“I will,” cried Storm emphatically.
He turned to the foreman of their
switching crew, who stood near, and
pointed to the engine puffing at some
little distance. “Couple on to that
outfit car, Carty, as quick as the Lord
will let you, and get ready for a run.’’
Carty hurried down the track.
Storm, giving orders right and left,
asked Wood to send a crew of men
to throw everything movable in the
outfit car out on the sand.
Seagrue, watching from a distance
the sudden activity among Rhineland-
er’s forces, watched the new develop-
ments with much curiosity and some I
littl** anxiety. He saw the switch en- j
gine speed down the line, couple to
the outfit car and back away with it ;
for a dash. In the cab all was ex- ,
citement. Under Storm’s orders, prep- •
arations were being made for a rec-
ord dash, and as the engine stopped

Cassidy. In another hour Rhineland-
er’s men had made their title to the
disputed property good.
Cassidy, bewildered by the extraor-
dinary turn things had taken, started
to walk back to where Seagrue was,
but on reflection, he changed his mind
and, lighting bis pipe, sat quietly
down on a part of the roof that had
for many years given him a peaceful
shelter, to view the vengeance so
swiftly taken on his former abode. He
had less than Seagrue had to worry
about. With both checks in his pock-
et. he felt sure be must realize on at
least one, and he sat on the scene
long after the men had quit work,
thoughtfully smoking his pipe and re-
flecting on the queer things that may
happen in a real railroad war.
(TO BE CONTINUED.) X
Fellow Citizens:—My reason
tor offering for tax collector of
Runnels County is because 1 want
the office and 1 crave to be honor-
ed one time by my countrymen. 1
am running on my own initiative.
1 am hungering for the vote and
the moral support and influence
<)f every white man in the county
the vote of a nigger or Mexican
but 1 will not knowingly accept
If a certain number of these
should vote for me and I am elect
ed by that number 1 will resigi
on the spot and go home and g<
to work. If I ain elected by tin
good people of my county, noth
ing could induce me to accept
third term. 4 I believe in passing
the pie—rotation. I do not be-
lieve in one man eating pie at the
public counter all his life, while
the other boyseal corn pone and
frizzled bacon. It is moral!*
Into the blazing sunshine convinced
Seagrue that something was up.
Rhinelander's laborers and track lay-
ers under Storm’s directions parted
and stood expectant at each side of
the run of track on which Cassidy’s
house had been so unceremoniously
dropped.
Storm’s
meant.
Storm,
trlls, stood on the footboard as the
sturdy switch engine started. On it
came, accelerating fast from one, two,
ten, twenty miles an hour up to thirty.
With the safety valve popping and
smoke streaming in a cloud from the
stack, the engine with Rhinelander's
movable hotel in front of it. bore down
on Cassidy’s house. Cassidy, himself,
sunning on a pile of Seagrue’s ties,
with his pipe in his mouth and bis
two checks tn his pocket, little sus-
pected what was coming. But Rhine-
lander’s men saw and understood it
all. A mighty yell rose from the de-
lighted gang as the engine and car
sped on. Storm, bareheaded, his black
hair streaming in the sun—clinging
with one hand for safety as he swung
j from the end of the foot-board and
stretched his left arm far out as
semaphore—signaled the cab.
The engineer checked heavily,
stream of fire ground from the driving
wheels; the engine jumped in the grip
of the brakes and the outfit car. re-
leased, headed like a catapult straight
at Cassidy's house. Men jumped back
as it hurtled past. The next instant,
crashing and smashing ahead, it tore
completely through Cassidy’s house
A great cloud of dust and timbers
rose as from an explosion and the next
moment what had been a house lay
torn into a thousand pieces along the
right of way.
Like a spent cannon ball the outfit
car drove on; men, amazed, watching
its wild flight. It struck the end of
the rails, hung for a moment poised,
trembled and toppled headlong from
the embankment into a borrow pit.
Storm sprang from the foot board of
the engine, and before the dust of the
crash had settled, called his men for-
ward. Rhinelander's gang responded
with fresh hope and energy. Seagrue
saw with wrath how completely he
had been outplayed. He called his
men together to rush the Copper
Range forces for possession of the
Cassidy yard. They ran forward with
picks and shovels, and it looked to
Storm as If blood might be shed in
spite of everything, when the long,
shrill whistle of Soda Water Sal was
heard down the line, and within a
few moments Helen brought the old
engine

of the gangway. Storm met his boss.
Just what view Amos would take of
the summary measures be had adopt-
ed to clear their right of way the
young man felt now a little uncertain
about. Rhinelander looked ahead for
the familiar landmark which he bad
just acquired at the rather extrava-
gant price of ten thousand dollars and
asked where the Cassidy house was.
; "Ahl gahn t’ hell,” interposed Cassidy
(who stood listening*, pathetically.
Storm pointed to the wreckage lit-
tering the right of way and told the
story of what had been
grue and how his play
feated. Rhinelander’s
with enthusiasm and Helen’s eyes
danced with sheer joy. Seagrue, dis-
gruntled and beaten, bad seated him-
self on his own right of way on the
