A MILUON-DOLLAR HAUL
Copyright, 1901, by Francis Lynde.
Raglan was having a hard time of it,
and when the fact occurred to him, as
it did many times a day, he grew senti
mental and self-pitiful. He had counted
upon all sorts of opportunities evolving
themselves out of the thousand-mile trip
in President Carothers' private car par
ty, and thus far they had refused to
evolve. And when the "Esmeralda” took
the siding at Fort Larimore to be out of
the way of a mysterious special speeding
eastward, nine of the ten hundred miles
had been measured off, and he could count
his chances for free speech with Helen
Langham on the Angers of a badly mu
tilated hand.
Now, though he did not ]ook it in the
least, Raglan was a fighter by nature,
and the irksome thing about the dead
lock of opportunities was that there was
nothing to fight. True, he was only the
company's consulting engineer, and his
standing in the private-car party was
technical rather than social; but in his
most unreasonable mood 'he could not say
that the technicalities made any differ
ence. He had properly "met" Miss Lang
ham and her aunt, and the two Misses
Carothers at Old Orchard the summer
before! and for aught he could see he was
es acceptable in rough tweeds in Wy
oming as he had been in outing Aannels
or a dress coat at the summer resort.

None the less, the intangible obstacle*
had multiplied themselves. Raglan had
his duties as the president's eye, ear
and hand on the tour of Inspection, and
shen he was free of these, Mrs. Grandi
son always managed to maJte him re
t[ nsible for Letltla or Esther Carothers,
® r both, thus giving Lieut. Bisby a clear
field with Miss Langham.
After all, It was the lieutenant who

“And not mine, you would say."
"I didn't say so, but I will, if you want
me to.”
"Say it; you may as well say it as think
it.”
"But you did resign, didn't you?”
"Assuredly; and of course I did it be

safest thing to do.”
She winced a little at that, and the
mocking smile died out of the s'ate-blue
eyes.
“You musn't try to make me believe
that. You didn't really know about the
Apaches when you—when you resigned,
did you?”
Raglan did not deny 11. Not to garble
a plain truth, he was too rageful to see
straight or to speak coherently. But
Miss Langham had her reward. Raglan
was not normally a handsome man, even
to those who knew him best and loved
him most. To reach down for a simile,
his peaceful sub-type was the mastiff of
the big St. Bernard; leniently amiable,
as big men—and dogs—are wont to be;
rugged, square-jawed, strong to endure.
But hot wrath made him leonine, and an
angry lion is not an unhandsome spec
tacle.
“How dan you doubt it!” he burst out,
when the words were to be had. “You
are like all the rest of them in this pres
ent-day renaissance of the swashbuckler
| daft over the romantic hero In slashed
doublets and top boots, with a sword and
a cheerful disregard for human life.”
She laughed lightly, and the laugh was
a lash to make him roar again.
"Isn't It so?” he demanded.
"Perhaps. All the world loves a brave
man.”
"And the type of the brave man Is the
fellow with the trusty sword, as a mat
ter of course. And since the latter-day
soldier Is the nearest approach to the
‘Sicur de Marsacs' and the 'Captain
Percy*’ "
“Hush!” she commanded; and he became
dumb at the word and turned away from
her. But she did not leave him. On the
contrary, Bhe stood before him at the
hand-rail, looking backward over the level
expanse of the great brown plain shim
mering under the glare of the noonday
sun.
Far to the westward, where the track
and the long line of sentryllke telegraph
poles led the eye Into the Immensity of
the perspective, a faint blur of black
smoke was rising above the shimmering
heat haze.
“Is that a train coming?" she asked.
"Yes; It Is the special for which we are
waiting.”
“Oh; the 'mysterious special,’ Uncle
Parkman called It. Why Is M myster
ious?”
Raglan was cool enough by this time
to be decently ashamed of himself, and
he explained the mystery at some length.
"It Is a treasure train, carrying a mil
lion dollars In gold coin—a payment of
some sort from the Japanese government
to ours, I believe. Naturally, there is a
certain element of risk; enough to make
the railways hurry the train across the
continent with as little publicity as may
be."
