right away quick let’s take up this matter of celebrating the centennial and Old Home Week. The lenten season is at hand and the social events which have kept many people busy for several weeks past will cease to a'large extent. It’s a good thing to let up a little and to remember that the social life is not the only thing we have to think about. We travel fast in these days and we spend our energy and our health by over-doing society, we eat too much and we smoke too much and we do many things too much and it’s a good thing to let up for a period and to think about our life, present and future. The big primary will soon be history. Only a few hours ’ remain in which to cast your ballot for those men of your party whom you prefer to represent you during the cam- ‘ paign. Only the counting and tally- ■ ing of the vote, a job of some dimensions is necessary to close the scrap duration. Much interest is being manwhich has been of several months’j ifested in the results and the Daily Democrat has made arrangements to secure the vote as early as possible,' requesting the inspectors to send in the vote of each party as soon as! counted out. One of these men prom- i ised us this morning to have the re-; suits of the democratic vote in his precinct at this office by nine o’clock and it is probable that returns will: come in by that time from at least some of the precincts. We will do our best to handle this important and . interesting news and will be glad to give to the public any information we ' have. The telephone lines will be: open over the county after 7 o'clock | this evening and we will appreciate I any effort made to aid us in gettnig these returns. SILVER JUBILEE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I scenes were given and tqid in an interesting way. At the conclusion of the program, Mrs. S. E. Shamp in an excellent talk presented roses to the charter members and to the grand officers. A gen- . eral social commingling followed and ] later the scene was transferred to the dining room where both light and dark I cake and brick ice cream, in white and 1 chocolate were dispensed from tables 1 as buffets in the center of the room, ‘ presided over by a committee of Py- ( tliian Sisters.

But it seemed to her the first thing to be attempted was to get him well away from Seagrue'a influence. Seagrue, with the ample backing at his disposal, had established an elabo- | rate construction camp well out on the desert, where he coupled with his railroad building enterprise as much I of fraudulent deceit and force as he ; dare display toward Rhinelander and ! the men in the Copper Range & Tidewater construction work. The prize for which both roads were playing in the tremendous effort of each to , get ahead cf the other was a substantial one, and Seagrue was never called to account at his headquarters | for his strategy in the construction trenches. On the morning that Helen took I Spike down street to a Las Vegas I clothing store, had him fitted out with I new clothes and provided him with ; some pocket money, Seagrue was on ■ his way over to his camp, accom- i I panied by the two strong-arms, known by no more respectable names than Bill and Lug. He saw Helen on the street with Spike and watched the two for a moment. Dispatching Bill then to the garage for his motor car and bidding Lug, on his life, not to lose sight cf Spike, Seagrue, himself, hastened to the office of the local sheriff. Explaining to this official, alreadv made complacent by generous c;ferings, that he had on his hands a contract laborer who was trying to jump his job, he engaged his promise of vigorous co-operation to bring Spike to time. Seagrue led the way with him to the machine, which Bill had brought up. and. getting in with the sheriff. Bill drove toward the station. Helen had returned with Spate to the office, she had paid for a railroad ticket which was to carry him to the city, where, she believed, freed from Seagruo’s contaminating influence, Spike would have a chance to get back on his feet. Spike, in a comfortable frame of mind, was looking down at the ticket In his hand and reflecting what an extraordinary friend Helen had been, and how considerately she had treated him, when a quiet voice at his elbow spoke just two words into his ear: "Hello, Spike!" Spike, who lived, as it were, at all Mmes over a powder magazine of the unexpected, started a little as he turned to look into the composed gray eyes of Seagrue. He stood a moment bound by their spell. Seagrue's face was lighted only by a pleasant smile. “Where you going, Spike?" he asked in friendly fashion. He looked about him with indecision, and as his eyes wandered he saw Sea- ■ grue beckoning to the sheriff to come over from the machine. Seagrue, meantime, put his hand in his pocket. From it he drew a worn little pamphlet, and affecting careful deliberation, held it in his hand before Spike’s wavering eyes. In the blackfaced type on the cover a name and description >ere printed, but what Spi.b* saw staring at him were the figures and the words: “$500.00 REWARD!” But to Spike that one line of type meant infinitely more than it could l , ~"an to any other man. Seagrue watched closely the changing expressions on the hunted criminal’s face; he was even quiet and I pleasant in his demeanor as he muttered: “You, shouldn't try to leave me, Spike. At least, not until I say you may go.” “Seagrue,” Spike almost hissed, “I can send you to the chair; man —do you know that?” , Seagrue lost none of his composure. He returned Spike’s angry look undis-, tui bf 1: "Do you know what will hap-[ i ' After they lift me out of it, i

