CHAPTER Xl.— Continued.
The Rajah dropped his cigar butt
In the snow and trod upon it.
"Possibly you will faveh us with
your company to breakfast in the
Rosemary, Misteh Winton —you and
Misteh Adams. No? Then I bid you
a vehy good morning, gentlemen, and
hope to see you lateh." And he swung
up to the steps of the private car.
Half an hour afterwards, the snow
still whirling dismally, Winton and
Adams were cowering over a handful
of hissing embers, drinking their com
missary coffee and munching the camp
cook's poor excuse for a breakfast.
"Jig's tip pretty definitely, don't you
think?" said the Technologian, with
n glance around at the idle track
force huddling for shelter under the
lee of the flats and the decapod.
Wixton shook his head and groaned.
"I'm a ruined man, Morty."
Adams found his cigarette case.
"I guess that's so," he said, quite
lie artlessly. Then: "Hello! what is
our friend the enemy up to now?"
McGrath's fireman was uncoupling
the engine from the Rosemary, and
Mr. Darrah, complacently lighting his
after-breakfast cigar, came across to
the hissing ember fire.
"A word with you, gentlemen, if
you will faveh me," he began. "I am
about to run down to Argentine on my
engine, and I propose leaving the la
dies in your cha'ge, Misteh Winton.
Will you give me your word of honeh,
sell, that they will not be annoyed in
my absence?"
Winton sprang up, losing his tem
per again.
"It's —well, it's blessed lucky that
you know your man, Mr. Darrah!" he
exploded. "Goon about your busi
ness—which is to bring another army
of deputy sheriffs down on us, I take
it. You know well enough that no
man of mine will lay a hand on your
car so long as the ladies are In it."
The Rajah thanked him, dismissed
the matter with a Chesterfieldian
wave of his hand, climbed to his place
in the cab, and the engine shrilled
away around the curve and disap
peared in the snow-wreaths.
Adams rose and stretched himself.
"By Jove! when it comes to cheek,
pure and unadulterated, commend me
to a Virginia gentleman who has ac
quired the proper modicum of west
ern bluff," he laughed. Then, with
a cavernous yawn dating back to the
sleepless night: "Since there is noth
ing immediately pressing, I believe I'll
go and call on the ladies. Won't you
come along?"
"No!" said Winton, savagely; and
the Technologian lounged off by him
self.
Some little time afterward Winton,
glooming over his handful of spitting
embers, saw Adams and Virginia come
out to stand together on the observa
tion platform of the Rosemary. They
talked long and earnestly, and when
Winton was beginning to add the dull
pang of unreasoning jealousy to his
iother hurtings Adams beckoned him.
"I should think you might come and
•say 'Good morning' to me, Mr. Win
iton. I'm not Uncle Somerville," said
iMiss Carteret.
Winton said "Good morning," not
too graciously, and Adams mocked
him.
"Besides being a bear with a sore
head. Miss Carteret thinks you're not
much of a hustler," he said, coolly.
"She knows the situation; knows that
you were stupid enough to promise
not to lay hand 3 on the car when we
could have pushed it out of the way
without annoying anybody. None the
less, she thinks that you might find
a way togo on building your railroad
without breaking your word to Mr.
Darrah."
Winton put his sore-heartedness far
enough behind him to smilo and say:
"Perhaps Miss Virginia will be good
enough to tell me how."
"I don't know how," she rejoined,
quickly. "And you'd only laugh at
me" if I should tell you what I
thought of."
"You might try It and see," he ven
tured. "I'm desperate enough to take
suggestions from anyone."
"Tell mo something first. Is your
railroad obliged to run straight along
In the middle of this nice little
you've been making for it?"
"Why—no; temporarily, it can run
anywhere. But the problem is to get
the track laid beyond this crossing be
fore your uncle gets back with a train
load of armed guards."
"Any kind of a track would do,
wouldn't it?—just to secure the cross
ing?"
"Certainly; anything that would
hold the weight of the decapod. We
shall have to rebuild most' of the line,
anyway, as soon as the frost come 3
out of the ground in spring."
The brown eyes became far-seeing.
"I was thinking," she said, musing
ly, "there is no time to make an
other nice liule ridge. But you have
piles an 1 piles of logs over there" —
she meant, the cross-ties —"couldn't
you build a sort of cob ho use ridgrs
with those between your track and
uncle's, and cross behind the car?
Don't laugh, please."
But Winton was far enough from
laughing at her. Why so simple an
tea i:.;l itself ia-
stantly he did not stop to inquire. It
was enough that the Heaven-born idea
had been given.
