"All them earl! surveys was hltchW-kick. The en- gineerin’ gang would come along and 13y out the lines, and leave a chainman to iinish up. Well, the sun would be hot. and the chain- man would be law. and he'd have a quart with him, maybe. B0 hed find a. ee. and he'd lay down in the shade. You can figger how lt would go from there. Chelnmﬂ-H takes a look, takes a drink. takes a nap, wakes up end stretches. And there's your survey."

"Just the point. Nobody does. Survey might be a. couple rnllee or two out o! plumb."

"Dose Judge Purvia make his own surveys?"

"What kind, of e bust?‘ "Up in the mountains. Bender- ough Pass." "That's twenty miles. How would we get there?" n, “Train of course." She unfolded the plot which some of the Santa Fe hands lied devised. It was to be s "caboose party"; up trip on the midnight freight a local; back on the westbound freight due at 2.46 6111.; slipper in the caboose with the crew as hosts. Terry Kel- sey was in charge; Belle Torrance was going with him: she Ruby, had Hugo Wertheinter of the Emporium as partner; Birdie Sweyn was pair- ed ufi _\\'ith Blggity Smith, a six- foot-tvro hugger, and there might be a. couple more.
