to Bauxite Junction by the pusher en-
overtake the "Flyer." But ever in
that cast it might be an agonizing
hour or more before we could hear
anything.
In n little while Disbrow had clicked
in his call to Kirgan, and when the
undertaker's wagon came to gather up
what was left of the dead dispatcher,
the car-record man was hurriedly writ
ing off his list of doctors, and Mr..
Van Britt had gone down to super
intend the making up of the relief
train. True to his theory, which,
among other things, laid down the
broad principle that the public had a
right 10 be given all the facts in a
railroad disaster, Mr.. Norcross was
just telling. me to call up the Noun
taineer Office, when Tarbell, calmly
linking time reports upon the train
sheet, flung down his pen and snatched
at his key to "break" the chatterlng
sounder.
Mr.. Van Britt had come upstairs
again. and he and the boss were both
standing over Tarbell when the "G-S"
break cleared the wire. Instantly there
came a quick call, "G-S" "G-S" fol-
lowed by the signature, "B-J" for
Bauxite Junction. Tarbell answered,
and then we all heard what Bauxite
had to say:
"Pusher overlook Number Four three
miles west of Sand Creek and has
brought her back here. What orders
for herr"
Somebody groaned. "Oh, thank God |"
and Mr.. Van Britt dropped into a
chair as II he had been hit by a can
non bali. Only the boss kept his head,
calling out sharply to Disbrow 10 break
Off on the doctors list and to hurry
and stop Kirgan from getting away
with the w%recking train.
When 1t was all over, and Tarbell
had been given charge of the dis
patching while a hurry call was sent
out for the night relief man, Donohue,
to come down and take the train desk,
there was a little committee meeting
In the general managers office, with
the boss in the chair, and Mr.. Van
Britt sitting In for the other member.
"0f course, you've drawn your own
conclusions, Upton" the boss began,
when he had asked me to shut the
door.
81 guess So" was the grave re-
joinder. I'm afraid II is only too
plain that Durgin was hired TO do II.
What became of the money!
81 have II here" said the boss. and
he took the blood-money bank-roll
from his pocket and removed the rub
Der band. "Count 1t, Jimmie" he or
dered. passing 1t TO me.
I ran through the bunch. It was
In twenties and fifties, and there was
an even thousand dollars.
"That is the price OF n mans life"
said SIR. Van Britt, soberly, and then
Mr.. Horcross sad, "Who knows any

to look, the mischief was done. Dur
gin had crumpled down into a mis-
shapen heap on the floor and the sight
we saw was enough TO make your
blood run cold.
You see, he had put the muzzle OF
the pistol into his mouth, and-but it's
no use: / can't tell about II, and the
very thought of that thing that had
just n minute before been a man, "
ing there on the floor makes me see
black and want to keel over. What
he had said about sending for an extra
undertaken was right as right. With
the top of his head blown off, the
poor devil didn't need anything more
In this world except the burying.
Somebody has said, mighty truth
fully, that even a death In the family
doesn't stop the common routine; that
go grinding on, just the same, whether
all of Us live. or some of us die. Dis
brow had jumped from the telephone
Mt the crash of Durgin's shot, and for
Just a second or so we all stood around
the dead dispatcher, nobody making a
move
Then Mr.. Norcross came alive with
n Jerk, telling Disbrow to get back on
his job of calling out the wreck wagons
and the relief train, and directing
Bobby Kelso to 60 to another phone
and call an undertaken to come and
get Durgln's body. Tarbell turned
back to the train desk to keep things
from getting into a worse tangle than
they already were in, and to wait for
the dreadful news, and the boss stood
by him.
This second walt promised to be the
worst Of all. The collision was due
to happen miles from the nearest wire
station; the news, when we should
get 1t, would probably be carried back

one, they sald--glanced up and nodded:
'The calls In" he responded: "'Cen-
trail says she can't raise anybody"
For the next three or four minutes
the tension was something fierce. The
boss and Mr.. Van Britt hung over the
train desk. and Tarbell kept up his
insistent clatter at the key. I had an
eye on Durgin. He was still hunched
up In the record-man's chair, and to
all appearances had one stone-bllnd
crazy. Yet / couldn't get rid of the
Idea that he was MISUNDERSTANDING

the car-record man and the young fell
low who acted as a relief on the com
merclal wire. When we got there,
we found that Tarbell had happened
to be in the Office when Durgin blew
up. He was sitting In at the train
key, trying to get Crow Gulch, the
one intermediate wire station between
the two trains that had failed to get
their meet orders, and this was the
first I knew that he really was the
expert telegraph operator that his
payroll description said he was.
Durgin looked like n tortured ghost.
He was a thin, dark man with a sort
of scattering beard and limp black
hair; one of the clearest-headed> dis
patchers In the bunch, and the very
last man, you'd say. to get ratified In
a tangle-up. Yet here he was, hunched
In a chair at the car-record table IN
the corner. a staring-eyed, pallid-
faced wreck, with the sweat standing
In big drops on his forehead and his
hands shaking as II he had the palsy.
Morris, the relief man, gave us the
particulars such as they were, speak
ing In a hushed voice as II he was
afraid Of breaking In on Tarbel's
steady rattllng of the key In the Grow
Gulch station call.
Number Four"-Four was the east
bound "Flyer"-"is five hours off her
tlme," he explained. "As neal as /
can get 1t. Durgin was going to make
her meet with Number Five at the
blind siding at Sand Greek tank. She
ought to have had her orders some
where west of Bauxite Junction, and
Five ought to have got hers at Banta.
Durgin says he simply forgot that
the Flyer was running late: that she
was still out and had n meet to make
somewhere with Five"
Brief as Morris explanation was,
1t was clear enough for anybody who
knew the road and the schedules. The
regular meeting-point for the two pas
senger trains was at q point well east
OF Portal City, instead Of west, and
so. of course, would not concern the
Desert Division crew of either train,
since all crews were changed ut Portal
City. From Banta to Bauxite juno
tion, some thirty-odd miles, there was
only one telegraph station, namely,
that Mt the Crow Gulch lumber camp,
seven miles beyond the Timber Noun
tain "Y" and the gravel pit where the
stolen 1016 had been abandoned.
Unluckily, Crow Gulch was only a
day station, the day wires being han
died by n young man who was half
In the pay of the railroad and half
in that OF the saw-mill company. This
young man slept Mt the mill camp,
which vas a mile back in the gulch.
There was only one chance In a thou
sand that he would be down at the
railroad station at ten o'clock at
night, and II was on that thousandth
chance that Tarhell was rafting the
Grow Gulch call. If Five were max
Ing her card time, she was now about
halfway between Timber Mountain
Y and Crow Gulch. And Four, the
Flyer" had just left Bauxite-with
no orders whatever. Which meant that
the two trains would come together
somewhere near Sand Creek.
Mr.. Van Britt was as good a wire
man as anybody on the line, but 1t
was the boss who took things in hand.
There is n long-distance telephone
to the Grow Gulch saw-mlll have you
tried thnt?' he barked at Tarbell.
The big young fellow who looked
like n cow-boy-and had really been
