DER1K and Bill promised to have the handcar
at the station the next day. and after
again hearing how sorry Mr. Appleton was for
the way things had turned out. they left him
and went back home.
They thought some of tearing down the
handcar that afternoon but both Of them had
work to do at home. and both we're reluctant
to start the unpleasant job. So when they
parted that evening they agreed to meet early
the next morning.
However. the next morning Bills father, who
ran the towns plumbing shop, needed his help
in hauling some freight from the station and
unpacking it. Bill asked Perry II he would like
to help on the job, and since Perry was willing,
they went with Mr.. Locke to the railway sta
tion and were busily engaged there when about
the middle Of the morning. the town was
plunged into . turmoil by the sudden and
dramatic return Of Mr.. Cutting, vice president

\A/HEN they reached the station, the first
wv person they encountered was Mr. Apple
ton, the agent.
We're looking for q fellow in mickers and
q bright sweater" announced BM. Have you
seen him?"
why. yes" replied Mr.. Appleton. That's
Jack Cutting, the son Of the vice president of
about?"
Nothing much" replied Bill gently but with
a gleam in his eye II just wanted to find
out what he was laughing at q while ago."
Mr.. Appleton regarded Bill and Perry closely.
then chuckled. I'm sorry to say that he isn't
here, boys" he said. "And I have a sneaking
idea that it's just as well for him that he
isn't"
Bill looked regretfully at Perry. 'Darn!" he
said. I'VE aren't having any luck at all today"
Mr.. Appleton then brought up the matter of
the Rambling Wreck, and told them how sorry
he was that Mr.. Cutting had seen 1t and for
hidden them to use it.
1T was just bad luck that you ran into him."
he pointed out. HE and his son have been
on fishing trip, and they just stopped in
here today to send q telegram. They left
almost Immediately, and drove up to Cobble
Mountain. You know Mr. Cutting has cabin
up there He used to go up quite a lot when
the line was running, but now he has to 60
up by automobile, and there's bad five miles

the cabin. He'll be back In . few days, and

FINALLY Mr.. Appleton managed to quiet the
alarmed man somewhat. He questioned
him closely, and tried to assure him that the
boy was old enough to look after himself But
everybody who heard Mr. Cuttings account Of
Jacks disappearance knew that it was serious.
Cobble Mountain was literally wilderness cov-
cred with dense undergrowth, and it would be
easy for a city boy to become lost there and
to stay lost until he starved Now that the
railroad line was abandoned. only one or two
rough trails led up from the highway. Of which
the best was the one that Mr.. Cutting had
used to reach his cabin.
Mr. Appleton hid his own concern and reas-
sured Mr.. Cutting, but he lost no time in tax
ing steps to organize search party. A few
minutes later several autos loaded with men
left the town for the cabin. As Bills father
knew the woods well, he was one of the party,
and the job Of unloading the freight was post
poned.
Bill and Perry watched the party leave, dis
appointed that they had been unable to go
along. Then suddenly Perry turned to Bill, the
light Of an idea in his eyes.
"Bin" he cried IF the Rambling Wreck
would climb the grade, we could be up that
mountain before they ever get there by the
round about road. And we'd cover part Of the
country that they won't get to for hours"

Z came roaring through the main street Of
the town in his high powered car, break
ing all speed laws, and skidded to a stop by
the station with squeal of brakes Hatless,
hair flying, wild-eyed, he leaped from the car
and dashed inside, calling for Mr.. Appleton.
Alarmed by the appearance Of the man, Bill
and Perry followed other bystanders into the
station to learn the cause of the mans very evil
dent excitement.
ITS Jack, my boy!" Mr.. Cutting was crying
to Mr. Appleton when they got inside. Hes
lost somewhere up there on Cobble Mountain
He went out alone with q rifle short time
after we got up there yesterday, and when
he didn't come back for supper, started look
ing for him. I hunted all night and didn't
find trace Of him. Then this morning heard
several shots and started out again, but couldn't
locate him, and was afraid I would get lost
myself. It's regular wilderness up there now
and I'm sure something has happened to him.
He's not used to the woods, and he doesn't
know much about q gun, and the rattlesnakes
are thick up there. You've got to organize a
search party at once and look for hin!"

INSTALLMENT III

-IFTEEN minutes later, the Rambling
Wreck was back at its starting point
- the section Of track just at the bottom
Of the Jameson pasture. Perry and
Bill climbed down and surveyed it with
heavy hearts.
"Wen there it is" said Perry. "T'he result
of weeks Of work. and what good Is it now?
II we run it on the tracks we are liable to be
arrested"
'It was fun to build. anyway" commented
Bill with an effort at cheerfulneSs.
Eyes, and now we've got to tear it apart
again." replied Perry, his face flushing with
anger
mot today" snapped Bill II haven't the
heart to-" His face clouded and he looked
grim. Instead" he went on, 81 think I'd like
to take walk back down to the station and
have a little talk with that smart kid in the
dashy clothes who had the crust to laugh
at US"
I'D sort of like to talk to him myself"
agreed Perry, his fists tightening. II think
maybe I could give him q lesson IN manners
that he'd remember
Bill was already starting down the spur Of
track toward the station. II thought Of it first"
he warned, 80 you've got to stay out Of It
unless he cleans me up"
Without another word the two boys hur
ried toward the railroad station, the light Of
battle in their eyes. Ordinarily neither Perry
nor Bill went looking for trouble. but the
strange boys mocking laughter. on top Of their
great disappointment and humiliation, had
aroused their thirst for blood.

There were laws for exempting
the taxes on his bonds and tricks
for eliminating the taxes on his
business. Given a smart lawyer,
or even a dumb one, the big
business man who wanted to
dodge the income tax collector,
could write off practically every
thing against replacement and

aeroplanes, campaign bets, bum

made by a look at the knuckles Of his

Michael, and belligerently, as Michael

Michael answered somberly.

that fat, short, middle-aged man, who
was "light-complected, had bought
two tickets for Memphis and that he
