Meanwhile the pandemonium raging
at the shops was beginning to surge

one had fred a box car. and the upblaze
centered fresh fury OF destruction,
Up at the head Of the three Sectioued
freight train mad mob was cutting

Dawson, crouching in the round
house door directly opposite. knew all

stantly OWNED the purpose of the en-

send the freight engine eastward on
the desert division main line to collide
with and wreck whatever coming

The threatened deed wrought itself
out before the craftsman could even

to the footboard of the freed locomo

at the levers long enough to hook up

CHAPTER XXVI.

THE CRUcIBLE.
My Miss Brewster herself
could have answered the
question of her whereabouts
at the exact moment Of Van
Lewis asking. She was left behind,
standing aghast in the midst Of tu-
mults. on the platform Of the Crows
Nest Terrified. like the others. at
the sudden outburst of violence, she
had ventured from the car to look for
Lidgerwood's messenger. and in the
moment Of frightened bewilderment
the Nadia had been whisked away.
Naturally her first impulse was to
ny. and the only refuge that offered
was the supertntendent's office on the
second floor. The stairway door was
only a little distance down the plat
form. and she was presently cropping
her way up, the light through the up
per corridor windows enabling her to
go directly TO the open door of the su
perintendent's Office. But when she
reached the door and looked within
the trembling terror returned and held

What she saw fitted itself to moth

men were covering with revolvers a

"Ths is where you pass out. Mr.
Lidgerwood." the man was saying
threateningIy You give US your
word that you will resign and leave
the Red Butte Western for keeps or
you'll sit in that chair till somebody
comes to take you out and bury you"
The twitching lips were controlled
with what appeared to be an almost
superhuman effort. but the words
came jerkily.

Washington, April 22.-with succor
only five miles away, the Titanic slid
into It's watcry grave, carrying with Il
more than 1000 OF its passengers ana
crew. while AN unidentified steamer
that might have saved all, failed or re-
fused to see the frantic signals of
those on board.
This tragic feature was brought ont
today before the senate investigating
committee when j. Boxhall, fourth of.
ficer of the Titanic. told of his unslc-
cessful effort 10 attract tho strangers
attention. This vessel. according 10
Boxhall, could not have been moro
than five miles away and was steam
ing toward the Titanic So close Was
II. that from the bridge Boxhall
plainly saw its masthead lights and
sideliGhts. Both with rocket and
with the Morse electrical signal did
the young officer hail the stranger.
Captain Smith and others on the
bridge said at the time their belief
was that the vessel had seen them
and was signalling In reply. Boxhall
failed to see the replies, however. ana
In any case. the steamer kept on II
course obliquoly past lie Titanic
without extending aid
This and the assertion by +. A. :.
Franklin, vice president of the White
Star line, that there were not enough
lifeboats aboard the Titanic To- care
for the ships company at on, time
were features Of the hearing.
The official was quizzcd throughout
the morning session on the messages
exchanged between the carpathia and
himself after the ship had started for
New York. with the Titunic's sur
vivors. among whom WAS j. Bruce Is
may. managing director of the line.
Among the wireless kilograms read
into the record was one from Mr.. Is
may urging that the steamship Cedric
be held until the Carpathla arrived
with it's sorry burden He believed
sit must be desirable that the sur
vivors of the Titanic's crew be rushed
out of the country as quickly as pos
sible." He also, the message said,
would sail on the Cedric and asked
that clothing be ready at the pier for
him when the Carpathia doclled. The
senatcs subpoena blocked the plan.
The committee Will resume It's
