Ten Years' Trial By Oen. CHARLES KINd t -as but few minutes after U when, through tb Western t'nlon, the stranger received tlie following li- patch: Jhjot MMU. V. M. A.. Brmlwe-j.l: tfca raporta aeri ua aUiatlaa, Ktrikm up IfOtluf wnuil at trala firry Mile. II kaa ool 1U0 man. Fuur cuoiparura Mat militia go tut bf M. Y. at onea u4 mar to Bt W.lar (orga, la two commamia should art la auaoarC Caoos. Tba major replaced tb dispatch Id It envelope, stowed the packet In au Inner pocket and walked slowly from tba ottlce Into the slanting sunshine without. The street waa filled with men sauntering up and down or j;ath ered In knota at the corner. It waa till, wintry afternoon, though but lit tla mow a yet bad fallen east of the mountain. Melville noted that all eyea were on hint, but not In open boa tlllty. W hatever the handa might have in a tore for the official of the road or for trainloada of troops, their rancor took no abape agaluat a alngle man, ap parently, even actually, unarmed. Btel ville carried neither flask nor plstoL He waa reflecting on the miscarriage of the plana for the concentration of troops so fnr as Hrentwood waa con cerned and wouderlng by what evil chance Nathan had beet) chosen to command the detachment ordered thither from the smith. It was odd to . think of light artillery men being so employed at any time, but these were the economical day. Companies, bat teries and "troops" could rarely muster more than 30 men for duty. Pawnee's garrison- had been split np and sent to three or four important points, and, being senior In date of commission to the two cavalry captains sent with It, Natliau bml leen given the lead, and Nathan looked anything but blissful when "Old Cat" ordered him off. "Leave enough men to care for your barracks, stables and gun sheds," said he, "draw 30 carbines from the caval ry, let your men leave their sabers and ' go with carbine and revolver, then you'll be uniform with the troopera." "Cat" thought that when a soldier waa uniform with a trooper he couldn't be better off; Nathan thought he couldn't be worse. Next to an Indian Nathan bated a mob. Two hours from the time the orders reached blm the com mand waa ready to go, but not so Na than. Two day from the time they atartcd they were still two days' march from Brentwood, and their train met no detention whatever until It got well Into northern Nebraska. Then It waa found so easy to Induce the command ing officer to believe that the track was all torn up just ahead or that atrlkers bad blown up or burned down bridges that sympathizers with the wagework ers kept up the practice at every sta tion, and Nathan was aendlng dispatch after dispatch to Omaha the tidings of which, when It all came to be investi gated, proved utterly untrue, as the general held them to be at the time, and naturally, be grew Indignant and nervous. While most of the tr6ops had been hurried to Chicago and the Mis sissippi crossings, the garrisons west of Omaha had been ordered to rendez vous there or go direct to other desig nated point in the northwest. Brent wood was making no great trouble, wu the first report. Two or three corn pan lea of state militia were all that was needed, according to the original .view of the authorities, and they were sent there, with the result that Jeering telegrams came back to the magnates, the marshals and the military authori ties called Into action. All of a sudden people woke tip to the realization that Brentwood" was a railroad town and Che whole community practically In sympathy; with the operatives. All of a auddeufihefiiiew eametflaahinfr'over thv, lrertthat ICaptaln ;Nathon,lwitli 1 Wniynfrom Fort rawneehadlbeen stdWnnd compelled to retire (when bifffo'mmand'waadetralned at Gnnnl son,Ain1,tthoiigh'offleer and-menMe-claredthctrtreadlness to .push fanes.: afoot,1; their cautious "captain forbade ony'man to pnsh afootiAbeadnnt1iyie could ngalntcommunicate by wlrewlth department 'headquarters. "What did I tell you?"-growled the veteran Indian fighter, cow taking his first turo'of any; consequence against the mob. "Vou'toj beard the eld pay ing,, 'An army of 'sheep led by a lion can whip an army of lions led by, a sheep,' and that's what's side tracked Dow at Gunnison." And at the very moment that Nathan was holding bock there, alarmed and Irresolute, with 100 fighting men ready for any duty and chafing at their com mander's Inaction, another troop train came steaming Into the station. Two alert, clear eyed, sturdy men In civilian dress sprang from the engine cab, and at sight of the foremost the men who bad so easily daunted the commanding officer of the first train seemed to slink away. He dived Into the telegraph of fice, spent a few mlnntea In sending and receiving dispatches, and In that few minutes the platform swarmed with a laughing, shouting, shoving, al together hilarious crowd of yonng fel lows tu loose, flapping blue blouse and greatcoats, eagerly seeking something anything to eat cr drink. Aboard the first train, fr up ahead, was grim silence. Not a soldier showed himself outside the cars. Order were order. Around this second train It seemed as though, officers and men in a bunch, tbAlnttatlon