above the railroad tracks. Already
the plows were assembled. This was
to be the fight of fights, there in the
moonlight. A quick shoot and a
lucky one. Otherwise-the men who
went forward to their engines would
not speak of it. But there was one
who did.

She nodded.

Suddenly the storm lifted for a
moment. Far below, miles in reality,
straight jets of steam rose high
above black, curling smoke; family,
Instantly, whistles sounded. The

He gripped her arm with the sight
of it, nor did she resist. Thrilled
cnthralled, they watched it; the
whirling smoke, the shooting steam,
the white spray which indicated the
grinding, churning progress of the
plows, propelled by the heavy en-
gines behind. From the swollen lips
of Houston:
They've started the fight I'm
going to work with them"
But"
He knew what she meant and
shook his head.
"No-she does not need me. My
presence would mean nothing to her.
! can't tell you why. My place
is down there"
For an instant Medaine Robinette
looked at him with frankly question
ing eyes, eyes which told that a
question was arising as to his guilt
in at least one of the things which
circumstances had arrayed against
him. But suddenly she was speak
ing, as though to divert her thoughts.

Houston stepped before her. A
moment later they were edging their
way down the declivity Of what once
had been railroad track.
Black dots they became -- dots
which appeared late in the afternoon
to the laboring crews of the snow
fighters far below; dots edging their
way about beetling prccipiccs, plung-
ing forward, then stopping; pulling
themselves out of the heavier drifts,
where drops of 10 and even 20 feet
had thrown them. Once, at the edge
Of an overhanging ledge, he scram-
bied furiously, failed and fell-to
drop in a drift far below, to crawl
painfully back to the waiting dot
above. Hours! The dots grew
larger. On they came, stumbling,

Ten minutes later Barry stood be-
side a great Mallet engine, sleek
greyhound of the mountains, taking
instructions from the superintendent.

minute these engines get inside and

Barry climbed to his place on the
engine. A whistle sounded, to DE

ready now for fresh sally into the
| shed. Throttles open, fire boxes
throwing their red, spluttering
glare against the black sky as fire
men leared to their task, the great
mass of machinery moved forward.

were within the snowshed now, the
auger boring and tearing and snarl-
ing like some savage, vengeful thing

progressed; then progress ceased,
while the pillow ahead shrilled the
triple signal to back up. The engi-
neer opened the cab window and
eratefuny sucked in the fresh, clean
air.
Eight feet-that's all" he mused.
Eight feet at time"
Back and forth-back and forth
fresh air and foul air-gleaming
lights, then dense blackness-so the
hours passed Sally after sally the
snowplow made. Men fell groveling,
only to be dragged into the open air
and resusctated, then sent down
once more into the cruelty of the
fight The hours dragged by like
stricken things. Then-with drawn

It surged forward. Gray light broke

CHAPTER XIX.


1t was night when Barry Houston
limped, muscles cramped and frost
numbed, into the little undertaking
shop at Tollifer and deposited his
tiny burden. Medaine Robinette had
remained behind in the care of the
snow crews.
"Nameless," be said with an effort,
when the lengthy details of certifica-
and necessary lie came to his lips
became unconscious before she
could tell me anything except that
the baby had been baptized She
wanted a priest"
From far away came the whistles
of locomotives, answering the sig
nails of the snoW-plows ahead. He
remembered the bulky cars of ma
chinery at Tollifer. 1t was partially
his battle they were fighting out
there. He fumbled aimlessly in his
pockets for his gloves. Something
tinkled on the floor and he bent to
pick up the little crucifix with its
twisted, tangled chain, forgotten at
Tollifer. Duly, haziiy, he stared at
it with his red eyes, with the fain
feeling Of a duty neglected. Then:
"She only said they might want
it, he mumbled. pm sorry l
should have remembered. I'm al
ways failing at something"
Then, anxious to take his place IN
the fighting line, he replaced the
tiny bit of gold in his pocket and
threaded his way through the cir-
cuitous tunnel of snow.
Even from the distance, Barry
could hear the surge of the terrific
impact, as the rotary smashed
against the tight-iammcd contents of
the shed, snartd and tore at its
enemy. then, beaten at last by the
crustcd ice of The rails, came grudg-
ingly back 50 that The crews might
break the ice from The rails ard
