BALLHGMT TO CONTINUE By Louis Joseph Vance NO TMUTH IN HUMOM THAT t TIIMINT It HIACMfD CHAPTER XXXIU Light Engine. Toward the close of that ommr'i day It was the blm of thai rch man ad T of (tioairlrala whom niia call late to stage an autlcilmai In the midst of vast and hilly ripanae of desolate middle western country 4 rude and rusgtd dWk of earth which, boasted no buiuan tenancy within ft cirri of Iti far-flung borlion and was bisected, not neatly, rather Irregular ly, by the flowing double line of steel ribbons which marked the railroad's right of way over the old tnnia Fa trail Bo much for the stage: the light ef fects were proTldid exclusively by the ciiniaon and purple and gold of a por tentous sunset; the properties em ployed were simply special train and what la known aa a light engine (mean ing a locomotive unhandlcappcd by 'care); audience there was none, If one except the actors who were one and all far too deeply preoccupied with the Interpretation of their several roles to be aware of the ihow. They were not many In number: perhaps half a doien aboard the spe cial train which was making away aa fait as It could run toward the glory of the sunset; as many more aboard the light engine. It was the engineer who started the trouble. After bringing bla monster to a full pause, be turned upon his passengers and not without plausible excuse violently Indicted Mr. Alan Law for abuse of bis and bis fir, man's trustfulness. This the said fire man (climbing forward over the ten der) vigorously applauded. They bad been engaged, both gentle men asserted vigorously, for nothing more dangerous than a quick run across the prairies. In furtherance of the unspecified plans of Mr. Alan Law and his companion, Miss Judith Trine. After starting out, they "had wickedly and maliciously been bribed by the said Law to put on speed and catch up with the special. In order that he might rescue from the latter a young woman, his bride-to-be and the sister of Miss Trine. But and here was the grievance they hadn't bargained to be shot at with pistols. And precisely that out rage had been put upon them during and subsequent to the moment of res cue. It was unhappy Mr. Barcus who pre cipitated the affair. This gentleman was suffering from a severe sprain to his sense of decent pride. In the serv ice of Miss Rose Trine and her be trothed, Mr. Law, Barcus bad black ened his face and hands to the hue of ebony and bad garmented himself In the garb of a Pullman porter, surren dering himself to humiliating service to those aboard the special, suffering their Insolence and scorn without a murmur, but with the tides of wrath mounting ever higher in hie bosom. And now, when at length he had won his freedom from that ignomini ous servitude, it was only to be sworn at and vilified, as a common nigger, by railroad bands! It was the fireman (to be just) who brought the row to a focus by a slight ing reference to that "shiftless and misbegotten dlnge." He repented quite promptly. Mr. Barcus jumped for bis throat with a f7 M - - One of His Arms Was Around Shoulder. Her I l.W,IH.Mit 1 - , 2 ' r . ; bellow of rage. The brakeman leaped ' for his shovel and brandished It threat s enlugly. Mr. Barcus made nothing of that: he closed in without hesitation and got the fireman by the throat, pro- ! ceeding to shake the breath out of his body with the greatest good will and dispatch. In the course of this enter tainment the fireman slipped on the j -cab platform, trod on nothing, and went over backwards, taking Mr. Bar cus with him to the ballast. At almost the same moment Mr. Law, attempting to restrain the engi neer from going to the assistance of his fellow-worker, ducked in under a vicious swing for his chin, grappled with his foe, tripped him up and went with his to the ground on the oppo site Bide of the locomotive from that occupied by Mr. Barcus and the fire man. For the next several seconds he waa very busy indeed keeping bis face out of the ballast The engineer was & heavy man, but active and infuriated. He fought like demon unchained. It was all very exciting. Mr. Law wag even beginning to enjoy It whin be heard a woman hrlck. At the. same liittant revolwrs begun to pip. Mr. Law rrh-aaed lilt foe almost aa quickly as he was reKaned Both ro as "no man, to find Judith Trine be. side them, a little, amlle of excitement playing round hrr t.ps as she locked up t!.e trsk and watched the special t!.i down to a stop evrral persons ou the buck platform pljlng busy trig ger ringers all the while. Aa these last threw open the plat form gates and dropped to the ballast, still perforating the air with many bul lets, Mr. Law, Miss Judith Trine, and that tale belligerent, tho engineer, turned simultaneously and sought the rear of the tender.

