SYNOPSIS.

Murray Sinclair and his gang OF wreck
ers were called out to clear the railroad
tracks at Smoky Creek. McCloud, a
young road superintendent, caught Sin
clair and his men in the act OF footing
the wrecked train. Sinclair pleaded In
hocence. declaring II only amounted 90 a
small sum--a treat for the men. McCloud
discharged the whole outfit and ordered
the wreckage burned. Mccloud became
acquainted with Dicksie Dunning, a girl
OF the west, who Came to look at the
wreck. She gave him a message for Sin
clair. Whispering Gordon Smith told
President Bucks OF the railroad of Nc
Clouds brave fight against a gang of
crazed miners and that waS the reason
for the superintendent's appointment to
his high office McCloud arranged 20
board at the boarding house of Mrs. Sin
clair, the eX-forcman's deserted wife.
Dicksie Dunning was the daughter OF the
late Richard Dunning, who had died OF A
broken heart shortly after HIS wife's
demise, which occurred after one year of
married life. Sinclair visited Marion Sim
clair's shop and a fight between him and
McCloud was narrowly averted. Smoky
Creek bridge was mysteriously burned.
McCloud prepared TO face the situation.
President Bucks notified Smith that he
had work ahead. McCloud worked for
days and finally got the division running
In fairly good order. He overheard Dick
sic criticising his methods, to Marion
Sinclair.
