CHAPTER xxx.

II was December now, and winter
rad set in early. Temple found
it exceedingly difficult to secure
u the assistant surveyors, rodsmen,
chatnmen and the rest, whose services
were absolutely necessary, but by dint
of hard work he at last completed the
organization of his several engineering
corps and set to work surveying the
line, locating it, establishing grades
and the like.
Hurry it as he might, the work was
very slow because of the bad weather,
but at least it went forward, and early
IN January gangs Of men were sent
into each county to make a show, at
least, OF construction work and thus to
avoid all possibility of the forfeiture of
the county and town subscriptions.
The greatest difficulty encountered
was in meeting the requirement that a
car should actually cross the line be-
tween the two counties by noon of the
10Th of March. That part of the line
was peculiarly difficult of access. It
could be reached only by twenty-five
mile journey across country, over
roads which in the winter were well
nigh impossible. In order to build
any sort Of railroad line at the point
involved it was necessary to carry
across country all the tools, earth cars
and construction materials, together
with a large company of workmen.
Huts must be built to shield the men
from the severity of the weather, and
provisions for them must be hauled

over twenty miles Of swamp roads.
IN order to do so streams must be
brldged Tor the wagons and in many
places the road must be "corduroyed"
for many miles of it's extent that is to
say, 1t must be paved with unhewn
logs laid side by side across it.
It was near the end Of February,
therefore, before anything like sys-
tematic construction at that point
could be got under way.
Meanwhile Duncan's mission to New
York had been successful, though it
was attended by much of difficulty.
He had secured the necessary stock
subscriptions, and better still, he had
succeeded in inducing one of the great
trunk lines Of the east to guarantee a /,
considerable bond issue on the part Of
the new road under an agreement that
when completed it should be made in
effect an extension of the eastern com ..
pany's lines.
The only problem now was to pre-
vent that diversion of the proposed
line which Tandy was openly trying to
bring about. The New York capitalists
| DuuSdu udIl StCuIcu DIS SIOCk
holders in the enterprise were, many
Of them, disposed to look upon the pro-
posed change of terminus from Cairo
to the rival city with a good deal of ia
vor. Such change would considera-
bly, shorten the line to be built, and the
connection southwest from Paducah to
Memphis was in some respects more
desirable one than that from Cairo.
But Duncan had secured from the
capitalists a trustworthy promise that
the line should be built to Cairo, as
originally planned, provided the Cairo
people, with Duncan, Hallam and Staf-
ford at their head, should protect the
subscriptions of the two hesitatine
counties by meeting the requirement
imposed at Tandy's suggestion Thus
everything depended upon the compile
ton of track across that county line
before noon on the 10Th day of March,
Temple had succeeded in getting the
work started, but the task was a her.
culean one. Duncan hurried to the
scene of action as soon as he returned
from New York to Cairo. He found
that the space to be built over was
very low lying and that the nearest
source Of supply for earth with which
to build the high embankment required
| was nearly two miles distant.

CHAPTER XVIII.

hH ueAt udlI uOuE Was spent, us
Barbara expressed it, in ''per-
fecting the guess" she had made.
4 'Tandy has gone into that
Memphis and Ohio river enterprise up
to his eyes," said Duncan. NATURALLY
he has got his controlling interest in it
at an extremely low price as compar-
ed with the face value of the stock
and bonds, for the reason that the
road ends at Paducah, which is much
the same thing as ending nowhere.
but if he can succeed in diverting
our line to Paducah instead of Cairo,
thus securing an entirely satisfactory
connection north and east, his Memphis
and Ohio road will become part of one
OF the greatest trunk lines in this part
OF the country, and the advance in his
stock and bond holdings will make him
one of the richest men in the west.'
"That is what l was thinking, Gull
ford. but 1 hardly dared suggest it,
know so little. I didn't know that it
would be possible to change our line.
thought that maybe it's charter CON-
PEELED it to run to Cairo"
mo, unfortunately it doesn't. Tan
dy secured the charter in the first place,
before Hallam and Stafford went into
the project. l WONDER" he added, with
puzzled look, II wonder if the old
schemer was looking this far ahead.
At any rate, the charter, as Tandy had
it drawn, requires only that the line
shall be so located and constructed as
to connect the railroads running east
from it's eastern terminus with the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t doesn't say at what
point. That requirement would be
tully met, Of course, if the road should
be diverted to Paducah, connecting
there with the line to Memphis"
But why did Tandy want that coun-
ty line provision put into the bond
subscription
Look at the map again. Those two
counties lie west Of the point at which
the road must be turned south if it is
to be diverted to Paducah. If we fail
to build across that county line by
noon Of the 18th of next March the
subscriptions of both those counties
Will De FORFEITED. Then Tandy will
step in and offer the company that is
building the line a much larger sub
scription Of some sort from Paducah
and from his Memphis road as an in
ducement to shorten the line by taking
1t to Paducah instead of Cairo"
"That would ruin Cairo?' the girl
asked anxiously.
1T would be terrible blow to the
city's prosperity. But" looking at his
watch, II must lay this matter before
Hallam and Stafford tonight, late as
It is.''
Then, going to the little telegraph in
btrument which for his own conven-
lence he had installed in Barbara's
house, he called Captain Hallam out of
bed and clicked off the message:
The Princeton union., 1906-11-29

Barbara was silent for some time;
then she asked, SIS Mr.. Tandy inter
ested in any business at Paducah?'
II really don't know. He's in all
sorts Of things, you know. But why
do you ask?"
Instead of answering she asked an
other question:
"Is he interested in the company you
spoke of, that is building a line from
Memphis to the Ohio river?'
Eyes; he's heavily in that Indeed,
he is president of it, believe, or some
thing like that, just as he is of our
| cOmpany-Well, no; the parallel doesn't
hold, for ours is only projecting COM
pany as yet, while that is full fledged
railroad company actually engaged in
building. I suppose that is one of the
things that tied Tandy up at the time
of the bank trouble. He had put a
pot of money into it, and he could nei-
ther sell his stock nor raise money on
it till the road should be finished and
in operation. But why do you ask
about that, Barbara?"

and, returning, spread out a map on a
table,
'Look," she said, putting her finger
on the map. "At point only little
east Of that county line concerning
which Tandy got the strange stipula-
tion made our proposed line will be
much nearer to Paducah than the dis
tance from that point to Cairo. May
it not be possible"-
'By Jove, Barbara Duncan ex-
claimed as he bent over the map,
you've solved the riddle! What a
splendid combination it is! And how
we must hustle to defeat it!''
''You must be calm, then, and let us
work it all out and be sure Of every
thing before you tell Captain Will
about it. I want you to have full
credit for the timely discovery"
me? Why, it is all yours, Barbara,
and you are to have all the credit"
"Oh, no. You told me the things that
enabled me to guess it out, and I've
only been trying to help you. I'm glad
If I have helped, but positively my

mats about all I remember of what
the gazetteer says about the interesting
burg"
And you know that isn't what I
want you to tell me- Are there anv
railroads there?"
"One small one, running from the
south, ends there, I believe, and the
Paducah people are trying to induce
the company which is building the
Memphis and Ohio River railroad to
make it's northern terminus there in
stead of at Cairo. They are trying,
too, to get bridge built across the
Ohio at that point. They are unlikely
to succeed in either project, for the
reason that they have no railroad con.
nection north or east Railroads from
the south running into Paducah would
ind no outlet except by the river"
