freight tram. When the train drew near, Spike handily boarded the head end.
 Some moments later the hind-end brakeman, sitting on the caboose, saw tramp in the door of a box car The brakeman started forward to investi- gate and had he been able to see all that occurred just a moment later, he would also have seen the tramp cling ing to the side of a car of ties remov- ing Rhinelander's name from the bill ing card and substituting therefor the name of Seagrue.
 One after another of the billing cards on the four cars of ties Spike manipu- lated in the same way. In the mean time the two brakemen, one of whom had caught glimpse of him, were consulting as to how to get him. But by the time they had made their plans and were ready for a forcible laying on of hands Spikes work was done. Watching the trainmen walk forward, he dropped lightly from the last car and waiting for the caboose, which was empty, swung up by the hand rail and went inside the car. He grabbed the waybills from the rack box and ex. amined them. Finding those for the cars of ties, he carefully erased Rhine. lander's name from each of them and taking his time inserted Seagrues Having done what struck him as aD artistic job on these, he replaced the bills and climbing into the cupola looked outside
 It was then by good fortune that the conductor and one of the two brake men spotted him. To get back quick they Jagged the engineer-the train was going at a pretty good clip-and started for the side. But this suited Spikes own game, for as the train slowed he dropped off and the crew, thinking themselves we'll rid of a nuisance, signaled their engineman ahead.
 The train was running not far from Beanan when Spike left it, and slink- ing into the woods adjoining the right of way he made his way as fast as he could up to the Beaman telegraph

Safebreakers employed by Seagrue and Capelle, his lawyer. inter rupted by Helen while stealing General Holmes survey plans of the cutoff line for the Tidewater. fatally wound General Holmes and escape. Storm and Helen chase the murderers on a light engine and capture them. Spike has hidden the plans and manages to inform Seagrue where they are cached.

body in the room. Or these. the op- position bosses for the unloading jobs, Delaney and Storm, became the most heated and seemed about to come to blows. But Rhinelander, checking Storms indignation, advised restraint and referred the whole thing to Helen, asking her to find the real fact out from the dispatcher. Helen sent a hurry-up message and the answer came from the dispatcher's office with in few minutes:
 "LocaI will set out four cars ties at Signal for RhineIander's construction gang. H. c. w."
 Lyons, without comment, passed the message to Rhinelander, who read it and showed it triumphantly to Sea grue. Seagrue entered an emphatic dissent. T don't care what those bocbs at Oceanside say" he snapped. Those ties are for me and you'll find out know what I'm talking about"
 Fast words followed Storm and De- laney again eyed each other fercely. Then the sound of a freight train pull ing in started everybody in the room out for the platform. The moment the train stopped the disputants crowded forward, each side eager to reach the | conductor first. The conductor, a man of peace, listened unmoyed to the yio- lent contentious addressed to him. At length he produced the waybflls for the property in dispute. Seagrue got hold of them first. To his delight he saw that, as expected, they read to him as consignee, and he showed them with an injured air to Lyons. Rhine lander, reading the doctored bills over Lyons shoulder, was confounded
 Seagrue meant to let nothing of his advantage slip for lack of action. He whirled on Delaney. Get our ties off those cars, Bill, and do it quick"
 Storm took a hand in. He felt his side was beaten, but would not quit Hold on" he said gruffiy. Not yet This thing is in dispute. Take your time, he added to Delaney, and a sig nificant look lent strength to his words. Again Rhinelander quieted Storm down. Delaney began giving orders to
The Carlisle independent., 1916-12-21

