'he Misunderstanding.
No attempt was made to minimize
the tooth that the blow to the division
Was a staggering one. The loss of
Smoky Creek bridge- put almost a
thousand mnee of the mountain divi-
sion. out of business. ' Perishable
freight and tune freight were diverted
to other lines. Passengers were trans-
ferred; 'witches were SerVed to them
in the deep valley, and they were sup-
plid by an ingenuous advertising de-
partment withpictures ot. the historic
bridge as it had long stood, and their
addresses were taken with a promise
of a picture of the ruins ::eloky
Creek bridge had long been famous in
mountain song and story. For 'tone
generation of western railroad men it
had stood as a monument to the earli-
est effort to conquer the Rockies with
a railroad. Built long before the days
of steel, this high and slender link in
the first trancontinental line had for
1 thirty years served faithfully at its
danger -post; only to fail in the end at
the. hands of a bridge assassin; ' nor
had the mystery of its fate ever com-
pletely been solved, though it is be-
lieved to lie with Murray Sinclair in
the Frenchman hills. The engineer-
ing department and the operating de-
partment united in a tremenduous ef-
fort to bring about a resumption of
traffic. Glover's men, pulled off con-
struction, were sent forward in train-
loads. Dancing's linemen strung arc -
lights along the creek entil the canyon
twinkled at night like a mountain vil-
lage, and men in three shifts working
elbow to elbow unceasingly to run the
switch -backs down •to the creek -bed.
There, by cribbing across the bettorn,
they got in a temporary line.
Train movement was thrown into a
spectacle of confusion. Upon the in-
cessant and well -ordered activities of
the road, the burning of the bridge
fell like the heel of a heavy boot on
an ant -hill; e but the railroad men like
ants rose to the emergency and
where the possible failed, achieved the
impossible.
McCloud spent his days at the creek
and his nights at Medicine Bend with
his assistant and chief- despatcher,
advising, counselling, studying out
-
trouble reports, and steadying where -
ever he could the weakened lines of
. his operating forces. He was getting
his first tastelif the trials of the hard-
est -worked and poorest paid man in
ehe operating department of a rail-
road—the division superintendent.
To' these were added personal annoy-
ancs. A trainload of Duck Bar steers
shipped by Lance -Dunning from the
Crawling Stone ranch, had been caught
west of the bridge the very night of
the fire. They had been loaded at
Tipton and shipped to catch a good
market; and under extravagant prom-
ises from the live -stock agent of a
quick run to Chicago. 'When Lance
Dunning learned that his catle had
been caught west of the break arid
would have to be unloaded, he swore
ep &horse in hot haste and; started for
Medicine Bend. McClouchl - who had
not elosed his eyes for sixty hours
has just got into Medicine Bend front
Smoky Creek and was sitting at his
desk buried in a mass of *pers, but
he ordered the cattknan admitted.
He was, in fact, eager to meet the
manager of the big -ranch and the cous-
in of Dickeie. Lance Dinining stood
above six feet in height, and was i
handsome man :hi spite of the hard
lines around his eyes as he walked m;
but neither his manner nor his expres-
sion was amiable.

