getting away from them. The train crew tumbled forward, for a confer ence, to the cab. The conductor. com pairing watches with the engineer, looked serious-within ten minutes they would be running on No. 20s time; they might even meet her at the bottom or the hill before they reached Signal.
 The conductor acted quickly Pick ing up lump of coal he scratched a message on a white signal flag and wrapped it around a wrench. Cedar Grove station was hardly mile ahead. As the engine dashed past it, the con ductor, in the gangway. hurled the message through the office window. Picking it up and hastily reading the rough scraw1, the startled operator wired the tidings instantly to the next station. That station was Signal.
 In the bouncing engine cab there were grave faces. What are you go- ing to do?" shouted the engineer. Without hesitation the conductor dried; Cut of the caboose and stop it-A-let the train go," The engineer agreed: We've only got one life apiece. No time to lose George." he yelled to his fireman, make for the caboose"
 The fireman, perhaps the youngest man in the two crews, without answer ing. continued to hunt for a wrench. Wake up, George" shouted the con ductor. "come onl"
 Searching the tool box, the fireman shook his head. What do you mean?" demanded the' engineer, catching in excitement at his companions arm, aren't you coming?'
 The fireman did not hurry his an- swer. No. I'll stay here," he said, turning simply. He was a stubborn, well-set fellow. really a big, clean looking boy-with a heavy head of dark hair pushed under his grimy cap and a slow, clear eye matching his deliberate way of speaking.
 Stay here," thundered the conduc- tor in surprise. Are you crazy?" He caught the fireman's otfer arm and with the engineer talked to the obstinate fellow. The two, who liked him, pulled the boy toward the tender. He shook loose, The brakeman joined

 The train had attained a frightful pace. Already glimpses of it's long, cuVing roll on the distant hill might De seen from the window of Signal station, where the disturbed operator had taken the message of the runaway from Cedar Grove and was reading it to Helen Holmes, breathless beside his table:
 AIR BRAKES BROKEN DOWN. RUNNING AWAY. SIDETRACK NO. 20. NO. 145."
 It was the import of the last sen tence which for an instant froZe her senses. Her father. The passenger train facing that runaway on the sin gle track below Signal. More than once she had heard her father declare that the stretch between Signal and the next station, Beaman, must be doubIe-tracked -c cnly. money was so hard to get. If the lack of. it should now cost him his life, the lives of per haps half a hundred others!
 While she was thinking, the opera tor was working furiously at his key with a message for Beaman station. His one hope of avoiding the head-on collision was to catch the passenger train beyond Beaman.
 STOP NO. 20. RUNAWAY ON MAIN LINE"
 He told Helen, closely watching the dots and dashes, what he had sent. T should have an answer in minute"
 It came almost at once. Signal sta ton operator first tried to write it, then threw down his pen and repeated it's words unsteadily to the frightened girl.
 "No. 20 LEFT ON TIME. BE TWEEN HERE AND THE RIVER"
 With wide-open eyes she looked in tently toward the mountains. At the moment, the rolling hills now hid the runaway, but the situation was chart ing itself, like lightning, in her mind. Between where she stood and where the passenger train was coming, the line crossed San Pablo river, a navi- gable tidewater stream and a water way that fed a considerable traffic to the railroad. . Her father had put across the San Pablo a huge jack knife drawbridge-'h best an hon est engineer and an honest railroad directorate could build. Just over tho river from Signal station he had al- ready put in, as a start towards dou- ble-tracking, a long passing track.

like a film through her head. Helen was dashing out of the office when the scream of a whistle signal bore down on her ears. Confused as she was, it meant nothing to her. A chance, a hope, had flashed across her mind and her resolve had been taken-to reach the passing track switch and side track the fatal runaway before it should strike and scatter to destruc- tion the helpless passenger train.
 Rocket, without a thought other than of alfalfa and undisturbed repose in his dropping head, stood at hand in the sunshine. To his amazement his mistress running to him, headlong, vaulted upon his back. In her fear, she cried to him. The horse heard-it seemed as if he understood. He woke. quivering, at the impact of her body. Whirling with his charge, at the touch of the rein, so quick he almost bolted from under his mistress, who was try ing to seat herself, the brute galloped with Helen down the main track for the river bridge.
 She panted at great drafts of sun- ny mountain air as Rockets wiry legs stretched and bounded under her. With every stride her mind cleared. With this, her courage mounted. It was, after all, no more thaa smart dash for her to attain for everyone safety. The bridge was a difficulty. but Rocket, who could thread a lava bed without bruising a fetlock, or cross a prairie-dog town at full speed and hold his mistress as steady as if she were sitting a rocking horse, was not likely to balk at galloping over mere ties-besides. she would give him his time. At the worst, any bridge. she said to herself, must be reached before it can be crossed. and her eyes were already fixed hard on the one she must cross, when she thought she saw the great jack-knife span ahead moving mysteriously on its balanced bed. Urging her horse to his best, centering all of her facul- ties on mastering the ticklish task ahead, Helen's eyes set in a stare on the jack-knife. to determine whether it was moving or tricking her strain ing senses. In almost an instant her doubt was resolved; to her consterna-

