away from Angels?"
Not now; not at all unless
your safety demands it," Then he
rose and spoke to the others, I'm
sorry to have to shut off your
moon vista with that noisy beast,
but 1t may be necessary to move
the car, later on. Don't get out
OF touch with the Nadia, any of
you, please"
He had vaulted the hand rail
and said good night.
At the top of the corridor stair
McCloskey was waiting for him.
"Judson has told you what's
due to happen?" queried the
trainmaster.
'He told me to look for swift
trouble; that somebody had be-
trayed your strike breaking
scheme"
"He says they'll try to keep the
east-bound freights from going
out"
THAT would be q small matter.
But we mustn't lose the moral ef-
feet of taking the first trick in the
game. Are the sections all in line
on the long siding?"
Eyes"
Good. Well start them little
ahead OF time, and let them kill
back to schedule after they get
out on the road"
"Call 1t DONE" said the train
master. and he went to carry out
the order.
In ten minutes the three heavy
freight-pullers Missed, strained,
belched fire, and the long train
began to move out.
1t was Lidgerwood's challenge
to the outlaws, and as II the
blasts of the three tearing ex-
hausts had been the signal 1t was
| awaiting, the strike storm broke
with the suddenness and fury of a
tropical hurricane. From a hun
dred hiding places In the car
strewn yard men came running,
some to swarm thickly upon the
moving engines and cabooses,
others swinging by the drawbacks
W cut Luc dh0 hOoCs
Shots we're fired; shrill yells
arose. Into the midst of the clam
or the great siren whistle at the
shops doomed out the fire alarm,
and almost at the same instant a
red glow rose to beacon the de-
struction already begun In the
shop yards. And while the roar
of the siren was. still Earring upon
the MINDLESS night air, the electric
light circuits were cut out, leav-
| ing the yards and the Crows Nest
in darkness.
In the Crows Nest the sudden
coup of the strikers had the effect
which it's originator had doubtless
counted upon. 1t was some min
utes after the lights were cut off,
and the Eruption had swept past
the captured and disabled trains
to the shops, before Lidgerwood
could get his small garrison to-
gether and send 1t to reinforce the
shop guard, which was presuma-
bly, fighting desperately for the
control of the power plant and the
fire pumps.
Only McCloskey's protest and
his own anxiety for the safety OF
the Nadia's company kept Lidger-
wood from leading the little relief
column of loyal trainmen and
headquarters clerks in person.
The lust of battle was in his blood
and for the first time the shrink
ing palsy of physical fear held
aloof.

CONTINUED From Yesterday

The early dawn OF the summer
morning was grazing over the des-
ert when the special drew into the
Angels yard. Lidgerwood had the
yard crew place the service car
on the same siding with the Nadia,
and near enough SO that his
guests, upon rising, could pass
across the platforms.
That done, he climbed the stair
in the Crows Nest, meaning to
snatch q little sleep. But Nc
Closkey, the dour-faced, was wait
ing for him In the upper corridor
with news that would not wait.
1.-THE trouble-makers have sent
us their ultimatum at last" he
said gruffly. I'VE cancel the new
Book of Rules and reinstate al
the men who have been discharg-
ed, or a strike will be declared and
every whser on the line will stop

He tried to show her that the
presence of the private-car party
was a menace. alike to it's own
members and to him. The run to
Copah could be made On a special
schedule and the party might be
we'll outside of the danger zone
before the armistice expired.
Would she not defer to his judy
ment and let him send the Nadia
back to safety while there was yet
time?
But the presidents wife would
not listen for moment to an ex-
pedient which did not-could not
include the president himself.
The superintendent. feeling ar
gument useless, kept on his way
to his office. Scarcely had he
closed the door upon his entrance
into his own room when it was
opened again with McCloskey's
hand on the latch.
They've got Dix hid away up
town somewhere" he said. But
there was a message, all right,
and with your name signed. It
was in code, your private code. I
got Orion, a little while ago, on
the Copah wire and pumped him.
He says there was q code message
and that Dix sent it. But when
asked him to repeat it back
here, he said he couldn't-that
Mr.. Leckhard had taken it with
him somewhere down the main
line"
"Since there Is only one man
besides myself in Angels who
knows the private office code, I'd
like to know what that message
said," declared Lidgerwood.
McCloskey nodded. "You mean
Hallock?"

