tying the bell to the telephone wire
that connected with the main line

The engineman, busy with his work,

CHAPTER u.

S''EN' > = ~ '''
A fight among the directors-and q
bitter fight-had been indicated from
the moment the allotment of the stock
issue of the new Copper Range and
Tidewater cutoff line was discussed.
1t was not alone that the territory of
the proposed cutoff was rich in traf-
fic. The survey made by Holmes en-
gineers through a wild country, hith-
erto reputed inaccessible, had devel-
oped a low-grade pass through the SUI
perstition mountains that would put
the Tidewaters active rival-the Colo.
RADIO and Coast line-with its heavy
grades and curves, at a serious. if not
irretrievable, disadvantage in it's fight
for competitive traffic.
General Holmes, seated in the H.
brary Of his country home with his
associate, Amos Rhinelander, took
from his morning mail a letter from
John B. Rhodes, chairman of his execu-
tive committee, which revealed the ex-
tent of the feeling over the situation.

the right of way should be definitely
secured. He added that with his party
of the directors, he would arrive on
special at noon for the informal board
meeting at which means for financing
the project were to he arranged.
Through complication in financial
arrangements, Holmes had been
obliged to put on his own. the Tide

directors led by Rh!nelander's nephew,
6eagrue and Seagrue's attorney, Ca.
pelle-Seagrue was owner of sub.
stantial interest in the Colorado and
Coast line itself. Indeed his means
were all tied up in 1t. 1t was this COM
plication which caused uncasiness in
Holmes mind and called for prudence
not all those even OF his own direc-
torate could be trusted, In the circum-
stances, not to connive against his in
terest.
Seagrue had already been for the
weekend the house guest OF Holmes
He was at that moment seated in the
garden with He!en-Iolmes' daughter
and Helen was being alternately
amused and bored by the patiently
forced efforts OF the fastener to In

More than once during his stay she

Then came the second bombardment
at Rottweil, on April 16, 1915. Ten
four-inch shells were dropped on the
powder factory and caused a fire and
an intense black smoke which entirely
hid the building from view. Captain
X. remained for a quarter of an hour
above his object at an altitude of five
thousand feet, tantalizing the two YER
teal batteries which the Germans
were aiming at him and the section
of n millimeter guns which had been
placed around the factory for it's de-

The French officer returned to his
camp with eleven shrapnel fragments

he dropped six shells in the great shed
which harbored two Zeppelins, both
OF which were seriously damaged. The
three special batteries placed for the
protection of the sheds fired at him
constantly, but failed to injure him,
though they damaged his machine to
some extent.
A few months later he bombarded