of militia had turned out lor a frolic. It didn't last long. A grizzled, sharp featured little man in a major'a uniform swung oft the rear most car and enme up the track three tie to the stride, his eye napplng. So were hi words when he got to the r'at form. He wasted none till within hall. "Captain Clark, get yonr taen aboard your car instantly. Captain Oelsenhei Bier, this Is the second t'.aie I've spoken to you. Go to the rear car In arrest 1 Lieutenant Melnecke, take command of tho company and the company to the car. I told yon anpper would be ready for all hands at 3 o'clock. It' only 4. Back to the train, every moth er's son of you! Back!" And, some what crestfallen, somewhat awed and abashed, yet realising that the little major "meant business," back they went, still keeping up the semblance of Jocularity by horseplay and racing. Then out came the first of the newly arrived civilians, followed by the youn ger,llnt man. !'AMlerene forleunille.,auyhoit. majurrtu'i jou'uilglil put tour of your best men on the pilot and tender. Wo Will be there too. All right, Mac!" be saug out tu the engineer. "We pun ahead as soon as we get this gang aboard. Ixxik at the regulars' train hi the track. They're not struggling all over creation V "No, and they alu't glttlii ahead any too fast cither," snickered the station agent. "It's taken 'cm two hours to come 20 miles, and now the cap's wait in for orders." "Then, by gad, that give u the right of way and tho lead," was the gleeful answer. "We go on at once. i How's that for high, major? Better ! come forward to the baggage car." Than naiitlnnmnltini lii-nliA Iiiaiui mi the rear troop train. The words went from car to car like wildfire that tho regulars were side tracked ahead, and "the boys," as they called themselves, would have the lead. From every door and window one head at least and sometimes two protruded a the engine gathered way and presently rolled past the heavier but shorter train at the water tank. A chorus of yell of re joicing, chaff and fun arose from the throats of 300 lively young westerners on their first campaign. Silent, somber faces looked out at them from the oth er windows, though occasionally some light hearted Irishman would fling back a laughing answer. Three officers stood on the rear platform of the regu lar train intently eying the oncom lng engine. The guardsmen on the pi lot were hanging to their rifles with one hand and the rail with the other. The tender seemed bristling with blue- coats. The keen, bright eyed face of the railway official was peering forth from the fireman's side of the cab, and he waved bis band to the trio. None knew him, but all looked and saw, peering over hi ihoulder, another face. It wa only an Instant's glimpse, but a flash of recognition leaped into the eyes of the nearmost He leaned for ward from the step snd gazed after them as they rushed by, regardless of the jocular bail of the crowd in the cars, then, a the engine was shut from view, drew back on tho platform once more. "Whom did I see?" he repeated In re ply to a question asked by Mr. Tor rance, "Erie Langdon or his ghost!" , CHAPTER VI. . Midway up the Red Water gorge and ten mile southeast of Brentwood there comes tumbling and foaming down from the north a stream that Is little mora than a big brook eight months of the year, but Is advertised all the year round a one of the scenic attraction of the Seattle road, much to the dis gust of the general passenger and tick et agent of the Big Horn, whose right of way is, In hi opinion, twice invad ed, first by the stream Itself and then by the Seattle. Following tho north bank of the Red Water, the Big Horn had to encounter all tho engineering difficulty of laying out a stable road way across the mouth of thla little trib utary that In tho montba of melting snows became a boiling torrent and the expense of constructing a massive bridge, while the spectacular effect was lost on Its passengers because that right of way was scooped out at the base of steep, rocky cliffs that shut en tirely the view of the cascade and rap Id. until1 the car was directly under them and wa then too close to getthe beat-effect, whereas from the opposite bank the passengers of the Keattle line, sweeping round a fine curve, concave to.the north, were treated to a capital view not only of the foaming, spray tossing little cataract and the leaping rapids back of and above the Big Horn bridge, but of the fine bridge Itself and the really magnificent gorge of the Red Water between the lines. Big Horn peopl Jhought it rough that the Seattle should so profit by what wa practically their property. Pome of the directors advocated boarding up the whole north side of their steel truss, thus hiding the sight from Seattle's eye. Bnt, said others, that would spoil it for our own patrons, liesidos making it dangerous for the bridge, for whenever a blizzard did sweep from the north a rare occurrence nenr Brentwood It came for all It was worth down that aolfsnrao crosscut gnleh and beat In fury against the bridge at its foot. The massive stone pier were of double strength, and the Stanch truss cf tempered steel, that would stand any vertical