, suicide, I’m ready to go to the straps I ahead of you or after you—that's as the sheriff may prefer. But until that moment comes. Spike"—a threatening intonation made itself felt within the studied utterance —“until that moment, Spike, you will take your orders from me—understand ?” Spike looked gloomily down at the ticket he held in his band. He realized he was utterly helpless. "All right,” he said gruffly. Seagrue shook hands with the sheriff as he followed Spike across the platform. ”1 don’t think I’ll have any more trouble with him," he said in an undertone. "Thank you just the same, sheriff.” With the rival construction crews, matters were reaching a somewhat i critical stage in their race. Both the | Colorado & Coast and the Copper j Range & Tidewater companies had reached the limits of the city of Las Vegas, where, owing to the topography of the country as well as to the difficulties of getting through the town, possible rights of way were exceedingly scarce. A section almost immediately in front now of both con struetion gangs was occupied by a ! M Helen Understood the Necessity for Prompt Action. weather-beaten pioneer who bore the name of Cassidy, and his comfortable cottage obstructed both surveys. The advent cf two railroads building neck and neck across the desert through the little town had naturally stirred every inhabitant of it to a high pitch cf excitement. Small wonder that Cassidy’s head had become in some degree confused as to values, and by the time Rhinelander got around to see the bronzed pioneer with a check for two thousand dollars —the price first put upon the property by its veteran owner —valuations had risen and Cassidy declared that he would sell for ten thousand dollars and not a cent less. Rhinelander, considerably taken aback, impatiently assented to the exorbitant sum named, and going inside the cottage, wrote out his check for it. In exchange he received Cassidy's rather uncertain signature, on the customary legal form, granting to the Copper Range & Tide Water Railway company privileges over the Cassfily land as a freehold owner. Seagrue, arriving from town, learned from his foreman of the status of the insignificant plot of ground, adverse possession of which might frustrate their persistent plans for obstructing Rhinelander. With his surveyors Seagrue hufried to the end of the work, and reached the ground just in time to encounter Rhinelander coming out of Cassidy’s house and the agreement duly signed and delivered in his hand. And behind Rhinelander came George Storm ready to bring the men up to take possession of the Cassidy demesne. Seagrue and his followers halted them and Rhinelander, feeling the victory all his own, explained the situation to Seagrue, while Storm, amiably, but firmly, ordered Seagrue's men to get off the Copper Range property. Seagrue, without saying anything to controvert what he had heard, walked straight into Cassidy s house. “I’m sorry to be a little late, Cassidy,” he began, bluntly. "You know we want your property. And we re prepared to pay you a reasonable price for it—not an extravagant price,” declared Seagrue, impressively, “nothing of that kind, but—” he asked, buttonholing the old man with friendly emphasis, "just what is right and fair. I don’t know what you consider your property worth,” he continued, talking so fast the old man could not get a word in edgewise, “but I have written out a cheek here for fifteen thousand dol-

