CHAPTER II Mr. Chadwiek's Special Of course, t noon as the skip-out of the four hold-up men gar ua a free hand we knew It waa np to ua to get busy and do something. It waa a aafo bet that the Alexa win carrying her owner, and In that case Mr. John Chadwlck and hW train crew were aomewhere hack In the hills, without n engine, and with a good prospect of staying "put" until somebody should go and hunt them up. "We've got to find out what they've dona with Mr. Chadwlck," Mr. Nor Croat broke out. And then: "It can't be very far to where they have left the engine, and If they haven't crip, pled It" He stopped short and alung question at the two women: "Will you two atay here with Jlmmle while I go and aee what I can find In that gui.hr They both paid nie the compliment of saying that they'd atay with me, hut the young wumun suggested that It might be Just as well If we should all go up the gulch together. So we piked out In the dark, the boss help ing Mrs. Sheila to hobo along over the croHs ties of the spur, and the lit tle girl stumbling on behind with me. We had followed the spur track up th gulch for maybe a short quarter of a mile when we came to the en gine. As we had feared It might be. the big machine was crippled. There waa a key gone out of one of the connecting-rod crank-pin straps; one miserable little piece of steel, maybe eight Inches long ami laiering one way, and half an Inch or so thick the other; but that was aplenty. We couldn't make a move without It. I thought we were done for, but Mr. Norcross chased me up into the cab for a lantern. Willi die lluht we be gan to hunt around In the short grass. I had been sensible enough to show the little girl the oilier connecting rod key, so she knew exactly what to look for, and It did me a heap of good when It turned out that die was the one who found the lost bit of sicel.

Then, with one to boost and the other to pull, we 'gut our two passengers np into the high rah. I threw a few shovelful of coal into the firebox and put the blower on; and when wV were all set. the !. oiwiied the throttle and we weut care fully nuing ahead over the old track, feeling our way up the gulch and keep ing a sharp lookout for the Alexa aa we ground and squealed around the curve. It mut have been four or five miles back In the hills to the place where we found the private cur, pushed In on n oi l 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. In the full glare of the head light as we nosed up for. a coupling, there was a big. gray-haired man. bareheaded and dressed In rough-looking old clothes like a mining pros pector. The big man was "Uncle John" Chadwlck, and If be was proi-erly astonished at seeing us turn up with hla lost engine, he didn't let It Inter fere with our weleopie. Mr. Chudwick seemed to know Mm. Sheila ; at any rate, be shook liands with her and called her by name. Then he grabbed for the boss and fairly shouted at him: "Well, well, Graham! f all the Im-ky thing this side of Mesopota mia! How the ilev how in thunder did you manage to turn up here?" 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 kidnaping and the reason why. There had been no violence the platol shots had been merely meant to scare the trainmen and there bad been no attempt at robbery; for that matter, Mr. Chadwlck hadn't even aeen the kidnapers, and hadn't known what was going on until after It was all over. Mr. Norcroxa told what we had seen, and how we had come to be where we were able to see It, but that didn't help out much, either. From any point of view It seemed perfectly foolish, and the boss made mention of that. If we hadn't happened to be there to bring the engine back, the worst that could have befallen Mr. Chadwlck and the crew of the special would have been a few hours' bother and delay. In the course of time the conductor would have walked out and got to a wire station somewhere, though It might have taken him all nigM, and then some, to get another engine, Naturally. Mr. Chadwlck was red hot about It. on general principles. I guess he wasn't used to being kid naped. "I emi t help thinking that it is con nected with what Is due to bapen to-morrow morning, Graham," he said, at the end of things. "There are some certain scoundrels In I'orlal City at the present moment who wouldn't stop at anything to gain their ends, and I am wondering now If Pawes wasn't mixed up In It." "Who Is Dnwesr "Pawes Is a mining man In Portal City, uiid heforoaj'd been an hour In town yesterday he hunted me up and wanted me to go over to Strathcona to look at some gold prospects he's trying to finance. I said 'No' at first, because I was expecting you, and thought you'd reach. Portal City this morning. When yon didn't show up. I knew I had twelve hours More on my hands, and as Dawes was still banging mi, I had our trainmaster give me n special over to Strathcona, on a promise that I'd be brought back early this evening, ahead of the 'Flyer' from the west the train you were on." Mr. Norcross nodded. "And the promise wasn't kept." "No promise U ever kept on the Pioneer Short Une," growled the big magnate. And then, with a beauti ful disregard for the mixed figures of speech: "Once In a blue moon the chapter of accidents hits the bull's eye whack In .the middle, Graham When Hardshaw wired me from Port lend, I knew yon couldn't reach Portal City before this morning, at the very earliest. That was going to cut my time pretty short, with the big gun due to be fired tomorrow morning, and you cut it stilt shorter by losing twelve hours somewhere along the road they told me In the dis patcher' office that your train was behind a wreck aomewhere up to Oregon. But It has turned out all right. In aplte of everything. Tou're here, and -we've goj the night before 118," Then I suppose he nodded to ward me, for the boas said: "Oh, Jlmmle's all right; he knew what I had for dinner this evening, and he'll know what I'm going to have for breakfast tomorrow morning." With the brldlC off, the big man went ahead abruptly, cutting out all the frills. "Yon finished your building em tract oo the Oregon Midland, Gra ham, and after the road was opened for business you refused an offer of the general managership. Would you mind telling me why you did thstr "Not lo the least. There Is nothing In It An operating bead is now nothing more than score keeper for national gambling game.

Stock gambling, under whatever name It masquerades boosting values, buying and selling margins, reorgan isations, with their huge rake-offs for the underwriters Is the Incubus which la crushing the life out of the nation's Industries, especially In the railroad field. It makes me wish I'd never wn i railroad track." "Yet It Is your trade, Isn't Itr asked 0e wheat king.

"In due time we might bie to be reading your name lu the ne.si;i-rs "Sir Graham Norcxoss, P.S.O," or something of that sort." Then, with a sharp return to the sort f gritting seriousness : "You've been riding over the Pioneer Short Llue sii.ee early this morning, Graham: what ti t jou think of It?" 1 couldn't cc the bos smile, but I could liure it pretty well when he said: "Tin-re may be worse managed. wore l.eglected piei-es of railroad track in some of the great transcon tinental lines, but if there are I huxeii't happt-ucd to not lee them. I suppose it Is capitalized to death, like many of the others." "Fictitious values doubtless have something to do with It at the pres ent stage of the game," Mr. Chad wlck admitted. "It has always been a good earning proorty. being largely, even yet, without much local com petition. Hut from the day it was completed its securities have figured in the market only for tlieir secu lative values. The property itself has never besi considered, save as a means to an end; the end being to enable one bunch of the Wall Street gamesters you speak of to make a 'killing' and unload oo another bunch," "The old story," said Mr. Norcross. "We are bumping over the net re sult, right now," Mr. Chadw k went on. "Pioneer Short Line is practical ly lu the last ditch. The stock has slumped to forty and worse; Shaffer, the general manager and the only able man we have had for years, has resigned in disgust; and if something isn't done tomorrow morning in Portal City, I know of at least one minority stockholder who Is going to throw the whole mess luto the courts aud try for a receivership." Mr. Norcross looked up quickly. "Are you the minority stockholder, Uncle Johu?" he asked, letting him self use the mime by which Mr. Chad wlck was best known In the wheat pit "I am more'a the pity. I had a little lapse of sanity one fine morning a few years tigo and bought In for an investment. I've done everything I could think of, Graham, to persuade Itreck Imnton and his Wall Street ac complices to spend Just one dollar In ten of their reorganization and re capitalization stealings on the road Itself, but It's no good. Punton has been mnklng an Inspection trip over the system with a dozen or so of his New York cronies. It's a junketing excursion, pure and simple, hut while they're here they'll get together and go through the form of picking out a new general manager, Iln on the board and they had to send me notice, though It's an even bet they hoped I'd stay away." "Are you really going to spring the receivership on the Piinton people to morrow?" "I'm going to give Ptiiiton h's chance. He can appoint the man want appointed as general manager, with full power to act, and ratify a little plnn I've got tip my sleeve for providing a bit of working capital for the road, or he ran -turn me down." "And If he does turn you down?" "Theu, by George, I'll see If I can't persuade Hie courts to put the prop erty Into Imnki'uptcy and install my niuu as receiver!" "I don't envy your man his Job, either way around; not the least little morsel In the world," said the boss, quietly. And then: "Who Is he, Uncle John?" The wheat king gnve a great laugh. "Don't tell me you haven't guessed "You're the Man, Graham." It" be chuckled. "You're the man, Graham." Hut now Mr. Norcross bad some thing to say for himself, sitting up straight and shaking hla head sort of sorrowfully at the big man In the padded chnlr. "No, you don't, my good old friend; not In thnusnnd year! You'd lose out In the end. and I'd lose out; and, besides, I'm not quite ready to com mit suicide." And then to me. "Jlm mle. suppose you go and tap on i! door Ml d tell the Indies we're pulling Into Portal City." I boug around while the bow U telling M.-.

