mile or more he tramped the weed

was abandoned. and, he figured quite
correctly, that 1t had formerly led to
some worked.out mine.
Suddenly the track curved. swooped
downward. ran out Of the canyon. and
debauched on little valley all SCARED

heaps Of refuse. There, were even
some sheds and huts now rapidly fall

easily survey the whole scene while
picking his way over the ties
But what was that? A rather curious

warped and bent iron rods. clamps
and bolts protruding here and there

be no mistaking them-eight heavy
car wheels still connected by their
axles! In an instant he sized up the

for the remains Of railroad car, and
a freight car at that! He scrambled
down the incline and looking back
could see where the earth had been
scored as though some heavy body had
plowed through the soil and rock Of
the embankment. Viewed close at
hand. there could be no doubt: A
freight car had been burned on the
spot. and Marden began to suspect
that the C. & N. w. would never again
see one particular unit of Its rolling
stock.
However, there had been smoke and
fire; II the pile of debris had orig

run to Oakland and back. But not q
word was dropped about the missing
box car while swapping yarns in the
caboose between stations or sidings.
Nor could he discover through other
channels that there had been any un.
authorized offerings or settings Of sill

surances he rather suspected soul
duggery Of some sort on the part Of
the train crew.
Three weeks went by, and although
Marden had kept both ears and eyes
open In Reno and In Oakland, and up
and down the c. & p. the missing box
car was as much OF mystery as ever.
He began to get mad. Then he re-
solved to go over the division mile by
mile and on foot carefully inspecting
every yard Of the right of way. So,
preparing for roughing 1t, he start

on his hands and knees further up the
old workings. He had noticed that a
rill OF water ran down one side. which

Marden calculated that he had
crawled about hundred yards when
his stopped head came in violent con.

feeling forward with his hands he
made out low arch about four feet
high. through which the water was
running merrily and more swiftly than
ever. But what delighted him most
was to feel distinctly an upward draft

the upper world. And SO 1t proved.
After worming himself through this

With that he took two steps toward

The fellows talk. the fact that he

near the entrance pointed to but one
conclusion: Marden had ferreted out
the secret Of the missing box car and
its costly freight! But from the pres
ent situation 1t did not look as II the
information would do anyone very
much good.
The sentinel retreated to the en-.

ing with the shades of night; 1t was
wholly dark within. and the prisoner
squatted on the bare ground to plan
and think. After a while the man
with the gun kindled tiny fire, prob

In the western country few men are
rash enough to disobey that terse
challenge; Marden was no foolish ex.

he kept them there while the stranger
advanced. AT six PAGES he growled:

This was almost the last station in

His personal investigations thus far
had convinced Marden that the silver

puzzle, though apparently insoluble,
was really very simple could one but
stumble on the clew.
But after leaving Blue canyon sta.
