But now Mr.. Eorcross had some
thing to say for himself, sitting up
straight and shaking his head sort of
sorrowfully at the big man in the
padded chair.

people had merely taken it out and
thrown it aside on the extremely prob
able chance, that nobody would be
foolish enough to look for 1t 80 near
at hand. or, looking, would be able to
find it in the dark.
It didn't take more than a minute
or two, with a wrench from the en-
glneer's box, to put the key back in
place. Then, with one to boost and
the other to pull, we got our two
passengers up into the high cab. I
threw few shOvel-fuls of coal into
the tirebox and put the blower on;
and when we were all set. the boss
opened the throttle and we went care
fully nosing ahead over the old track,
feeling our way up the gulch and keep
ing sharp lookout for the Alexa as
we ground and squealed around the
curves.
1t 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
form, In the full glare of the head
light as we nosed up for coupling,
there was a big, gray:haired man.
bareheaded and dressed in rough-look-
ing old clothes like a mining pros.
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: swell. well. 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 tar 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.
Mr.. NOrcross told what we had seen,
and how we had come to be where we
were able to see 1t, but that didn't
help out much either. From any point
Of view 1t seemed perfectly foolish,
and the boss made mention of that.
If we hadn't happened to be there to
bring the engine back. the worst that
could have befallen Mr.. Chadwick and
the crew of the special would have
been a few hours bother and delay.
In the course Of time the conductor
would have walked out and got to q
wire station somewhere, though It
might have taken him all night, and
then some, to get another engine.
Naturally, Mr.. Chadwick was red
hot about it. on general prlnciples. I
guess hs wasn't used to being kid
mapped.
II can't help thinking that It is GEN.
nected with what is due to happen
tomorrow morning, Graham" he said.