She took Malsle Ann on the other Side of ,er and let two of the blocks go by without laying anything more, and then i-he gave that quiet little laugh again and said. "Your Mr. Nor cn aimix's me. Jimmie. He says I have no huini''4 to travel without a gunniiHii. What do you think about It?" I told In r I hadn't any thinks com ing, and she seemed to lake that for a Joke mid laughed some more. Then she asked me if I'd ever been in New York, anil I felt sort of small when I bad to tell her that I bad never leen east of Omaha in all my life. Wfth that, she told me not to worry; that If 1 stayed with Mr. Norcross I'd probably jet to go anywhere I wanted to. Something In the way she said It uuide it sound like a little slain on the boss iiml of course I wasn't go ing to Maud for that. "There is one thing about it: the boss will make good wherever he goes." 1 lilt back. "You tan lK-t on that" "I like your loyalty," she flashed out "It Is a tine thing In a day that Is much too careless of such qualities. And I agree with you that your Mr. Norcross is likely to succeed; more than likely. If he will only learn to combine a little gentle cleverness with the heavy hand." "I don't think you have any cause to blacklist Mr. Norcross," I aald. "Hasn't he been right good and broth erly to both of you this evening?" "Oh, I didn't mean that," she said real earnestly. "But In the stateroom In Mr. Chadwlck's car: the ventilator was open, you know, until Malsle Ann got up and shut It, and we couldn't very well help bearing what was said about the kidnaping. Neither Mr. Chadwlck nor Mr. Norcross seemed to be utile to account for It." "Can yon account for Itr I asked. bluntly enough, 1 guess. At this she smiled and said, "It would he rather presumptuous for me to try where Mr. Norcross and Mr. Chadwlck fulled, wouldn't It? Hut maybe I ean give you just a wee Hltle hint. You saw the two men who went over to the auto and smoked while they were waiting for the other two to come back? If I am not mistaken, I Jiave wen them many times before. and they are very well known here In Portal City, tine of them, the smaller one with the derby hat and the short overcoat, was either Mr. Kufus Hatch or his double; and the other, the heavy-set one, might have been Mr. Gustave Hem kel, Mr. Hutch's partner In the Red Tower company." This didn't help out much, but you can bet that I made a note of the two names. "You are going back to Mr. Chad wlck's car?" she asked, when she was telling me good by and thanking me for coming up to the hotel with them, I told her I was, and then she came around to the kidnaping business again of her own accord. "You may give Mr. Norcross the hint I gave you, If you wish," she said; "only you must be a good boy, Jlmmle, and not drug me Into It." "1 see," I nodded; "I'll tell the boss, when I get a good chance, and you con bet your last dollar he won't tangle you up In It he Isn't put to gether that way." "Well, then, good-night," she smiled, giving me her hund. And with that she sort of edged the little girl Into the elevator before we could get a chance to shuke hands, and I heard her tell the boy to take them up to the mezzanine landing. By and by, I went down to the tu Hon and begun to hunt for the Alexa. The boss tint Mr. Chadwlck were facing each other across the table, which was all littered up with papers and maps and reports, and they hard ly noticed me when I blew In and sat down a Utile to one side. Just after I broke in, Mr. Norcross jumped up amphegnn to pace back and forth before the table, with his hands In his pockets. "No, I can't see It. Uncle John," he said, still sort of stubborn and de termined. "You are trying to make me believe that I ought to tnke the biggest Job (hut has ever