Alan tassed him at a round i wt contrary of Its semblance; i eating them to Alan and Unas. pace, pausing only long enough to selre Hose' and drar her with blm toward the special. Judith flung blm a phrase of well-meant advice In passing: "Come along, you simpleton unless you want to be shot down where you stand!" Mr. Parvus acted on that advice, ss Immediately as resentfully. Judith Trine was little before hlra at tho steps of the Pullman : Mr. I .aw bad al ready assisted Rose aboard. Mr. Par ous ungraciously gave place to the lady: bis Ingrained chivalry sorely strained by bullets that kicked among the ballast round bis feet. CHAPTER XXXIII. Pultman. "Come Inside," Law suggested, "and Introduce me to the brakeman. I pre sume I've got to fix things up with him" "If there's really any doubt In your mind as to that," Barcus suld. rising, "I don't mind telling you you're right." He paused as Alan entered the car before him and was greeted by a storm of vituperation that fairly blistered the panels of the Pullman. Mr. Seneca Trine, helpless In bis invalid chair, thus celebrated his Introduction to the young man whom he had never before eeen whose life he bad schemed to take these many years. Ills heavy voice boomed and echoed through the car like the sounding of a tocsin. Alan made no effort to respond, but listened with his head critically to one side and an exasperating expres sion of deep interest informing his countenance until Mr. Trine was out of breath and vitriol; when the younger man bowed with the slight est shade of mockery in his manner and waved a tolerant hand to Barcus. "He has, no doubt," Alan inquired, "his own private cell aboard this car?" "Yas, suh!" Barcus agreed, aping well the manner of his apparent caste and color. "Ain't dat de troof?" "Take him away, then," Alan re quested wearily "If you please." "Yas, suh!" Barcus replied, with nimble alacrity seizing the back of the wheeled chair and swinging it round for a spin up the length of the car. Before Trine had recovered enough to curse him properly, the door to hla drawing room was closed and Barcus was ambling back down the aisle. His grin of relish at this turning of the tables on the monomaniac proved, however, phort-llved. It erased itself in a twinkling when Judith shouldered roughly past him, wearing a sullen and forbidding countenance, and Sung herself Into the drawing room with her father. The cause of her temper was not far to seek: at the far end of the car Alan was bending solicitously over the chair in which Rose was resting. One of his arms was around her shoulder. Her face was lifted confidently to his. Barcus mused morosely on his ap prehension of trouble a-brew, simmer lug over the waxing fire of that etrange woman's Jealousy. He didn't like the prospect at all. If only Alan and Rose hadn't been so desperately in love that they couldn't keep away from one another! If only Alan had been sen Bible enough to outwit the woman and leave ber behind when he started In pursuit of the special! If only there had not been that light engine In pur suit as Barcus firmly believed It must be loaded to the guards with Trlne's unscrupulous hirelings! No telling when they might catch up! The fear of this laet catastrophe worked together with his fears of Ju dlth to render that night a sleepless one for Barcus. He Bpent It in a chair whence he could watch both the door to the compartment Judith had chosen for her own (formerly Marrophat's quarters) and the endless ribbons of steel that swept beneath the tracks. But nothing happened. He napped uneasily from time to time, waking with a start of fright, but always to find nothing amiss. Ever Judith stopped behind that closed door, and ever the track behind was Innocent of the glare of a pursuing headlight. Nor did anything untoward mark the progress of the morning unless, in deed, Judith's protracted sessions with her father behind the closed floor of the drawing room were to bo counted ominous. Ever since lunch-time the girl bad been closeted with her father; Barcus had been getting some well-earned and sorely-needed rest in bis quarters; Alau standing bis watch on the obser vation platform, in company with Rose; and the train booming along through an uncouth wilderness of arid mountains, barren mesas, and suo 'smitten Bats given over to the desolate1 gmlus of sagebrush. J Whatever had been the tenor of thoj communication between father and ' daughter. Judith, evenftially emerged. from the drawing room In an ominous temper, llarcua, coining drowsily ' away from bis compartment at the same time, was jarred wide awake by sight of the foreboding countenance ' she wore; and after a moment of doubt followed ber back to the lounge at the rear of the car. He got there In time tt ceVr at rigid standstill, staring steadfastly at the' two figures so close together on the observation plntrm. Hut on his appearance Judith shook herself together, tfuatched up niigcatlue. and plunged wrathfully Into an easy chair, ! burying ber nose between the pages of "Je publication wun every inuuauoo 1 of deep Interest