 No telling when they might catch upl
 The fear of this laet catastrophe worked together with his fears of Ju- dth to render that night a sleepless one for Barcus He spent it in chair whence he could watch both the door to the compartment Judith had chosen for her own formerly Marrophat's S quarters) and the endless ribbons of steel that swept beneath the tracks
 But nothing happened. He mapped uneasily from time to time, waking with a start of fright, but always to find nothing amiss, Ever Judith stopped behind that closed door, and ever the track behind was innocent of the glare of pursuing headlight.
 Nor did anything untoward mark the progress Of the morning-unless, in deed. Judith's protracted sessions with her father behind the closed door of the drawing room were to be counted ominous
 Ever since lunch-time the girl had been closeted with her father: Barcus had been getting some well-earned and sorely-needed rest in his quarters; Alan standing his watch on the obser- vation platform. in company with Rose; and the train booming along through an uncouth wilderness of arid mountains, barren mesas, and sun smitten flats given over to the dssolate genius of sagebrush.
 Whatever had been the tenor of the communication between father and daughter, Judith eventually emerged from the drawing room in an omnous temper, Barcus, coming drowsily away from his compartment at the same time. was jared wide awake by sight of the fOreboding countenance she wore; and after a moment of doubt followed her back to the lounge at the rear of the car.
 He got there in time to see her at rigid standstll staring steadfastly at the two figures so close together on the observation platform. But on his appearance Judith shook herself together, snatched up a magazine, and plunged wrathfully into an easy chair burying her nose between the pages of the publication with every indication of deep interest in it's text.
 Mir. Barcus, however, had learned the lesson of bitter experience to the effect that the outward bearing of Miss Judith Trine was no sure index to her inward humor-unless, that is 1t might be taken to indicate the di rect contrary of its semblance though even this was no reliable rule Reminding himself of this. he there fore invented morbid interest in an other magazine-round the edge oi which he kept wary eye upon the young woman.
 For all her exasperation, Judith con tained herself longer than might have been expected Her continued show of placidity, indeed. lulled Barcus into a dangerous feeling of security. Per suaded that she meant to behave, ht gradually ceased to watch her as mar rowly as at first, and lost himself in ( morose reverie whose subject was tho seemingly permanent mourning into which he had plunged his face anC

 While speaking. he was lowering himself between the ties.
 "All right" he announced briefly.
 With a word to Rose, Alan slipped down beside Barcus, shifted his hold to the body of the latter, and climbed down over him until he was supported solely by the grasp of his two hands on Barcus ankles.
 Instantly Rose followed him, slip ping like a snake down over the two men till she in turn hung by her grasp on Alans ankles, then released her hold and dropped the balance Of the distance to the ground, a scant ten feet. landing without injury.
 A thought later Alan dropped lightly to her side. staggered tritie, recov- cred and dragged her out of the way.
 Barcus fell with heavy thump and went upon his back. but demonstrated his lack of injury by immediately pick ing himself up and joining the others in a mad scramble for safety. Overhead the special engine, hur- ting onward like some titanic bolt, struck the caboose with crash ike the explosion of a cannon. It collapsed upon itself like a thing of pasteboard.
 That it had been constructed Of more solid stuff was abundantly proved by the shower of timbers, splin- ters and broken iron that rained about the heaCs of the fugitives.

 Thank you so much!" she laughed into his face of discontinue: and drop ping him an ironic curtsy, she turned forward and swung into the drawing room occupied by Trine.

Heaven knows it's hot enough without wearing more clothing than decency demands But you never can tell about a wom an I bet a dollar I've made g blithering ass of myself--letting hei loose at all!"
 He took his doubts aft, communi eating them to Alan and Rose.

CHAPTER xxxil.
,laht Enaine.


