They're doing 1t so that they can get
out an injunction. or whatever you
call 1t, and then we'll have to buy them

Smith was by this time entirely ia.
miliar with the maps and proflles and
other records of the ditch company'a
lands and holdings.
"All the land within the limits Of the
flood level has been bought and paid
for-some of it more than once hasn't
it?" he asked.
"Oh, yes; but that doesn't make any
difference. These men will claim that
their location was made long ago, and
that they are just now getting ready
to work 1t. It's often done In the case
Of mining claims"
'When is all this going to happenI"
he inquired.

out impatiently. "Mr. Martin said

bridge to go up on the other side OF

The young woman had taken heI
place again behind the big tiller wheel
and Smith calmly motioned her out
of 1t.
''Take the other seat and let me gel
in here" he said; and when she had
changed over. he swung in behind the
wheel and put a foot on the clutch
pedal.
"What are you going to do2" she
asked.
I'm going to take you on up to the
camp, and then. If you'll lend me this
car, I'll go and do what you hoped to
persuade Williams TO do--run these
mining-claim Jokers into the tall tim

"But you can't :" she protested; "you
can't do 1t alone! And, besides. they
are on the other side of the river, and
you can't get anywhere with the car
You'll have to go all the way back to

A Notice to Quit.

Once started and given its push. the
gray roadster drifted backward from
the railroad crossing and kept on until

Smith found that the young woman
was still trying Intellectually to free
herself. In releasing the clutch her
dress had been caught, and Smith was
glad enough TO let the extricating Of
the caught skirt and the cranking Of
the engine serve for a breath-catching
recovery.
When he stepped back to "tune" the
spark the young woman had subsidized
into the mechanician's seat and was
relying her veil with fingers that were
not any too steady. She was small
but well-knit: her hair was a golden
brown and there was a good deal Of
1t; her eyes were set well apart, and
in the bright morning sunlight they
were a slaty gray-Of the exact shade
Of the motor veil she was rearranging.
Smith had a sudden conviction that he
had seen the wide-set eyes before also
the straight little nose and the half
boyish mouth and chin. though where
he had seen them the conviction could
give no present hint.

'Tm not Williams assistant; at least,
the pay roll doesn't say so. Up at the
camp they call me the Hobo.'"
The young woman had appo~ently
regained whatever small fracten of
self-possession the narrow escape had
shocked aside.
"Are they never going to take that
miserable train out of the .way?" she
exclaimed. "Tve got to see Mr.. Will

has gone up to Red Butte, and a little
while ago they telephoned over to the
ranch from the Brewster Office to say

ognized 1t at once. 1t was Colonel Dex.
ter Baldwin's roadster, and 1t held q
single occupant-namely, the young
woman who was driving It.
Turning TO look up the track, he saw
that the three loaded cars had been
set out, and the forward section Of the
train was now backing to make the
coupling with the standing half. He
hoped that the trainmen had seen the
automobile, and that they would not
attempt to make the coupling until
after the gray car had crossed behind
the caboose. But in the same breath
be guessed, and guessed rightly, that
they were too far around the curve to
be able to see the wagon-road ap-
proach.
Smith saw the young woman check
the speed for the abrupt turn at the
bottom Of the hill, saw the car take the
turn in q skidding slide, heard the re-
newed roar Of the motor as the throttle
was opened for q run at the eTbank-
ment grade. Then the unexpected
dropped its bomb. There was Jan
Cling clash and the cars on the main
track were set in motion. The train
men had failed to make their coupling,
and the rear half of the train was surg
ing down upon the crossing.
Smiths shout, or the sight of the on
coming train. one of the two, or both,
put the finishing touch on the young
woman's nerve. There was still time
in which TO clear the train, but at the
critical instant the young woman APP
parently changed her mind and tried
TO stop the big car short of the cross
ing. The effort was unsuccessful.
When the stop was made, the front
wheels of the roadster were precisely
in the middle of the main track, and
the motor was killed.
BY this time Smith had thrown his
coat away and was racing the backing
train, with the ex-grade-laborer poor
second a dozen yards to the rear. Hav-
ing ridden in the roadster, Smith knew
that it had no self-starter. Jump"

then his heart came into his mouth
when he saw that she was struggling
to free herself and couldn't; that she
was entangled in some way behind the
low-hung tiller wheel
Smith was running fairly abreast of
the cabOose when he made this discov-
cry, and the hundred feet of clearance
had shrunk TO fifty. In Imagination
he could already see the gray car over
turned and crushed under the wheels
Of the train. In q flying squirt he
gained a few yards on the advancing
menace and hurled himself against
the front of the stopped roadster. He
did not attempt to crank the motor.
There was time only for a mighty
heave and shove to send the car back
ing down the slope of the crossing
approach; for this and for the quick
spring aside to save himself; and the
thing was done.
