 And he did. He waited not for a confirmation from his new master but proceeded to direct operations like the born driver and leader of men that he was. With his late employ er's gear he fastened TO the old cast ings and the boiler, lifted them with the derrick on the wrecking car, and swung them up and around onto the fiat cars. By the middle of the after noon the crossing was once more clear. Then the Cardigan crew fell upon it while Jules Rondeau ran the train back to the Laguna Grande yards, dis missed his crew, returned to the mill office, and released the manager.
 You'll pay through the nose for this, you scoundrel," Sexton whim- pered 'Tll fix you, you traitor"
 You feex nothing. Msieur Sexton," Rondeau replied impcrturbably. "Who is witness Jules Rondeau tie you up? Somebody see you, no? I guess you don feex me. Sacre! I guess you don try"

CHAPTER XVIII.

Colonel Pennington'S discovery at San Francisco that Bryce Cardigan had stolen his thunder and turned the bolt upon him, was the hardest blow Seth Pennington could remember hav- ing received throughout hIs thirty-odd years of give and take. He was too old and experienced a campaigner, however, to permit futile rage to cloud his reason; he prided himself upon being q foeman worthy of any mans steel.
 On Tuesday he returned to Sequoia. Sexton related to him in detail the events which had transpired since his departure, but elicited nothing more than a n0nc0mmittal grunt
 "Fhere is one more matter, sir, which will doubtless be of interest to YOU" Sexton continued apologetically. Miss Sumner called me on the telephone yesterday and instructed me formally to notify the board of directors of the Laguna Grande company of special meeting of the board, to be held here at two o'clock this afternoon In view of the impossibility of communicating with you while you were en route, I conformed to her wishes. Our bylaws, as you know, stipulate that no meet ing of the board shall be called with out formal written notice to each di- rector mailed twenty-four hours previ- ously"
 What the devil do you mean, Sex ton, by conforming to her wishes? Miss Sumner is not director of this company" Pennington's voice was harsh and trembled apprehensively
 Miss Sumner controls forty per cent of the Laguna Grande stock, sir I took that into consideration"
 You lieF' Pennington all but screamed. "You took into considera- tion yoGr job as secretary and general manager Damnation p
 He rose and commenced pacing up and down his office Suddenly he paused. Sexton still stood beside his desk, watching him respectfully. You fool" he snarled. Get out of here and leave me alone."
 Sexton departed promptly, glancing at his watch as he did so. It lacked five minutes of two. He passed Shir- ley Sumner in the general office.
 Shirley" Pennington began in hoarse voice as she entered his office, what is the meaning of this direct ors' meeting you have requested?"
 'Be seated, Uncle Seth" the girl answered quietly. ''If you will only be quiet and reasonable, perhaps we can dispense with this directors meeting which appears to frighten you so''
 He sat down promptly, look of re- lief on his face.
 'I scarcely know how to begin, Uncle Seth" Shirley commenced sadly. Tt

est but forebore to interfere in this high-handed closing of a public thor opghfare.
 To Sexton's annoyance and secret apprehension, Bryce Cardigan and Buck Ogilvy promptly appeared on the scene, both very cheerful and lavish with expert advice as to the best method of expediting the job in hand. To Bryce's surprise Jules Rondeau ap- peared to take secret enjoyment of this good-natured chaffing of the La guna Grande manager Occasionally he eyed Bryce curiously but without animus, and presently he flashed the latter lightning wink, as if to say: What a fool Sexton is to oppose you!"
 sWell, Rondeau,' Bryce haned the woods-boss cheerfully, T see you have quite recovered from that working over I gave you some time ago. No hard feelings. trust. I shouldn't care to have that Job to do over again. You're a tough one"

Events followed each other with re- freshing rapidity While the crew of the big locomotive on the crossing busted themselves getting up steam, Sexton and Jules Rondeau toiled at the loading of the discarded boiler and heavy castings aboard two flat cars

 At eleven o'clock Saturday night the deputy United States marshal arrived in Sequoia.