office, where he sent this message to Seagrue:
 Changed the two ties you thought Rhinelander wears for two that suit Seagrue.
 Say, where's the nearest livery sta. ble in this place, mister" Spike asked the agent.
 He hardly waited to hear the answer given him before he was on his way out of the office. And without losing minute he got a horse where he had been directed for one and rode hastily away on it.
 Helen, few moments later, took Spikes message to Seagrue. When she handed it to Lyons he said he would deliver it. Placing the dupli- cate on file, Helen resumed her cro- chet work.
 Passing the Tidewater camp, Lyons saw Rhinelander, Storm and Wood in conference over unloading the expect ed ties.
 You don't need me over at the sta tion,' said Wood to Rhinelander. I'll send Storm with the men to look after the unloading. I'll stay here with these lazy graders"
 Seagrue himself took the message from Lyons. He read it with secret satisfaction. The moment Lyons had left, Seagrue called Delaney, his fore man, told him to get the gang together to unload four cars of ties the instant the local freight pulled in.
 But in the interval the Tidewater camp leaders, Rhinelander and Storm, were not losing any time in looking after the shipment themselves, and they appeared together at the station to get track of it. Lyons, in response to Rhinelander's inquiries, said he did not know what the local freight was carrying.
 You find out, will you, Helen ?" asked Rhinelander. And as he made the request he showed her his letter advising him the ties would be on the local
 While Rhinelander, Storm, Helen and Lyons were thus engaged, Sea grue and his foreman, Delaney, en- tered the office. Seagrue seemed at his best, very affable and friendly with everybody and was soon asking Ques- tions as to what ties were coming for him that morning. Helen took his in- quiries and Rhinelander, overhearing, explained that the ties coming in on the local freight train that morning were for the Tidewater work, not for Seagrue. Seagrue declared him mis- taken. A dispute flared up, which in moment involved practically every

his men, and while Seagrue kept a guarded eye on them, suspicious of some counter-move, Rhinelander and Storm accompanied Lyons and Helen into the station.
 Seagrues men, crowding after their triumphant foreman, gave the laugh to the Tidewater gang, who stood with their hands in their pockets, and started after the ties.
 Inside the office a perplexed and disgruntled group gathered around Helen. She showed the dispatcher S message to the conductor. Seagrue not to be outfaced, came inside to watch the proceedings and demanded to know again of the puzzled conduc tor whether the ties were not plainly enough for him. In the face of the conflicting evidence the conductor did not know what to decide Fight il out yourselves, boys! I give it up, was all that could be got out of nim And Seagrue, declaring he would an load the ties anyway. left the office Once outside. he again spurrcd De laney to haste.

 The two conferred in quick under tones together and Rhinelander, who stood with Helen and Lyons, watching them, saw them run to the tie cars, re- move the billing cards and bring them back. Seagrue. with the air of man aggrieved, showed the cards to Rhine lander.
 What do you say to this?'' he de- handed, in the confirmation of his claims. Gall off your men. They're starting riot here to keep me from taking possession of my own prop erty."

FIFTH lNSTALLMENT
THE FIGHT AT SIGNAL STATION

The operator at Signal station could hardly have been more peacefully en- gagged than she was at the moment George Storm threw open the, office door and paused on the threshold.
 What are you doing over here this morning." demanded Helen.
 Looking for job"
 You might take mine," suggested Helen. lifting her eyebrows in pro fessiou of sympathy.
 Whereabouts is that man Rhine fander?" asked Storm lazily. Hasn't he got some kind of construction camp around this joint?"
 Why, how stupid of me not to have thought of Uncle Amos myself" ex- claimed Helen. "Of course he has. And he's sure to have job for you"
 He is sure," drawled Storm, "either to have job for me or the best chance he ever had in his life tosget ticked-I give him his choice"
 .'Kind Of you" retorted Helen; s'he wouldn't mind getting licked of course, but he is short of men-I hap  pen to know that"
 Maybe I'd better go over and give him chance to hire me"
 Suppose go with you"
 Helen and Storm found Rhinelander hard at work. It was the first time he had seen Storm since the night on the launch and he greeted his visitors with hearty laugh. Licked?'" He echoed, after Helen had repeated her companions threats. Why, George, soald whip my weight in wildcats this morning. I'll have steel half way up the pass if I can get hold of few cars of ties this week And something always happens when I feel this way. I'n tell you right now" he pointed a stubby finger at Storm, fits up to you,

Wood, who would rather fight than eat. responded like whirl- wind, and heading his men, started them across the fields on the run for the kidnapped train.
 Storm had, meantime. dropped a rope around Spikes neck. He tied him to the engine cab just as Helen. with her re-enforcements, reached

 My hands are up," said Storm. 'Ill go to work. What have you gct?"
 Rhinelander turned to his foreman. They took only minute to confer. Wood has job for you right now" announced Rhinelander to Storm. You are assistant foreman. Get busy" That particular day was to prove a busy ono for the whole camp.
