heated and seemed about to come to

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

message to Rhinelander, who read it
and showed it triumphantly to Sea-

dissent. Il don't care what those

Those ties are for me and you'll find

Fast words followed. Storm and De-
laney again eyed each other fieroely.
Then the sound OF a freight train pull
ing in started everybody in the room
out for the platform. The m the
train stopped the disputants crowded
forward, each side eager to reach the
conductor first. The conductor, a 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 c%onsignee, and he showed them
with an injured air to Lyons. RHINE
lander, reading the doctored bills over
Lyons shoulder, was COMPOUNDED.
Seagrue meant TO let nothing OF his
advantage slip for lack of action. He
whirled on Delaney. Get our ties off

Storm took a hand in. He felt his
side was beaten. but would not quit.
Hold on" he said grufny. 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 quoted Storm

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 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 q
nuisance, signaled their engineman
ahead.

guarded eye on them, suspicious Of
some counter-mOve, Rhinelander and
Storm accompanied Lyons and Helen
into the station.
S%eagrue's men, crowding after their
triumphant foreman, gave the laugh
to the Edewater 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 we're not plainly
enough for him. In the face of the
conflicting evidence the conductor did
not know what to decide. Fight it
out yourselves. boys! l give it up
was all that could be got out Of him.
And Seagrue, declaring he would un-
load the ties anyway, left the office.
Once outside, he again spurred De-
laney to haste.
Storm followed Seagrue from the

Storm, and keep out. Do you get
that? You're talking too much"
With the words, he pushed Storm
back. 1t was the wrong moment to lay
hands en- 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,

FIFTH INSTALLMENT
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 a job"
You might take mine" suggested
Helen, lifting her eyebrows in a pro-
fession OF sympathy.
whereabouts is that man Rhine
lander?" asked storm lazily. Hasn't
he got some kind OF a 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 hsYe a job for YOU"
"He is suro." drs sled Storm. "either

Seagrue:

the agent.
He hardly waited to hear the answer
given him before he was on his way
out Of the office. And without losing
a minute he got a horse where he
had been directed for n and rode
hastily away on it.
Helen, a 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 Gro
Chef work.
Passing the Tidewater camp, Lyons
saw Rhinelander, Storm and Wood in
conference ove unloading the expect
| ed ties.
You don't need me over at the sta
tion." said Wood to ~Rhinelander. "Ill
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 Tidewatel

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would you
run to stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? It is much the same way
with cough. A cough is a danger sig
nal as much as fire bell. You should
no more try to suppress it than to stop
fire bell when it is ringing, but
should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Reeching, Andrews, Ind, writes ::
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take
any other" Obtainable everywhere.
