ANTIOCH bad grown Indifferent to forest Area. Tbey were of almost annual recurrence, and t the town bad come to expect them each fall. Aa the Hon. Jeb liar rows remarked with cheerful optimism, voicing a popular belief, If It was in tended Antlocb should go that way It would have gone long ago. But this summer the drought bad been of longer duration than usual. The wooda were like tinder, and the Inev itable wadding from some careless hunter's gun or the scattered embers from some camp Are far up in the northern part of the state bad started a conflagration that waa licking up miles of Umber and moving steadily south behind a vast curtain of smoke that darkened half the state. It was only when the burned out aettlers from the north began to straggle In that An tlnch awoke to a proper sense of lis danger. It was then that Antlocb sent out Its first call for help. It nefded fire en gine aud hose, and It needed them badly, especially the how, for the lit tle reservoir from which the town drew its water supply waa almost empty. Antlocb forgot the murder of Ryder. It forgot Roger Oakley, the strike and all lesser affairs. A common danger threatened Ita homes, perhaps the lives of Its citizens. ' A score of angry men were stamping up aud down the long platform across from the aboi or pushing la and out of the ugly little depot, which had taken on years in apparent age and decay In the two daya daring whlrb 110 trains bad been running. They were abusing Holt, the railroad and every one connected with it For the thousandth time they demanded to know where the promised relief train waa if it bad started from Buckborn Junction, and. if it hadn't started, the reason of the delay. 3e harried assistant treasurer an swered these quest loos as xt be sou id. "Are you going to let the town born without making a move to save ItT" demanded an excited cltlaen. Ton dost think I am any more nnzioTss to see It go than you areF started Holt angrily. Then why don't yoor road do some thing to prevent 111" TtM road's doing all K can, geaUe- BSAttft." That's a whole lot, ain't Itr "We are cot off." aald Hort help lessly. "Everything to tied up tight" "You can wire, onn't you 7" "Yea, I can wire; I bare wired." "Well. Where's the relief train, tbenT "It a at the Junction." "It'a going to do ua a lot of good there, alnt Itr' They'll send It aa aooo as tbey can get together a crew." "Stir them up again. Holt. Tel) Vm we got to have that bone and those en gines or the town's gone. If a a matter of life aud death." Holt lurued"' hack Into the depot, and the crowd dtswrsed. In the ticket office be found McClln tock, who bad Juiit come in from up town. The master meclianlc'a face wat unusually itrave. "I have been Investigating the water supply wltb the city engineer. Thlnm are In awful xluipe. The mains err about empty, and there Isn't prcuxurt euough from the stamlplpe to throw s thirty Ove foot stream." "I wWh Oakley was here." muttered Holt "So do I. Somehow he bad a knack at keeping thluK moving. I don't uieuii but what you've done your level best. Hyrnn." be added kindly. "They've laid down on me at the Junction." said tie younger man bit terly. 11.' Kti'itel to the door, liiupplug tils face with his handkerchief, and stood loo Win: down the track In the direc tion of lliu ktiorn "They made It ho Oakley couldn't stay, niul now they wonder why the relief tralu Is bung up. All Otirks says Is tluit be can't t'ct a crew. I tell you If (ink ley waa here he'd have to got one." "It was a mistake to seud the yard supine up to Parker's Run. If we had it bore now" "How was I to know we'd need tt T I hsd to try to save thoee ties, and we thought the wind was shifting Into the south." In nVtw Justldcatlou of bis course. "Tbat'e sit, ail rltiht" ald MoClln tuck. "We dkl think the danger was pant Only we shouldn't have taken any chauoes." At this point they were Joined by lr Emory. "Auytblng new from ltuckboraT" be Inquired anxiously. "No; It's the same old story. I'urki alu't got auybody to send." The doctor, like Holt, fell to mopping his face with his handkerchief. "lKm't be know our danger' Don't be know we cau't fight the fire with out endues and hose-that our water supply Is about exhausted and that we'll have to depend on the rlverT" Hinxr I Brother -3 Holt nodded wearily. "It looks as though we were to be left to face this situation aa best we can, without help from the outside,'' aald the doctor uneasily. Holt turned to McC'llntock. j "Isn't there some method of back rlrlngr "It's too late to try that, and, with this wind blowing. It would have been ' too big a risk."- He glanced moodily across the town to the north, where the black cloud bung low in the sky. He added: j "I have told my wife to keep the young ones In, no matter what bap i pen a, but Lord, they will be about as' well off one place aa another when it cornea to the plncb." "I suppose so," agreed the doctor. "I am at a loss to know what precautions to take to Insure the safety of Mrs. ' Emory and my dauKhter." It waa only 4 o'clock, but It was al-' ready quite dark In the town, a strange half light that twisted the accustomed bne of things. The air was close, : stilting, and the wind, which blew lu heavy gusta, waa like the breath from a furnace. The somber twilight car- i rled with It a horrible aense of depres sion. Every sound in nature was still ed. Silence reigned supreme. It was the expectant bush of each living thing. The three men stepped out on the plutrorm. Holt and tie doctor were still mopping their fucea with their limp handkerchiefs. McCllntock wa funning himself with bis straw bat. When they spoke they unconsciously dropped their voices to a whisper. "Those families In the north end should move out of their homes," said the doctor. "If they wait until the flrel t. he, tl.ee will .nv. nn.hin hf what they bave on their backs. 