You're superintendent a well a engineer. I wish you'd try to clear op tliln poult.. J- M01i, If simple enough 1 The rail road people won't furnish us cart enough. I could ship a hundred car loads tomorrow If I bad the cars, but I haven't got 'cm, and I can't get 'em." "Do you iix-an that you are offering coal a freight to this railroad and the road Is refusing Itr ."Yes, that's about It I've asked for cars and can't get 'em, except a few each day." ' "Do the other mine along this little branch railroad hove the same trou ble r , There is only one other mine on this line." ' i ; "Well., does it encounter the same difficulty lnnarketing Its coal 7" ' "Not-et toast not to so great an ex tent You sec, somebody there Is standing in with the railroad people-. I supposo they've had a little block of stock given to them-the railroad peo pl, I mean. So the Quentln mines get all the cars they want and we get only their leavings." "Well now, Mr. Davidson, I give you this order: Set to work at once and bring out every ton of coal you've got ready lu the mine. There'll be cars here to haul It when you get It ready. Good nl),-bt Mr. Davidson. I'll talk with you another time about the other matter. I have a good deal to do tonight so I can't talk further with you now." . Davidson went out after a grudging "Good night" Duncan did not yet know or suspect though be was pres ently to find out that to Davidson, also, the proprietors of the rival mine were paying a little trlbuto as a re ward for silence and for making trouble.- , Duncan sat for an hour writing let ters. One of them was addressed to the general freight agent of the little railroad ou wblch the mine was sit uated. It read as follows: Within six oar X shall have 100 ear loads of coal, at th mouth of this mine, read? for shipment upon orders.' After that time I shall bare about sixty car loads ready for shipment each day. Pleas see to It that aa adequate supply of ears to more this frelfht are side tracked, bare on Uis . Duncan signed that letter with all needed circumspection. The signature read: , ' . for th Redwood Coal and Iron com pany, Oullford Duncan, manaaer and at torney at law and la (act for th com pany. , That subscription was Intended as an intimation. When on the next afternoon the gen eral freight agent who had several times met Duncan at Captain Hal lam's bouse, read the letter his atten tion was at once attracted, precisely as Guilford Duncan bad Intended that It should be, by the elaborate formality of the signature. "So Hallam'a got that smart young man of his at work, ha. her the freight agent muttered. "Well we'll te what we can do with him." But be deliberately waited till 0 o'clock IUMkt uigut uciuia ixroyvuuJMg). auu opening the telegraph key at bis el bow, he called Duncan, and Duncan, who had learned telegraphing, as he had learned many other things, as a part of bis equipment for work, promptly vent to bis key and answer ed the call. The general freight agent spelled out this message: "Simply Impossible to furnish cars you ask. Haven't got them." -Duncan responded: "The Quentln mine gets all cars need ed. We demand our share, and I shall Insist upon the demand." The reply came: , . "I tell you we can't do It I'll run down to your place tomorrow or next day and explain." "Don't want explanations," answer ed Duncan. "I want the cars." "But we simply can't furnish them.' "But you simply must" "What If I refuser "Then I'll adopt other measures. But you won't refuse." "Why not?" . "Because I know too much," answer ed Duncau. "I shall send to you by special messenger ou the train that will pass here within an hour a letter mak ing a formal tender of the freight I make that tender by telegraph now, and you may as well accept It In that way. Your road Is a chartered torn mon carrier. Tour lawyers will advise you that you cannot -refuse freight formally tendered to you for carriage unless you cna show nn actual Inabil ity. Iu that case you must show that you are doing your best by nil shippers alike; that you are treating them with an equal hand, You perfectly well know you nre not doing that You know you have curs In plenty. ' You know you are deliberately discriminat ing agnlust this mlno aud lu favor of its rival. I make formal demand on behalf of the company I represent for all cars needed for the shipment of this freight. If they are not forthcom ing, as you sny they will not be, I give notice that I will dump tho coal by the side of your loading aldo track and leave It there at your rink. Good night" And Duncan abut off tho tele graph liiHtruineiit and devoted himself to tha pri'puralloii of his loiter of de mand. It should bo er.pl i'jicd thai the young man wss not "mating a bioff" in toe figurative phrase of that time and eouhtry-whou he telegraphed In this way to the general freight agent lie bad bis fact welt In band. Aa soon as Davidson's intimation had come to him to the effect that the railroad of ficials were "standing in" with the j proprietors of the Quentln mine he had ' telegraphed for Joe Arnold to come to ! blm by a train that would arrive at mlds'ght Joe Arnold was a detective of rare gifts ami, incidentally, a re porter on a Chicago newspaper. Cap tain Will ilallam often had occasion to employ Joe and thus Duncan bad come into acquaintance with the young man's peculiar abilities for finding out things. - To this man, when be came by the midnight train, Duncan said: "1 muat know who are the stock holders In the Qnentln mine, both those of record and those whose names do not appear on the stock books. If pos sible I. must know also what each stockholder, actually paid for bis shares. You must hurry. I must have this Information by noon tomorrow. You'll need to use money, perhaps, lie-re's stake for expenses. Come back on the noon train tomorrow." And Joe Arnold came back, bringing with blm quite all the Information that Guilford Duncan wanted and con siderably more, for he brought with blm transcripts of all the correspond ence that had passed, between the rail road peopl snd the mine proprietors, including a dispatch which the general freight agent bad -sent a little after midnight that morning to Napoleon Tandy, saying: Hallam has got that sharp-youns fel low Duncan at work, and, as you ar aware, he knows his business and his rights. I'm afraid he'll make a formal proffer of freight and a demand for ears. I wish you could come here, but of course you can't o long as you wish your stock holdings In that mine down there and your relations with u to be kept secret. F!?M telesraph any Instruction you may wlah. ' - , l ".' ' ' That dispatch, of course, had been sent not from the mines, but from the general freight agent's office in an other town. But "there were always men In those days who were deeply interested to learn what was going on among the masters of finance, and one of these overcorious ones was a cer tain telegraph operator. It was his practice to' take off the wires what ever dispatches there might be passing between Napper Tandy and the rail road people. Thus It came about that Joe Arnold brought to Guilford Duncan a mass of accurate and detailed information which enabled bfm to take the high band in his telegraphic controversy with the general freight agent when that person, lata In the evening, called blm up on the wire in answer to bis letter, received the night before. Thus was Duncan armed cap-a-pie for the telegraphic controversy. And. thus It came about that during the next six days there were a hundred cars shunt ed to Redwood side tracks,, where they were rapidly loaded with the coal out put of the Redwood mine.
