CHAPTER VI.—Continued.
“Not such a bad day, considering
the newness of us and the bridge at
the heed of the gulch,” he said, half
to himself. And then more pointedly
to the foreman: “Bridgebuilders to
the front at the first crack of dawn,
Mike. Why wasn’t this break filled
in the grading?”
“Sure, sorr, ’tis a dhrain it is," said
the Irishman; “from the placer up
heyant,” he added, pointing to . a
washed-out excoriation on the steep
upper slope of the mountain. ’Major
Evarts did be tellin’ us we'd have the
lawyers afther us hot-fut again if we
didn't be lavin' ut open the full
width.’’
‘'.Mmph," said Adams, looking the
:gronnd over with a critical eye. “u s
ta bad bit. It wouldn't take much to
bring that whole slide down on us if
it wasn't frozen solid. Who owns the
placer?”
“Two fellies over in Carbonate. The
company did be thryin' to buy the
claim, but the sharps wouldn’t sell—
bein’ put up to hold ut by thim C. &
G. R. divils. It’s more throuble we’ll
be havin’ here, I’m thinking.”
While taey lingered a shrill whistle
echoing among the cliffs of the upp:r
gorge like an eldritch laugh announced
the coming of a train from the direc
tion of Carbonate. Adams looked at
his watch.
“I’d like to know what that is,” he
mused. “It’s two hours too soon for
the accommodation. By Jove!”
The exclamation directed itself at a
one-car train which came thundering
down the canyon to pull in on the
siding beyond the Rosemary. The car
was a passenger coach, well .ighted,
and from his post on the embankment
Adams could see armed men filling the
windows. Michael Branagan saw
them, too, and the fighting Celt in
him rose to the occasion.
“ JTis Donnybrook Fair we've come
to this time, Misther Adams. Shall I
call up the b’ys wid their guns?”
"Not yet. Let’s wait and see what
happens.”
What happened was a peaceful
sortie. Two men, each with a kit of
some kind borne in a sack, dropped
from the car, crossed the creek and
struggled up the hill through the un
bridged gap. Adams waited until they
were fairly or. the right of way, then
lie called down to them.
"Halt, there' you two. This is cor
poration property.”
“Not much it ain t! retorted one of
the trespassers, gruffly. “It’s the
drain-way from our placer up yonder.”
“What are you going to do up there
at this time of night?”
"None o’ your blame business!” was
the explosive counter-shot.
"Perhaps it isn’t,” said Adams, mild
ly. "Just the same, I'm thirsting to
know. Call it vulgar curiosity if you
like.”
“All right, you can know, and be
cussed to you. We’re goin’ to work
our claim. Got anything to say
against it?”
“Oh, no,” rejoined Adams; and when
the twain had disappeared in the up
per darkness he went down the grade
with Branagan and took his place on
the man-loaded flats for the run to
the construction camp, thinking more
of the lately arrived car with its com
plement of armed men than of the
two miners who had calmly announced
their intention of working a placer
claim on a high mountain, without
water, and in the dead of winter! By
which it will be seen that Mr. Morton
P. Adams, C. E. Inst. Tech. Boston,
had something yet to learn in the
matter of practical field work.
By the time Ah Foo had served him
his solitary supper in the dinkey he
had quite xorgotten the incident of the
mysterious placer miners. Worse
than that, it had never occurred to
him to conne-t their movements with
the Uajah's plan of campaign. On the
other hand, he was thinking altogeth
er of the carload c . armed men. and
trying to devise some means of finding
out how tney were to be employed in
furthering the Rajah’s designs.
The means suggested themselves
after supper, and he went alone over
to Argentine to spend a half-hour in
the bar of the dance hall listening to
the gossip of the place. When he had
learned what he wanted to know, he
forthfared to meet Winton at the in
coming train.
“We are in for it now,” he said,
when they had crossed the creek to
the dinkey and the Chinaman was
bringing Winton's belated supper.
"The Rajah has imported a carload
cf armed mercenaries, and he is going
to clean us all out to-morrow; arrest
everybody from the gang foreman up.”
Winton’s eyebrows lifted. “So? that
is a pretty large contract. Has he
men enough to do it?”
“Not so many men. But they are
sworn-in deputies with the sheriff of
,Ute county in command—a posse, in
fact. So he has the law on his side.”
"Which is more than he had when
he set a thug on me this afternoon at
Carbonate,” said Winton, sourly; and
he told Adams about the misunder
standing in the lobby of the Bucking
ham.
The technologian whistled under his
breath. “By Jove! that's pretty rough
Do you suppose the Rajah dictated
any such Lucretia Borgia thing as
that?”
Winton took time to think about it
and admitted a doubt, as he had not
before. Believing Mr. Somerville Dar
rah fit for treasons, stratagems, and
spoils in his official capacity of vice
president of a fighting corporation, he
was none the less disposed to find ex
cuses for Miss Virginia Carteret’s
uncle.
“I did think so at first, but I guess
It was only the misguided zeal of some
understrapper. Of course, word has
gone out all along the C. & G. R. line
that we are to be delayed by every
possible expedient"*
But now Adams had also taken time
to think, and he shook his head.
“For common humanity's sake I
wish I could agree with you, Jack.
But I can’t. Mr. Darrah dictated that
move in his own proper person.”
“How do you know that?”
Adams' answer took the form of a
leading question. "You had a mes
sage from me this afternoon?”
“I did.”
“What did. you think of it?”
; "I though: you might have left out
the first part of it; also that you
might have made the latter half a
good bit more explicit if you had put
your mind to it.”
A slow smile spread itself over the
technologian’s impassive face, and he
lighted another cigarette.
“Every man has nis limitations,” he
said. “I did the best I could under
the existing circumstances. But you
will understand: the Rajah knew very
well w'hat he was about—otherwise
there would have been no telegram.”
Winton sent the Chinaman out for
another cup of tea before he said:
"Did Miss Carteret come here alone?”
“Oh, no; Calvert came with her.”
“What brought them here?”
Adams spread his hands.
“What makes any woman do pre
cisely the most unexpected thing?
Y'ou’ll have to go back of me—say to
Confucius or beyond—to find that
| out.”
Winton was silent for a moment,
balancing his spoon on the tip of his
finger. Finally he said: “I hope you
did what you could to make it pleas
ant for her—not that there was much
to be don^ in such a God-forsaken
chaos as a construction camp.”
“I did. And I didn't hear her com
plain of the chaos. She seemed as in
] terested as a school girt—particularly
: in your sketches.”
“That was low-down in you, Morty.
I wouldn't have shown you up that
j way.”
Adams chuckled reminiscently. “Had
I to do it to make my day-bel’ore-yester
day lie hold water. And she was im
mensely taken with the scrawls, es
pecially with one of them.”
Winton flushed under the bronze.
r **
"IT'S jrST ABOUT AS I EXPECTED."
“I suppose I don’t need to ask which
one.”
Adams' grin was a measure of his
complacence. He was coming off
easier than he had anticipated.
"Well, hardly.”
"She took it away with her?”
“Took it, or tore it up, I forget
which. ’
Winton’s look was that of a man
distressed.
“Tell me, Morty, was she very an
gry?”
The technologian took the last hint
! of laughter out of his eyes before he
I said solemnly: “You'll never know
| how thankful I was that you were
J 20 miles away.”
Winton’s cup was full, and he turned
the talk abruptly to the industrial do
ings and accomplishments of the day.,
, Adams made a verbal report which led
i him by successive steps up to the
i twilight hour when he had stood with
Branagan on the brink of the placer
drain, but, strangely enough, there was
no stirring of memory to recall the in
cident of the upward climbing miners.
When Winton rose he said some
! thing about mounting a night guard
! on the engine, which was kept under
steam at all hours; and shortly after
wards he left the dinkey ostensibly
; to do it. declining Adams’ offer of
company. But once out-of-doors -e
: climbed straight to the operator's tent
I on the snow-covered slope. Carter
had turned in, but he sat up in his
; bunk at the noise of the intrusion,
blinking sleepily at the flare of Win
ton’s match.
“That you. Mr. Winton? Want to
send something?” he asked.
“No; go to sleep. I’ll write a wire
and leave it for you to send in the
morning.”
He sat aown at the packing-case in
strument table and wrote out a brief
report of the day’s progress in track
laying for the general manager's rec
ord. But when Carter’s regular breath
ing told him he was alone he pushed
the pad aside, took down the sending
book and searched until he had found
the original cpiy of the message
which hud reached him at the moment
of cataclysms in the lobby of the
Buckingham.
“Urn,” he said, and his heart grew
ers were getting out their hand car
at the construction camp, the wheels
shrilling merrily on the frosted rails,
and the men stamping and swinging
their arms to start the sluggish night
blood. Suddenly, like the opening gun
of a battle, the dull rumble of a
mighty explosion trembled upon the
still air, followed instantly by a sound
of a passing avalanche.
Winton was out and running up the
track before the camp was fairly
aroused. What he saw when he
gained the hither side of the lateral
gulch was a sight to make a strong
man weep. A huge landslide, starting
from the frozen placer ground high
up on the western promontory, had
swept every vestige of track and em
bann.,uent into the deep bed of the
creek at a point precisely opposite Mr.
Somerville Darrah’s private car.
CHAPTER VII.
An early riser by choice, and made
an earlier this morning by a vague
anxiety which had turned the right
into a half-waking vign for her. Vir
ginia was up and dressed when the
sullen shock of the explosion set the
windows jarring in the Rosemary.
Wondering what dreadful thing had
happened. Bhe hurried out upon the
observation platform and so came to
look upon the ruin wrought by the
landslide, while the dust-like smoke of
the dynamite still hung in the air.
“Rather unlucky for our friends the
enemy,” said a colorless voice behind
her; and she had an uncomfortable
feeling that Jastrow had been lying in
wait for her, seconded instantly by the
conviction that he had done the same
thing the previous morning.

