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 box car. The,
brakeman started forward to investi-.
gate and had he been able to see all
that occurred just moment later he
would also have seen the tramp cling
ing to the side of 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 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 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.
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 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 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

the tie cars and the men hurriedly
began the unloading.
They were not to have an easy time
of it. Seagrue, with his rioters, had
already climbed the hill and was urg-
ing them forward. Not soul on the
engine had weapon, and as Sea-
grue's men came on it looked as if
the train would be taken then and
there by force of numbers. Helen,
however, was not without reserves.
"Give them the live steam, George,
and lot of it, quick she cried.
Don't let them capture u.s.
Storm needed no more than the
hint. Turning on the valve he let
loose a hot cloud that drove Seagrue
and his gang gasping from the engine.

or take dressing down yourself

go to work What have you got?"
Rhinelander turned to his foreman.
They took only a 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 one for the whole camp. Helen
returned to the station and Storm went
out with Wood-himself a veteran en-
gineman. The mailman came in pres
emily with letter for Rhinelander, ad-
vising him that bid he had made for