In Its text. ! Mr. Partus, however, had learned though even this was no reliable rule. ! Reminding htmsflf of this, he there- , for" Invented a morbid Interest In an- other magarlne round the edge of which he kept wary eye upon the young woman. For all her exasperation, Judith con tained herself longer than might have been expected. Her continued show ' f placidity. Indeed, lulled Itarcus Into a dangerous feeling of security, i'er- suaded that sho meant to behave, he gradually ceased to watch her as nar rowly as at first, and lot-t himself In ft morose reverie whose subject was the seemingly permanent mourning Into which he had plunged hla face and Struck the Caboose With a Crash hands for the purposes of bis mas querade staining them a shade of ebony upon which soap and water and scrubbing had no effect whatever. And he had Invented a most excruciating method of revenging himself upon the druggist who had takun advantage of his confidence and Bold him the In eradlable dye when be was roused by the sudden flight of a magazine across the car, missing his head by a bare two inches, and the bang of a chair overturned by Judith as she Jumped up and flung herself furiously toward' the door. Just what had happened on the ob servation platform Harcus didn't know, but he could readily believe that the lovers had Just Indulged in Borne espe cially provoking and long-drawn-out caress. He overhauled Judith none too soon. In another momeut she wculd have had her sister by the throat If her purpose had not been to throw Rose bodily overboard, as Barcus suspected. Happily, he was as quick on his feet as Judith on hers; and almost before he had grasped the situation, he had grasped her had seized her arms and drawn them forcibly behind her back, at the same time swinging her round and endeavoring to propel her back through the doorway. It was a man-flize Job. For the ensu ing five minutes he had his hands full of violently resentful and superbly able-bodied young woman. Only with the greatest difficulty did ha succeed in wrestling her up the aisle and to the door of her compartment, where nn even more furious resistance for some additional minutes prefaced the ultimate closing of tho door upon the maddened Judith. Even then ho might not draw a free breath: there waa no way of locking that door from the out side; and he dared not leave go the handle, lest the girl again fly out and renew the battle. Waving aside Alan's proffer of as sistance, he acidly advised that gen tleman to return to his post of duty ana noi lei nis mriuuuuon rjlina mm i to what might at any moment loom', up on the track behind them, Barcus' Btoutly held the door against the girl's attempt to pull it open and through another period when she occupied her self with kicking its panels as if hope ful of breaking a way out. A long pause followed. He heard no sounds from within. And wearying, he won- dered what the devil she was up to.; Then her voice penetrated the barrier,! Its accents calm and not unamiable: : "Mr. Barcus!" "Hello!" he replied, startled. "What la It, Miss Judith?" "Please let me out" "Not much." "Oh please!" j Struck by the fact that she hsdn't! lost her temper on bearing his refusal, be hesitated. It was very true that he i couldn't stay there forever, holding on j to that knob. -Will y-m be good If I let you outf" -I't-i fe.tly." "No more sbeiiaiitganr "I proml " "W ord nf honor f "If my word cf honor means any. thing to )oii-)ou have II." "Well . . .P be said dubiously. In the same humor ho turned and re leased the kuob; promptly Judith opened It wide and swept out Into the corridor, ber mood Cow one of really etching mockery. Tbauk )oU so muchl she laughed Into his face of discomfiture, and drop- plug bliu an Ironic curtsy, she turned, forward and swung Into ti n diawlng room occupied by Trine. "Wonder what she put that on forP he speculated, with reference to thoj ankle long Pullman wrapcr which Ju dith had seen fit 10 don during bar period of captivity. "lleatcti knows It's hot enough without wearing more clothing than decency demands . . And his long conference, with Alan , Bnd Hose on the observation platform afforded Judith ample opportunity lu, which undetected to suborn the train crew to treachery. Whether she did or Dot, this Is what happened In ths course of the next hour: tho special waa forced to take a siding to make way for the California limited, east-bound; and when this had pussed, the engine of the special coughed apologetically and pulled swiftly out, leaving tho Pullman stalled on the siding. From the rear of the tender the brakemnn and fireman waved affecting farewells to the Indlgnnnt faces of Like the Explosion of a Cannon. Alan and BareuB when they showed In the front doorway. CHAPTER XXXIV. Hand Car. "Well!" Mr. Barcus broke silence whose eloquence may not be translated in print "can you beat it?" "Not with this outfit," Alan admit ted gloomily. "But damn It! we've got to." "Profanity even yours, my friend won't make this Pullman move without an engine." "All the same, wo can't stop here like bumps ou a