 Toward the close of that summers fsy it was the whim of that arch-man ager of theatricals whom men call Fate to stage an anticlimax in the midst of vast and hilly expanse of desolate middle western country--e rude and rugged disk of earth which boasted no human tenancy within a circle of it's far-flung horizon and was bisected. not neatly. rather irregular ly. by the flowing double line of steel ribbons which marked the railroads g right of way over the old Santa Fe trail
 So much for the stage the light ef- fects were provided exclusively by the crimson and purple and gold of DOT tentous sunset: the properties em- ployed were simply special train and what is known as a light engine (mean- ing a locomotive unhandicapped by cars) audience there was none, if one except the actors who were one and all far too deeply preoccupied with the interpretation of their several roles tt UG AR AA v VI tht hAARNs
 They were not many in number perhaps half a dozen aboard the spe- cial train-which was making away as fast as it could run toward the glory of the sunset; as many more aboard the light engine.
 It was the engineer who etarted the trouble. After bringing his monster to a full pause, he turned upon his passengers and-not without plausible excuse-violently indicted MT Alan mans trustfulness This the said fire man (elimbing forward over the ten der) vigorously applauded
 They had been engaged both gentle men asserted vigorously, for nothing more dangerous than quick run across the prairies, in furtherance of the unspecihed plans of Mir Alan Law and his companion, Miss Judith Trine After starting out. they had wickedly and maliciously been bribed by the said Law to put on speed and catch UT with the special in order that he might rescue from the latter a young woman his brlde-to-be and the sister of Miss Trine.
 But-and here was the grievance they hadn't hargained to be shot al with pistols. And precisely that out rage had been put upon them during and subsequent to the moment of res cue.
 1t was unhappy Mir. Barcus who pre- cipitated the affair. This gentleman was suffering from a severe sprain tC his sense of decent pride. In the serv ice of Miss Rose Trine and her be trothed. Mir. Law, Barcus had black ened his face and hands to the hue ot ebony and had garmented himself ir the garb of Pullman porter, surren dering himself to humiliating service to those aboard the special, suffering their insolence and scorn without 8 murmur, but with the tides of wrath mounting ever higher in his bosom
 And now, when at length he had won his freedom from that ignomini ous servitude, it was only to be sworn al and vilihed. as a common nigger, by railroad hands!

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 7.-Workmen in
Iowa who are not insurable may re-
tain their jobs by formally rejecting the
workmen's compensation law, thus re-
tanning, as between themselves and
their employers, the status which eX-
listed prior to the passage of the new
law.
This may be done. and probably will
be done, in a large number of cases as
for instance. where a workman. other
wise sound, has lost an eye or an arm
or les and is in danger of losing the
other one. During the past few days Il
number of Des Moines employees have
been calling on the commission in al
most panic because of intmation by
their employers they will have to seek
other employment because of not be-
ing desirable risks for the companies.
The trouble is that the loss of sec
ond member creates a total disability.

great. Employers do not want to take
the risk If that is to be the interpreta-
ton of the law. They would prefer to
discharge the partially disabled en-
ployes.
Rule in Other States.
THE tendency in the states where
this law has been in force some time"
said Secretary Given, lis to regard the
loss of a second member as a total
disability and to treat the matter as if
both members were lost at once. But
that may not be the proper interpreta-
ton. II fact, I. may be argued that
the law never contemplated any such
situation, and. for instance, the loss of
an arm. where the other had been long
previously lost,1 might be regarded as
the same loss Of one arm where the
other remained. The rulings are not
Anal. But, II that is the rule, then a
simple way out is found by having the
employee reject the law"
do you understand the employee as
well as the employer has the right of
rejection of the law?"
"By inference,s at least, that is true:
and am of the opinion that an en-
ploye can save to himself all the rights
he previously possessed by filing a re-
lection Of the law. He must, Of course,

make It clear that this is entirely with
out coercion and IL voluntary on HIS
part. BY so doing It would seem that
he retains his rights as before the law
went into erect And the employees as
whole have more to gain by such re-
lection than they would have by in
sisting on the protection Of the law and
losing their places"
The problem which has come before
the commission in this way. largely by
reason of questions from different parts
Of the state, is one Of the most serious
yet to be presented. But the commits
sioner has made no ruling nor an
nounced any conclusion on the matter.
1t is a matter open for discussion and
