had whipped the young woman over
the big footing timber to standing
place under the tank among the
braces, and l had done the same for
the girl.
What followed was as mysterious
as chapter out Of an Anna Katherine
Green detective story. After doing
spur track, the four men separated. One
of them went back to the auto, and
the other three walked down the main
track to the lower switch of the short
siding, which was on the same side Of
the main line as the spur. Here the
fourth man rejoined them, and the
girl at my elbow told us what he had
gone back to the car for
"He has lighted a red lantern" she
whispered. 81 saw it when he took
it out of the auto"
guess it was pretty plain to all of
us by this time that there was some
thing decidedly crooked on the cards,
but If we had known what IL was, we
couldn't very well have done anything
TO prevent It. There were only two
of us men to their four; and, besides,
there wasn't any time. The lantern
carrying man had barely reached the
lower switch when we heard the whis-
tie of locomotive. There was q train
coming from the west, and a few sec
onds later an electric headlight showed
up on the long tangent beyond the
siding.
II was bandit hold-up, all right.
One of the men stood on the track
waving the red lantern; we could see
him plainly In the glare of the head
light. There wasn't much Of scrap.
There were two or three pistol shots,
and then, as near as we could make
out, the hold-up men, or some of them,
climbed into the engine.
Before you could count ten they had
made a flying switch with the single
car, kicking il in on the siding. Before
the car had come fully to stop, the
engine was switched I'm behind IL, cou-
pied on, and the reversed train, with
the engine pushing the car, ratified
away on the old spur that led off into
the hills; clattered away and was lost
To sight and hearing in less than a
minute.
II was not until after the train was
switched and gone that We discovered

gineer's box, TO put the key back In
place Then, with one TO boost ana
the other TO pull, we got our two
passengers up into the high cab. l
threw a few shovel-fuls of coal into
the firebox 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, I'm the full glare of the head
light as we nosed up for coupling,
there was 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 1t 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: "Well, well, Graham of all the
lucky things this side of Mesopota-
mia How the dev-how in thunder
did you manage to turn up hereT' And
all that, you know.
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, Mr.. Chadwick hadn't
even seen the kidnapers, and hadn't
known what was going on until after
it was all over.

muff thing?"
1t was the young woman who an
swered the boss.
Il didn't stop to Think she
fluttered, taking the blame as If she
had been the one to head the process
sion. isn't there any way we can
stop that train?''
The boss said there wasn't. and
know the only reason why he didn't
say lot Of other things was because
he was too much of a gentleman to
say them i'm the presence of couple
Of women.
So far as we could see, the SURF
roundings consisted of a short side
track, a spur running off into the hills,
and the water tank. The siding
switches had no lights, which argued
that there wasn't even O. pump-man at
the tank-as there was not, the tank
being filed automatically by a gravity
pipe line running back to a natural
BY this time the boss was beginning
to get a little better grip on himself
and he laughed.
"We've all earned the leather medal,
/ guess" he chuckled Its done now,
and it can't be helped"
"But isn't there anything we can
do?" said the young woman. "Can't

l saw Mr.. Norcross look down at
her skirts and then at the girls.
"You two couldn't walk very far
or very fast in those things you are
wearing" he grunted. Besides, we
are in one of the desert strips, and it
is probably miles to night wire sta
ton in either direction"
We trailed off together up the track,
two and two, the boss walking with
the young woman. After we'd counted
few of the cross-ties, the girl said !:
SIS your name Jimmie Dodds?" And
when I admitted it: milne Is Maisie

said. Maybe We'll have to stay here
all night"
81 shouldn't mind" she came back
airily. 81 haven't been up all night
since l was little kidde and our
house burned down."
We reached the big water tank, and
the boss picked out one of the square
footing timbers for a seat. It seemed
as If he were finding 1t a good bit
harder to get acquainted with his half
of the combination than / was with
mine, but after a little the young wo-
man thawed out bit and made him
talk-to help pass away the time,
took it--and the little girl and I sat
and listened 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 lot of things that I'd never even
dreamed of. It's curious how a pref
ty woman can make q man turn him
self inside out that way, just for her
amusement.
The boss asked her II she were
warm enough, saying that If she were
not, he and 1 would scrape up some
sage-brush or something and make a
fire. She replied that she didn't care
for a fire, that the night wasn't at
all cold-which 1t wasn't. Then she
showed that she was human, clear
down to the tips of her pretty fingers
"You may smoke II you want to-"
she told the boss. II sha'n't mind 1t