been set bo fore the expert In any Held ; to dem onstrate, on this rotten corpse of a railroad, the solution of a problem that has the entire country guexslng at the present time; namely, the win ning of success, and public and in dustrialapproval for a carrier cor poration which had continuously and persistently broken every coir.mund nient In all the decalogues of busl oess; of fair-dealing with its em ployees; of t common honesty with everybody." Mr. Chadwlck nodded. "That Is about the site of It." be said. "I wouldn't say that It en n't be done," the boss went on. "Perhaps It Is possible, for the right man. Rut Tm not the right man. You need some body who can combine the qualities of a pretty brutal slugger with those of a fine-haired, all-things-to-itll-mcii, diplomatic ienceinnkr. I can do the slugging; I've proved It a time or two in the past.

And as for the other thing the Industrial side of it: that's a large order; a whaling l.ig order. I'm not even pr. Mired to say, offhand, that It's the right thing to do." "Kiiit r wroic it's a thing that Is coining.

Let It rest at that for the present. Get your bat and we'll walk uptown to the hotel When we got out of the car. Mr. Norcross told me to go by the si at Ion and have our luggage sent to the ho tel. It was some time after eleven o'clock when I got around to the hotel with the traps. Mr. Chadwlck had disap peared, but I saw the boss at the counter waiting for his chancy at the clerk. The people melted away at last, all but one a young swell who would have been handsome If he hadn't hnd the eyes of a maniac and a color that was sort of corpse-like with the pallor of a hooze-flghter. He bad his hat on the hack of bis head, and he was ripping It off at the clerk like a drunken hobo. It seemed that he had caught a glimpse of somebody he knew a wo man, 1 took It, because be said "she" looking dowu from the rail of the mezzanine, and be wanted to go op to her. And It appeared that the clerk bad told the elevator man not to take hint up In his present condition. The boss was growing sort of Im patient; I could tell It by the way the little side muscles on his Jaw were working. When he got the ear of the clerk for a second or so be tween cusses, be asked what was the mutter with the lunatic. I caught only broken bits of Hie clerk's half whisper: "Young Colllngwood . . . President Punton's nephew . . , saw lady , , , mezzanine. . . . wants to go up to her." The lioss scowled at the young fel low, who was now handing himself stoived at the Billiard only to wait until be could come after them and take Iheio home. I saw the boss sit up In bis chair and stare at them. Then he said: That's Mrs. Macrae with him now. Is she a member of his family?" "A second cousin, or something of that aort." said Mr. Chadwlck. "I met her once at the major's house out In the northern suburb last summer." Mr. Norcross let the three of them get out and awsy. and we heard their taxi speed up and trundle off before be said. "She Is married, I'm told. Where Is her husband?" Mr. Chadwlck looked up aa If he'd already forgotten the three who bad Just crossed the lobby. "Who Sheila Macrae? Yes, ah has been married. But there isn't any husband she's a widow." For quite a while the boss sat star ing a his cigar In a way he has whea he Is thinking right hard, ai.d Mr. Chadwlck let hi in alone. Then, all of a sudden, the boss got up and shoved bis hands Into his coat pockets. "I've changed my mind. Uncle John," he said, looking sort of absent-like oat of the window to where the major's taxi bad been standing. "If you can pull me Into that deal tomorrow mor ning with an absolutely free hand to do as I think best, mind you I'll take the Job." ' (Continued In the next Issue.)
