railroad man. The gun covered him
with a flash and a roar. Reynolds,
whatever his faults, was a shot. His
bullet cut cleanly through the crown,
and the powder almost burned Shock

himself instantly and, taking off his
cap, laughed as he examined the hole.
"Done with meY' he asked evenly,

Peg Leg drained his glass before he
spoke. Get outr" he snapped. The
switchman started on the word for the
front door. When he opened it every
body laughed but Shockley.
Maybe an hour later Reynolds was
sitting back of the stove in a card
game when a voice spoke at his ear.

into a pistol. Behind it stood Shock

There appeared to be no hopeful alter

Not cowboy interposed. Under con-

1t was getting dark, and Callahan sat
In that part of the Benkleton depot he
called the office, pulling at muddy
root that went unaccountably hot in
sudden flashes. He took the pipe from
his mouth leaving his foot on the ta-
BILE, and looked at the bowl resentfully,
wondering again If there could be pow
der In that internal tobacco of Rube-
dos. The mouthpiece he eyed as a
desperate man might ponder final
shift
The pipe had originally come from
Gods country, with beautiful am
ber mouthpiece and beautiful bowl,
but 1t was a present from his sister
and had been bought at dry goods
store. Once when thinking-or, IL you
please, when not thinking-Callaha
had held lighted match to the beau
tiful amber mouthpiece instead of to
the tobacco, and In the fire that ensued
they had hard work to save the depot.
Callahan never wrote his sister about
1t. He thought only about buying
pipes at dry goods stores and about
being, when they exploded, thousand
miles from the man who sold them.
There was plenty In that to think
about. What he now brought his teeth
reluctantly together on was part of
the rubber tube of a dismantled ato-
mizer, in happier post Christmas days
a toilet fixture But Callahan had
abandoned the use of bay rum after
shaving. His razor had gone to the
scrap and ON Sunday morning he mere
ly ran a pair of scissors over the high
joints--for Callahan was railroading-
and on the front.
After losing the mouthpiecc he would
have been completely in the air but for
little Chris oxen. Chris was Callahan's
section gang. His name was once
Ochsner, but that wasn't in Benkleton.
Callahan was hurried when he made up
the payroll and put 1t Oxen, as being
better United States. l say United
States because Callahan said United
States in preference to English.
Chris had been In America only three
years, but he had been in Russia 300
and in that time had learned many
ways of getting something out of moth
ing. When the red haired dispatcher,
after the explosion, cast away with Bit
terness the remains of the pipe, Chris
picked it up and by judicious action
on the atomizer figured out new
mouthpiece no worse than the original
for, while the second, like the first, was
of rubber, 1t was not of the explosive
variety.
Chris presented the remodeled root
to Callahan as surprise. Callahan, in
a burst of gratitude, promoted him on
the spot. He made little Chris fore
man. 1t didn't bring any advance in
pay, but there was the honor To be
foreman was an honor, and, as little
Chris was the only man on the yard
force, he became by promotion foreman
of himself.
So Callahan sat thinking of the in
