: A CAPTAIN IN
THE RANKS
By Georg Carey Eggletton
(Continued from Last Week.)
During thtt .Uut bull liour Hi rain
bad almost ccaaod, and Guilford Dun
can bad Imlulgod an anxious bopo that
tbe sklo inlKbt clear awny with the
stinrlso, but junt a llio gruy of morn
Ing began to give tlht enotiKb for tho
workmen to suo wltliout tbo aid of tbe
torches tbo downpour began again
more pltllesMly than rtvor, ;
It dltcoiiraKiiig olfcct upon tbe al
ready exhausted men was Inatantly
apparent. A doKott of tlicm at once
quit work mid cli;;,'t'il)y nut down In
tbo miiu of Urn emljunkmcnt. Two or
three otliur. rifckl? of ovcrythlnir but
tbclr. own suffoi'lug, stretched tliem
elves at full Imigtti to sleep where
th?y wer. too wenry and bopelew now
even to wuk the I-x uucoiufortable
apots to rest their woniout bodies. ' '
"Hlx hour more," wild Duncan, look
ing at hi wiitcli. . Only Nix hours be
tween ut and triumph. Only six hours,
tud wo luiiHt Ioho nil simply because
tho men are dona up."
"We'll do It yet," answered Temple.
"We never can,, 'f bono fellow are
done for, I tell yon. I know tbo symp
toms. They've hint their morale, lost
"May I tpcml (2,000 if 1 get thli Job
i . done hi noonf"
the ambition fur success. - Pre seen
soldiers fall In precisely that way, too
far cone even to shelter themselves
fTomcnnuonado.M.
For tbo first time In bis llfo Guilford
Duncan renllxed that there Is such
thing at the ImiwKKlUle.
Tbo simple tm-t wus that the long
train bad at last begun to tell even
upon his resolute spirit. For three
days aud nights now he had not slept
For three days nud nights be had not
sat down. For three days and nights
be bad teeu wndiug In water and
struggling In mud and exhausting all
his resources of mind and character
In effort to stimulate the men to con
tinned endeavor.
Ho was iltt.Ylutr for a tremendous
stake, as we know. Ills career, his
future, all that he had ever dreamed of
of ambition, ht:ns upon success or fall
tire In this undertaking, and now at
last and In spite of his heroic struggle
failure stared him In the face.
Aud nptirt from tin-He considerations
of self Interest there were other and
higher thing to he thought of. If he
failed now uu euterprlno must bo lost
In which he hfld labored for a year to
Induce otlien to invest millions.
At last this resolute man whone cour
age hud seemed unconquerable was
dlHcouraRed. A
'Might as well give It up." said Will
Hnllam. "Vlie men simply will not
work any-longer."
"It Isu't a ease of will not, but of
cannot," answered Duncan.
Barbara heard nil as she hovered
over the lire of loys aud busied herself
with her tusks regardless of rain and
weariness, regardless of every cousld
eratlou of self, the wore 110 wrajis or
protection of nuy kind against tbe tor
rents or ruiu. "They .: :wuM slmoly
bother me," she salil when urged to
protect hor porsou. Her face was
flushed by tho heot of tho fire, but
otherwise sho was very pule, and her
tightly compressed Hps were livid as
sho straightened herself up to answer
Duncan's despairing word. ,
"You are wrong,"-, sho said. "They
eau work a little longer If they will. It
la fni 11a fn mit win in... ' 1 f""
them to tho tiro, a dozen or tweuty at
a time, for breakfast. I've something
new aud tempting fer them something
that will renew their strength. You
and Captain Ilallam and Mr. Temple
must do tho rest."
A dozen of the men bad already come
with their tin enps to drink again of
the strong coffee that Barbara bad
been serving to the(U at Intervals
throughout tho night. She Jiad some
thing more substantial for them now.
She had by her a barrelful of batter,
and sho and tbe negro boy, Bob, each
with two largo frying pans, were mak
ing grlddlecnkes with astonishing ra
pidity. To each of tho men sho gave
one of the tin plates with half a dozen
of the hot cakes upon it, bidding each
help himself to molasses from the half
barrel, froro which for convenience of
ladling BuJ bad removed tho head,
"This Is breakfast," sho said to the
men. as they refreshed themselves.