log, waiting for that gang of thugs to sail up In the light engine and cut our blessed throats." Mr. Law answered this unanBwer-i able contention only with a shrug. Then, Btepplng out on the forward platform of the Pullman, he cant a; hopeless eye ovor the luudscape. ' Raw, rugged hills hemmed In tho i right of way, hills whose vast flanks' were covered with dense thickets of' mesqulte, chnpparal, sagebrush and' cacti, the haunt of owls nnd rattlo-1 . suuaes auu-soiiiu ie. .no way or ea-, ; i'ujjo iruin imu jjuckcl in mo uiutf um er than by the railroad itself, He lowered his gazo to tho tracks and siding and started sharply. "Eh what now?" Barcus Inquired with interest. "Some thoughtful body has left .an old hand car over there In tho ditch," Alan replied. "Maybe It iBn't boyond service " "With mo supplying the horsepower, I suppose! " "Horse isn't tho word," Alan cor rected meticulously; and escaped tho other's wrath by dropping down to tho ballast and trotting over to the ditch, where the hand car lay. "Looks as If It might work," he an nounced. "Come along and lend me a hand." "Half a minute," Barcus answered, dodging suddenly back into the car. When he reappeared, after some five minutes. Rose accompanied him, and' Barcus was smiling as brilliantly as though nothing whatever was wrong with his world. "Sorry to keep you waiting, old top," he explained; "but I was smitten with an inspiration. There didn't seem to be any sense in letting the amiable' Judith loose upon this fair land, so I found a coil of wire in the Dortor'a cloBot-and wired the handle of the drawing room door fast to the bars ' rVUVi V i across the aisle. It'll take her some time to get out, now, without assist ance." Ten minutes more had passed before the two grimy and perspiring gentle men succeeded In placing the hand car upon the tracks. "It's a swell little hand car," Bary cus observed grimly: "no wonder they threw it away." "What's the difference how It looks, as long as It will go r V? 1 "Put will IIP rsretis doubled.

"If we can only got owl of sight before tbey get here" j "IXm't worry." liareus advised: "that's a freight whistle" 1 "Maybe you can distinguish the 1 whistle of a freight from that of a pas snngnr Imln I don't say you can't; , but I'll take no chances on your Judg ment being good. Hop aboard here If 'you're coming with us!" Hlowly the band car stirred on He grease-hungry and complaining atlee; Slowly It gathered momentum and urged noisily up the track as Alan, and Harcus, on opposite sides of Hie handlebar, allernalely roa and fell bark; slowly It mounted the slight grade to the bend In the track. roundd It, lost sight of the stalled Pullman, on the siilng and began to move more swiftly on a moderate down grade. liohlnd It the thunder of an ap proaching train grew momentarily lit volume, lending color to the theory ol Mr. Harcus that what they had heard I bad been the whistle of a freighter rather than of the light angina. Hut Juat as AUn was about to advocate leaving the tracks and taking the hand car with them, to clear the way for the train, its rumnis oegan io uumnisii, ' grew leas and beautifully less, and wa, Stilled. "What do you make, of IhatP Alan panted across the racking bar. ' "The obvious," Barcus returned. "The freight has taken the siding to , wait for some other through train to i paaa. We'll have lo look sharp and be ready to Jump." I The grade became a trace more j steep; the car moved with less reluo ' tance. , "Let go." Alan advised: 'It'll coast down the balance of this Incline and we'd better save our strength." Hut they bad barely regained their breath and mopped the streaming i went away from their eves when ft recond whistle, of different tone, startled both back lo their task. Catching tho rye of llarcua Alan Dodded despairingly. "Afraid It's all up with us now," be groaned; "that sounded precisely like the whistle of tho light engine." "Sure It did!" llarcua agreed. "It wouldn't he us If we bad any belter luck. Tho saints be praised for this grade!" For alt Its age and decrepitude the hand car made a very fair pace at the urge of ths two who rone and sagged axnln without reeplte'em either side the handlebar; and the grade was hap pily ling, turning and twisting like snake through the hills. A little grace was granted them, moreover, through the circumstance (as tlmy nft-'rward discovered) that the lleht en.