"Then I'll tell you a fairy tale," said the trainmaster, lowering his voice. "I gave you notice that Mr. Lidgerwood would do something different: he did it, bright and early this morning; went to Jake Schleisinger, who had to try twice before he could remember that he was a justice of the peace, and swore out a warrant for Rufford's arrest, on a charge of assault with intent to kill."
When it came to the filling in of Hallock's name, Schleisinger stopped, open-mouthed. "Donnerwetter!" he gasped, "you don'd mean dot, Mr. Litchervood; you don'd neffer mean dot?" "I am sorry to say that I do; sorrier than you or any one else can possibly be." "Bud bud " "I know what you would say," interrupted Lidgerwood hastily.
He was in Red Butte, and he had an engine bring him down to Silver Switch, where he caught us just as we were pulling out." Engineer John Judson, disappearing at the moment when the superintendent had sent him back to bully Schleisinger into appointing him constable, from the ken of those who were most anxious to hear from him, was late in reporting.
"Go back to Schleisinger and have him swear you in as a deputy constable," he directed tersely. "When you are sworn in, come down here and serve this," and he gave Judson the warrant for Hallock's arrest. The engineer glanced at the name in the body of the warrant and nodded. "So you've made up your mind?" he said.
"Don'd tell me you vas come aboud some more of dose chustice businesses. Me, I make oud no more of dem warrants, nichts. Dot teufel Rufford iss come back again, alretty, and " Lidgerwood broke the refusal in the midst. "You are an officer of the law, Schleisinger more is the pity, both for you and the law and you must do your duty. I have come to swear out another warrant.
"You are afraid of Hallock's friends as you were afraid of Rufford and his friends. But you must do your sworn duty." "Nein, nein, dot ain'd it," was the earnest denial. "Bud bud nobody vould serve a warrant on Mr. Hallock, Mr. Litchervood! "I'll find some one to serve it," said the complainant curtly, and Schleisinger made no further objections.
"When he'd got the warrant, Schleisinger protesting all the while that Bart'd kill him for issuing it, Mr. Lidgerwood took it to Hepburn and told him to serve it. Jack backed down so fast that he fell over his feet. Said to ask him anything else under God's heavens and he'd do it anything but that." "Huh!" said Judson.
