guarded eye on them, suspicious OF
some counter-move, Rhinelander and
Storm accompanied Lyons and Helen
into the station.
Seagrue's 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 it

was all that could be got out Of him.
And Seagrue. declaring he would an
load the ties anyway. left the office.
Once outside, he again spurred De-
laney to haste.
Storm followed Seagrue from the
office and once outside and away from
Helen he protested vigorously. Rhine
lander, behind him. told Storm TO keep
cool. At that moment Delaney, break
ing in, almost precipitated a riot. Get
out of this thing" he beloved at
Storm, "and keep out! Do you get
that? You're talking too much"
With the words, he pushed Storm
back. IL was the wrong moment to lay
hands on the stalwart young engine
man. now greatly wrought up. His
arm shot out and his fist caught De-
laney on the jaw. The big foreman
staggered
Seagrue, glad enough to find himself
outside the center Of the brawl walked
away only to encounter Spike as the
latter dashing in from the highway,
sprang from his horse and hurriedly
beckoned Seagrue to him.
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 a man
aggrieved showed the cards to Rhine
lander.
What do you say to this?" he de-
manded, in the confirmation of his
claims. Call OFF your men. They're
starting a riot here to keep me from

freight train. When the train drew
near, Spike handily boarded the head
end
Some moments later the hind-end
brakeman, sitting on the caboose, saw
a tramp in the door of a box car. TIE
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
me the two brakemen, one Of whom
had caught a 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 Seagrue's.
Having done what struck him as an
artistic Job on these, he replaced the
bills and climbing into the cupola
looked outside.
1t was then by good fortune that the
conductor and one of the two brake
men spotted him. To get back quick
they tagged the engineer-the train
was going at 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 well rid Of
nuisance, signaled their engineman
ahead
The train was running not far from
Beaman when Spike left it, and stink
ing into the woods adjoining the right
of way he made his way as fast as
he could up TO the Beaman telegraph

train opposite Rhinelander's camp, and
without losing a moment she ran over
to headquarters, where she gave the
alarm to Wood and asked him to hur-
ry the remainder of the construction
gang over to the train before the cars
should be stolen again by their active
enemies. Wood, who would rather
fight than eat, responded like a whirl-
wind, and heading his men, started
them across the fields on the run for
the kidnapped train.

Lyons, without comment, passed the
message to Rhinelander, who read it
and showed it triumphantly to Sea-
grue. Seagrue entered an emphatic
dissent. II don't care what those
boobs at Oceanside say" he snapped.
Those ties are for me and you'll find

Fast words followed Storm and De-
laney again eyed each other fiercely.
Then the sound of 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, man
of peace, listened unmoved to the vio-
lent contentious addressed to him. At
length he produced the waybills 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 COMPOUNDED.

whirled on Delaney. Get our ties off
