train and walked into the stateroom
to sort his collections / followed him.
We sat half an hour alone and undis-
turbed, but he wouldn't talk. 1t was
heavy train and the wind was high.
We made Rat River after midnight,

open stateroom when / saw Dawes
green light coming down the darkened
aisle. He walked in, put his lamp on
the floor, sat down and threw his feet
on the cushions.
''How's Tommie tonight?" he asked,
leaning back as If he hadn't seen me
before, in his old teasing way. He
played light heart sometimes, but 1t
was no more than played; that was
easy seeing.
"How's Dave? He turned, pulled
the window shade and looked out.
There was a moon, and the night was
bright, only windy.
'What are you going to do with
Bucks. Dave7"
"Do you want my punch, Tommie?"
"You know better than that, don't
you?"
'I guess SOL

coach l saw the outline Of a man
sprawled on his face In the aisle. The
news agent crawled out from under a
seat. 1t must have been short and hor-
ribly sharp.
They had tagged the train east of
Bear Dance. Two men boarded the
front platform of the smoker and one
the rear. But the two In front opened
the smoker door just as Dave was hur-
rying forward to investigate the stop.
He was no man to ask questions. He

only boy on the division he cared any
thing about-it struck him. as it struck
me, all In heap. He couldn't say a
word. His eyes went out the window
into the mountains; something In it
looked like fate. For my part, felt
murder guilty.

ed Bucks evenly, sis to come into the
office here With me and look after the

DO you want the job?'
The silent conductor turned to stone.
'"The men who own the road are new
men. Dave. They didn't steal 1T; they
bought it and paid for It. They want
new deal. and they propose to give
new deal to the men. They will pay
salaries man can live on honestly;
they will give no excuse for knocking
down; they want what's coming to
them, and they propose the men shall
have their right share OF it in the pay
checks.
But there's more than that In it.

force, as fast as 1t can be built, from
the men in the ranks I aim to make
a start now on this division II you're

Dave left the office groggy. The best
Bucks could do he couldn't get posi-
tive answer out of him. He was over

ton. Bucks saw how he had gone to
pieces and managed automatically to
leave the matter open. Callahan. whom
Bucks had brought with him rs as

The matter was noised 1t was known
that Dave, admittedly the brainiest and
most capable of the old guard, had
been singled out, regardless of his past
record, for promotion. I'm not here
sitting in judgment on what was done
last year. Bucks had said plainly.
TITS what is done this year and next
that will count In this office" And the
conductors, thinking there WAS a
chance, believing that at last if they
did their work right they would get
their share of the promotions. began to
carry their lanterns as If they had
more important business than holding
up stray fares.
