Bigga paused * brief Instant In suspense — then the ax circled viciously and hit the wood. "Creek-k !" Bigg* shifted tils foot ' .to the angle ef a brace and swung a last desperate stroke square at the v bending fiber. Then he leaped away , 'as pile and hammer plunged reslatleasly down the clayey slope. The next moment he was staring stiffly at the crumpled body of an Italian lying among the tools at the foot of the derrick and he knew the reason ' for the mutiny. Then he observed till box-car sta- I Hon slide by and awoke to realisation. 1 A faint roar from far up the mountain f spurred him on and he rushed forward. He was scrambling over the coal pile to the engine cab when lie felt the sudden iuterroptlon In flight that told of the application of air brakes | He glanced up and beheld a man handling the levers In the cab, not ten feet distant. "Open 'er up ! Let 'er out !" yelled . Biggs, excitedly waving his arms to- ' ward the mountain behind. "Guess not! She's running away — i ' i "Sixteen loose flat tare back of us— I sixteen!" screamed Biggs, as he slidbodily Into the cab and struggled to his . feet. j "Hell!" ejaculated the stranger. Then he pulled e lever way over. "XVho're you 7" shouted Biggs. j "Golf, fireman, freah from the water ' tank!" His dripping garments corroborated 1 bis vtoteinent amply and forced a smile I to Biggs' face. Behind tliem the driver waved and , swung In snaky circle*. "We're doing all abe'll (land!" the fireman called. "Guess we're tagged, all right:" "What r "They're golug to catch us!" "We'll win by about six car leugthf I I'uke the Are !" he called. "Hurrah 1 Man at switch"' shouted the fireman an Instant later "T tint's BIB. bless Ids In-art!" i "Homestretch!" called ii.ifr, as he; i threw down the shovel. -The roar of the two catapult* was now on* thunderous roll.
