understanding had been entered into
by these two men, for almost imne-
diately Allen Barrows started to crawl:
Foot by foot he made his way until
he was directly beneath the only win

and listening anXiously. Hearing moth

Scott joined him and said, "Nobody's

is the only place know of where they
could successfully pull off their little
stunt, seeing they are not here. Come"
he concluded; "we'll have to hurry"
With the moon behind the clouds,
and no trail to follow, it was a hard
ride to Baldy peak. The sky had just
begun to take on the first signs Of the
gray dawn when the two men alighted
to once again make their way eau
tiously through the timber. So quietly
did they move that not even the snap
ping of a twig was heard. Suddenly
Allen felt his arm seized by a power
full grip. Scott had halted and was
sending a silent message with that big
right hand of his which grabbed Aliens
arm; the message spelled extreme
caution" Carefully they Wiggled their
way on the ground until they reached
a large boulder. Cautiously peering

SHORT. LINE RAIL PRESIDENTS' WOES TOLD AT HEARING
Auto Traffic. Making Heavy Inroads on Revenues of
 Small Railroads.

CHICAGO, Nov. I7.-The trials of railroad presidents who preside over the destines of the cOuntry's s short lines are coming to light in the hearings being given here to more than 100 short lines whose employees has petitioned the United States Railway Labor Board for in creased pay.
 One Texas road, built primarily to open up a route to some mineral deposit beds, has to date the cham pion hard luck tale, according to CIV. w. Hanger, member of the board. The president of the line explained- he owned Al miles of track between the two terminal cities. His fast passenger train cov- cred the distance in two hours.
 ' But between the two cities is a hard surfaced highway, and enter prising auto owners have opened a bus line. The highway, on a direct route, is little more than twenty miles long, compared to the rail- roads>41. The auto bus covers the distance in 40 minutes, one hour and twenty minutes faster than the train, and charges the same fare.
 <! Freight Outlook Bad.
 Y The freight outlook he described as equally bad A company operat- ing motor trucks with two trailers to the truck hauls freight over the highway faster than the road can by. train, delivers the goods at the merchants store door, and charges the same tariff as the railroad. And on: top of his other troubles it is now estimated that the mineral deposits which furnish the remain tng source of revenue will be ex- hausted within three years.
 The president of an Alabama of revenue is hauling ore to Birm- ingham furnaces appeared to defend his company against six employees, all station agents, who had request ed more money. Their present in come is $95 month.
 Agent Operates Store.
 The railroad president exhibited H p6TbUHdl kHOW ItuSc Ol lHc D of each of his employees. One of the station agents, he said, owned q county store a few rods from the railroad station and had run his telegraph wire into the store so he could handle his duties as dispatch CT and operator while waiting on customers. A second was described as the wife of a prosperous farmer. She had her telegraph line in the farm kitchen, the president said. Of the six operators only one was To- cated in town, and that was a village of 500 population. The presi- dent said his road paid no dividends end operated at loss of $10O,00O last year
 Hearing of the more than 100 short line cases, each of which is being taken up separately, is ex- pected to continue for several weeks Decisions in all cases will be hand cd down simultaneously.

CHAPTER v.

1t was ten days since the reward
for Fitzhugh's capture had been Of
fered and though detectives, city,
amateur, and private, as well as the
police, had kept hot an unremitting
search, not a trace Of the fugitive
could they find. "Clues," they had by
scores, but they led nowhere. This
tenth day fell on a Thursday in April
"a cold, dark day of incessant rain.
Nikolay invariably called upon Esther
every Friday, but on this particular
Thursday night, happening to be in
her neighborhood, he decided to take
advantage of the opportunity, and
drop in on her for pot of hot tea and
word of good cheer
He was about to pass under the
wooden staircase, and SO to her door,
when suddenly, just opposite the Win
dow he stopped still and stood as
though hewed from stone.
What he saw was this: In the cen
ter of the room, her back toward him,
stood Esther; arms held out, her head
back, she had the unmistakable pos
ture of a woman waiting only for the
One Man. The next instant very tall
man, young-loolzing despite the short,
untrimmed beard on his lean face,
stepped from some point outside Niko-
lays range of vision, and took her in
his arms and kissed her.
His plmpIy face I1viu with fury, yel-
low hair seeming to stand on end,
Nikolay burst into the room.
Fitzhugh sprang from his place and
vaulted the table, bringing it between
himself and the door. Get out,
Esther" he ordered quietly, rolling up
his shirtsleeves. 'Tm going to slaugh-
ter this beast"
She made no move to go, however,
but drew to one side, and with hands
pressed to her cheeks, watched ine
two gladiators with mipgled horror
and fascination. Nikolay had the ad-
vantage Of some forty pounds in
weight, but Fitzhugh was vastly his
superior in stamina, fstic skill and
quickness of eye and movement. To
win the fight he judged he had to do
but one thing: to keep free of the
others clutches. Once the big Rus
sian got those tremendous arms
around him the combat would be un-
equal.
Nikolay rushed upon his foe like an
infuriated bull, and Fitzhugh ducked
The Arizona copper camp., 1920-03-13

and sidestepped like a lean panther,
springing in quickly to deliver two
blows in rapid succession, the last of
which brought blood. In the next rush,
however, a sledge hammer seemed to
swing upon the point Of his chin, and
he spun dizzily backward, unable to
regain his balance, and fell heavily
against a fender But Nikolay was
not quick enough to follow up his adj
vantage, and when next he charged,
Fitzhugh had recovered, and was
dancing around him as before, his lip
drawn back from his cleaning teeth
in taunting smile.
The blood was streaming from a
dozen cuts on the Russians face, its
crimson blots in his eyes; and ever
that smiling, white-and-blac face
swan before him like a pirouetting
phantom.
knowing his endurance to be his
strongest, and the others weakest,
point, Fitzhugh desired chiefly to
wear his opponent down until such
time as he could rush in and finish
him.
Nikolay was fast becoming exhaust
ed Ten minutes of this mad pace was
more than he could stand. His breath
came shorter and shorter. At last he
stopped and allowed his arms to
dangle Imply at his sides.
For little While, coughing and spit
ting blood and catching his breath in
whecZy gasps, he stared drunkenly.
Then, sezing heavy water pitcher
from beside an overturned chair, he
hurled it, with a vile word. Fitzhugh
lodged the missile and leapt for his
foe. He put every atom of his vigor-
Gus young strength into the blow he
landed under Nikolay's jaw, and the
man went down like a dubbed OK.
The cOnQueror walked to a corner,
picked up his coat. and slung it over
his shoulder. He came back to Esther,
crouching against the wall like one
awakening from some horrible dream.
He smiled, but in the neutral light the
smile was CHASTITY.

The woman knew how to act. She
hesitated, smiled UP at him demurely;
then, breathing to herself the name Of
the man she loved she rose, and, with
her eyes closed tightly, held up her
lips to the man she despised.
Some while later Nikolay took his
departure.
