CHAPTER n
Mir. Chadwick's Special

Of course, as soon as the skip-out of the four hold-up men gave us a free hand we knew it was up to us to get busy and do something. It was safe bet that the Alexa was carrying her owner, and in that case Mir. 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 go and hunt them up. <
 We've got to find out what they've done with Mir. Chadwick" Mir. Nor cross broke out. And then: Tt can't be very far to where they have left the engine. and if they haven't crip- pied it." He stopped short and slung

a question at the two women: will you two stay here with Jimmie while go and see what I can find in that gulch?'
 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 all go up the gulch together. So we pked 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 mp the gulch for maybe il short quarter of mile when we came to the en- zine As we had feared il might be, the big machine was crippled There was a key gone out of one of the con- necting-rod crank-pin straps; one mis rable little piece of steel, maybe eight inches long and tapering one way, and half an inch or SD thick the other; but that was a-plenty. We couldn't make move without 1t.
 I thought we were done for, but MT. N0rcross chased me up into the cab for lantern With the light we be- gan to hunt around in the short grass. had been sensible enough tO show the little girl the other connecting-rod key. so she knew exactly what to look for, and it did me heap ot good when il turned out that she was the one who found the lost bt of steel.
 I've got it--Ive got ti" she cried; and sure enough she had. The hold-up 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 it so near at hand. or, looking, would be able to find il in the dark.
 It didn't take more than a minute or two. with wrench from the en- gineer's box, to put the key back in place. Then, with one to boost and the other to pull, we got our two l passengers up into the high cnh. l threw q few shoVel-fuls of coal into the freheX 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 a sharp lookout for the Alexa as we ground and squealed around the curves

 The explanations, such as they were, came later. As a 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. Mir. Chadwick hadn't even seen the kidnapers, and had>e known what was going on until after it was all over.

We trailed off together up the track, two and two, the boss walking with the young woman. After we'd counted a few of the cross-ties, the girl said: "Is your name Jimmie Dodds| And when admitted it: Mine Is Maisie Ann. I'm Sheila's cousin on her moth CTS side. think this is great lark don't you?'

When the young woman finally got him started the boss told her all about himself, how he'd been railroading ever since he left college and a lot of things that I'd never even dreamed of.

 You may smoke II you want to- she told the boss. "I Shant mind it In the least.
 The boss lighted his cigar Then there was more talk, in which il turned out that the young woman and her cousin were to have been met at Portal City by somebody she called Cousin Basil" but there wouldn't be any scare, because she had written ahead to say that possibly they might stop over with some friends in one of the apple towns
 Then Mir. NorcroSs said he wouldn't miss anything by the drop-out but an appointment he had with an old friend, and he guessed that could wait l listened. thinking maybe he would mention the name of the friend, and after q while he did. The forwarded Portal City telegram the boss had got ten just before we went to dinner in the dining-car was from Uncle John Chadwick. the Chicago wheat king, and that left me wondering what the mischief Mir. Chadwick was doing away out in the wild and woolly west ern country where they raise more apples than they do wheat. and more mining stock schemes than they do either
 We had been marooned for nearly an hour when I struck match and looked at my watch. Mir, Norcross was doing his best to kill time for the young woman. and he was just in the exciting part of railroad story, telling about rtght-of-way fight on the Mid land, when the little girl grabbed my arm and said "Listeni"
 I did, and broke in promptly. "Ex- cuse me" I called to the other two. but l think there's a train coming"
 The boss cut his story short and we all listened. It seemed that was wrong. The noise we heard was more like an auto running with the cut-out open than a train rumbling.
 What do you make it. Jimmie?" came from the boss end of the tim Der.

 My guess was right. In less than a minute we saw the lights of the car. It stopped little way below the water tank and about hundred yards north of the track, or maybe less. and four men came tumbling out of it. If I had been alone on the job l should probably have called to the men as

Another merry time is in prepara- ton for a class Of novices who will be introduced to the mysteries of Elkdom tonight, according to an an nouncement by that lodge. Thirty were initiated a week ago, and the list of successful applicants has grown SO large that it has been necessary 10 secure permission of the grand lodge to hold weekly in stead of semi-monthly meetings to put on the initiatory work.
 According to one estimate there are enough candidate Elks on hand to keep the degree team busy for at least another month and the applica- tions do not cease to come in.

BISJACK ROAD
 QUARREL ENDED

Anton Bisjack's road difficulty is settled. No more trouble will be ex- perienced over this bit of ground over which, according to the records of two courts, blood was like to be shed and much bitterness and bad language was allowed to flow.
 By action of the board of super visors yesterday, the county will ac- quire title to the right of way, will supply the materials for fencing the Bisjack land along the new road and will take care of the highway to the satisfaction of the residents of the Prescott Farms project, IS miles north of the city.
 Bisjack and his counsel A. L. Hammond, appeared before the board yesterday and discussed the roadway, where, according to their story, cit izens had been passing without a by-your-leave until things got warm under the Bisjack collar and cul- minated in an alleged display of fire arms. It was pointed out that two misdemeanor and one felony case had been the outcome of the matter and that Anton had been put to a great deal of unnecessary expense and worry. The county needed right of way but could not secure it on the plea that there had been an easement established by public use through a period of time. As a mat ter of fact, it was pointed out, the title to the ground lay with Uncle Sam until Bisjack perfected his pat ent to it two years ago and the right of easement through public use does not apply government ground.
 Hence sacrificing about three acres of land, Bisjack gives the county a 60-foot right of way, it is properly fenced and the usual quiet of the Prescott Farms area is restored.

HIGHWAY WORK
 BY THE COUNTY
 IN EMERGENCY

That the county will see that the Senator road does not wash quite away as a result of the withdrawal oi the patrol by the state, was the encouraging indication oi a confer ence of the special committee of the chamber Of commerce and the board of supervisors yesterday. The com mittee had been named by the com merciai organization as result of the bringing up of the subject of the road at a recent meeting. At that time 1t was pointed out that if the state has no funds to main tain the road at this period there was danger of the road becoming washed and its excellent qualities inn paired.
 The board of supervisors will en- gage to carry on the necessary sur facing work for a time, in the hope that when times are easier for the state highway department it can be reimbursed.
 All over the state il has been found necessary to curtail the main tenance work as well as stop con struction owing to the depleted con- dition of the highway funds. Yava- 'pai county has suffered as well as the other counties.
 One result of yesterdays meeting of the supervisors was the dispelling of the rumor that the county roads are in bad shape, however. Chair man Midgley, backed up by Super yisors Jones and Stukey. issued a statement in strongest terms that Yavapai countys roads, with the ex- ception of the Black Canyon, where work has been halted in the hope that the highway commission might soon be able to take it over, are in the finest general condition in their history.
 There need be no complaint over the roads," Midgley said. T can tell you that the roads are in the best shape I ever knew them. All except the Black Canyon We have been holding off that road and putting the work elsewhere.
 But it is a fact that the board never gets credit for these things unless they are made known. This county has been lucky this winter The storms have not been hard enough to hurt the roads. The only effect has been to keep them in good shape for the road crews"
 A conference was also held con corning the road between the city and Whipple Barracks. The post hac spent some money having the roac between the near gate of the reser
 vation and Mt. Vernon street cinder ed This makes a good surface.
 It was recently announced that tht city hoped to make some improve ments on the streets leading to th' }, barracks; iii fact Mayor Goldwate , suggested the worl, in his annua
