CHAPTER "
"t1eads Off. eentIsmsnIn


Gosh all Friday-say but the next
few days did see a tear-up to beat the
band on the old Short Line! With
the printing Of his appointment cir
cular, Mr.. Norcross took the offices
in the headquarters building lately
vacated by Mr. Shaffer, and it was
something awful to see the way the
heads went into the basket. One by
one he called the Duntonites in; the
traffic manager, the general superin-
tendent, the roadmaster, the master
mechanic-clear on down to the round
house foreman and the division heads.
Some few Of them were allowed to
take the oath Of allegiance and stay,
but the place-fillers and payroll para
sites, the cousins and the nephews
and the brothers-in-law, every last
man of them had to walk under the ak.
Three days later, when the whole
town was talking about the new "Jack
the Ripper" as they called him, Klrgan,
who had been our head machinery
man on the Midland construction,
tumbled in In answer to a wire. Mr..
Norcross slammed him into place ten
minutes after he hit the town.
"Your Office is across the tracks,
Kirgan," he told him. "Tve begun the
housekeeping over there by firing
your predecessor and three or four of
his pet foremen. Get in the hole and
dig to the bottom. I'll give you six
months in which to make good as a
model superintendent Of motive power.
Get busy"
'That's me-" said Kirgan, who knew
the boss up one side and down the
other. "You give me the engines, and

Of Mrs. sheila and Maisie Ann makes
me remember that I've been leaving
them out pretty severely for a good
long while. They weren't left out in
reality-not By a joyful. In spite Of
all the rush and hustle, the boss had
found time to get acquainted with
Major Basil Kendriek and had been
made at home in the transplaHted
Kentucky mansion In the northern sub
urb.
But to get back on the firing line.
/ wasn't around when Mr.. Norcross
had his declaration Of war" talk with
Hatch. Mr., NOrcross, being pretty
sure he wasn't going to have that
evening off, had sent me out to ken
wood" with note and a box of roses,
and when got back to the office about
eight o'clock, Hatch was just going
away. / met him on the stair.
The boss was sitting back in his
big swing chair smoking, when ]
broke In. He looked as If he'd been
mixing 1t up good and plenty with Mr..
Rufus Hatch-and enjoying 1t.
we've got 'em going, Jimmie" he
chuckled; and he said it without ask
ing me how had found Mrs. Sheila,
or how she was looking, or anything.
/ told him had met Mr.. Hatch on
the stair going down.
"He didn't say anything to you, lid
he?" he asked.
"Not a word"
II had to pull that Sand Creek bust
ness on hin, and I'm rather sorry"
he went on. HE and his people are
going to fight the new company to a
finish, and he merely came up here to
tell me so-and to add that / might

I'll keep 'em out of the shop" And
with that he went across the yard and
took hold, before he had even hunted
up place to sleep in.
Mr.. Van Britt, our general super
intendent, was the next man to show
up. He was fine; a square-built,
stocky little gentleman who looked as
if he'd always had the world by the
ear and never meant to let go.
''WelI, I'm here" he said. dropping
into a chair and sitting with his legs
wide apart. And then, ignoring me as
if / hadn't been there. Graham whGt
the devil have You got against me,
that you should drag me out here on
the edge of nowhere and make me go
to work for a llving?"
The boss just grinned at him and
said: Its for the good of your soul
Upton. You've too much money. Your
Office is up at the end of the corridor

