It re- quires a cast of capable players and able direction, and these Universal has evidently supplied. Leo McCarey, Tod Rrowning's first executive in the production of "The Virgin of Stam- bul' and Outside the Law" directed the picture.

 To secure the proper atmosphere. Director George Melford took his compafiy to the Sierra mountains. in northern California, and there in the snow-clad peaks and valleys most of the action was filmed. Some of the scenes represent dog trains coming in to the trading posts from hunting ex- petitions, the sledges laden down with furs. Several prominent furriers on the Pacific coast loaned the choicest specimens from their stocks for these scenes. Some of the loads which the Indians carry upon their backs during the course of the story are worth into six figures.

 As an interpreter of life behind the scenes, Olive Thomas, for all Of her 3 feet, inches, was head and shoul- ders above most stars of the silver sheet.

 Her characterizations were perfect ly cut gems.

"No. mean II, Graham -. It Is as

The suspense didn't last very long.
A hand came up first to push the

hand, long and slender. more like

the glass saw the face. and 1t gave
me such turn that l thought must

There was silence In the majors

There was silence again. and I
got up quietly and crossed the dining

stood looking out into the darkness
of the tree-shaded lawn. 1t was pretty
evident that Mrs. Shella knew heap

The boss turned the material trou-
BILE over to Mr.. Van Britt and devoted
himself pretty strictly to the public
side of things. Everywhere. and on
every occasional dinners at the diff

public banquets given to this, that, or
the other visiting big-wig-he was al
ways ready to get on his feet and tell
the people that the true prosperity OF
the country carried with 1t the pros
perity Of the railroads; that the two
things were one and inseparable; and
that, when 1t came right down to basic
facts, the railroads were really a part
of the progress machinery of the coun-
try at large and should be regarded,
not as alien tax-collectors, but as con-
tributors to the general prosperity and
welfare.
BY this time, also. Red Tower Con-
solidated was beginning to find out
what 1t meant to have active COM
petition. The G. s. & w. people were
hammering their new plants into work
ing shape, and they were getting the
patronage, both of the producers and
consumers, hand over fist. Track facil-
tiles and yard service were granted
freely; and while no discrimination
was permitted as against the Red
Tower people, the friendly attitude Of
the road counted for something, as 1t
was bound to.
During those few prediction weeks
the New York end of us seemed to
have petered out completely. We heard
nothing more from President Dunton,
worse than an occasional wire COM
plant about the number of wrecks
we were having, though the stock
was still going down, point by point,
and, so far as q man up a tree could
see, we, were making no attempt to
show net earnings-were turning all
our money into betterments as fast as

New Yorkers would never be able to
break even, to say nothing of profit,

OF course, the first thing did, the
morning after that adventure In the
coal yard, was to tell the boss all
about It, and I was just foxy enough
to do It when Mr.. Ripley was present.
Mr.. Norcross didn't say much: and,
for that matter, neither did the law
yer, though he did ask the boss q
question or two about the real facts
In the Midland right-of-way sQuabble.
But noticed, after that, that our
man Tarbell was continually turning
up at all sorts of times, and In all
sorts Of odd places. so took It that
Ripley had given him his tip. and
that he was sert of body-suarding Mr..

Pretty soon heard the murmur Of

CHAPTER discontinued.

It was up to me to move again.
Henckel was striking matches and
holding them so that Clanahan could
look under the cars, and l could feel,
In anticipation, the shock of bullet
from the big gun In the divekeeper's
fat fist as crawled cautiously out
on the far side. Creeping along be-
hind the string of coal cars l came
presently TO the great gantry crane
used for unloading the fuel. 1t was a
huge travelling machine, straddling the
tracks and a good part of the yard,
and the clam-shell grab-bucket was
down, resting on its two lips on the
ground.
At first thought of climbing to the
framework Of the crane and trying to
hide on the big bridge beam. Then
/ saw that the two halves of the clam
shell bucket were slightly open, just
wide enough to let me squeeze In.
II they were looking for full-sized
man-Tarbell, for instance, who was
as husky as farm-hand-they'd never
think of that crack In the bucket; and
In another second ! had wriggled
through the v-shaped opening ard was
sitting bumped up in one of the halves
Of the clam-shell.
That was mighty good guess.
When Hatch came back with his gun,
they combed that coal yard with a
fine-tooth comb, using a lantern that
Hatch had gotten from somewhere and
missing no hole or corner where a
man might hide, save and excepting
only the one had pre-empted.
As it happened, the search wound
} up finally under the crane, with the
three standing so near that I could
have reached out of the crack between
the bucket halves and touched them.
"Der tuyfel has gone NIT himself
ofer der fence, yes?" puffed Henckel.
And then: "yot for iss he shoot of

Clanahan confessed. suppose be-
cause he knew he would have to, sooner
or later.
'It was q, hold-up," he growled. '.Th'
warrants gone out av my pocket"
Hatch's comment on this was fairly
blood-curdling In its profanity.
'aThen it's up to you to get him some
r other way, you laundering son Of a
theft" ne ragged. II don't care what
you do, but If you don't make this
country too hot to hold him, it's go

what more he was going to say, l
don't know, for at that moment be-
lated police patrol began pounding at
the gates on the town side and want
ing to know what all the shooting was
about.
1t was after they had oil gone away,
leaving the big coal yard in silence
/. and darkness, that ! got mine, good
and hard. Sitting all punched up In
the grab-bucket and waiting for my
chance to climb out and make get
away. the common sense reaction came
and saw what had done. With the
best intentions in the world, ip trying
to kill or the chance offered to the
enemy by the Oregon warrant and
the trumped-up charge of murder. l
had merely saved the boss an arrest
and a possible legal tangle and had
put him In peril Of his life.
