Things looked smokj on the West End. The general superintendent happened to be with as when the news came. Tou ean't handle it boys," said he nervously. "What you'd better do is to turn it over to the Columbian Pacific.- Our contracting freight agent on the coast at that time was a fellow so er ratic that be was nicknamed Crazy horse. Eight in the midst of the strike Crazy horse wired that he had secured a big silk shipment for Naw York. We were paralysed. We had no engineers, no firemen and no motive power to speak of. The strikers were pounding our men, wrecking our trains and giving ns the worst of it generally that Is, when we couldn't give It to them. Why the fellow displayed bis activity at that particular juncture still remains a mystery. Perhaps he had grudge against the road. If so, be took an artful revenge. Everybody on the sys tem with ordinary railroad sense knew that our struggle was to keep clear of freight business until we got rid of our strike. Anything valuable or per ishable was especially unwelcome. ' Put the stuff was docked and loade 1 and consigned In our care before we knew It After that a refusal to carry It would be like hoisting the whit flag, and that is something which never yet flew on the West End, "Turn It over to the Cotnblsn,, said the general superintendent, But the general superintendent was not looked cp to on our division. II hadn't enough sand, Our bead was a fighter, and he gave tone to every man under blm. i- . ' "No," be thundered, bringing down Ids flat, "not In a thousand years! We'll move It ourselves. Wire Mont gomery, the general manager, that we will take care of It And wire him to Are Cnzyhorse-and to do It right off." And.berora toe SilK was vsraea wer to os Crmsyborw was looking for an other Job. It 1 the only ease on rec ord wherai freight hostler was dis charged for getting business. There were twelve ear loads. It was insured for $83,000 a car. Ton eaa figure bow far the title la wrong, bat j-oo caa never estimate the worry that rtuX gave os. It looked as Wg as Zl2,C'-r0 worth.

S V r 5 s aajss unvswasa value was a hundred and twenty mil lions, but I gave you the figures Just ' as they weut over the wire, and they are right. What bothered us most was that the strikers bad the tip almost as soon as We bad It Having friends on every road In the country, they knew as much about our business as we ourselves. The minute It was an nounced that we should move the silk they were after us. It was a defiance, a last one. If we could move freight for we were already moving passen gers after a fashion the strike might be well accounted beaten. Stewart, the leader of the local con tingent, together with bla followers, Sot after me at once. "You don't show much sense, Heed," aid ha "You fellows here are break' lag your necks to get things moving, And when this strike's over if our boys ask for your discbarge they'll get It This road can't run without our engi neers. We're going to beat you. If jou dare try to move this stuff we'll iiave your scalp when It's over. You'll sever get your silk to Zanesville. I'll promise you that And If yon ditch It and make a million dollar loss, you'll get let out anyway, my bock.' "I'm here to obey orders, Stewart," 3 retorted. What waa the use of mo ret 1 felt uncomfortable, but we had de termined to move the silk. There waa nothing more to be said. When I went ever to the roundhouse and told Neighbor the decision be said never a word, but he looked a great 3eal. Neighbor's task was to supply the motive power. All that we had, uncrippled, was In the passenger serv ice, because passengers must be mov ed must be taken care of first of all In order to win a strike you must liave public opinion on your side. "Nevertheless. Neighbor." said I, after we had talked awhile, "we must auove the silk also." , Neighbor studied, then he roared at als foreman. "Send Bartholomew Mullen here." He spoke with a decision that- made me think the business was done. I had never happened, It Is true, to hear of Barthalomew Mullen In the depart ment, of motive power, but the Im pression the name gave me was of a monstrous fellow, b!g as Neighbor or -old man Banker or Dad Hamilton, "I'll pat Bartholomew ahead of It muttered Neighbor tightly. A boy walked Into the office. "Mr. Cartea said yea waated to see no, air." said he, addressing the mas ter meehaaie. ; : ',"1- do, Bartholomew,1 responded JSelgBbeft-K---- '-' . "",fcH' The figure ia my mind's eye shrank ia twinkling. - Then It occurred to me that.

And 1 knew It was on. . . . . . - "Tea, air ''.' y.-.V.rj -: Too want to get killed, Bartbolo-saew- '.' .v t Bartholomew smiled as If the Idea waa not altogether displeasing. !

