and would have killed him if the free accomplice had not torn his locked fin gers apart by main strength. But it was two against one, and when it was over the confiagration light reckoning the southern windows sufficed for the knotting of the piece of hemp flashing with which the two masked garroters were binding their victim in his chair
 Meanwhile the pandemonium raging at the shops was beginning to surge backward into the railway yard. Some one had fired a box car, and the upblaze centered fresh fury of destruction. Up at the head of the three sectioned freight train a mad mob was cutting the leading locomotive free.
 Dawson, crouching in the round house door directly opposite, knew all that Judson could tell him, and he in- stantly divined the purpose of the en- send the freight engine eastward on the desert division main line to collide with and wreck whatever coming thing it was that they feared.
 The threatened deed wrought itself out before the draftsman could even attempt to prevent it. A man sprang to the fcotbcard of the freed locomo- tive, jerked the throttle open, stayed at the levers long enough to hook up to the most effective cutoff for speed and jumped for his life.
 Dawson was deliberate. but not slow witted. While the abandoned engine was as yet only gathering speed for the eastward dash he was lodging the struggling rioters in the yard, racing purposely for the only available To- comotive, ready and headed to chase the runaway-namely. the big eight wheeler coupled to the presidents car. He set the switch to the main line as he passed it, but there was no time to uncouple the engine from the private car, even if he had been willing to leave the woman he loved and those with her helpless in the midst of the rioting.
 So there was no more than gasped out word to Williams as he-climbed to the cab before the eight wheeler, with the Nadia in tow, shot away from the Crows Nest platform. And it was not until the car was growing angrily over the yard limit switches that Van Lew burst into the central compart- ment like a man demented to demand excitedly of the three women who were clinging, terror stricken, to Judge Holcombe:
 "Who has seen Miss Eleanor? Where is Miss Eleanor?"

have done your errand come back to the presidents car, ask for Miss Brew ster and say that I sent you. Then stay within call and be ready to- do whatever she wants you to do."A
 Bogafd did the first part of his CT rand swiftly. Synchronized as perfect ly as if a single throttle lever con- trolled them all, the three heavy freight pullers hissed, strained, belch- ed fire, and the long train began to move out.
 1t was Lidgerwood's challenge to the outlaws, and as if the blasts of the three tearing exhausts had been the signal it was awaiting the strike storm broke with the suddenness and fury of tropical hurricane. From a hundred hiding places in the car strewn yard men came running, some to swarm thickly upon the moving en- zines and cabooses, others swinging by the drawheads to cut the air brake hose.
 Benson was swept aside and over powered before he could strike bloE. Bogard, speeding across to take his post beside the Nadia, was struck down before he could get clear of the pouring hornet swarm. Shots were fired; shrill yells arose. Into the midst of the clamor the great siren whistle at the shops boomed out the fire alarm and almost at the same instant a red glow, capped by a rolling nimbus of sooty oil smoke, rose to beacon the destruction already begun in the shop yards. And while the roar of the siren was still jarring upon the windless night air the electric light circuits were cut. leaving the yards and the Crows Nest in darkness and the fran tic battle for the trains to be lighted only by the moon and the lurid glow of destruction spreading slowly under its black canopy of smoke.
 In the Crows Nest the sudden coup of the strikers had the effect which its originator had doubtless counted upon. It was some minutes after the lights were cut off and the irruption had swept past the captured and disabled trains to the shops before Lidgerwood

 could get his small garrison together and send it, with McCloskey for it's which was presumably fighting des- perately for. the control of the power plant and the fire pumps.
 Only McCloskey's protest and his own anxiety for the safety of the Ma dia's company kept Lidgerwood from leading the little relief column of lOy- al trainmen and headquarters clerks in person. The. lust of battle was in his blood, and for the time the shrink ing palsy of physical fear held aloof.
 When the sally of the trainmaster and his forlorn hope squad had left the office story of the headquarters build ing almost deserted it was the force of mere mechanical habit that sent LfdgerwOod back to his room to close his desk before going down to order the Nadia out of the zone of immediate danger. There was a chair in his way. and in the darkness and in his haste he stumbled over it. When he recov- cred himself two men with handker- chief masks over their faces were en tering from the corridor, and as he turned at the sound of their footsteps they sprarg upon him.
 For tho first remembera ble time II his life Howard Lidgerwood met the challenge of violence joyfully. with every muscle and nerve singing the battle song and huge willingness to slay or be slain arming him for the hand to hand struggle. Twice he drove the lighter of the two to the wall with well planted blows, and once he got a deadly wrestlers hold on the tall man

 Out in the yard the yellings and shoutings had taken on a new note, and the windows of the upper room were jarring with the thunder of in coming trains. Eleanor Brewster heard the new sounds vaguely-the jangle and clank of the trains, the quick, steady tramp of disciplined men. snap ped out words of command. the sud den cessation of the riot clamer and now a shuff1ing of feet on the stairway behind her.
 Still she could not move. still she was speeches. and spellbound. but no longer from terror. Her cousin-her lover-how she had misjudged him. He coward-this man who was holding his two executioners at bay. quelling' them. cowing them by the sheer force of the stronger will and of a courage that was infinitely greater than theirs.
 The shuffiing footsteps came nearer, and once again Lidgerwood straight ened himself in his chair, this time with a mighty struggle that broke tn: knotted cords and freed him.
 'I said could name you. and vill." he cried, springing to his feet You" pointing to the smaller man you are Pennington Flemister, ans 7ou," wheeling Upon the tall man an owering his yoice-"you are Ranki Iallockr'
 The light of the fire in the shop yar, iad died down until it's red glow orger drove the shadows from th -orners of the room. Eleanor shran side when a a'dozen men pushed thei way into the private office. Then su, !enly the electric lights went on, an gruH voice said: Drop tkem gun ou two. The shows over.
 It was McC!oskey who gave the o. ier, and it was obeyed sullenly. Wit he chatter of the weapons on the fot he door Of the outer office Opent ,1th jerk. and Judson thrust a ham uffed prisoner of bis own capturin nto the lighted room.
 ''There he is. Efr. Lidgerwood narled the engineer-constable. labbed him over wonder at the fir working to put it out. just as if L hadn't told his gang to go and set it.
 "Hallockr' exclaimed the superii tendent, starting as if he had seen ghost ''How is this? Are there tw of your"
 Hallock looked down moodily. 'There were two of us who wanted your job, and the other one needed it badly enough to wreck trains and to kill people and to lead a lot of pig headed trainnen and mechanics into a riot to cover his tracks,
 Lidgerwood turned quickly. "Un- mask those men. McCloskey"

mercial fishing on the Rogue river.
The legislature was never SO closely
watched in this part of Oregon. Sus-
pension OF fishing on the Rogue river
is working a great hardship on the

canneries means no vessels into Gold

carried that assumption to Senator
Carson, of Marion, with the view per-
