Uncle Bill drew on his pipe thought-
fully. His shoulders were bent,` his
face se seamed and wrinkled one could
hardly fellow the line of his •features.
Only his eyes hinted at the mental
al
and physical;activity which 'twenty
years of railroading had failed to tire.
And at the moment his eyes were
focused. on Hawthorne,
"What about theism ghosts in• Big

"Fact. I asked the boss to let you

If the older elan was overjoyed he
didn't show it; he merely nodded with
a trace of sullenness. And then a
clerk from the office.. pushed through
the crowd with a bundle of orders
which he proceeded to"fasten.to the
smoke-hegrinled bulletin board. Frank f
was named as engineer of 'No'. 86,
the Limited; Uncle Pill as fireman;
there were other changes.
Now it so happened that Edward
Adler came in at that moment from h

were congratulating Hawthorne when

something important to tell you."
"When' a man and,.wornan fall` in

"Who' said anything about falling in
love? Frank Hawthorne, you're the
most conceited, impertinent—"
"You've got to"admit it some day.
But meanwhile, if' you can think of
anything more impartant, there's a
quiet spot yonder in the park."
Threading their way through the
shrubbery -opposite the station, they
ound a bench protected from prying
eyes. She motioned him to - sit' beside
her, anti her first words left him curt-
usly apprehensive:
"Father sent you a message befo
e died!"
Hawthorne moved uneasily; the old;
man Fipps had been peculiar during'
the last years of his life. Many of
he strange" stories told of Big Cypress
ad originated with him, and Frank'
emembered certain evenings when he
ad walked' home with' Fipps ' and
rstened to the -older man's' faneies—
ancies utterly incomprehensible- to
outh and high -spirits and sublime in-
difference.. Yet now he was to receive
message front the dead! Something
his nature hitherto dormant set his
erves jumping. -
"Believe me, Dad was never out of
is mind; you know that, Frank. -I
want, you to promise you'll think none
e less. of him if you don't' understand
f eel it's nonsense," Here' she hesi-
ted, her eyes :brilliant with tears.
He was a wonderful father; we loved
him so dearly! Even if his message is
odd, he meant it for the ;best—in your
interest. And. it's --it's like a voice
from another world!
"Yesterday 'morning, the morning

Hawthorne pushed. forward.
"Well?" 'he said quietly, although a
his jaw was set. Doubtless he sur-, in
raised what was coming. The crowd n
shouldered closer; the two men faced
each `other in front of the bulletin h
board, Adler white to the roots of his
hair, Hawthorne sinilling a little, but til
not provocatively,
"You wanted to see me?" he hinted. t
"Yes! Who's backing you?" The
sneer was obvious,
"Just what do eeou mean?"
A brakeman laid his hand on- Ad-
ler's 'shoulder.
"Hold on," he advised kindly. "I
know it's tough on you—you're the
older .man—but it isn't Frank's fault.
Get after the boss,., see your union.
president—"
"This is my scrap!" snapped the
angry engineer. "You butt out! Now,
Hawthorne, I repeat, who's backing
you at headquarters?"
Frank held his temper.
"I'm, sorry," he said. "It seems to
me T have sort of swiped your job. If
you can fix it with the superintendent,
you can drive the Limited as far as.
I'rn concerned.
But such generosity was beyond Ad-
ler s understanding; he merely read •in
it mockery.
"Oh, yes, I can? You know blamed
well I can't. You're pretty cocksure
you can knife .me in the back and get
away with it, aren't` you?"
Frank Jost his smile instantly.
"Stop!" and the' word had a certain
explosive quality, "That's a lie --

c efore Hawthorne could guard him-
self the other struck him fairly be
tween the eyes.; He reeled back -blink-
ng, caught himself. Then something