They'd better bare let him In." eald the master mechanic grimly.. "He may be the means of breaking their backs yet If I give him aa engine and be runs It, III never take blm off; union or no onion, strike or no strike." ' "How eld Is that boyT I asked, "Eighteen, and never a kith or a kin that I knew of., Bartholomew Mullen," mased Neighbor as the alight figure moved across the flat "big: name small oy. Well, Bartholomew, youH know , something more by -tomorrow nigM about running an engine or a whole Jot. less. Tbafa aa It happens. If he gets killed, IPs your fault, Reed." He meant. that I waa calling on him for men when he absolutely couldn't prodoce tbtm,f"-rXA fc-'SnVf "I heard once, be went on, htboot a fellow named Bartholomew being mbc ed up In a massacre. But I take It ne must have been an older man tljan oar Bartholomew. Nor bis other name wasn't Mullen, neither. I dlsremem ber just what It was, but It wasnt Mullen." - "Well, don't say I want to get the boy killed. Neighbor,"' I t protested. "I've plenty to answer for. I'm here to ran trains when there are aay to run. That's murder enough for me. You needn't send Bartholomew oat on my account." ,.;., "Give him a slow schedule, and 111 -pi ye him orders to Jump early. That's all -we can do. If the strikers don't ditch blm. hell get through some how." It stuck In my crop the idea of put tins the boy on a pilot engine to take all the dangers ahead of that partic ular tram. But I had a good deal else to think of besides. From the minute the silk got Into the McCloud yards we posted double guards around. About 12 o'clock that night we held a council of war, which ended In onr running the train Into the out freight bouse. The result was that by morn ing we had a new train made up. It consisted of fourteen refrigerator care loaded with oranTes which had come In mysteriously the night before. It was announced that the silk would be held for the present and the oranges rushed through. . Bright and early the refrigerator train was run down to the Ice houses, and twenty men were pat to work icing the oranges. At T oetoe HcCurdy pulled In the local passenger with engine 108. Our plan wssi to cancel the local and ran him right out with the oranges. When he got in he reported the 105 had sprang a tire. It knocked oar scheme into a cocked bat There was a lantern jawed confer ence In the roundhouse. "What caa you dor" asked the super Intendent In desperation. . "There's only one thing I can do. Put Bartholomew Mullen on It with the 44 and put McCurdy to bed for No. 2 tonight" responded Neighbor, : . We were running first fa, first eat, but we took care to always have some body for 1 and 2 who at least knew an Injector from an air pump. I . It was 8 o'clock. I looked Into the locomotive stalls. The first the only man in sight was Bartholomew Mullen. He was very busy polishing the 44. He had good steam on her, and the old tab was wheecing as if she bad the asthma. The 44 was old, she waa homely, she was rickety, but Bartholomew Mullen wiped her battered nose as deferential ly as If she bad been a spick-spaa, spi der driver, tall truck mall racer. .- She wasn't mucbthe 44. But in those daya Bartholomew wasn't much, and the 44 was Bartholomew's. ' "How . la she; steaming, Bartholo mew J" I aung oat 'He waa right in the middle of ber. Looking up, he fin gered bis waste modestly and blushed through a dab of erode petroleum over his eye.-- v. .- v m "Hundred and thirty, air, She's a ter rible free steamer, the old 44, I'm all ready to ran ber oat" $ "Who's marked up to fire for you, Bartholomew!" ' Bartholomew Mullen looked at me fraternally. ,-.k"-- ---.:V ' "Neighbor couldn't give me anybody but a wiper," said Bartholomew In a sort of wouldn't that-kill y oo .tone, The unconscious arrogance of the boy, quite knocked, me so soon bad honors changed bla point of view last night a despised wiper, at daybreak an engineer, and his nose In the air at the Idea of taking on a wiper for fireman, and all so innocent - v ' - v t "Would yon object, Bartholomew." I suggested gently, "to a train master for fireman?" ' . ; - "1 don't think ao, sin" , j "Thank you, because I ami going dowa lo Zaaesvffle this morning my self, and I thought I'd ride with yon. Ia It an rlgbtr v "Oh, yea, sir, If Neighbor doesn't care." . -jv I amiledV He didn't .know who Neighbor took orders from, bat be thought evidently not from me,- - s "Then ran ber dawn to the oranges, Bartholomew, and couple on, and we'll order ourselves oat , Seel" $ J J V ' ' The 44 really looked like a baby ear-' rlage when we got ber In treat of the refrigerators.. However, after the nec essary preliminaries we gave a eery eporty toot and palled out In few minutes we were salUag Tdowa the alley. ji "t- '-.....-,.,.'