I expected; Morty didn’t have any
thing whatever to do with it—except
to sign and send it as she commanded
him to.” And the penciled sheet was
folded carefully and filed in perma
nence in the inner breast pocket of
his brown duck shooting coat.
The moon was rising behind the
eastern mountain when he extin
guished the candle and went out. ±>e
low lay the chaotic construction camp
buried in silence and In darkness save
for the lighted windows of the dinkey.
He was not quite ready to go back to
Adams, and after making a round of
the camp and bidding the engine
watchman keep a sharp lookout
against a possible night surprise, he
set out to walk over the newly laid
track of the day.
Another half-hour had elapsed, and
a waning moon was clearing the top
most crags of Pacific Peak when he
came out on the high embankment op
posite the Rosemary, having traversed
the entire length of the lateral loop
and inspected the trestle at the gulch
head by the light of a blazing fir
branch.
The station with its two one-car
trains, and the shacks of the little
mining camp beyond, lay shimmering
ghost-like in the new-born light of the
moon. The engine of the sheriff’s car
was humming softly with a note like
the distant swarming of bees, and
from the dance hall in Argentine the
snort of trombone and the tinkling
clang of a cracked piano floated out
upon the frosty night air.
Winton turned to go back. The
windows of the Rosemary were all
dark, and there was nothing to stay
for. So he thought, at all events; but
it he had not been musing abstracted
ly upon things widelj' separated from
his present surroundings, he might
have remarked two tiny stars of lan
tern light high on the placer ground
above the embankment; or, failing
the sight, he might have heard the
dull, measured slumph of a churn-drill
burrowing deep in the frozen earth of
the slope.
As it was, a pair of brown eyes
blinded him. and the tones of a voice
sweeter than the songs of Oberon’s
sea maid tilled his ears. Whereiore
he neither saw nor heard; and taking
the short cut across the mouth of the
lateral gulch back to camp, he boarded
the dinkey and went to bed without
disturbing Adams.
The morning of the day to come
broke clear and still, with the stars
paling one by one at the pointing fin
ger of the dawn, and the frost-rime
lying thick and white like a snowfall
of erect and glittering needles on iron
and steel and wood.
Obedient to orders, the bridge build
The Automobile Seventy-Three Years Ago.,
Hancock's steam-coach, which plied between London and Greenwich, resembled two stage-coaches on end,
with a third compartment like a mail or luggage van. It was mentioned in the Parliamentary Report of 1833 as
a machine in daily use on common roads. The Report continues, “Mr. Hancock reckons that with his carriage
he could keep up a speed of ten miles per hour, without injury to the machine.”