"Down out of that, Morty!" he
cried. "It's one chance In a thousand.
I'asa the word to the men; I'll bo
with you in a second." And when
Adams was rousing the track force
with the bawling shout of "Ev-ery
body!" Winton looked up into the
brown eyes.
"My debt to you was already very
great; I owe you more now," he said.
But she gave him his quittance in a
whiplike retort.
"And you will stand here talking
about it when every moment is pre
cious? Go!" she commanded; and he
went.
So now we are to conceive the mad
dest activity leaping into being in full
view of the watchers at the windows
of the private car. Winton's chilled
and sodden army, welcoming any bat
tle-cry of action, flew to the work with
a will. In a twinkling the corded
piles of cross-ties had melted to reap
pear in cob-house balks bridging an
angle from the Utah embankment to
that of the spur track in rear of the
blockading Rosemary. In briefest
time the hammermen were spiking the
rails on the rough-and-ready trestle,
and the Italians were bring up the
crossing-frogs.
But the Rajah, astute colonel of in
dustry, had not left himself defense
less. On the contrary, he had provid
ed for this precise contingency by
leaving McGrath's fireman in mechan
ical command on the Rosemary. If
Winton should attempt to build
around the private car, the fireman
was to wait till the critical moment;
then he was to lessen the pressure on
the automatic air-brakes and let the
car drop back down the grade just
far enough to block the new crossing.
So it came about that this mechan
ical lieutenant waited, laughing in his
sleeve, until he saw the Italians com
ing with the crossing-frogs. Then,
I
**■ * 1 "
"RUN, CALVERT."
judging the time to be fully ripe, he
ducked under the Rosemary to "bleed"
the air-tank.
Winton heard the hiss of the escap
ing air above all the industry clamor;
heard, and saw the car start backward.
Then he had a flitting glimpse of a
man in grimy overclothes scrambling
terror-frenzied from beneath the Rose
mary. The thing done had been over
done. The fireman had "bled" the air
tank too freely, and the liberated car,
gathering momentum with every
wheel-turn, surged around the circling
spur track and shot out masterless
on the steeper gradient of the main
line.
Now, for the occupants of a runa
way car on a Rocky mountain line
there is death and naught else. Win
ton saw, in a phantasmagoric flash
of second sight, the meteor flight of
the heavy car; saw the Reverend Bil
ly's ineffectual efforts to apply the
hand-brakes, if by good hap lie should
even guess that there were any hand
brakes; saw the car, bounding and
lurching, keeping to the rails, may
hap, for some few miles below Ar
gentine, where it would crash head
long into the upward climbing
bonate train, and all would end.
In unreasoning misery, lie did the
only thing that offered: Ran blindly
down his own embankment, hoping
nothing but that he might have one
last glimpse of Virginia clinging to
the hand-rail before she should be lost
to him forever.
But as he ran a thought white-hot
from the furnace of despair fell into
his brain to set it ablaze with pur
pose. Beyond the litter of activities
the decapod was standing, empty of
its crew. Bounding up into the cab,
he released the brake and sent the
great engine flying down the track of
the new line.
In the measuring of the flr.-,t mile
the despair-born thought, took shape
and form. If he could outpace the
runaway on the parallel line, stop the
decapod and dash across to the C. &
ff. R. track ahead of the Rosemary,
there was one chance In a million that
he might fling himself upon the car
in mid (light and alight with life
enough left to help Calvert with the
hand-brakes.
Now, in the most unhopeful struggle
It is often the thing least hoped for
that comes to pass. At Argentine
Win ton's speed was n mile a minute
over a track rorgher than a corduroy
wagon-roan; yet the decapod held the
rail nml was neck and neck with the
runaway.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1907
Three miles more ot tho surging,
racking, nerve-killing race and Win
ton hail his hand's-breadth of lead and
had picked his place for the million
chanced wrestle with death. It was at
the C. & G. R. station of Tierra
Blanca, just below a series of sharp
curves which he hoped might check a
little the arrowlike flight of the runa
way.
Twenty seconds later the telegraph
opera cor at the lonely little sta
tion of Tierra Blanca saw a heroic
bit of man-play. The upward-bound
Carbonate train was whistling In the
gorge below when out of the snow
wreaths shrouded the new line a big
engine shot down to stop with fire
grinding from the wheels, and a man
dropped from the high cab to dash
across to the station platform.
At the same instant a runaway pas
senger car thundered out of the can
yon above. The man crouched, flung
himself at it in passing, missed the
forward hand-rail, caught the rear,
was snatched from his feet and trailed
through the air like the thong of a
whiplash, yet made good his hold and
clambered on.
