feeling our way up the gulch and keep
ing a sharp lookout for the AleXa as
we ground and squealed around the
curves.
It must have been four or five miles
back in the hills to the place where
we found the private car, pushed in
on an old mine-loading track at the
end Of the spur. The other members
of the crew were off and waiting for
us; and standing out on the back plat

pector.
The big man was "Uncle John"
Chadwick, and If he was properly
astonished at seeing us turn up with
his lost engine, he didn't let it inter-
fere with our welcome. Mr.. Chadwick
seemed to know Mrs. Sheila; at any
rate, he shook hands with her and
called her by name. Then he grabbed
for the boss and fairly shouted at
him: "Well, we'll, Graham of all the
lucky things this side of Mesopota-
mia! How the dev-how in thunder
did you manage to turn up here?" And
all that, you know.
The explanations, such as they were,
came later. As matter Of course,
the talk jumped first to the mysterious
hold.up and kidnapping and the reason
why. There had been no violence
the pistol shots had been merely
meant to scare the trainmen--and
there had been no attempt at robbery ;
for that matter. Mr.. Chadwick hadn't
even seen the kidnapers, and hadn't
known what was going on until after
it was all over.

minute.
1t was not until after the train was
switched and gone that we discovered
that two of the bandits had been left
behind. These two reset the switches
for the main track, leaving everything
as they had found it, and then
crossed over to the auto.
| was just thinking that all this
mystery and kidnapping and gun play
must be sort of hard on the young
woman and the girl, but, though my
half Of the allotment was shivering
a little and smuggling up just a grain
closer to me, she proved that she
hadn't lost her nerve.
Did you see the name on that car
when the engine went past to get in
behind it," she asked.
NO." said the boss; and l hadn't,
either.
II did," she asserted, showing that
her eyes, or her wits, were quicker
than ours. 81 had just one little
glimpse Of it. The name is 'A-l-e-x-a,"
spelling 1t out.
Mr.. NOrcross started as if he had
been shot.

him.! Then he whirled short on me-

a case of double suicide for US two tC
60 up against pair of armed thugs
with our bare hands. The young wo
man put in her word.
"You mustn't think of doing such q
thing" she protested; and she was
still telling him all the different rea'
sons why he mustn't, when we heard
the creak and grind of the stolen en-
CINE coming back down the old spur
After that there was nothing to dc
but to wait and see what was going
to happen next. What did happen was
as blind as all the rest. The engine
was stopped somewhere in the gulcf
back of US and out of sight from oll
hiding-place, and pretty soon the two
men who had gone with her came hur
rying across out Of the hill shadows
making straight for the auto. A min
ute or two later they had climbed
into the machine, the motor had sput
tered, and the car was gone.

CHAPTER II
Mr.. Chadwick's Special

Of course, as soon as the skip-out
of the four hold-up men, gave US a
free hand we knew 1t was up to us to
get busy and do something. It was a
safe bet that the Alexa was carrying
her owner, and in that case Mr.. John
Chadwick and his train crew were
somewhere back in the hills, without
an engine, and with a good prospect
Of staying "put" until somebody should

"We've got to find out what they've
done with Mr.. Chadwick" Mr.. Nor

They both paid me the compliment
of saying that they'd stay with me.
but the young woman suggested that
it might be just as we'll if we should

piked out in the dark, the boss help
ing Mrs. Sheila to hobo along over
the cross-ties of the spur, and the lit
tie girl stumbling on behind with me.
We had followed the spur track up
the gulch for maybe short quarter
of q mile when we came to the en-
CINE. As we had feared it might be,
the big machine was crippled. There
was a key gone out of one Of the con.
necting-rod crank-pin straps; one
miserable little piece Of steel, maybe
eight inches long and tapering one
way, and half an inch or so thick the
other; but that was a-plenty. We
couldn't make move without it.

with brood Of chickens and the
chickens confined to a small covered
pen, move this coop and pen every two
or three days to fresh grass and never
let the grass be killed or eaten down
where the run is placed. Provide fresh,
clean water daily and see that the re.
ceptacles are thoroughly cleaned and
the chickens never without water. The
water should be kept in the shade in
as cool place as possible. Using a
stone crock for watering fountains
will help to keep the water cool.
Where the chickens are confined to
yards or have free range, shade
should be provided. Trees and low