lars. And It you will give me yoirt rignature to this right of way contract 1 the check, old boy, is yours.” “Hut—" sputtered Cassidy, with dis-, Acuity, ‘T’ve sold this place this mln-' ute, Mr. Seagrue, to this man Rhinelander here for ten thousand dollars,” “Do you mean to say,” demanded Seagrue, impressively, "that you don’t consider your property worth fifteen thousand dollars?” "Sure, 1 do,” agreed Mike, his eyes blinking with astonishment, "Then," exclaimed Seagrue, solemnly, "this man lias fraudulently imposed on you,” Cassidy, bewildered, looked to his friendly adviser for a suggestion. “Phwat the divvle’m I to do?” "Do!” thundered Seagrue, seeing now that he had his victim coming. “Tear up your fraudulent contract here and now and sign an honest one.” The sturdy pioneer, with a show of . Indignation, tore up his copy of Rhinet lander's contract, signed a more equii table one for the obliging Seagrue and i put another and untainted check for fifteen thousand dollars into his i pocket. Seagrue beckoffied to his posse of men and, headed by Cassidy, they told Rhinelander and his companions to get off the premises before they were put off. Rhinelander, familiar with the bullying tactics of his enemies, saw the situation he faced. But he stood hie ground before Seagrue and Cassidy, listening patiently to what the victimized old man had to say, but absolutely firm in his resolve to stand on his rights. "My right of way is legal," be said to both men. "And I’ll bring the law here right now to enforce it.” Hastening to the telegraph office inside one of his outfit cars, he telegraphed to Helen: Seagrue is using force to protest my right of way. Have attorney meet me at the depot at 11 o’clock. Arrange for a special to bring deputies up her*. RHINELANDER. The move was not lost on Seagrue. When he saw Rhinelander board the car containing the telegraph outfit, he summoned his own operator and dispatched him to a spot between Rhinelander's car and the main line with instructions to "tap in” and take what* ever messages passed. Rhinelander thus sat in his own car watching the operator tick off his message to Helen, and her reply came promptly: Attorney will meet you on arrival. Special will be ready to leave any time after eleven. HELEN. But Seagrue's operator industriously copied both message and answer and turned them in to his employer. Storm, in the meantime, was making the most of his opportunity, and with his men on Cassidy’s place was preparing to push possession as far ts possible. "Run the steel cables around the house, George, and we will swing it in later.” After giving this order, Rhinelander had hastened to the station to meet the local train when it came in. So swift, however, had been Seagrue’s dispositions that his redoubtable scouts, Bill and Lug. were already at the station with instructions from Seagrue to delay the special until nightfall; by which time he reckoned he could make his possession secure on the Cassidy place. These worthies had already reacned the special and boarded it. On the platform, Rhinelander met Helen and (the attorney she had summoned, and with him, Rhinelander hastened uptown to get armed deputies—Bill and i Lug now trailing behind to keep track of every move. At Cassidy’s, Storm was urging his men to speed on with their track laying. Seagrue s gang was almost (abreast of them and setting a pace,: doo. that it was difficult to cope with —Seagrue, himself, directing the oper-1 ations. The house, so long the peace-' fal abode of old man Cassidy, now became the very storm center of an extraordinary disturbance. Seagrue racked his brain for an idea that would hamper the advance of Storm and his energetic crew. And when the i inspiration struck him, he put it instantly into effect. "They're beating us,” he said to his foreman; “that’s flat. But I can stop j them. Bring up the wrecker.” The word was passed and the ponderous wrecking car, its huge crane thrust threateningly forward, was pushed alongside Cassidy’s house and surrounded by a swarming gang of men. Seagrue’s order to throw out the whips was instantly executed and almost within a minute, it seemed, after the huge machine had been brought into play the house was enveloped in a network of steel. There was a sharp word of command; a rattle of pistons: the old house quivered for an instant in the grip of the mysterious monster —then it rosa like a rnad aeropla ns from its foundations; hung and swung a moment doubtfully in the air, pitched headlong toward the other end of the lot and settled with a heavy bang I down to earth exactly in the path of Storm and his perspiring men. Rhinelander, the moment he so-1 cured the deputies, hastened back to the station and boarded the special train. A large engine coupled to one couch, stood in waiting, and as they pulled out, Helen wished him good luck. Unfortunately, Seagrue’s two ' worthies, Bill and Lug, unobserved by ’ anybody, hid on the head end of the j coach, and as soon as the town was left behind, the two climbed over the 1 tender and held up the fireman and 1 . engineer. The engine crew, taken 1 thus unawares, could offer no resist- ' ance whatever and the two were forced over the tender to the head end ( of the coach.

cutting off tne engme as soon k* i they had accomplished this, Seagrue s I men pulled away with the stolen loco-j ■ motive and left the coach Just where It abruptly stopped when the air went on, with the intention of putting as many miles as possible between the coachload of deputies and Rhinelander’s chances for defending the right oti I way. The conductor of the marooned coach did not lose a moment in getting into action. An emergency telephone was snatched from Its bracket, connected up with the main line wires and the conductor called up Helen in the office at Las Vegas. In a few words he told her what had happened, and while Rhinelander and the deputies listened around him, he asked what she could do to help them out of their predicament. Helen understood the necessity for prompt action. But how, she asked , herself as she looked anxiously from the office window up and down the yards, to help them quickly? Her eye lighted on the little roundhouse , away down at the lower end of the yard. Resting within the friendly shade of its north wall she espied the crazy old yard switch engine, known irreverently among the switchmen as "Soda Water Sal.” Soda Water Sal took her disreputable nickname from the fact of her misfortune in being crusted white a good part of the time with alkali The excited girl dashed at the top of her speed down the platform and across the yard to rouse the crew and get them to carry her to Rhinelander. But though Soda Water Sal stood as peaceful as an old Dobbin munching her noonday repast, the switching crew was nowhere to be found. Beyond a doubt, Helen felt, they were all down town, eating their dinners, and to find them quickly was out of the question. She called out a few times, hardly hoping for a response,

