CHAPTER XVIII.
rhe Battle on the Desert.


Out In the sagecovered wilds q
horde OF pigmies charged the ice
bound earth with pick and powder,
Fighting desperately against endless
malignant obstacles. George Gregory
forged on toward Salt Lake. the goal
of his dreams.
Side by side, mile after mile, the
rival companies ran their grades. the
Central Pacific working steadily east,
the Union Pacific rushing west from
their main front. and pushing east
with the grade they had begun at
Humboldt Wells. They hoped to out.
run their rivals and meet their own
iron far west OF Salt Lake.
Thus the days sped. Gregory's life
became a profane prayer for iron. For
ten days his men worked but four
hours a day. The rest OF the time
they slept. visited or tramped. A few
quarreled, some gambled on the sly.
Yet these men averaged well. and II

Time went on and the lawyer felt secure, but AhI alas. and alackl the lane turned at last. His own brilliant son who had just entered the high school was made drunk, yes drunk. Why did that matter?

still critical. however, and no great
hopes are built on the strength of the

once during the day hope was almost
abandoned. but as the cool evening
came the patient was somewhat re-