"Risk?" ahe said.
"Yes, A mllllon-dollar haul would be
a considerable temptation for train wreck
ers.”
"Oh!” she shuddered. And then: “But
I suppose they take every precaution,
don't they?”
"Extraordinary precaution In a case of
this kind. The car l a 'blind express'—
with no end doors or platforms, you know
—and It Is armor-plated and plercted with
loopholes, so that the guard Inside can
cover the men on the engine.”
They stood watching the growing smoke
cloud on the horizon, and the little knot
of station loungers on the platform oppo
site did the same. II was In this Interval,
when all eyes wire turned westward, that
a number of curious things went forward
unnoted by ony of the onlookers.
The first of these concerned the big
eight-wheeler standing on the side-track
In readiness to relieve the locomotive of
the incoming train. The men of 1U crew,
the engineer, firemen and coal passer,
were In their places In the cab, and no
one saw fourth man In grimy over
clo'.liee crawl under the big engine and
do som thing to Its machinery with a
short bar forked at tho end.
A moment later this man emerged, his

handle. He crossed the tracks to the
president's car, which was standing with
its engine coupled on. ready to follow
the treasure train eastward, paused until
the dip of the upcoming special Ailed all
cars, and then crept under the Esmeralda
to strike a mighty blow at some part
of the air-brake machinery. Following
instantly a roar of escaping air, which
was drowned by the noise of the train,
and the man was out again and ready to
dart under the armored express car when
it came to a stand at the station plat
form.
This time Raglan saw him; saw him
dive under the car and hammer Aercely
at the brake machinery. But at the criti
cal moment his attention was distracted
by his companion. The rear platform
of the “Esmeralda” extended the full
width of the car, and Miss Langham was
standing at the guard railing on the side
nearest the station. When she cried out
and beckoned him she was leaning over
and looking forward.
"Come here, quick! O, merciful heav
ens, they are killing him!”
Raglan got but a Aeeting glimpse over
her shoulder, but what he saw made him
climb the railing to drop quickly to the
ground and run to the rescue. A dozen
armed men had surrounded the “Esmer
alda's” engine; some of them were
swarming aboard; others had overpowered
the engineer and fireman, dragging them
from the cab and beating them with
clenched fists and clubbed guns.
The moment was propitious for the at
tack. The incoming locomotive of the
treasure car had been detached and was al
ready on Its way to the coal chute. Its
fellow on the opposite siding was heav-
lng and buckling under the engineer’s
vain efforts to start It. And at the sta
tion the armored express oar drew all
eyes while Its windowless bulk screened
the mellay at the "Esmeralda's" engine.
The mellay was over before Haglan
could run the neeessary car length. The
engineer and fireman, bleeding and Insen
sible, were flung aside; two of the armed
men sprang to the front platform of the
president’s car, while the others took
their places on the locomotive, and the
next Instant the Esmeralda lunged for
ward as from the Impact of a mighty pro
jectile.
If Angus Haglan had been the craven
that Lieut. Bisby’s Innuendo prefigured
him, he would have staid where he was,
on the safe and stable earth. But his one
thought was for the woman he loved,
speeding to he knew not what fate at the
tail of the storming locomotive. Hence,
when the rear platform of the Esmeralda
whisked past, he laid hold of the high
guard rati and made shift to climb aboard.
Miss Langham was dinging to the rail
ing. and the slate blue eyes were full of
terror; but she gave a glad little cry when
he swung up beside her. The car was
flying around the curve In the siding, ca
reening like a ship in a gale, and Raglan
put one arm around Ihe terrified girl and
reached for the air-brake cord. Where
upon Miss Langdon let go of the railing
and clung to the man.
"What Is It?" she gasped; but Raglan
was giving his undivided attention to the
brake cord—to no purpose, since the man
with the hammer hud done his work ef
fectually.
When he desisted there was no time for

explanations. In a twinkling the "Es
meralda,” unimpeded by the tugging at
the brake cord, was whipped out over the
switch to the main track; In another it
was sent spinning back to the waiting
treasure car. Raglan saw what was com
ing, gathered the girl in his arms and
braced himself. He was none too prompt.
