CHAPTER XII
The Helpless Wires

When Bobby Kelso shot his news at
us we all made quick break for
the dispatcher's office, the boss in the
lead. Durgin, the night dispatcher,
had been alone on the train desk, and
the only other operators on duty were
the car-record man and the young fell
low who acted as relief on the COM
mercial 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 Grow Gulch, the
one intermediate wire station between
the two trains that had failed to get
their "meet" orders, and this was the
first 1 knew that he really was the
expert telegraph operator that his
payroll description said he was.
Durgin looked like a tortured ghost.
He was thin, dark man with 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 q 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 If he had the palsy.
Morris, the relief man, gave us the
particulars, such as they were, speak
ing in a hushed voice as If he was
afraid of breaking in on TarbelPS
steady rafting of the key in the Grow
Gulch station call.
Number Four"-Four was the east
bound "Flyer"-''is five hours off her
time" he explained. "As near as
can get it, 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 meet to make
somewhere with Five"
Brief as Morris explanation was,
it was clear enough for anybody who
knew the road and the schedules. The
regular meeting-point for the two pas
senger trains was at 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 at Portal
City. From Banta to Bauxite juno
ton, some thirty-odd miles, there was
only one telegraph station, namely,
that at 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, Grow Gulch was only
day station, the day wires being han
died by young man who was half
in the pay of the railroad and half
in that of the saw-mill company. This
young man slept at the mill camp,

them-from me, IL you want to-that
there isn't any bad luck about IL;
that 0be. enemies Of this management

we're trying our best to make q spoon

to knock us out Of the box.
"If you give the force something
tangible to lay hold Of, 1t win work
the needed miracle. 1t Is only the
mysterious that terrines. Railroad EN-
ployes, as a whole, are perfectly In
telllgent human beings, open to con-
vlction. The management which doesn't
profit by that fact is lame. II you do
this and appeal to the loyalty Of the
men, you will make a private detec-
tive out Of every man in the train
service, and every one of them keen
TO be the first to catch the wreckers.
You can add a bit of reward for
that, If you like, and I'll pay 1t out
Of my own bank account"
For a full minute our captive mil
lionaire didn't say word. Then he
grinned like a good-natured little
Chinese god.
'WhO gave you this idea of taking
the payroll into your confidence, Gra'
ham?" he asked softly.
For the first time in all the weeks
and months I'd been knowing bin. the
boss lodged; lodged just like any OF
us might.
'Pve been talking to Major Ken
drick," he said. "He is q wise old
man, Upton, and he hears good manJ

newspapers"

fool Mr.. Van Britt for a single In
slant, and there was look in hie

1t was Kelso, Mr.. Van Britt's steR
ographer, smashed in with the inter
ruption. He was in his shirt-sleeves
as if he'd just got up from his type
writer, and he rushed in with his
mouth open and his eyes like saucers

the words out at Mr.. Van Britt. "Dur