"There'll bo dinner, and a good one,
ready when the work is done."
The men were too far exhausted to
greet her suggestion with enthusiasm.
Tbs few word they spoke In response
were word of discouragement" flnd
even of dowpair. They did not toll her
that they had decided to work no
more, but the saw clearly that tboy
were on the point of such decision. Tbe
breakfast aba was serving comforted
them and gave them soma small meat'
ore of fresh strength, but it did not
give them courage eriough to overcome
tbelr wearlnes. Tho girl saw that
something more electlvo mutt be done.
Bhe puckered her forehead quizzical'
ly after her manner when working out
problem in arithmetic. After a lit
tle tho wrinkle passed away, and, lift
ing her eyes for a moment from ber
frying 410ns, the called to Captain
nallnm:' , 1
"Would you mind coming here a
minute?" she asked, ;
The ma a of affairs responded weari
ly, but promptly.
"What Is It, Barbara?" . ,
"May I spend $2,000 If 1 get this Job
done by noon? That's the last min
ute, Mr. Duncan tells me."
'But how can you"
"Never mind how. May I have the
$2,000?"
"Yes twenty thousand any amount,
If only we succeed In pushing that car
on rails across the county line before
the clock strikes 12." -
"Very well. I'll see what I can do.
Mr. Duncan, can you cook griddle-
cakes?" , ,"'
Happily, yes," answered he, "I'm
an old soldier, you know,"
Very well, then. Hcase come here
and cook for a, little while just till 1
get back. I won't be long."
Duncan took command of her two
frying pens. A little amused smile ap
peared on his face as be did so in spite
of bis dlscourugemcnt and melancholy.
But to the common sense and sincerity
of the girl there seemed nothing lu
dicrous in setting him thus to the un
dignified work. Intent upon ber
scheme, she darted away to where tbe
several gangs of men were still mak
ing some pretense of working. To each
gang sue said:
"I've got $2,000 for you men If you
stick to your work and finish It before
noon today. I'll divide the money
equally among all toe men who stick.
It will be $10 apiece or more. Of
course you'll get your triple wages be
sides. Will yon keep it up? It's only
for a few hours more."
Ber tone was eager and her manner
almost plteously pleading. Without the
persuasiveness of ber personal appeal
It Is doubtful If the men would have
yielded to the temptation of tbe extra
earning. Even with ber Influence add
ed more than a third of them those
who had already cast their tools aside
and surrendered to exhaustion refus
ed to go on again with a task to which
they felt themselves hopelessly un
equal. But in every gang she address
ed' there was a majority of men who
braced themselves anew and respond
ed. The very last of tbe gangs to
wbom she made her appeal put tbelr
response Into the form of a cheer, and
Instantly tbe other gangs echoed It
"What on earth has that girl said or
dono to the men to fetch a cheer from,
themT ejaculated Will Hallom.
"Reckon 'Little Mlssie's' Jest done be
witched 'cm." responded Bob as be
ponred batter Into bis pans.
A moment later Barbara, with a face
that had not yet relaxed Its look of In
tense earuestuess, returned to the fire
and resumed her work over the pons.
"Thank you, Mr. Duncan," was all
she said in recognition of his service
as a maker of grlddlecakes. But she
added:
"Tho men will stick to work, now, I
thlnk-or most of them, at any rate.
Terhaps you a,nd Mr. Temple can do
something to shorten lt-to lessen the
amount"
Theu, turning to Bob, she said:
"Bring the hog, Bob, as quickly as
yon can. There's barely time to roast
It before noon." . "
The men had nearly all had their
treakfast now, so that the making of
grlddlccakes had about ceased. Ual
lim, Duncan and tho young engineer,
Temple, taking new courago from
Parbnra'3 report were going about
among tho gangs, wading knee deep
In water and mud and giving such di
rections as were needed.