tell lorg before be reaches it if a
switch which the train Is approaching
is open or closed, and he knows at a
glance just how far ahead or behind
him is any other train, in whichever
direction it may be going.
The system would do away entirely
with telegraph operators at way sta
tions, so far as delivering and receiv-i
ing orders are concerned. It would
even be possible for trains to run un
der this system without a a despatch
er, as each train would know at any
time where other trains were located.
This, of course, would be impractica
ble, as it would give free rein to train
crews to run too much at will.
Power for the system is furnished
by either storage batteries or dyna
mos. Once installed the system would
be inexpensive, as the first cost would
be the greatest. It is adaptable to
electric roads as well as to steam rail
roads.
Steiner, who is a rural mail-carrier,
first began to think of his invention
two years ago when he heard railroad
men on a train discuss the problem of
railroad accidents and their preven
tion. He then resolved to use his me
chanical talent and ability in that di
rection, and he hopes that he will soon
see the results of his labor in general
use.
SCENTS BURIED TREASURE.
Man Finds Mark of Vessel That May
Have Held Gold.
Fort Worth. Tex.—While looking
over his pasture in Reed county Mr.
Dillard, who lives near Thorp Springs,
was attracted by a mound of fresh
earth. Upon investigation it was. dis
covered that a hole had been dug and
at the bottom was the imprint of
some kind of a vessel that had been
removed.
The place is particularly marked,
the excavation being in the center of
four roughly hewn stones, set in a
square and sunk almost out of sight
in the earth. A short distance from
this square is another stone with a
hatchet sketched on its surface, the
edge of the hatchet blade pointing di
rectly to the place where the excava
tion was made.
Mr. Dillard says he had often no
ticed the stones, but supposed they
were simply an old landmark. The

