Just above Wounded Bear Pass was
tunnel through the mountain, but
on the eastern side of the road skirt
ed the face of the cliff picking It's
tortuous way around the peaks OF the
upper range. A second tunnel had
been planned to cut off this detour,
and George Adams had come TO take
charge of the construction gang.
They were working but a single
shift, and Adams had fallen into the
habit of jumping the west-bound
freight TO the Storning cottage. and
spending the evening there, and
making his way upgrade through
the tunnel TO the construction camp,
unless the eastward freight happen
ed to be late,
1t had not been long before he
had won a confession OF love from
Ada, and they had planned TO marry
when the work should be completed.
George figured that by that time he
should have saved enough for home
and the prompt construction OF the
tunnel would probably mean a better
positlon with the road.
He had gone down to division
headquarters TO consult with the
chief engineer, and had purchased
box OF candy for Ada, little think
ing how greatly she would appre-
ciato the gift,
It was nearly dark when he at last
reached the construction camp just
below the gaping mouth of the new
tunnel. Cassidy, his foreman, met
him with doleful face.
"Those greasers are at 1t again"
he reported as Adams came up "They

formed the greater part OF the con-

There he was presently waited up
on by a deputation who garruously
demanded the immediate dismissal of

insulted their religion aud their