Lidgerwood had turned to his
desk and was opening 1t.

quietly. II have sworn out a war

CHAPTER XII.
| The Terror.
Judson was late in reporting.
But when he finally climbed the
stair of the Crows Nest to tap at
Lidgerwood's door, he brought
the first authentic news from the
camp Of the enemy, though he
hadn't yet found Hallock.
When McCloskny had come at
a push of the call-button, Lidger-
wood snapped the night-latch on
the corridor door.

About s o'clock that evening
Lidgerwood strolled over to the
Nadia. Under the umbrella roof
of the Nadias rear platform the
young people of the party were
sitting out the early half Of the
perfect summer night. There was
an unoccupied camp-chair, and
Miss Brewster pointed it out to
the superintendent.
Lidgerwood swung himself over
the railing, and took the proffered
chair.

us to look with more appreciative eyes
than usual on the new offerings in
frocks, suits, and hats. But, leaving
aside these flattering elements, there
is really more of beauty and smartness
in this seasons styles than we have
had for many year.
Ostrich Trimming on Frocks
Fur is still the smart trimming for
all garments, and it promises to re-
main in favor well into the spring.
There is already hint here and there,
however, that designers and manufac-
turers are tentatively reaching out for
an attractive successor. In one of the
smart shops the other morning, a
most attractive afternoon dress was
displayed; it was made in Russian
effect, was very simple and sparingly
ornamented, the only trimming, in
fact, being bands of ostrich in the same
shade Of blue as the dress, edging the
high, standing collar, the cuffs and the
lower edge of the blouse peplum. The
effect was pleasing and perfectly ap.
propriate for the warmer weather.
Trimmings for Spring Hats.
Whether ostrich as trimming for
hats will be favored to any great de-
gree. is still question; that it will be
used considerably, as in the past sea-
son or two, for fancies. odd little
stick-ups, balls, rosettes, and similar
effects, on the chic small hats which
are being introduced as first models
for spring, has already been confirm
ed. Many handmade hats are being
shown this season. The new braids
are mostly shiny; glace effects will
predominant, although one sees some
effective unfinished hemps and tag
ais. A new glace braid from Paris re-
sembles nothing so much as the scales
of a fish, and it is appropriately
named "fish-scale' straw. Some flow
ers will be used on the new hats, and
quantities of ribbon. The new colors
in millinery are generally speaking,
black, which is quite as strong as
ever, geranium-pink, absinthe, polish
ed-gold, mint-green, and baby chick;
the last a charmingly suggestive title.
Among the attractive millinery no
lions being displayed in the shops, and
worn at the southern resorts, are sets
consisting of hat, handbag and COL
larette, and fashioned of faille, or the
new soft luster satins. One of the
most attractive of these is developed
in the new Callot color, soft shade Of
pinkish lavender. The hat is very
simple, a medium sailor turned up
sharply on the left side, having no
contrasting trimming; the bag is of the
same soft luster satin as the hat, and
the collarette, also of silk. is corded
about an inch apart, and finished
with long ribbon ends for tying. These
sets are being made UP in many colors
and are unusually effective as finish
ing touch on an afternoon frock of silk,
or one of the sheer cottons.
Fashions in Handbags.
Now that so much attention is being
given to details, and in consequence
we are all presenting better groom
ed appearance than ever before, the
handbag is being shown considerable
attention. Once upon time 1t was
considered for it's useful qualities
alone. Now it lends an added touch
of color or richness to tailored suits
and afternoon frock, and its appropri.
ateness for both must be considered.
