was forgotten then. Every slowed,
twisted, weather beaten, crippled up,
gin shivered old wreck of a wrecker-
they were hard men-had something to
say about Delaroo. And with their
hair matted and their faces streaked
and their shirts daubed and their ell
bows in blood, they said it-whatever
it was, much or little-of Delaroo.
The picks swung, the derricks creak-
ed, and all day with the heaving and
the calling they toiled, but the sun
was sinking before they got to thu
middle of it. Then Benedict Morgan
crawling under the drivers of the hin(
mogul, partly uncovered, edged on
with a set face; he swore he hear
breathing. It was alcohol to the vein
of the double gang. Neighbor himself
went in and heard-and stayed to
fasten grapple to pull the engine
truck off the roof of a box car that
was damned over and against the
mogul stack.
The big derrick groaned as the slack
drew, and the truck crashed through a
tier of stays and swung whirling into
suspended wheels and raising his ak
bit a hole into the damned roof.
Through that they passed second
grapple, and presently it gave sullenly,
toppled back with a crash, and the
foremost axman peering into the
opening saw the heart of the wreck.
Bending forward, he picked up some
thing struggling in his arms. They
thought it was man, but it was a
sheep, alive and uninjured, under all
the horror; that was the breathing they
heard. Benedict Morgan threw the
man and his burden aside and stepped
himself into the gap and through. One
started to follow, but the chief of the
wreckers waved him back. Close bv
where the sheep had been freed stood
Delaroo. He stood as If with ear alert,
so closely did the counterfeit seem the
real. So sure was the impression Of
life that not until Morgan, speaking to-
the fireman, put his hand on his Shout

quite dead just where the shock had
caught him in his cab.

big fellow, pallid and scared, tottered
after them, and when they laid the
dead man down half fell at his side
It was Maize Sampson.
1t surprised every body the way Majt
Sampson went to pieces after Delaroo
was killed The Indian was carried
back to the Bend and up to Simpsons
and laid out in the God forsaken par
lor, but Maize wasn't any good fixing
things up that time. He usually shone
on like occasions. He was the COM
forter of the afflicted to an extraordi-
nary degree. He gave the usual mourn
er no chance to let up. But now his
day was as one that is darkened. When
Neighbor went up next night to see
about some minor matters connected
with the funeral and the precedence Of
the various dozen orders that were to
march he found Maize Sampson and
Martie alone in the darkness Of the
parlor with the silent Delaroo.
Maze turned to the master mechanic
from where Delaroo lay. ''Nefghbor,

nor a P. S. g. Of w. E., but he was a
roundhouse man, and between Maize and
a railroad man, wiper even, there was
q bond stronger than grip or password
or Jolly business of any kind The 9th
er things Maize, without realizing it,
merely played at, but as to the railroad
Law. if railroad man was the right
sort he could borrow anything the big
fellow had-money, plug tobacco, pipe,
water bottle, strong bottle-it made no
odds what. And, on the other hand,
Maize wouldn't hesitate to borrow any
or all of these things in return. The
railroad man who got ahead of Maize
Sampson in this respect had claims to
be considered a past grand in the
business.
The doughty engineer lifted and
dragged and hauled Delaroo home with
him. If there was no hospital, Martie
had said. no pest house. no nothing,
the smallpox up at SIMPSONS except
the baby, and the doctor had said
lately the baby appeared to need some
thing They had really everything up
at SIMPSONS sooner or later-measles,
diphtheria, Group, everything on earth
with the washing and mending and
scrubbing and cooking, nursed the out
cast wiper through his smallpox. The
baby took it, of course, and Martie
nursed the baby through and went on
just the same as before - washing,
mending, cooking, scrubbing. Delaroo
when he got we'll went to firing; Neigh
Dor offered the job as a kind of con-
ISOLATION prize, and he went to firing
on the 264 for Maize Sampson.
It was then that Maize took Delaroo
fairly In hand and showed him the
unspeakable folly of trying to get
through the world without the COM
radeship and benefits Of the B. S. L. s
of q. and the fraters Of the order of
the double barreled star of MacDuff
Delaroo caught good deal of it on
the sidings, where they lay most of
their time lodging first class trains,
and evenings when they got in from
their runs Delaroo, having nowhere
else to go, used to wander after sup
per up to SIMPSONS. At Simpsons he
would sit in the shade of the lamp and
smoke while Maize, in his shirt sleeves,
held forth on the benevolent orders
and one boy crawled through the
bowels of the organ and another pulled
off the tablecloth, Delaroo always saw
ing the lamp, and a third harassed the
dog and a fourth stuck pins in fifth
and Martie, sitting on the dim side of
the shade, so the operation would not
appear too glazing, mended at Maje's
mammoth trousers.
Delaroo would sit and listen to Maize
and watch the heave Of the organ with
the boy, and the current of the table
cloth with the lamp, and the quarter in
which the dog was chewing the baby,
and watch Martie's perpetual motion
fingers for a whole evening, and go
back to the boarding house without
passing word with anybody on earth,
he was that silent. ~
In this way the big, blufing engineer
gradually worked Delaroo into all the
secret benevolent orders in Medicine
Bend. That meant pretty much every
one on earth. There arose always, how
ever, in connection with the limitations
of Delaroo one hitch. He never seem
ed quite to know whom he wanted to
leave his insurance money to. He could