as we'll resign first as last, because,
in the end, he'd get my goat. When
laughed at him he got abusive. He's
an ugly beggar, Jimmie"
That's what everybody says Of
him."
ITS true. He and his crowd have
plenty of money-stolen money, a
good deal Of it-and they stand in
with every political boss and gangster
in the state. There is only one way to
handle such a man, and that is with
out gloves. l told him we had the
goods on him in the matter Of Mr..
Chadwick's kidnapping adventure. AT
first he said l couldn't prove 1t. Then
he broke out cursing and let your
name slip. I hadn't mentioned you at
ALL and so he gave himself away. He
knows who you are, and he remem-
bered that you had overheard his talk
with Henckel in the hotel lobby"
heard what he was saying, but !
didn't really sense it because my head
was ram jam full Of thing that was
so pitiful that it had kept me swal-
lowing hard all the way back from
Major Hendricks. It was this way.
When l had jiggled the bell out at the
house 1t was Maisie Ann who let me
in and took the box of flowers and the
boss note. We sat in the dimly lighted
hall and talked for few minutes.
One thing she told me was that Mrs.
Sheila had company and the name Of
1t was Mr.. Van Britt. That wasn't
strictly news because / had known
that Mr.. Van Britt was dividing time
pretty evenly with the boss in the
Major Kendrick house visits. That
wasn't anything to be scared up about.
But my chunky little girl didn't stop
at that.
II think we can let Mr.. Van Britt
take care of himself" she said. HE
has known Cousin Sheila for a long
time, and | guess they are only just
good friends. But there is something
you ought to know, Jimmie-for Mr..
Norcross' sake. He has been sending
lots of flowers and things, and Cousin
Sheila has been taking them because
well, l guess IFS just because she
doesn't know how not to take them"
go on" l said, but my mouth had
suddenly grown dry.
"Such things-fiowers you know
don't mean anything in New York,
where we've been living. Men send
them to their women friends just as
they pass their cigar-cases around
among their men friends. But I'm
afraid it's different with Mr.. Nor,
cross"
1T is different" l said.
Then she told me the thing that
made me swell up and want to burst.
ut mustn't be different, Jimmie,
Cousin Sheila's married, you know"
II know she has been married."
corrected; and then she gave me the
sure-enough Knockout.
"She is married now, and her hus-
band is still living"
For little while / couldn't do any
thing but cape Ike AZ chicken with
the pip. 1t was simply fierce! l knew,
as well as l knew anything, that the
boss was gone on Mrs. Sheila: that

That the arctic lands of northern

unusual opportunities for growing
sheep, cattle, Siberian alfalfa and even

NEW TARIFF
 BILL BY COP, NEW MEASURE WILL DOUBLE PAYNE-ALDRlcH REVENUE
 YIELD.
TO INCREASE REVENUES
k7oo,00o,0o0 TARIFF EXPECTED FROM REPUBLICAN ADMIN
 IsTRATIoN BILL.
tWsstern Newspaper Union News se7ies.1

Washington, June 3O.-The admins tratiOn's permanent tariff bill has been introduced in the House of Rep, resentatives and has been made public,
 No explanatory statements accom- panied the introduction of the meas ure as heretofore has been customary and no official estimate was made of the revenue it is expected to return.
 Unofficial estimates by members of the ways and means committee, how ever, placed the expected return as high as $7OO,OOO,OOO a year. The Payne-Aldrich law in the normal pre- war years produced little more than k3OO,OO0,OOO.
 An estimate of how the whole bill compares with the Payne-Aldrich law would be possible only through a de- tailed study by tariff experts, because the schedules of the new bill are in many cases not framed in parallel with the schedules of the Payne law.
 In comparison with the Underwood tariff law of the Wilson administra. tiOn the new bill removes many ar. ticles from the free list, although it leaves a large list free of duty, includ- Ing print paper, wood pulp, leather and harness and agricultural imple- ments. It raises the duties on the great bulk of imports already being taxed. It has made no notable ad. ditions to the free list.
 Comparison of the wool schedule with schedule K of the Payne-Aldrich bill, over which a bitter fight was waged in Congress, showed material reductions in a number of instances. In the items of hose and gloves the duty fixed by the committee was 30 cents a pound and 25 per cent ad val Orem duty in addition, while in the Payne bill the rate was A cents pound and 60 per cent ad valorem. Clothing, as fixed in the bill, carries 20 cents a pound and 25 per cent, as against A cents a pound and 80 per cent in the Payne measure.
 The same degree of shading was made by the committee in knit fab rics, at 25 cents a pound and 20 per cent ad valorem, against the former Republican rate of 33 to A cents pound and 90 to 55 per cent ad valor- em.
 Republican members of the commit tee declared that the rates on wool were much below the Payne-Aldrich schedule.
 The committee put tax of 35 cents a barrel on crude and 25 cents a bar rel on fuel oil.
 Finished lumber was kept on the free list. Shingles, however, were taxed in the lumber schedule, but many other items were not