-lno had stopped nt the siding long enou.'h to cnupln up Trlne's Pullman thus nutnnintlcnlly ceasing to he a light engine, ami becoming a special. It was fully a quarter of nn hour he fore the growing rum bio of tho latter warned the trio on tho band car, just OS It gained the end of the grndo and addressed ltKolf to ft lovel though tor- j tuoiw strotrh nf track. ) And nt this joint dlncovery of tho j switch of n itp'ir linn that fh-it off southward Into th" I'il'u furnished Alun with his linl 'pumltMit Inspiration. I Stopping the hand car after It had Jolted over tho frogs, he Jumped down, sot the switch to shunt tho pursuit oft to the spur, and leaped back upon the car. i Hardly had they succeeded In work ing tho hand car up round the shoulder of tho next bend when tho special took the switch without pnuee and tho roar of Its progress, shut off by nn Inter vening mountain, was suddenly stilled to a murmur. ' But even so, there was neither rest for tho weary nor much excuse for self-congratulation; tho rumblo of tho special was not altogether lost to hear ing when tho thunder of the freight rcr,luc(,u nr)(1 drowncd It out, Of a Buddcn, releasing tho handle bar, Alan stood up and slgued to Bar cus to lmltnto hie example. "Well 7" this last panted, when he 1 had obeyed. "Jump off leave tho hand car where It Is they'll have to stop to cloar It off the track." "And then?" "I'll buy a lift from thorn If It takes my Inst dollur In tho world," Alan promised. "It's our only hope. We can't keop up this heartbreaking bue ness forever nnd It can't be long bo fore Trine and Marrophat dluoover their mistake!" CHAPTER XXXV. Caboose. For onco, In a way, It fell out pre cisely as Mr. Law had planned end prayed. Constrained to pull up In ordor to re move the obstruction from the track. I the train crow of tho freight choked down its collective wrath on being pre sented with a sum of monoy. In the hopes of further largesse it lont Its j common ear to Alan's well-worn tale. which had bo frequently proved useful in similar emergencies, of an eloping , , . U Dy an ut,rcn''on"iS'Jr vlndlc'lv, and had Its hopes i , , rewarded by the price Alan bargained to pay In exchange for exclusive use of the caboose as far as the next town. So that it was not more than ten minutes before Rose waa settled to rest In such comfort as the caboose af forded, while Alan and Barcus sat within Its doorway and smoked. Neither he nor bow other aboard the freight suspected for an Instant that, In the box car next forward of the ca boose, woman In man's clothing lay perdue, bow and again chuckling Impishly lo herself In anticipation nf the Hum and Hie event she w,.s Mllng with suib patleuce as ah could mue tar.

Without hesitation, l-e the train was not running al speed, aim dropped nut to the ballast, wheeled smartly about, caught Ilia handhar si I tin end of the hoi car aa II passed and swung herself up between It and tint raliois. A trifle later the freight gained the summit of the grade and began to run I more smoothly. ' 1 Climbing In the lop of the box car she peered keenly through the gleam i Ing. which was not yet so dense that she might nt discern two heads pro- Judith Uncoupling ths Caboose. trading from the window of the spe cial's engine, one nn either side. At a venture, she simtehed off her cont and waved It wildly In the air. An arm answered the signal from one window of the pursuing locomo tive. Marrophat, of course! She turned nnd peered nhead.

As this happened, Alan nnd Harcus, already warned of nn emergency by tho slowing down of tho car, and for somo time ullvo to thn fact that the special wan again In pursuit, leaped out upon the ties and helped Itoso to alight Already tho lout of the freight was whisking off tho trestle, its crow thus fur iinconHi lotis of their Ions. And behind them tho apccjnl waa plunging forward at unabated spend. Thero was no tlmo to execute their plnn of tho first desperate Instunl to run along the ties to safety ou tho solid earth: tho dlnlanco wan too greut; they could not possibly nioko It With common Impulse the two tiinri glanced down to tho bottom of tho gully, then looknuV ut ench other with oyes Informed by common Inspiration. Ilarctm announced In a breath: "Thirty feet not moro." Alan replied: 'Tan you hold tho weight of the two of us for half a min ute?" Harcus shruggod: "I can try. We might as well oven If I can't." Whllo Bpnaklng, he wun lowering hltnenlf between tho tins. "All right," ho announood briefly, With a word to Hose, Alnn slipped down besldo Barcus, shifted IiIb hold to tho body of the latter, und cllmbod down ovor him until he was supported solely by tho grasp of his two hands on Barcus' ankles. Inistantly Itose followed him, slip ping llko a snake down over tho two men till sho In turn hung by hnr grnep on Alan's nnklos, then released her hold and dropped tho balance of the dlstunco to tho ground, a scant ten feot, landing without Injury. A thought lator Alan dropped lightly to her sldo, staggered a trifle, recor erod and dragged her out of the way. Barcus foil with a heavy thump and went upon his back, but demonstrated his lack of Injury by Immediately plok Ing himself up and Joining the othors In a mad scramble for safety. Overboad the special engine, hur tling onward like somo titanlo bolt. struck the caboose with a crash like the explosion of a cannon. It collapsed upon Itself like a thing of pastoboard. That It had been constructed of moro solid stuff was abundantly proved by the shower of timbers, splin ters and broken Iron that rained about the heads of the fugitives. For all that, the gods smiled upon them for their courage: they esoajed without a scratch. 7 Pif r i ii i-x :;. . :: P v ;'.., 1 -J- Z . "Y-'e v i t '- w ,. - -4 .".-,," i " .. nili'AUit.