This was all the operator saw, but
when he had snapped his key and run
out, he heard the shrill squeal of tho
brakes on the car and knew that .John
Winton had not risked his lift for
nothing.
And on board the Rosemary? Win
ton, spent to the last breath, was lying
prone on the railed platform, where
he had fallen when the last twist had
been given to the shrieking brakes,
his head in Miss Carteret's lap.
"Run, Calvert! Run ahead and —
stop—the—up-train!" he gasped; then
the light went out of the gray eye 3
and Virginia wept unaffectedly and
fell to dabbling his forehead with
handfuls of snow.
"Help me get him into the divan.
Cousin Billy," said Virginia, when all
was over and the Rosemary was safe
ly coupled in ahead of the upcoming
I train to be slowly pushed back to Ar
j gentine.
But Winton opened his eyes and
struggled to his feet, unaided.
"Not yet," he said. "I've left my
automobile on the other side a£ the
creek; and, besides, I have a railroad
jto build. My respects to Mr. Darrab,
and you may tell him I'm not beaten
j yet." And he swung over the rail
| ing and dropped off to mount tha
I octopod and to race it back to the
j front.
Three days afterwards, to a scream
' ing of smelter whistles and other
j noisy demonstrations of mining-camp
j joy, the Utah Short Line laid the final
I rail of its new extension in the Car
| bonato yards.
The driving of the silver spike ae-
I complished. Winton slipped out of the
! congratulatory throng and made his
| way across the C. & G. R. tracks to a
I private car standing alone on its sid
j ing. Its railed platform, commanding
; a view of the civic celebration, had
its quota of onlookers —a fierce-eyed
j old man with huge white mustaches,
;an athletic young clergyman, two
| Bisques and a goddess.
"Climb up, Misteh Winton. climb up
| and join us," said the fierce-eyed one
i heartily. "Virginia, heah, thinks we
ought to call each otlieli out, but I tell
her —"
What the Rajah had told his niece
is of small account to us. But what
Winton whispered in her ear when he
had taken his place beside her is
more to the purpose of this history.
"I have built my railroad, as you
told me to, and now I have come for
me—"
"Hush!" she said, softly. "Can't
you wait?"
"No."
"Shameless one!" she murmured.
But when the Rajah proposed an
edjournment to the gathering-room of
the Par, and to luncheon therein, he
surprised them standing hand-in-liand
and laughed.
"Hah, you little rebel," he said.
"Do you think you dese've that block
iof stock I promised you when you
should marry? Anseh me, my deal?."
She blushed and shook her head,
but the brown eyes were dancing.
Tii? Rajah opened tho car door with
his courtliest bow.
"Nevertheless, you shall have it, my
donh Virginia, if only to remind an
old man of tho time when he was sim
ple enough to make a business run
| federate of a charming youui; woman,
j Straight on, Misteh Adam; after you,

ANCIENT TEMPLE OF AUGUSTUS
UNEARTHED AT ROME.
Rare Art Treasures of the Long Age
Brought to Light, Enriching the
Collections of That Period.
A year or so ago, excavations were
begun in Rome, somewhere about the
middle of the modern Corso Umberto,
the site of the ancient Campus Mar
tius, for the purpose of discovering
traces of the remains of the Ara Pacis
of Augustus, known to be existing;
attempts which have been crowned
with marked success. At the time of
writing, these excavations were still
in course of operation, and the press,
as well as the public, have shown as
1 r

Restoration of the Ara Pscis of
Augustus.
enthusiastic an interest in them as
they have in the recent discoveries on
the Roman Forum.
In the extensive plain of the Field
of Mars, over a large part of which
the Home of the Renaissance, as well
as of more modern times, has spread
itself, there was in the tenth century,
amongst the countless remains of
ancient greatness, a statue existing,
which pointed with one finger to the
ground. This gave rise to the suppo
sition that beneath it a treasure lay
■hidden, and one fine day they began
to dig. The explorers soon happened
upon some magnificent mosaics, rep
resenting the seasons of tho year, and
the allegorical figures of animals
standing for the signs of the Zodiac.
These proved eventually to be por
tions of the pediment of the famous
sun-dial of Augustus, but it. can easily
be imagined what astonishment, and
what attempts at explanation, these
strange and curious objects called
forth at the time. It has since been
ascertained that the figure with the
finger pointing earthwards represent
ed the setting sun, whilst on the op
posite side 1 there must have been an
other pointing skywards, representing
the rising sun; the sun when rising,
would shine on the finger of the lat
ter, whilst in setting it. would in like
manner gild the finger of the fcwiier
with its parting rays. But amid all
these interesting discoveries the
hoped-for treasure itself was not
forthcoming, and the common people
declared that the priests must have
secretly made away with it.
