CHAPTER vi.

Every mothers son of the feudists
was numbered in the party that filed
across David Moreland's mountain to
intercept the next south-bound train.
The old ehmity was for the time being
forgotten. Members of one clan
rubbed elbows with members of the
other clan. and thought nothing of it,
John Moreland himself carried one
end of the crude litter that held the
limp form of Babe Littleford; Bill
Dale carried the other end.
Close behind the litter walked Babes
father, seeming old and broken with
remorse for the thing he had done.
The grief of Ben Littleford was touch
ing now, and Dale was a little sorry
that he had spoken so bitterly to him.
They reached the Halfway switch
ten minutes before the arrival of the
fast mail. A short passenger train
was on the long siding, waiting for the
south bound to pass. Dale gave his
end of the litter to Caleb Moreland,
and strode up to the locomotive. The
, engineer sat quietly smoking IN his
cab.
Dale wanted the fast mail stopped,
and gave his reasons.
The engineer smoked and consid-
cred. 1t was against rules. Dale
swore at rules. The engineer said he
would see the conductor. He did. and
the conductor stepped to the ground
and began to consider.
Better put her on my train," he
said finally, land take her to Barton's
station. There's a good doctor at Bar

But this is a case for a surgeon ="
impatiently interrupted Bill Dale.
They disagreed. The old trainman
was a close friend of the doctor at
Barton's station. What was the diff
ference between a doctor and sur
geon, anyway?
/ Dale became angry.
You'll stop the fast mail for u.s.
he snapped, "or We'll take your id

to put the girl aboard. and you've got

The conductor was obdurate. The
mountain men were too hot-headed to
bear with him longer. The positions
of dozen rifles underwent a sudden
change. The conductor immediately
went pale and mentioned the law