strain the possibilities of railroading could heap upon It, had twice been perceptibly shifted by this lateral pressure. It was for this reason that a siding had been let Into the bank for a quarter of a mile west of the bridge, and a trnln of flat cars, heavily laden with railway Iron, was kept there until certain guys and anchors conld be made and set and the bridge stiffened laterally a long operation. The object was to run those cars out on the bridge, set the brakes and by this vast increase of weight so add to Its stability as to bid defiance when the elements threatened. The re pairs had been made and that auxili ary train removed before the manage ment was called on to resist a storm of far greater magnitude and very dif ferent character. Bnt the siding was still there. "It may come in bandy some day," saiil tlm division superin tendent, and the day appeared to havo come. Old hands minded them of that old train, and some flat cars were "loaded up." The American is never satisfied with tho powers of his own Terbs to sdd, to load, to open, to sad dle and others of that Ilk. lie must, as he conceives, strengthen each by the superposition of "up," despite the fact that when correctly done there Is no difference In the result of adding up or adding down. Tho schoolboy still talk of adding np a column, the section boss "loads np" his teams, the railway "opens up" tho new region, the trooper "saddles up" his steed, and the news paper sanctions and follows the exam ple. Old hand knew It wouldn't do to hinder the mail trains, so the bridge was not destroyed or even blocked against then, but on the rnmor that troopa were coming conservative fel lows among the strikers ran those Iron laden cars down grade to the siding and there held thera In readiness to be shoved ont on the bridge the moment It waa known the dreaded train bad started from Gnnn'son, 20 miles to tho east. One by one the heavy cars were then shoved across the bridge until the east approneb and the span Itself were covered. Then the more determined took things In their hands, also picks. rmwhars anil sIhivoIs, and so under mined :Le ii at a poiut tomato janN .it if the l.rMKe foundation tliut. ml! tie tiij.il sinived in rem lilii tin- riil4e tind then titteuipt to move I lie olmtiiiiliiitf li.it went ward oilt of ll.e huv, iln ir weight would break fhr-ituTh I lie v a! m-d roadbed mill pile ir;i it Icin li .nlo of t.inlml rails ami ririiicil ll.it ear:; licit, without dam a'e to cider eiijriiie or troop train, would e"i dually l i n k their passuge, since nu n ..ml tools Mini ihu wrecking train uoiii.l Ix- in-cilnl tu clear the truck, iiinl m reaitcr Mend on this 'M!i of Noveiiilx r these were lint to lie had. And now nt t:.''o in the wintry gloam ing, silent have for occasional mutter ing, klijvcring u bit front mingled cold and excitement, a hundred or more of the hands, backed by twice their num ber of "toughs" and tramps, were gath ered alxHit the lilulTi at Bridge siding, lUteiiiiig with all their ears for the first sound of the coming trnln. The rush of the Ucd Vutr over 1M rocky bed in the gorge below was the only sound that steadily bore upon the enr. Some few of the men, aiitiiig not a lit tle, were laboring np the steep with bats or hands full of rocks. Over on the opposite the southern shore t lie concave curve of the Seattle was lined for a third of a mile with sympathiz ing operatives of the rival road, and for a time shouts of encouragement to each other and defiance to the manage ment had echoed from hank to bank. Now, however, the gravity of tho situ ation weighed upon the leaders, and in the mournful twilight the conscious ness that they were "up ag'iu the gov ernment," as several expressed it, caus ed some of the older men, who had gone through a harder tussle to utter defeat iu 1ST7, to draw asido and con fer together in cautious tones. From mere bravado au uncouth looking fel low began climbing the telegraph polo west of the bridge, and the applause of certain among the tramp element, at other times the natural euemy of the trainbands, attracted the attention of the leaders on the bluff. Instantly the query was bellowed from above t "Hold on! What are you at?' "Cuttln de wire, of course," wa the shouted answer, and an unkempt face peered upward through the dim twi light "Let it alone, you fool! We're run nln the telegraph!" And a dowu spin ning "dornlek," sent by no reluctant hand, skimmed so closo to tho fuzzy head that, amid jeers of derision now, the would be wire dipper slid back to earth aud skulked In among his cronies In the shadow of the bluff. Barely 200 yards awny eastward, across the deep rocky gulch, two men, muffled in overcoats and fur caps, bad Just alighted from a buggy. One, standing at tho horse's head, nodded appreciatively. "Hear that, major?" he asked. "They have not lost their senses, anyhow. I'll Join you quick as I have blanketed and tethered the horse." , Silently the other bowed and, still standing at the edge of the little patch of firs that crowned the height, took from bis pocket a small binocular, care. fully studied the groups across the gulch to the west and then swept the line of the Seattle