With a orash which was little short of a
collision the "Esmeralda” was hurled
against the heavy express car; the auto
matic couplers interlocked with a snap;
and in the very rebound of the collision
the two cars, drawn by the captured loco
motive, shot away from the station.
Then rail lengths of the meteor fiight
made the swaying, lurching platform of
the “Esroei aid-” untenable, and Raglan
retreated with Is charge to the central
compartment. Here they found a return
to primordial chaos.
The shock of the collision had over
turned everything movable. The three
women were crouching terror-stricken In
a corner; the lieutenant and the two negro
servants were struggling to free them
selves from the wreckage of upset furnt
lure at the rear end of the compartment;
and only the white-haired president was
afoot and alert.
"What has happened, Raglan?” he de
manded. shouting to make himself heard
above the rattling clamor of the meteor
fiight.
Raglan’s answer was shorn of euphe
mism. “The worst that could happen.
Train robbers have captured our engtne,
and they are running away with the 'Ew
meralda' and the specie car.”
"Wha-what's that!” quavered the lieu
tenant, extricating himself In time to hear
the latter half of the astounding an
nouncement.
Raglan said it again, and Helen Lang
ham turned away that she might not eee
the unmistakable fear signals flying in
the eyes of the young officer—see them
and be moved to contempt of the bitter
est.
But If Blaby quailed, the president did
not. He was no more than a peaceful in
dustry colonel, this white-haired old man,
but thera was blood of proof In his
veins.
"We must stop them." he said calmly.
"They have sandwiched us in between
because they knew that otherwise the
specie guard could pick them off through
the loopholes in the end of the armored
money car. How many of them are
there?” ,
“A dozen, I should say."
“All on the engine.”
"All but the two who are standing
guard on the front platform of the 'Es
meralda.' ”
"You've tried the airbrakes?"
“Yes. They were disabled under both
cars before the attack was made."
The president glanced at his watch and
then up at the speed-recorder. The hand
on the dial already pointed to 60 miles an
hour, and the heavy private car was
creaking and plunging like an overladen
lumber schooner In a tempest. "We must
think quickly. There are fifteen well
armed men in the money car. Is there
any way they can get to us?"
Raglan shook his head. "Not unless
we can stop. If they try to climb along
on the foot-rail from the side doors, they
will be picked off one at a time."
“Exactly. Have you any Idea what
these miscreants Will try to do?"
Raglan tried to make the young
woman at his side go to the three terri
fied ones in the corner, but she would
not. "No,” she said, "I want to hear
the worst,” and he let her hear It.
“I have an Idea, though it's only a
guess. They mean to wreck both cars,
killing as many of us as possible."
"Can it be done without involving the
engine?”
"Yes. There is a high embankment at
Buckhom Gulch, with a mile-long grade
leading down to it. They will uncouple
in mid flight at the top of the grade, run
down ahead of us, obstruct the track, and
go on out of the way.”
"And the remedy?”
“Is to keep them from uncoupling. They
can’t go on indefinitely; and If they stop,
the specie-guard will be upon them."
The brave old men stripped off hla
coat.
"There are three of us,” he said. "They
mustn't be allowed to uncouple the en
gine while any of us are alive.”
Raglan right and a chair and put Mlsa
Langham into It. Then he stripped to his
.shirt sleeves and sjioke to the lieutenant.
"It la you and I for It, Bisby, and
there is no time to lose. Hear that? They
are hammering at the coupling-pin now.
Give me your sword or the pistol, which
ever you please, and let ua be at Jt."
But the lieutenant hung back.
"Don't you—don't you think we'd better
try to make terms with them?"
"Terms!" roared the ex-captain of post
garrisons. “What Is your notion of a
train wrecker? Give me one of those tools
and come on.”
The lieutenant handed over the sword,
and Raglan flung away the scabbard,
tried the steel right and left In his hand
and darted Into the passage leading to
the front platform. He went alone. The
lieutenant was still standing irresolute,
fumbling nervously in his pot kets for the
revolver cartridges which were not there.