.. - .. t For fifty miles we bobbed along with oar cargo of feed silk as easy as old shoes, for I need hardly explain that we had packed the silk Into the re frigerators to confnee the strikers. The great risk waa that they would try to ditch oa. - - 1 T: -. -! I was watching the track as a moose weald a eat, looking every minute fo trouble. We cleared, the gumbo eat west of tbe Beaver at a pretty good clip in order to make the rm1e on the ' idden rries. a bit Suddenly I felt the fill going soft undor tbe drivers fVlt fha 41 wabble and alew. Barthelomew sbat'eff bard end threw the air aa I spraag to the win dow. Th peart-fii! ittle creek anend looked as angry as the Platte in April water, and tbe bottoms were a lake. Somewhere up tbe valley there bad been a cloudburst for overhead the eun was bright The Bcnver wa rou lug over Its banks, nod the bridge was out Bartholomew screamed for brakes. 'It looked U If we were against It nd A soft track to atop on, a torrent of storm water . ahead , and ' $1,000,000 worth of silk behind, not to mention eqoipmentl :;T' 'i : . , I yelled at Bartholomew ana mo tioned for him to Jump. F My con science is clear on that point Tbe 44 waa stumbling along, trying, ; like a drunken man, to bang to tbe rotten track. . . - - "Bartholomew!" I . yelled, : But he waa bead oat and looking back at bis train, while he Jerked frantically at tbe air lever I understood. The air wouldn't work, tt never will on those old robe when you need It . The sweat poshed oat on me. I was thinking of bow much tbe silk would bring us after a bath In the Beaver.. Bartholo mew stack to his levers like a man la a algnal tower, but every second brought us closer to open .water. Watching him. Intent only on saving bis first train, beedlesa of saving bis life, I waa really a ; bit ashamed to Jump. While I hesitated ho somehow got the brakes to set The old 44 backed like a broncho. " v-y It wasn't too soon. She checked ber train nobly at the last, but I saw noth Ing could keep ber from the drink. I caught Bartholomew; a terrific slap, and again I yelled; then, turning to the gangway. I dropped Into the soft mod on' my aide. The 44 hung low, and It waa easy lighting.' k Bartholomew sprang from bla seat a second later, but his blouse caught in tbe teeth of the quadrant He stooped quick as thought . and peeled tbe thing over hla bead. But then he waa caught with bla bands ' tn the wristbands, and the s ponies of 44 tipped over tbe broken abutment Tan as be would, be couldnt "get free. Tbe pilot dipped Into the torrent slowly; bat losing her balance, the Kicked her hetU Into the air and shot plump (ate the creek. 44 kicked ber heels Into tbe air like lightning and shot with a frightened wbeeae plump Into the creek, drag ging ber engineer after her. rr - The bead car stopped on tbe brink. Banning across the track, I looked for Bartholomew. He wjuin't there. . I knew be must bare gone down with Hla engine. V Throwing off my giores, I.dlred jast aa I stood, close to the tender; which bong half submerged. I am a good bit of a fish under water, bat no self re specting fish would be caught in that yellow mod, -1 realised, too, Jhe Instant I struck the water that I should bare dired on lie upatrcam aide. The cur rent took me away whirling. When I came up for air I was fifty feet below tbe pier, I felt It waa an op with Bar tholomew aa I scrambled out bat to my amazement as I shook my eyes pen the train crew were running for ward, and there stood Bartholomew oa tbe track abore me looking at the re frigerators. When I got to bint be ex plained to me how be waa dragged In and bad to tear the sleeres out of bis blouse under water to get free. The surprise is how little fuss men make about such things when they are busy.! It took only fire minutes for tbe conductor to bant up a coil of wire and a sounder for me, and by the time be got forward with it Bartholomew waa halfway up a telegraph pole to help me cot la on a lire wire. 'Fast aa 1 could I rigged pony and began calling tbe McClood dispatcher. It was a rocky end, bat after no end of poundlngr I got blm and care orders for the wreck- toa ran and for one more of Kehrb- bofs rapidly decreasing supply of loco' moUrea. , v. ,: Bartholomew, aittlng on a atrip of fence which still rose' abore wsterj looked forlorn. To lose the first engine ST Us ' be erer handled In the Bearer waa1 tough, and be was evidently speculat ing on bis chances ot ever getting an other. If there, weren't . tears in bis eyes,, there was storm water certainly, Bat after the relief engine bad pulled; what waa left of oa back six miles to a aiding I made tt my first business to explain to Neighbor, nearbr beside blm-' self, that Bartholomew was not only not at fault, but that be bad actually eared tbe train by bis nenre.'

The ordinary dab thinks what he should have, done to avoid disaster after It la all over. . Bar tholomew thought before. ' . . s On we bumped, across frogs, through switches, over' sputa and Into target rods,' when and this Is tbe miracle of it all the 109 got her fore feet on split switch, made a contact, and, after a slew or two like a bogged horse, she swung up sweet on the- rails again. tender and alL, Bartholomew shut off with an under eat that brought us up double and nailed her feet, with the air. right where she stood.