Duncan especially was rendering
service. As an old soldier who had
varied experience n the hurried
construction of earthworks under diffi
culties ho was able In many ways to
hasten the present work. One thing he
hit upon which went far to make suc
cess possible. That end of the crib
,whlch reached and crossed the county
line offered a cavernous space to be
filled in. It was thickly surrounded by
trees, and Duncan ordered all these
tho trunks and branches should fall
Into the crib.. Then setting men to
chon off such of the branches as pro-.
traded above the proposed embank-1
ment level and let them fall Into the
unoccupied spaces he presently had
that part of the crib loosely filled In
with tangled timber and treotops.
Gangs of men were meanwhile push
ing cars along the temporary track and
dumping their loads of earth among
tho felled trees.; Duncan, with a small
gang, was extending these temporary
tracks 'along the crib as fast aa the
earth dumped in provided a bad. v
. This work of, filling was very slow,
of course, and when Duncan's watch
showed 10 o'clock lie was well uW'i

be uw what Barbara's promised din
ner was to bo. Tbe two separated
halves of a dressed bog bnng before
and partly over the firo roasting. -
"Where on earth did you get that?"
be asked In astonishment
"Bob got it last night," she answer
ed, "and dressed It himself."
"But where, and bow?"
"I don't know yet lie laughs when
I ask questions. I'm sorely afraid
Bob stole the hog from some farmer.
I seQt him out with some money to
buy whatever meat he could find, for I
taw that tho men must bare substan
tial food. lie came back about day
light and told me be bad a dressed bog
'out dar In de bushes.' lie gave m3
back tbe money. I'll make him tell
me all about It this afternoon. If he
stole tbe bog we can pay for It. And
meanwhile the men shall have their
dinner. How la tbe work getting on?"
"Rapidly, but not rapidly enough, f
fear, I must hurry back now."
"I'll go with you," said tbe girl.
"Bob can watch the roasting," for Bob
had reappeared at the fire.
"But you can't go with me," replied
Duncan. "The water's knee deep and
more between bere aud the crib."
"It can't make me any wetter than
I am now," replied tbe resolute girl as
the set off In Duncan's company.
At tbe crlbbe studied tbe situation
critically. She knew nothing of engi
neering, of course, but she had an
abundance of practical common sense.
"What time is it now?" she asked
after she bad watched the alow prog
ress of the work long enough to esti
mate the prospect
"Half past 10."
"Then we've only an hour and a half
more. It Isn't enough. You can never
fill that hole iu time."
"I'm afraid we can't I'm afraid
we've lost In tbo struggle,"
"Oh, no; you mustn't feel that way.
We simply must win this battle, in one
way or another." , ?
Duncan made no answer. There
seemed to him no answer to be made.
The girl continued to look about ber.
"Is tho end of the crib at the county
line?" she asked. '
"Yes, or, rather, the line lies a little
way this side of the end of the crib."
Again she remained silent for time
before saying:
"There are two big tree trunks lying
longways there In the crib. They ex
tend across the county line. Why can't
you jack them up Into place and lay
yonr rails along them without filling tbe
space and without using any ties?'
For half a minute the young man did
not answer. At last he exclaimed: .
"That'a an Inspiration!"
Without pausing to say another word
Duncan started at a run thrqngh
the water till be reached the mud em
bankment Then he ran along that to
the point where Temple was superin
tending the earth diggers.
"Quit this quick." he cried, "and
hurry the whole force to the crib! I
see a way outl Order ail the Jack-
screws brought Dick, and come your
self in a hurry 1" ,
The two great tree trunks were
quickly cleared of their remalnlngr
branches by the axmen. Then Tem
ple placed the jackscrews under them
and set to work to raise them into the

track level, with a space of about four
and a half feet between their centers.
As the jackscrews slowly brought
them Into position Will Hallam and
Duncan, one at either end of the logs,
directed men In the work of placing
log supports under them.
At half past 11 Temple announced
that the great tree trunks were In
place. Instantly twenty axmen were
set at work hewing a flat place for
rails aiong ths top of each log, while
other men aa fast as tho hewing ad
vanced laid and spiked down the rails.
At five minutes before noon a gang
of men, with shouts of enthusiastic
triumph, seized upon the dumping car