across the Red Wa ter. Those on level with himself were In black silhouette against the pallid western sky; those down across the Red Water were but dimly visible, for the sun was now behind a bank of cloud at the horizon, and It was nearly 5 o'clock. Voices and Jeers rising from the foot of the bluff where ran the line of the Big Horn told that many men were still there, but they could not be distinguished. Observant of bis duty, Melville bad notified the sheriff of the new complication, and together they had driven out of Brentwood by a northeastern road nntll well away from town and then, taking the first turn to the east, had swept round over the hard, smooth prairie highways and had finally come down along the east bank of the brook well out of sight of the strikers at the bridge, reaching their lookout In good time and without do tectlon. Further tiding had come be. fore their start to the effect that Mr. Channlng, the energetic manager, was aboard the train bearing the militia boys. This could only mean that the situation to the east of the Missouri was now so far improved that the keen est officials were giving their main ef fort to the west. Even before tho ma. Jor had completed his calm, methodical survey of the situation he was rejoined by the sheriff. It was then so nenr darknes that the star were peeping In the eastward sky, aud over across the rushing Red Water tho glow of a little fire started by some of the Seattle crowd lighted the rocky face of the railway cut and threw a gleam upon the waters. And still no sign of the expected train. "Feelin her way," said the sheriff. "Dasn't take any chances." A spike or two withdrawn, a fishplate removed on any one of the half dozen sharp curves along the gorge, would shoot the engine over the bank and In to the boiling waters, with car after car pitching atop of it. "Reckon 'twill be another hour tvefore It gets here," concluded he. Melville made no reply. He was watching a little light swinging like the lantern of a trainband over on the southern shore and high tip on a pro jecting point half a mile to the south east. A moment earlier no light was there. Now It was swinging like a liendulum firefly swiftly to and fro. There was instant excitement among the strikers across the Red Water and over against them where the Big Horn leaders seemed to have gathered. "Comln sure as death!" whispered the sheriff, and together he and the major strode swiftly to the edge of the cliff overlooking the single -rack at It base. Away down the Red Water a faint nimble and the pant of a laboring en gine could Just be heard above the rush of the stream, and presently the edge of a glowing disk came steadily Into view; then the full glare of a headlight, which pointed an instant or two to ward the opposite shore, swung across the seething rapids, dived Into and un der the bluff on the north side and dis appeared from view. Behind It, snake like, trailed the dim line of glowworm lights of the troop cars, and then they, too, were swallowed up In darkness. "Runnln keerful." muttered th sher iff. "They know 'nuff not to come head on and full speed. She'll pull np some where down here and send forward to smell the bridge." ' Jin silence and suspense they waited. Ail voices wero huuticdfcilouK tho rocky banks. For a few minuter even tlm panting of tho engine could net be heard as tho trnln burrowed through a deep cutting. Then, louder, clean-:-, nearer tliuu before, it bounded e:i tl.H night, and a confused I'lUrmur if voices roue along the stc-ps Angered aud desiK-rute as they were, few of Uio railway men could lcur Hie thcught of that train, freighted with human life, rushing ou to destruction. A l'jzht iih of a lantern shot suddenly into view on tho opposite bank. Somebody nt the I same Instant, lantern swinging, darted dowu the bluff on the H!jr Horn shl". A howl of rtbuko uud lucnnco rote from tho gang of tramps, n vulley of stoues uud coal chunks shattered the glass and gtunncd the licurcr, and then, almost as though in relief and rejoic ing, a shout went up across tlm stream from v.liih slilo tho ti::!n vu:; now In plain view. Above tho mingled mar ef waters ami voices, sharp and cleirr. could bo heard tiio hiss of escaping Steam. The engineer hud shut off. Tho long train was slowing down, and presently, -itNt yards away from tho oruige, it scuicu iu it ii4 came to a full stop. Rending over tho brink, Melville and tlm sheriff could see some half a dozen lanterns dancing , lirlskly up the curving track and pres ently clustered alsiut n single spot. They had come uhui tho cast end of tho obstructing cars. Then tho sher iff's voice was beard on tho gathering Bight. "Below- there! Can you hear uie dis tinctly;" "Aye, aye!" was the nnswer after a moment's delay. "Then don't attempt to send men across yet. There's a mob waiting there. Major Melvlllo wants to sit; the gentleman In charge." Silence one moment, and then uprose a voice from below, nt sound of which Melville perceptibly started and liont more eagerly forward. It rang out on the night deep and resonant. In mark ed contrast tu th ' "whang" of tho west erner's olMciul tone. To '" funlhiitrd Wants To Help Other.
