It ain't much of relief train, Mr. oatiey. iwo cars, loaded with Are oglnes and a lot of old hose. They are on the siding now." "Were any men sent here with the relief train?" questioned Oakley. "No; Antloch Just wanted hose and engines. The water's played out and they got to depend on the river If the fire strikes the town. They're In pretty bad shape, with nothing but one old hand engine. You see, their water mains are about empty and their hose carts ain't worth much." Oakley turned on his heel and strode (from the office. The operator followed him. As they gained the platform Dan paused. The very air was heavy . with smoke. The sun was sinking be S hind a blue film. Its dull disk was the 1 color of connpr. llo vnui! t I same somber darkness was settling V-' own on Antloch. The element of w dancer seemed verv real and To Dan this danger centered about j5T Constance Emory. He quite over looked the fact that there were several thousand other people in ,Antloob. Durks, at his side, nibbed the sandy rustles on his chin with the back of bis band and tried to believe he had thought of everything and had done everything there was to do. The woods were on fire all about the Junction, but the town Itself was tn no especial danger, as cultivated fields ' lnterveneofto "shut away th flames. In these fields Dan could sec men and wosnen busy at work tearing down fences. On a hillside a mile off a barn was blazing. -mere goes Warwick's barn," re marked the operator. 'What was the last word from An tloch? Do you remember exactly what was Bald?" asked Dan. The message was that a strong north wind was blowing and that the own was pretty certain to burn unless ; the engines and hose reached there to- night. But they have been saying that i for two days, and the wind's always changed at the right moment and driv- tffen the fire back." j Dan glanced along the track and saw the relief train, consisting of an en glue, tender and two flat cars, loaded with hose and fire engines, on one of the sidings. He turned on Durks with an angry scowl. . "Why haven't you tried to start that train through? It's ready." ? "No one is here to go with It, Mr. Oakley. I was sort of counting on the freight crew for the Job." jV'Where's Baker?" . "ne went home on the 6:10. He f lives up at Carson, you know." i This was the first stop on the M. and 'W. east of Buckhorn. , "Why did you let him leave? Do Ki J,ou mean to say that he's been loaf ' I, u)ig around here all day with his hands to bis pockets? He'll never pull an other throttle for the Huckleberry!" Durks did not attempt to reply to this explosion of wrath. "Who made up the train?" demand ed Dan. "Baker did him and his fireman. I didn't know but the freight might come tip from Parker's Run, and I wanted to be fixed for 'em. I couldn't do a thing with Buker. I told him his or ders were to try and reach Antlocb with the relief train, but he said be didn't care who gave the order, he wasn't going to risk his life." 1 1 But Dan had lost Interest In Baker. 'Look here," he cried. "You must get a flremnn for me, and I'll take out the train myself." He wondered why he had not thought , or this before. t. I guess 1 11 manage to reach Anti "och," lie added as he ran across to the siding and swuug himself Into tho cab. I A faded blue blouse and a pair of greasy overalls were lying on the seat Inthe cab. He removed his coat and vwt and put them on. Durks, who had followed him, rlimlied up ou the steps. "You'll have to run slow.

"I don't think you can." ventured Durks reluctantly. Instinct told him that this opinion would not tend to In crease his popularity with Oakley. "Wfiy not?' "They Just won't want to go."

"Well, you see, there won't any one here want to get killed, and they will think they got enough trouble of their own to keep them home." We can go uptown and Bee If we can't find a man who thinks of more than his own skin," said Dan. 'Oh, yes; we can try!" agreed Durks apathetically, but his tone implied an unshaken conviction that the search would prove a fruitless one. "Can't you- think of any one who would like to make the trip?" Durks was thoughtful. He thanked his lucky stars that the M. and W. paid half his salary. At last he said: "No, I can't, Mr. Oakley." There was a sound like the crunching of cinders underfoot on the other side of the freight car near where they were standing, but neither Durks uor Oakley heard it.
