The Mills of the Gods

T was merely by chance that Adair
had Michael Gallagher for his en-
gineer when the "0I' was made up
for the after midnight run from
saints Rest to the Marlborough head
quarters But it was a chance which
was duly gratifying to Leckhard. The
little Irishman was Ford's most loyal
liegeman. and a word was all that was
needed TO put him on his mettle. The
word was spoken while he was oiling
around for the man killing extra
service.
Pretty well knocked out. Michael? p
asked Leekhard. by way of preface.
Il am thot. Afisther Leckhard 'Tis

It's tough. But if any of the other
men were in l should still ask you to

him out He can do it if you get him
to Horse creek in time; and l know
you'll get him there if the $50 and the
OF will stay on the steel"
TO help Mlsther Foord out? Thot's
me- said Gallagher simply.
Not having a wire, can't boost you
any from this end. You'll meet Folsom
and Graham with the other sections of
empties where you can; you'll run as
fast as the Lord'll let you on such a
track as you have; but, above ALL you'll
stay on the rails. If you ditch your
self it'll go hard with Mr. Ford
I'll do all thin things and wan more
and thot wan is the shtiffest av thin
all; the saints adm me, Misther Leck-
hard, I'll shtay awake"
There was a short siding at the sum-
nit OF the pass. and by good hap Gal
lagher met Folsom with the first
string of empties at that point; or,
rather. giving the bit OF good luck full
credit, he heard the roaring of Folsom S

The Man ON Horsebaek

g INCE the weather was rather
threatening. and the promise of
October in the intermountain re-
gion is not to be lightly trified
with. Mr. Colbrith pressed for an early
start on the II mile blackboard jaunt to
Copah over the detour survey
1t was by his express command that
the private car party was called at
daybreak. and that breakfast was
served In the Nadia at s o'clock. Aand
at 7 sharp, which chanced to be the
precise time of day when Adair's COM
mandeered Italians were spiking the
last of the displaced rails into position
at the gap in the track 33 miles away,
the buckboards were drawn up at the
steps of the presidents car
For reasons charitable. as well as
practical, Ford had planned to leave
Frisbie out of this second dance of at
tendance upon the president. The
track layers were well up toward the
head of Horse creek gulch. with Bris-
sac to drive; but during the night the
Louisianian had reported In with a
touch of mountain fever. and Ford had
asked Frisbie to go up and take his

Dawn came when the end of track
camp was still 40 miles away, but
the breaking day brought no surcease
of strugglings. When it came to the
bitter end Wen his eyelids would
with start to wonder dumbly how
far the 956 had come masterless, Gal
lagher took a chew of tobacco and be-
gan to rub the spittle into his eyes
the last resort of the sleep tormented
engineman. Like all the other expedi-
ents it sufficed for the time; but before
long he was nodding again, and dream
ing shat a thousand devils were burn
ing his eyes out with the points of
their red hot pitchforks.
Out of one of these Nightmares he
came with yell of pain to see what
figured for the moment as another
nightmare. Three hundred feet ahead
the track seemed to vanish for three
or four rail lengths. 1t was second
nature to jam on the brakes and to
make the sudden stop. Then he sat
still and rubbed his smarting eyes and
stared again. The curious hallucina-
tion persisted strangely. Fifty feet
ahead of the stopped engine the glis-
tening lines of the steel ended abrupt
ly, beginning again a car length or two
beyond. Without disturbing the sleep
ing Jackson, Gallagher got down and
crept cautiously out to the break. 1t
was a break. He stopped and felt the
rail ends with his hands.
When he Strengthened up his passen-
ger was standing beside him.
What is it?" asked Adair. Have
we lost something?
Gallagher waved a grimy hand at
the gap.

sion" he said; there is good sized
piece of track missing. Who sniped
it, do you suppose?''
The engineer was shaking his fiery
head.
"'Tis beyond me, Misther Adair"
That's the deuce of it, smiled tho
young man. Its beyond the train.
How is your engine-pretty good on
the broad jump
Gallagher was not past laughing
She'll not lep thot. this day But
who'd be doin' this job betune dark an
mornin, dye think?"
'You will have to ask me something
easy, I'm not up in all the little prac-
tical jokes of the country But If I
should venture guess, should say it
was some one who didn't want me to
answer the first call for breakfast at
your end-of-tr track camp this morning.
What do we do?"
Gallagher was thinking.
1--WE passed a camp av surfacers tin
mile back. and, there'd be rails at Ar

said refiectively.
Adair had passed over to the river
side of the line and was looking at a
fresh -plowing of the embankment

and tools we might fish them out and

the throttle wide open, the "01, being
wider than it's plotting engine, would
have had it's side ripped out.
Graham had a glimpse into the cal
of the $50 as it passed and saw Gal
lagher, sitting erect on his box with
wide staring eyes. He knew the symp-
toms, and feared that he had only
postponed the catastrophe The siding
was a short one, and he knew that
in backing down he must inevitably
+ have showed the rear end of his train
out upon the main line at the lower
switch. Once again the level brain
righted itself to the emergency. -Four
sharp shrieks of the whistle for
switches, a jamming of the whistle

in the hope of arousing Gallagher. and
Graham slammed his engine into the
forward motion without pausing tC
close the throttle. There was grind
ing of fire from the wheels, a running
jangle of slacktaking down the long
line of empties, and the freight train
shot ahead, snatching its rear end out
of harms way just as Gala CHER
dreaming that his boiler had burst and
that all the fiends of the pit were
screeching the news of it, came to
life and snapped on the air.
When the stop was made the little
Irishman reused his fireman. got off
and footed it up the line to see what
he had done Graham had stopped his
engine when he was sure his train
was clearing the lower switch and was
on his way back to find out what had
happened to Gallagher. The two men

terial empties. and it was the Irishman
who began 1t.

.'Tis OWN to me-"
without word the Scotchman gave
the blow catching the little man full

fireman was asleep on the coal. and to
the little Irishman's bombardment of

turned only sodden groans. Gallagher
nerved himself to fight it through