supposition is that the vessel con
tained money and the find may be con
nected with an old story that has been
told in that section ever since it was
first settled.
This story is that in the country
between Comanche peak and Robin
son creek a large quantity of gold had
been buried by parties who on their
return from the goldfields of Califor
nia were attacked and killed by the
Indians then infesting the country.

anything to do with other persons for
20 years, will be visited by the health

HAS CURE FOR JUNGLE FEVER.
Dr. Senn Returns from Africa, Where
He Studied All Phases of Malady.
Chicago.—Dr. Nicholas Senn, who
has just returned from Africa, where
he studied every phase of fever pre
valent there, hopes to include in his
forthcoming book some suggestions
of great value in the treatment of the
disease. He went to Beira, on the
east coast of Africa, and journeyed
up the Zambezi river into the coun
try known as the death trap. Dr.
Senn devoted himself especially to
discovering some means of checking
the disease in its incipient stages, its
devastating effect being largely due
to the fact that the symptoms have
been allowed to develop unimpeded.
Dr. Senn is said to have found some
specific which strikes at the root of
the malady to replace the copious
doses of quinine which have been al
most the sole medical agent used in
the tropics.
Dr. Senn followed the course of
Dr. Jameson and his raiders during
the Boer war and studied the sturdy

Dutch settlers who made such a vigor
ous stand against the British govern
ment in South Africa.
Beard Is Eight Feet Long.
Ortonville, Mich.—W. L. Guiles, of
this place, is 58 years of age, and it is
his proud boast that a razor has not
touched his face in 20 years. During
all this time his whiskers have con
tinued to grow, and to-day they are a
little over eight feet in length, about
three feet of his remarkable hirsute
adornment resting on the ground when
he has his beard unfurled. The whis
kers, however, occasion him little in
convenience, as he keeps them done
up with hairpins under his chin except
on rare occasions. As they are pinned
in place for him at home and the
process is an intricate and difficult
one, he never lets his whiskers down
outside of his own home circle, not
because he isn’t proud of the distinc
tion he enjoys, but for the simple rea
son that he has not acquired the knack
of getting his whiskers neatly back
in place again.

SEEK EDEN ON THE PACIFIC.
Self-Styled Adam Leads Band of Half
Clad Followers.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—James F.
Sharp, who says he is Adam, and a
band of half clad followers numbering
about 50. marched through the streets
the other day from their abandoned
camp outside the city. They are on
their way to the Pacific coast. Sharp,
as will be remembered, led a parade
of nude persons through the streets
here about a year ago, which resulted
in several arrests and one of the band
being sent to the asylum.
Sharp returned here a few weeks
ago and established a camp east of
town, where many of his followers
went without clothing, under the be
lief that they were in the Garden of
Eden. They were arrested time and
time again, and fined.
In the parade through the streets
were many little children, who had
marched for eight miles without stop
ping, and were hardly able to walk.
Covered wagons containing a dozen
or more babies brought up the rear of
the parade.

Monopolies Hit by Decision.
Milwaukee, Wis.—Judge Seaman
administered a blow to monopolies in
restraint of trade in bis decision the
other day in favor of the J. I. Case
company in the “wind stacker” case.
The suit was brought by the Indiana
Manufacturing company to recover
royalties on a patent stacker. All
thrashing machine makers have been
compelled to pay royalties to the In
diana concern, which owns 200 pat
ents. The Case company some time
ago invented a sticker of its own and
declined to continue the royalties.
Judge Seaman, in his decision, con
fined himself to the claim that the
contract with the Indiana concern was
j in violation of the Sherman law. He
held that the grant of a patent cre
ated a lawful monopoly, and con
tinued:
“Nevertheless, I am of the opinion
that the monopoly thus secured, to be
immune from the anti-trust act, must
be referable Bolely to the invention
under the patent, and that a combina
1 tioa of licenses formed thereunder
may create a monopoly which exceeds
the legitimate scope of the patent priv
ilege."
Aged Man to Give Up Riches.
South Haven, Mich.—Although he is
73 years old and has been obliged to
work as a street sweeper to earn a
living, Edward Pinchin says he will
give away the $60,000 which he re
cently inherited from a relative in
England and remain at his work.
Pinchin’s life has been a long series
of misfortunes. Now that he has an
opportunity to take advantage of good
fortune he has decided that his money
would do more good for others than :
for himself. “I am an old man and
won’t live long,” he said. “I know
what it is to want things and not to be
able to have them. So I think I’ll give
away the money to persons who are in
want and keep on sweeping streets.”
Women generally regard their wom
en associates with a feeling akin to

