never heard till then, and the two gi-
ants hurried away together. When I
reached the skyscraper, buried in the
thick of the smash, roaring like vol
cano, theSpair were already into the
jam like a brace of ferrets, hunting COR
the engine crews. 1t seemed an hour,
though it was much less. before they
found any one. Then they brought cut
55s fireman. NeighDor found him. But
his back was broken. Back again they
wormed through twisted trucks, under
splintered beams. in and around and
overlooked with heat, blinded by
steam, shouting as they groped, listen
ing for word or cry or gasp.
Soon we heard Dads voice in a diff
ferent cry-one that meant everything;
and the wreckers. turning like beavers
through a dozen blind trails, gathered
all close to the big fireman. He was
under a great piece of the cab, where
none could follow, and he was crying
for a bar. They passed him bar.
Other men, careless of life and limb.
tried to crawl under and in to him. but
he warned them back Who but a man
baked twenty years in an engine cab
could stand the steam that poured on
him where he lay?
Neighbor. just outside, flashing a
light, heard the labored strain of his
breathing; saw him getting half up,
bend to the bar and saw the iron give
like lead in his hands as he pried
nightly.
Neighbor heard. and he told me long
afterward, how the old man flung the
bar away with an imprecation, and
cried for one to help him; for a minute
meant a life now-the boy lying pinned
under the shattered cab was roasting
in jet Of live steam. The master me-
chanic crept in.
BY signs Dad told him what to do,
and then, getting on his knees, crawied
straight into the dash of the white jet
-crawled into it, and got the cab on
his shoulders.
Crouching an instant. the giant mus
cles of his back set in a tremendous
effort. The wreckage snapped and
groaned, the knotted legs slowly and
painfully Strengthened, the cab for
passing instant rose in the air and in
that instant Neighbor dragged George
McNeal from out the wise of death and
passed him, like a pinch-bar, to the

Even after George went to work

cost him his good back to lift George
loose, so that surgeon told us, and
believe 1t, for when they got the jacks
under the cab next morning, and
Neighbor told the wrecking gang that
Hamilton alone had lifted it six inches
the night before, on his back, the
wrecking boss fairly snorted at the
statement; but Hamilton did, just the
same.

It's a lawyer that looks after him

''WeH, what's his name?"
Scaylor-Ephraim Scaylor.'
''Scaylor?' echoed George, in amaze

Yes. Why, do you know him?"

In the early spring, two men, Joseph Ncwhauser and Joseph Sliscovich, went on 'staking" expedition to the head waters of the Eldorado river and in the Kougarok, and the result of few days work with pencil and hatchet was the separation of fifty-nine I6o-acre tracts, or 9 40 acres of ground, from the public domain Had there been any more land in the vicinity, they would have probably staked it also.