'Yea, and the bouses ought to come down," added McCllntock. "There's where the Ore will get Ita first grip on the town, and then heaven help us!" Night came, and so Imminent seem, ed the danger that AnUoch waa roused to something like activity. - A crowd composed almost exclusive ly of men gathered early on the aqua re before the courthouse. , . . Tbey bad by ceVnmon eonaeot given up all bop that the relief train would be sent from Burkhorn Junction. The tight In the aky told tbem that tbey were completely cut off from the out side world. The town and the woods Immediately adjacent formed aa Is land In the center of an unbroken sea of fir. The ragged red line bad crept around to the east, vwt and Booth, but the principal danger would be from the north, where the wind drove the Barnes forward with resistless fury. To the south and east BlUup'e Fork Interposed aa a barrier to the progress of the fire, and on the west waa a j wide area of cultivated fields. , At regular Intervals waves of light flooded the square aa the freshening ' gusts fanned the conflagration or ' whirled across the town great patches 1 of black smoke. In the Intervals of ; light a numtier of dark figures could be seen moving alniut ou the roof of ; the courthouse, l.lke the square below. ' It was crowded with anxious watchers. The crowd Jostled to and fro on the square, restless and excited and lnca puble of physical quiet. Then sudden ly a voice was raised and made Itself heard above the tramp of feet. "Those houses In the north end uiuit come down!" this voice said. There was silence and then a many toiiK'iied murmur.

"These must Ctuue uVwu first." salJ Mct'llntoi'k "Now, w want no noise, men. We U pass out their stuff quletly as we can "and take it back square." He swung open a pate as be spke. "Williams keeps a team. X cniipie of you fellows run around to the barn and hook up." Jii-it then the front door opened, and Williams himself appeared on the threshold. X dog barked, other doors oeiied, lights gleamed In a score of windows, and the north end threw off Its cloak of silence and darkness. "Keep quiet and let me do the talk inif," said Mef'liutoc over his shoul der. Then to the figure In the door way: "We bave come to help you move, John. I take It you will be wanting to lie prttmted the muzzle of u shottun. leave here shortly. We'll give you a hand." And the master mechanic push ed through the gate and took a step """" . , UoJ an- "led "hums, swinging out an arm. "I got something to say about that?' There was a sound as of the click ing of a lock, and be presented the muzzle of a shotgun. "Oh, say," said McCllntock gently, "you bad better not try to use that! It wlU only make matters worse. Tour bouse hat got to come down. We got to save what we can of the town." Williams made no answer to this, but McCllntock aaw him draw the butt of the gun up toward his shoulder. The men at bis back were perfectly still. Tbey filled the street and, breath ing; bard, pressed heavily against the picket fence, which bent beneath the weight oMbelr bodies. "You'd better be reasonable. We are losing precious time," urged Mc Cllntock. "In an hour or two this place will be on fire." "I've got no kick coming If It burns, but It shan't be pulled down." "Put up your gun, and we'll give you a lift at getting your stuff out" "No, you wou't" Mcf'llntock kept bis eyes on the muzzle of the shotgun. "It ain't the property loss we are thinking of-lt'a the possible loss of life." be snld mildly. "I'll chance It" retorted Williams briefly. "Well, we won't" Williams made no reply. He merely fingered the lock of his gun. "Put down that gun, John!" com manded McCllntock sternly. At the same moment he reached around and took an ax from the bands of the ueurest man. "Put It down," he repeated as be stepped quickly toward Williams. The listening men pressed heavily against the fence lu their feverish anx iety to miss nothing that was said or done. The posts snapped, aud they oured precipitously Into the yard. At the same moment the 1:1111 exploded, aud u charge of buckshot rattled harm lessly along the pavement at McCIIn tock's feet Then succeeded a sudden pause, deep, breathless and Intense, and then the crowd gave a cry -a cry that was In auswer to a hoarse cheer that hud reached them from the square. An Instant later the trampled froDl yard was deserted by all save Wil liams in th doorway. He still held th smoking gun to his shoulder. CHAPTF.K XX UI. WHEN lluger Oakley appeared oa the platform at Bucklioru Junction l'urks started vio lently, while Iuq took a quick step forward and pluced a warn ing baud 011 the old convict's arm. He feared what he might say. Then be said to the operator: "He'll do. Oo see if you cau et AutiiK-b. Try Just once more. If you succeed tell tilTu the en gines and hose will tie there within an hour or they need not look for them. IOyou understand?" "All rinht. Mr. Oakley." And Ourks moved up the platform with alacrity. He was relieved of one Irksome re sponsibility. He had his own theories as to w buthe stranger was, but he told himself It was none of his business. As soon as he was out of hearing I'an turned to his father and aald ear nestly: "Look here, daddy, I can't allow you to do It We are neither of cs popu lar. It's bad enoogh for me to bave to go."