you," said he, ignoring McClovidis ans-
wer and a proffered chair. "This is
your office isn't it?" f
: McCloud, 2,1K -de surprised, answered
.gam and civilly: "It certainly is:
tut I have been at Smoky Creek for.
two or three days," • .
"What have you done with my cat-
tle?"
- "The Duck Bar train was run back
to Point of Rocks and tie cattle were
unloaded at the yard." -
Lance Dunning spoke with increas-
ing harshness: "By whose order was
that done? Why wasn't I notified?
'Have they had feed and water?"
"All the stock caught west of the
bridge was sent back for feed and wa-
ter by rny orders. It has an heentak-
en care of. You should have been not-
ified, certainly; it is the business of
the stock -agent to see to that. Let
me enquire about it -while you are here,
ringing for his clerk.
Dunning lost no time in expressing
himself. "I don't want my cattle held
at Point of Roast" he said -angrily,
"Your Point of Rocks yards are infect-
ed My cattle shouldn't have ' been
sent there."
"Oh, no! The old yards where they
had a touch of fever were burned off
the 'face of the earth a year ago. The
rew yards are perfectly sanitary. The
loss of the bridge has cripple us, you
knew. Your cattle are being well
cared for, Mr. Dunning, and if you
doubt it you may go up and give our
men any orders you like in the matter
at our expense."
"You're taking altogether too much
on yourself when you run my stock
i
over the country n this way," ex-
claimed Dunning, refusing to be pla-
cated. "How am 1 to get to Point
of Rocks—walk there?"
"Not at all," returned McCloud,
ringing up his clerk and asking for a
pass, which was brought back in a
moment and handed to Dunning. "The
cattle," continued McCloud, "can be
run down, unloaded, and driven arouud
the break to-morrow—with the loss of
only two days."
"And in the meantime I lose my
market." ,
"It is tee bad certainly, but I sup-
pose it will be several days before we
can get a line across Smoky Creek."
"Why weren't the cattle sent through
that way yesterday? What have they
been held at Point, of Rocks for? I
eall the thing badly managed:" •
tiire couldn't get the empty cars up
from Piedmont for the transfer until
today; empties are very scarce ev-
erywhere now."
"There always have been empties
here when they were wanted until
lately. There's been no head or tail to
anything on this division for six
Months."
"I'm pony that you have that im-
preesion."
_ "That impression is very general,"
declared the stockman, with an oath,
"and if you keep on dischargingthe 4
onlyi men on this division that are I
competent to handle a break like this,
it is likely to continue."
* "Just a moment!" McCloud's Anger
rose pointedly. "My failure to please
you in caring for your stock in an
emergency may be properly a mattes
of comment; your opinion as to the
way I am running this division, is of
course, your own; but don't attempt
to criticiSe the retention or discharge
of any man on my pay -roll!"
Dunning strode toward him. "I'm.
a shipper on this line; when it suits
me to criticise you or your methods,
i
or anybody else's, 1 ex ect to do so,"
he retdrted in high to es.
"But you cannot tell e how to run
my business!" thundered IVIeClOud,
leaning over the table in front of him.
As the two men glared at each other
Rooney Lee opened the door. His sur-
prise at the situation amounted to
consternation. • He shuffled to the
corner of the eoorre and while McCloud
and Dunning engaged hotly again,
Reoney, from the corner, threw a shot
of his own into the quarrel. "On time,"
he roared.
The angry men turned. "What's
on time?" asked McCloud curtly.
I "Number One; she's in and chang-
ing engines. I told them you were go-
ing West," declared Rooney in so
deep tones that his fiction would never
have been suspected. If his cue had
been, "My lord,the conductor waits,"
it could not have been rung in more
opportunely.
Dunning, to emphasize, without a
further word, his disgust for the sit-
- nation and his contempt for the man-
agement, tore into scraps the pass thot
s had been given him, threw the scraps

And with •Lance Dunning glaring at
hime.somewhat speechless, he put_ on
his hat andowaIked out of the room.
It was but one of • the many disa-

from the tie-up followed 'him at eery

tioas are outlined In this statement:
41 believe that the aeroplane will
solve many difficulties of polar ex-
plorationwork, especially sine,e the
aircraft has attained such a high
state, of perfection. It is now' pos-
sible to cover 200 kilometers an
hour, where formerly it took two
weeks to cover, the same distance
with 'slow dog sledges. I believe
that I am the pioneer to use an aero-
plane for polar exploration, but I am
not deterred in my resolve, espeeially
since I have recently obtained a mili-
tary aviator's license."
This • proposed adventure cannot
fail to recall the enterprise In which
Dr. 8, A. Andree engaged, nineteen
years ago last summer, The world
has swung around very rapidly since
then, so rapidly that even the name
of the man whose undertaking fo-
cused the interest of all mankind for
a period has been almost forgotten.
All other methods of reaching the
North Pole having failed, the idea
of searching for it with the aid of a
balloon was broached in Sweden in
1895, and Dr. An dree, who had
achieved considerable success as an
aeronaut, was chosen to lead the ex-
pedition. The start was made from
Danes Island, north of Spitzbergen,
in a balloon that was supposed to be
as nearly perfect as any ever design-
ed or built, on July 11, 1897, with
two companions and five tons of sup-
plies. A large nu mber of distin-
guished people 'witnessed the depar-
ture. The balloon rose from its
hangar at 2.30 in the afternoon.
' From it dangled heavy guide ropes
which were intended to regulate the
speed of the machine, and, in some
degree, to guide it over tn • tio:thern
floes. At 10.30 p.m, 'krew