 tion she saw the huge knife draw moving unmistakably upward. Her eyes sought the bridge tower-the bridge tender was standing at the open window. Her glance swept the stretch of river; then she remem- bered, then she understood, then she knew, ala river tug was bearing rapidly downstream; she could see the pilot and the captain in the wheel house; the bridge was lifting for the boats passage. She had heard it's loud whistle at the moment she rushed from the station.
 The baked girl drove her little spurs into Rocket. The horse sprung, infuriated, to greater effort. If she could make the draw in time she would jump it-a slight rise-noth- ing should keep her back. She wildly waved her free hand at the bridge tender He was watching the boat and the span was slowly rising; but a few strides closer and she would have risked making the jack-knife-she realized now she was too late.
 Without swerving for an instant from her purpose; without shrinking from her single alternative. and only praying for time still to make good her endeavor, Helen headed Rocket straight for the open draw. His feet struck the pier. She gave the horse his head. The wiry beast saw what yawned ahead. He heard his mis- tress' quick word. As his feet touched the brink of the abutment the horse co;led like a spring, and for an in- stant quivered.' His mistress with a sharp cry of command rose il her stirrups: then launching himself and his burden, like an arrow far out, the hunter sprang with Helen cleanly into the river. There was a great splash and the parted water closed over their heads.
 A pilot, captain and bridgetender stood as men dazed, looking on. The river captain, yelling the crew to quar- ters, hurried forward to throw out lines as soon as the tug should come within reach of the imperiled girl. The bridgetender, in the window, glued to the scene, watched the cir cling bubbles where horse and rider had plunged down, waiting for them to- reappear. For an interminable in- stant the onlookers waited. It seemed as if the two would never come up. Then a girlish head of soaked curls rose among the nipples, a young face emerged from the troubled pool, and Helen, throwing herself free from Rocket. shook the water from her eyes and nose with a swimmers quick certain pun and struck out for shore. Rocket was not far away. With few powerful strokes his mistress caught his mane and recovered him The tide, running heavily 6sarough the channel. carried the two together be- low the pier on the opposite Uank. But Rocket. scram5ling Sd d moment from the water. bore his charge un- hurt up the steep bank. and under her urging ran up the track to the tower.

Re strained by convention, sbe was still adventurous in spirit and her fathers one anxiety, old soldier though he was was that spirited horse or an ocean undeTtow would some day be his daughters undoing At that, he was forced to admit, the reckless girl could get more out of a horse than he himself could.
 Closest among her fathers friends, was Amos Rhinelander, a New York man of large means, and General Holmes, returning on Helen's eight eenth birthday with Rhinelander and Rhinelander's nephew-Robert Sea grue, himself a young and ambitious railroad prcmoter-from a trip of in spection of the tidewater terminals of Holmes road. was eagerly awaited by his daughter at their country home among the San Pablo foothills. A message sent up to her from Signal, the suburban station of the country seat, had asked her to meet her father that day on No. 20, the through eastern passenger train.
 The motor car had gone ahead and Helens taking Rocket, one of her fa- vorite hunting horses, rode down at her leisure to the station.
 While far from being a spoiled child, Helen felt very much at home any where on the Copper Range and Tide water railroad. Reared at home, un- der discipline almost military, and under teachers held sternly to account for her education by her only living parent. the growing girl had still pre- served an innate simplicity-som thing almost naive-which was re- fected in her friendship for the em- ployees, high and low, of the entire Tidewater line. of which her father was president and in which he owned substantial interest.

The air pump, after baking all morning, had quit. and the conductor going forward found the engineer, after repeated ef- forts with the big machine, helpless.
