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 one and rode
hastily away on 1t.
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 owe unloading the expect
ed ties.
you don't need M 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

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 2"
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 CUES
tons 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 fiared up, which in a
moment involved practically every

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 Ia Rhine
lander?" asked Storm lazily. Hasn't
he got some kind of a construction
camp around this j~oint?"
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 a job for you"
He is sure" drawled Storm, "either
to have a job for me or the best
chance he ever had in his life to get
licked-I give him his choice"
Kind of you," retorted Helen; "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 a chance to hire me-"
Suppose / go with you"
Helen and Storm found Rhinelander
hard at work. 1t was the first time he
had seen Storm since the night on
the launch and he greeted his visitors
with a hearty laugh. "LickedT" He
echoed, after Helen had repeated her
companions threats. why, George, l

The knowledge of the existence of
the Devil Baby burst upon the resi-
