"I thought you said you had seen Jones," the General Manager began. Now the President, who was never known to be really angry, wheeled on his revolving chair. "I have seen Jones." "Well, O'Marity says Jones has not been 'seen. His friend, who comes down from Atchison every Sunday night on O'Marity's hand-car, has been good enough to tell O'Marity just what has been going on in the House.
The train only stopped thirteen times in the twenty miles. Five times to clear the brushwood from the telegraph lines, once running back a mile to pick up a passenger, and so on, to the great indignation of many of the passengers aboard, who would occasionally cry out, "Hello! if this is the 'clearing-up' train, we had better send for a hand-car!"
Springing up she would have taken Bonny Angel from Timothy's arms into her own had he not rudely pushed her down again, commanding sternly: "Try that no more, colleen, lest ye'd be after murderin' the pair of us! Sit flat, sit flat, girl, an' cut no monkey-shines with nobody, a-ridin' on a hand-car." Glory had not thought of danger, though her new friend had not over-rated it.
Then an explanation of the man's escape was supplied, for the hand-car, which had stood there an hour ago, had gone. A few strokes of the crank would start it, after which it would run down the incline. "I guess that's how he went," said Payne. Dick nodded. The car would travel smoothly if its speed was controlled, but it would make some noise and he could not remember having heard anything.
It was far down the track but they could hear its terrible rumble as it rushed over a trestle, and the singing of the wires overhead. Keith was straining every muscle now, but it was like running in a nightmare. His arms moved up and down at a furious speed, but it seemed to him that the hand-car was glued to one spot.
“But this is merely pastime,” he said, touching the paper, yet leaving it undisturbed beneath the fair weight that was pressing it down. “My work is finished: you must have met Henry with the letters.” “No, I suppose he went through the woods; we came on the hand-car. Oh, dear!
"I don't know. If it hasn't, we're done." The hand-car was coasting easily down the grade; it rounded a sharp bend. "Jump!" yelled the engineer. His warning came too late. The car reached the spot where Andrews' men had torn up the rail; its wheels left the track and it spun about, scattering the men over the ground. "Anybody hurt?" demanded Fuller, scrambling to his feet. "No," they answered.
"Try and persuade him to loan us the gang's hand-car to go down the line. Lenora and I will come on in the automobile." "Take you longer," Lenora remarked, as she moved off to put on her jacket. "The cars do it in half an hour." "Can't help that," Quest replied. "Mrs. Rheinholdt's coming here to identify her jewels at twelve o'clock, and I can't run any risk of there being no train back.
In his retreat the enemy had not disturbed the railway track at all, and as we had captured a hand-car at Cowan, I thought I would have it brought up to the station near the University to carry me down the mountain to my camp, and, desiring company, I persuasively invited Colonel Frank T. Sherman to ride with me.
"Do you moind, Tim," she said, "when Keely O'Burke trated his new wife to a ride on a hand-car?