Kansas Town to Be Moved.
Topeka, Kan.—Ora J. Gould, founder
of Englewood, Chicago, has begun the
work of moving the town of Engle

DEVICES INTENDED TO MAKE
RAILROAD TRAVEL SAFER.
Inventions Recently Patented by an
Indiana Man Which Are Hoped to
Do Away Entirely with Pres
ent Despatching System.
Indianapolis, Ind.—Elmer E. Steiner, j
of Knightstown. has just patented two I
devices invented by him which he {
hopes will prevent many railroad acci
dents and make travel on trains much
safer than it is at present.
Steiner's devices do away with the !
present despatching system and put in
its stead an automatic system. He I
worked for two years on his inven
tions. and he thinks he has succeeded, j
He says his system has the following
advantages:
It does away with all possibility of
rear or head-on collisions, as each
train crew knows at any time just
where all the others are.
It is security against any train run
ning into an open switch, as the reg
ister on each train shows whether the
switch be open or closed.
It does away with telegraph opera
tors, thus saving millions in salaries
to the companies using it.
The system “cannot go to sleep at i
the instrument or the switch” and can 1
work 24 hours a day without food, i
fatigue or pay.
Being purely mechanical, it is infal- '
lible, and cannot make a mistake or ,
misinterpret orders,” and even if it
could disaster would be impossible.
It does away with the necessity of
making stops for any purpose except
to take on or discharge passengers or !
freight.
"With the train reporting system,”
said Steiner, “a railroad may be
equipped at regular intervals of any
distance desired with stations in the
track bed, each of these stations be
ing connected by circuits of electric
wires with the central office. When
ever a train passes over one of the sta
tions it automatically registers the
number of the train and the number
of the station, so that the central
despatcher can tell at any moment just
where any train is.
“In addition, every switch on the
iinirwnwMBHiwnBwii
line is equipped with stations, and the
minute a train enters a siding the de
spatcher will be notified by it by the
automatic register of the number of
the train. A switch is always regis
tered open or closed, and if one is in
advertently left open the register will
show it, and an approaching train can
be advised of it from the central of
fice.”
With the intercommunicating sys
tem — his second device — attached,
there is nothing left to be desired in
a system of train despatching. By
means of this system the central de
spatcher may communicate order to
an engineer, conductor or train crew,
either while the train is standing still
or moving, and in the same manner
the crew can answer the orders. The j
system is so arranged that each train
makes a constant circuit with the cen
tral office, and each train is constantly ;
in a circuit with every other train on |
the same division. Thus one train
crew can communicate with any other
crew, and the register on one train
will show just where every other train
on the road is at any given time. An
engineer can look at the register and

.Constant Backache, Dropsy and Se
vere Bladder Trouble.
Fred W. Harris, of Chestnut St., Jef

years I suffered from
kidney disease. The

swell and remain
puffed up for days at
a time. I seemed
to have a constant

got so bad that I

SECOND HAND MAIL BOXES.
Why a Little Village May Have Big
Numbers in Its Post Office.
The man who was spending his
summer variation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
in the rural post office.
“I did not know this was such a
large place,” he said. “I thought it
had a population of only about 4,00^
but the mail box numbers run much
higher thar. that, and I don't suppose
every one in town rents a box either.”
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window.
"I can explain that." he said. “You
see the country post offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
mate over their offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num
ber boxes.
‘‘Although our numbers run over
4.000, you won't find any less than
1.000, some other country post office
drew the lower ones. I myself would
rather get the big numbers, for it
makes us 3eem like a bustling little
city.” _
Swords Into a Plow.
During the centennial celebration In
Philadelphia in 1876 the members of
the Universal Peace union assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary of
the foundation of the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a plow as a symbol of
peace. The weapons were afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement which, however, instead of
being a plow, took the shape of the
ordinary field cultivator.
This cultivator may now be seen in
the hall an Geneva, Switzerland. Over
it is an inscription giving the history
of the implement.
Rather Rough.
Above the stairway there flickered a
candle and then a deep voice called
from the shadows:
