formed of several plates OF steel riv-
eted together. These webs were con-
nected across their upper and lower
edges by diagonal latticing made of
steel angle bars. C-1O-R and its parallel
companion member, C-1O-L, in the left
hand truss carried the entire weight
of the cantilever span to the shoe rest~
ing on the pier These members were
sixty feet long and five feet wide. The
webs were over four feet deep and in
size and responsibility the great struts
were the most important Of the whole
| structure.
To say that C-10-R was out Of line
| meant that it had buckled, or bent, or
was sprlnging, and had departed from
that rigid rectangularity and parallel
ism which was absolutely necessary to
maintain the stability and immobilitX
of the truss and the strength Of the
bridge. TO the theor1st nothing on
earth could be more terribly pors
tentous than such statement,
If it were true. To the pracr
teal man, who. to do him justice, had
never dealt with such vast Structures
and he was not singular in that be-
cause the bridge was unique on &C.
count Of it's size-the DETECTION noted
meant little or nothing.

prehension. The night was warm and

erect.
1T isn't enough to make any differ

haps little disdainfully.
1T makes oil the difference on
EARTH" cried Meade. 1T means tho
ruin Of the BRIDGE"
He reached for his jacket, hanging
at the foot Of the bed, and dragged it
on him.
Don't worry about it, youngster."
said Abbott rather contemptuously, al.
though no meant to be soothing. "Pm
going to jack it into line and-here,"
he cried as Meade bolted out Of the
door, you'd better not excite yourself
that way. Come back to bed, man.

ture out again and to attack his prob
lens they were personal problems
now, much more intimate than before,
for he was building not only the bridge
but weaving in it's web Of steel his own
future happiness.
OF course he had been able to. get
out on the rough porch Of his galvan-
lied iron shack where he had the
bridge In full view, and the day before
he had even walked unsteadily down to
the river bank, where he had been
equally surprised and delighted at the
progress that had been made. Abbott
was driver after his own heart. Real
ly things seemed to have gone on just
as well without him as If he had been
on the job. He had not been lonely In
his illness, for all Of the chief men con-
nected with the construction had done
their best to beguile the tedium of his

Abbott had been especially kind In
his somewhat rough-and-ready way.
The big construction superintendent
was fond Of Meade, although he I'M
dervalued him. He regarded him more
as theoretical than a practical man
and the inevitable antagonism between
the theorist and the practical man,
when they are not combined in one per-
sonality, was latent in Abbott's heart.
Nightly, he brought to Meade details
Of the progress Of the work. That eve
ming, Just before leaving; he remarked
in the most casual manner in the world,
as If It were a matter Of little or no i'm
portance, that C-10-R was trifle out

CHAPTER II-continued.

In spite Of herself the woman looked
at him.
"But now?" she whispered as he hes
itated, and then she turned her head
half fearful Of his answer.
II am almost afraid to say It," he
said, lowering his voice to match her
own.
"A soldier Of STEEL" she said, "and
afraid!''
swell, then, all that was the second
now takes the third place."
"And before your father comes?'
But she did not give him time to an
swer. "Come," she said, 'let us go out
on the bridge"
"Its rough place for you. Those
little slippers you wear"
He looked down, and as if in obedi-
ence to his glance she outthrust her
foot from her gown. 1t was not the
SIN allest foot that ever upbore wom-
an. Quite the contrary. Which is not
saying it was too large, not at all. 1t
was just right for her height and fig
ure, and it's shape and shoe left moth
ing to be desired.
''Never mind the slippers" she said;
"they are stronger than they look.
They'll serve"
'But the distance between here and
the bridge is inches deep in dust"
'Dust!" she exclaimed in dismay.
II don't mind rough walking, but
dust"
'I never thought of that" admitted
the man. ''The fact is have thought
Of nothing but you since saw you,
but now We'll have to go back Or"
e shall not 60 back" she answered
firmly.
He stepped down off the platform,
and before she knew what he would be
at, he lifted her straight up in his
arms. He did not carry her like a
baby, he held her erect, crushed
against his breast, and before she had
time to utter protest, or even to say
a word, he started through the dusty
roadway toward the bridgehead.
It was strange position. She knew
she ought to protest, but the words
would not come. Whilst she was try
ing to think them up, they had crossed
the little desert that interviewed be-
tween the portal Of the bridge and the
end of the platform. Then he set her
down gently.
"Thank you," she said simply, shat
was very nice of you. You are Won
derfully strong"
The moon, by this time, had passed
the floor level al the cross-bracing
cast a network Of shadows over them
upon track and floor beams and string
ers. The silence of the half-light, the
mystery Of it all oppressed them a
little. It was with beating hearts that
they pressed on.
