a strong current of discontent set
from the managing head Of the Stone
ranch. Rumors of Lance Cummings
dissatisfaction often reached the rail-
road people. Vague talk OF an extern
sive irrigation scheme planned by Sin
clair for the Crawling Stone valley
crept into the newspapers. and it was
generally understood that Lance Dun
ming had expressed himself fayorably
to the enterprise.
Dicksle gave slight heed to matters
as weighty as these. She spent much

the two closer to each other.
One March afternoon, coming nome
from Medicine Bend, she saw at some
distance before her a party Of men on
horseback. She was riding a trail
leading from the pass road that fol
lowed the hills. and the party was
coming up the bridge road from the

their traditions, with curiosity and dis.
trust. On the other hand, the new and
younger blood took hold with con-
fidence, and when Glover called. "Yo,
heave ho!" at headquarters, they bent
themselves clear across the system for
hard pull together.
McCloud, resting the operating on
the shoulders of his assistant Ander-
son, devoted himself wholly to for
warding the construction plans. and
his first clash over winter road-build-
ing In the Rockies came with his own
right-hand man, Mears. McCloud put
In a switch below Piedmont. opened a
material yard and began track laying
toward the lower Crawling Stone val
ley. when Mears said IL was time to
stop work till spring. When McCloud
told him he wanted track across the
divide and into the lower valley by
spring, Mears threw up his hands. But
there was metal in the old man, and
he was for orders all the time. He
kept up a running fire OF protests and
forebodings about thu danger OF ex-
posing men during the winter season,
but stuck to his past.

CHAPTER XII.
The Quarrel.

The beginning OF the Crawling Stone
line marked the first determined effort
under President Bucks, while under
taking the reconstruction of the sys-
tenn for through traffic, to develop the
rich, local territory tributary to the
mountain division. New policies in
construction dated from the same
period. Glover, with an enormous
capital stalxed for the new undertake
ings, gave orders to push the building
every month in the year. and for the
first time in mountain railroad build
ing winter was to be ignored. The
older mountain men met the innova-