But if this spot conceals no shining
gold, the mere material treasure
sought for by the people of the year
1,000 A. D., it nevertheless encloses,
despite the centuries of ruin heaped
upon it, an ideal treasure of art and of
priceless memories.
The systematic excavations demand
ed by archaeologists and since under
taken by the minister of public in
struction have, as has been said, yield
ed the most satisfactory results. In
fact, beside an immense number of
fragments, and large blocks of marbles
adorned with reliefs, the foundation
walls of the monument have been
found, so that it is quite possible to
reconstruct the whole in imagination.
It apparently consisted of an en
closed wall of white marble of up
wards of five metres in height, form
ing a four-sided figure of 11 by 10%
metres square. In the inner space of
this enclosure, whose floor was paved
with white marble slabs, still in good
preservation, stood, close to the wall
opposite to the entrance, and raised
011 steps, the altar of the deity. It is
this beautiful piece of work, frag
ments of which have been known and
used for a lr.r.g time past in the study
of decorative art in the schools. A
Greek scroll separates the lower from
the upper half, which latter is of great
beauty and both as regards historical
and artistic interest is the gem of the
whole monument.. A procession un
folds itself of men, women, priests and
children, whose figures, somewhat less
than life size, appear in two rows, one
behind the other, those in the fore
ground in high relief, those behind
being only slightly indicated in quite
low relief. The whole represents a
procession moving forward to a sol
emn sacrifice. In the background, fol
lowing the lines of the procession are
to lie seen temples, the identifying of
which has given ri3e to much discus
sion. In the middle of the enclosure
a large door opened on the side of the
Via Flaminia, through which was an
uninterrupted view of the altar, and
behind it was another door looking on
to lhf> Campus Martins, used for
bringing l:i the beasts for sacrifice.
These sculptures undoubtedly repre
sent the first solemn sacrifice offered
in this place, and as Pro?. Peterson
justly observes, recall to the life the
original enclosure adorned with fresh
green wrei t.hs sucli as would b> placed
around the altar on the 'occasion of
the triumphal return of Augustus.

Hints for the Pipe Lover.
The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco
Journal gives some hints to those
who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks
he knows how to smoke a pipe, but tc
do It perfectly is not easy. "Time is a
keynote of successful pipe smoking,"
says the Journal, "and another is gen
tleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd
the pipe to the top of the bowl. Nevoi
get a pipe hot. Keep cool, and keep
your pipe cool. You can relight a pipe
and if you are an old smoker you will
be all the better for it. When you
have finished do not refill a heated
pipe."
HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes of
Various Formations.
At a recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors Dr. Walclier,
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex
plain the formation of the shape of
the head of infants. He maintained
that tho head of a child could be
molded artificially. He found by ex
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head is developed. Bui if the medium
shaped head of a child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an e'gg, for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side a long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre
sented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after IS
months it Is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. Br. Walcher
did rot deny that the sha;:e of uhc
hcad was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by tho
way the child rested. •
THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up Immense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.
The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The largo
influx of settlors pud the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith
standing the increased railway facil
ities that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a se
rious one.
It will, therefore, be good news to
interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by C.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail
way will do its share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai
rie schooner, a distance of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
is enthusiastic about the country. _
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even if Mr. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude of a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will bo
In a position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop of 1007, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop of 190 Gin Western
Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels,
and, with the increased acreage which
Is confidently expected to be put un
der crop next year, it is safely calcu
lated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr. Hays will bring en
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where.
NOT DOOMED TO SECLUSION.
Austrian J'uns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.
The "first lady" in the Austro-Hun
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresiau Convent of the Noble In
dies in Prague, a position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the
present abbess, who is a niece of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live a very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play a leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the ab
bey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
is paid SSOO a year, while the abbess
has a salary of SIO,OOO. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with a ribbon of
light blue.
SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors ana Remedies Fruitless—Suf
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.
"When I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those liinbs became so sore that
I could scarcely walk. When I had
been suffering for about a month
the sorrs began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward I was troubled by such severe
itching that, until I became accus
tomed to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom
pany them. After I suffered about
ten years 1 made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. 1 then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad
dition I used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, 's
Salve, Ointment, and in fact I
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used 's ,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used aimost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes I was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf
fering and an expenditure of at least
SSO or in vainly endeavoring to
tiud a cure. I sliail bo glad to wrlto
