Of the bowl or through its cracks peer
ed other and smaller ice bodies. The
lake at its bottom was filed by as
strange navy as ever sailed the sea,
for the ships were bergs, and they fol
lowed each other in senseless, cease
less maneuvers. lowed by the currents
which swept through from the cata-
ract at its upper end. They formed
long battle lines, they assembled into
fotillas, they filed about the circum-
ference of devils whirlpool at the
foot of the rapids, gyrating, bobbing,
bowling until crowded out by the pres
sure of their rivals. Some of them
were grounded. like hulks defeated in
| previous encounters, and along the
guardian bar which imprisoned them
at the outlet of the lake others were
! huddled, mass of slowly dissolving
wreckage.
O'Neil was helped into camp, and
when his boot had been cut away he
sent news of his arrival to Dan, who
came like an eager bridegroom.
Appleton found his employer with
one foot in a tub of hot water and his
lap full of blueprints. O'Neil explained
briefly the condition of affairs down
the river.
Il want some one to make that cross
ing" he said.
"A volunteer" asked Dan, with
quickened pulses.
Yes"
will do?"
81 sent for you TO give you the first
chance. you've been chatting so at your
idleness. We must have steel laid to
this point before snow flies. Every
hour counts. l darent risk Mellen or
Mckay, for they might be disabled. I
intended to take charge myself, but
won't be able to walk now for some
time" He swore a little, and Dan nod
ded sympathetically. Il wouldn't send
anybody where I'd refuse to go my
self. You understand"
"Of course
IF either Mckay Or Mellen We're
hurt I couldn't build the bridge, and
the bridge must be built"
IF Gordon stands pat somebody may
be-hurt'
Il don't look for anything worse than
few broken heads. but, of course, I
can't tell. III stand behind you with
my last dollar no matter what hap
pens"
Dan laughed. "As I understand the
situation, you won't have a dollar un-
less we make the crossing"
Right" O'Neil smiled cheerfully.
'The life of the S. R. and n depends
upon it. I'd give $4,000 for your right
ankle"
You can have 1t for nothing, chief.
I'd amputate the whole leg and present
It to you" Dan declared earnestly.
Murray took his hand in a hearty
grip. Perhaps I'll be able to serve
you some time he said simply. ANY

soon as 1 can travel to watch the fight

CHAPTER XII
A Place of Many Wonders.

~URTIS GORDON'S men broke
A camp upon his return from
~ Omar. and by taking the east
bank Of the Salmon river press
ed through to the upper valley. Here
they recrossed TO the west side and
completed their survey, with the ex-
ception OF TIE three mile gap which
Dan Appleton held.
Gordon continued to smart under the
sting of his defeat. however. O'Neil
had got the better of him in argument,
and Natalie's simplicity had proved
more than a match for his powers of
persuasion. At no time had he serious
" considered making Mrs. Gerard his
wife. but he had thought to entice the
two women back under his own roof in
order 10 humble both them and their
self appointed protector. He felt sure
that NataIies return TO Hope and her
residence there would injure her Sc
riousIy in the eyes of the community,
and this would be stab TO O'Neil. Al
though he had failed for the moment
ne 0l0 not DAMON lUe Iued-
Gordon's business career had con-
sisted of a series Of brilliant manipu-
lations whereby, with little to go upon,
he had forced financial recognition for
himself No one knew better than he
the unstable foundation beneath his
Alaskan enterprises, yet more than
once be had turned as desperate ven
lures into the semblanCe of success.
BY his present operations he sought
not only to hamper O'Neil, but TO Gre
ate an appearance OF opposition to
both him and the trust that could be
coined into dollars and cents. There
are in the commercial world money
wolves who prey upon the weak and
depend upon the spirit Of compromise
in their adversaries. Gordon was one
of these.
By purchasing for a song the McDer-
mott rights at Kyak he had placed
himself in position TO share in the
benefits OF the Heidlemann breakwa-
ter. and by rapidly pushing his tracks
ahead he made his rivalry seem for
midable AS a means Of attack upon
O'Neil he adopted a procedure common
in railroad building. He amended his
original survey so that it crossed that
of the S. R. and \. midway between
the lower bridge over the Salmon river
and the glaciers and at that point be
gan the hasty erection of grade.
1t was at the cost of no little incon
venience that he rushed forward a
large bod- Of men and supplies and
began TO lay track across the S. r. anG

hold a hillside, he reasoned, he himselj
could hold a crossing. if not perma

time to serve his purpose. His actor

THE IRON TRAIL
1918, BY Harper & Brothers

She was greatly excited when OMEN
announced one evening:
I'm ready to make that trip to the
front if you are. | have business at
Kyak. so after we've seen the glaciers
we will go down there. and you can
take in the coal fields"
I'm ready to leave at moments
notice
Then perhaps you'd better help
Natalie"
Natalie" exclaimed Eliza. seeing all
her well laid plans tottering. rs she
going
oh. yes. Its an opportunity she
shouldn't miss. and thought it would
be pleasanter for you if she went with
us"
O'Neil had puzzled her greatly OF
late. for at times he seemed wrapped
IN in Natalie. and at other times he
actually showed preference for ELIAS
own company. He was so Impartial IN
his attentions that at one moment the
Girl would waver in her determination
and in the next would believe herself
succeeding beyond her hope. The game
confused her emotions curiously. She
accused herself of being OVERLOAD, and
then she noted with horror that she
was growing as sensitive to his appar-
ent GOODNESS as if she were really in
earnest. She had not supposed that
the mere acting of a sentimental role
could so obSess her.
To counterfeit this tendency she as
sumed a very professional air when
they set out on the following morning
She was once more Eliza Appleton, the
reporter. and O'Neil in recognition Of
this fact explained rapidly the difficult
ties of construction which he had met
and overcome As she began to under
stand there came to her fuller appre-
citation Of the man and the work he
was doing. Natalie, however, could
not seem to grasp the significance OF
the enterprise. She saw nothing be-
yond the even gravel roadbed, the I'M
interesting trcstles and bridges and
cuts and fills. the like of which she had
seen many times before. and her COM
ment was childlike. O'Neil, however
/ appeared to find her naivete charming
/ and Eliza reflected bitterly:
IF my nose was perfectly chiseled
/ and nv eyebrows nice he wouldn't care
! if my brain was the size of a rabbits
Here am I. talking like human being
and really understanding him, while
| she sits like a Greek goddess, wonder
ing if her hat is on straight. If ever
find a girl uglier than I am III lnakt
her my bosom friend" She jabbed NJ
pencil viciously at her notebook.
The engine finally stopped. 1t was l.
the midst of q tent village beside whicl
flowed one Of the smaller branches o
the Salmon. In the distance the grad
stretched out across the level swamp
like a thin. lately healed scar, an
along its crest gravel trains were slow
ly creeping. An army of men like
row of ants were toiling upon it, an
still farther away shone the whit
sides of another encampment.
oh, That's Gordons track" Eliz
cried quickly. why, you're nearly u
to him. How do you intend to &c
across?"
O'Neil nodded at the long thin line Q
moiling men in the distance.
There's a loose handle in each on
Of those picks" he said.
Somebody will be killed in tina
, kind of a racket"
, That rests with Gordon. I'm goin
through"
Suppose he had said that whe