and none met her ears. There was steam up, and without loss of time Helen climbed into the cab, and. opening the throttle, gave Sal steam.. A venerable mare, struck, in the midst of her lunch, with a whip, could not have been more startled than the old engine at Helen's summons. Soda Water Sal started and trembled. Helen touched her heels again. No such sight as she made was ever before seen on the main line of the Copper Ranged & Tidewater. If Soda' Water Sal had been dancing a twostep on the rails, she could not have plunged and cavorted more wildly than she did as Helen, pushing her: to a pace undreamed of in her long and peaceful yard career, achieved a miracle of speed with her. Up the line, Rhinelander, the dep-i uties, the train crew and the engineer, fireman of the stolen engine sur* rounding the marooned coach, searched the horizon vainly for a sign of assistance. The conductor, the moment after he had raised Helen on the wire and told of their plight out between stations on the main lino,, had not been able to get another word from Las Vegas office. In his impatience and excitement, Rhinelander had taken over the telephone and used his best endeavors to make himself heard by Helen. The suspicion ; came to him that Seagrue, with some i unsuspected deviltry, had succeeded : in cutting off even wire communication from the helpless rescue party. But as he dropped the receiver In despair, a shout arose among the dep- : uties, and, looking down the far peri spective of the long tangent that separated them from Las Vegas. 'Rhjne- > lander's men saw a faint line of smoka | on the horizon. It grew rapidly more distinct and spread blacker and heayfer. An engine was bearing down' on them.

tn© queer flyer, and Soda Water Sal I was well upon them before they realj ized it was she. None the less hearty, | however, was her welcome, and when ; the expectant throng made out Helen's ' face at the cab window a chorus of [ shouts went up to greet her. With her hair in the wind and her syen burning with excitement, the white-faced girl brought the aston- ; Bhsd old machine to a stop close to *e coach. Rhinelander and the con- ! iuetor ran to greet her. Few words were needed in explanation, few were ost. Coupling the coach ahead of the J fWHdk. engine and hustling the uep-

Had there been 3 nv doubt in their minds as to the I temper of the men pursuing them, litI Re puffs of white smoke rising from I the coach front, and the whine of rifle bullets about their ears would have convinced Lug and Bill of the danger threatening them. Safety first was a. household word with the two. Nothing of the disposition of martyrs had place in their make up, and. abandoning the engine, Lug. with a word to Bill to ease the pace, descended the steps of the tender and tumbled down a soft bank to the right of way; his companion followed; a few minutes later Soda Water Sal, rounding the curve behind, shot past them with her reeling coach. Overtaking the abandoned engine on a grade, a few miles ahead, the coach was again coupled to it by the Rhinelander party, and when the queerlooking combination reached the first ... .. a. i_ zl- Din arm.

passing track, the engine of the special. almost dead, was vigorously kicked by Soda Water Sal, together with the car, out into the clear. And Helen, with the more venturous of her legal lights clinging to the footboard , and running boards of Soda M ater Sal and others swarming in her tender and crowding the cab. again rushed the posse on to the scene of the trouble. At the camp Rhinelander's forces were in trouble. Seagrue's strategy had completely blocked them —every- ! body was stumped by Seagrue’s audac- ’ tty. And while the leaders were trying to pull themselves together, Sea- ' grue's men were rapidly extending their possession of the disputed ' i ground. Storm, realizing that at any cost the situation must somehow be recouped, yen oyer to where Wood waa watching the enemy aijd whispered to him. Whatever the proposal, the old man was startled when George Storm made it. Wood looked toward the camp dubiously. “I don’t know,” he said finally. "That’s pretty radical medicine. But I Rhinelander isn’t here and I suppose we've got to do something. It's a cinch they’ve got us beat out of three' months’ time in another hour, for If they once get hold of this section, we've got to drag them into court. If yo’t think the old man will stand for it George, slam away. You know as! well as I do. But I can't take the responsibility.” I will,” cried Storm emphatically. He turned to the foreman of their switching crew, who stood near, and: pointed to the engine puffing at somelit tic distance. “Couple on to that outfit car. Carty, as quick as the Lord (rill let you. and get ready for a run.” Carty hurried down the track. Storm, giving orders right and left, sttk d Wood to sent! a crew of men

Cy .l era under Storm’s directions parted and stood expectant at each aldo of the run of track on which Cassidy'# house had been so unceremoniously dropped. Seagrue saw, too late, what Storm's radical move in the Qght meant. Storm, scent of battle tn his no». trils. stood on the footboard ns the sturdy switch engine started.

The engineer checked heavily.

Like a spent cannon ball ths outfit car drove on; men, amazed, watching its wild flight. It struck the end oi the rails, hung for a moment poised trembled and toppled headlong from the embankment into a borrow pit. Storm sprang from the foot board ol the engine, and before the dust oi the crash had settled, called his men for ward. Rhinelander’s gang responded with fresh hope and energy. Seacrue saw with wrath how completely ht had been outplayed. He called his men together to rush the Copier Range forces for possession of tlid, Cassidy yard They ran forward •' 'th picks and shovels, and it looked to Storm as if blood might be shed in spite of everything, when the lon-' shrill whistle of Soda Water Sai was heard down the line, and ■within a few moments Helen brought the old engine to a stop at the end of tha steel. The deputies, followed by Rhine lander and his attorney, poured out of the gangway. Storm met his boss Just what view Amos wo .d tak- oi the summary measures ’-e had adopted to dear their right of way the young man felt new a little uncertain about.