Two rifle shots and then a scattering
fusllade crashed out above the train clam
or, and Heleu Raglan sprang up with the
slate-blue eyes ablaze.
"They are killing him!” she said. "Will
you never go?"
But the lieutenant only fumbled the
more desperately. "I—l haven't any
cartridges,” he protested; but the scorn
In her eyes sent him forward with the
empty weapon.
His half-hearted sally was too late. Be
fore he could reach the vestibule Raglan
was back with a bullet score across his
temple, and the brightness gone from the
polished sword. Esther Carothers shriek
ed and fainted, but Helen ran quickly to
him.
"Oh," she cried. "I said they would kill
you. and they have."
"No, It's only a scratch.” She remem
bered afterward that In all the fierce tur
moil of It he had this first word for her.
"Mr. Carothers, get the women together
here In this corner, where they will be
out of range from the vestibule—that's
right. The pin It jammed, and they
know they have us to reckon with before
they can break the coupling. They’ll
charge us In a minute and we must de
fend the passage at all hazard*. What's
that?"—the question to Bisby, who was
again suggesting a treaty.
Miss Langham was looking on —she was
the only an* of ths huddling quartette of
ytemea who dared ta look on-and she
saw Raglan's Up curl and his brown eyes
flash.
"Compromise with them?—there would
be more hope of compromising with fiends
from the pit. And, besides. I have killed
three of them. Give me that pistol and
stand aside. If you are afraid."
But the president came between, and
the lieutenant showed the useless weapon
to him. "It's empty,” he said, "I—l for
got to bring any ammunition."
Raglan’s Up curled again; but when
the white-haired one would have kept
the passage with him, with a broken ta
ble leg for a weapon, he put him gently
aside;
"No; this is work for a younger man,
And I must have room to play in." He
bared his sword arm to the elbow and
cleared a space at the entrance to the
narrow side vestibule leading forward.
“Do you stand just here, behind me,
where you can see that mirror at the
farther end of the compartment, and give
me the word when they begin to come."
The construction of the private car fav
ored the defense. The forward vestibule
was a narrow passage, one-man wide,
leading from the front platform around
the two drawing rooms to the central
compartment. There were two right-an
gled turns In It, and it was further ob
structed by a glass-paneled swing door.
Raglan stood to the right of the pas
sage, with the women In the comer be
hind him. The lieutenant looked as if
he would give his shoulder straps to be
cut of it, but for very shame's sake he
clubbed the empty pistol and braced
himself. There was a groat square mir
ror filling the panel at the opposite end
of the compartment, and In this the
sallsTort vestibule was in view up to its
first right-angled turn around the draw
ing rooms.
The little interval of waiting was
more trying than the fiercest battle.
Ragland glanced out at the flying land
marks. Five minutes more of the fu
rious speeding and the wreckers must
either do or die, since the train was rap
idly nearing the hill-top crisis. There
was no more hammering at the Jammed
coupling pin in front, but from the rear
came a succession of jarring blows, tell
ing of the efforts of the armed treasure
guard to break out of the express car.
As before, Helen Langham was the
only one of the trembling quartette who
dared to look on, and she could not help
contrasting the two young men, compar
ing them and thinking that they might
well change places in a militant world.
The blood trickled from the bullet score
in Ragland's temple, blinding him as It
ran Into his eye; and when she saw this
Helen sprang up, snatched the handker
chief from the pocket of the cast-off coat,
and bound It quickly and deftly about
the wound. At the knotting of the hand
kerchief he caught her hand and pressed
It to his lips.
It was at the kissing Instant that the
president gave the word.
"On guard! Here they- come!"
The speed was slackening, and in a
swift glance aside at the mirror Raglan
saw the narrow passage filling with men
at Its farther end. Sweeping the way
before them with a scattering volley, they
crashed through the light swing door, and
the battle was on.
For the one woman who was still look
ing on, the scene was not less inspiring
than It was terrifying. As In a series of
flash-light pictures, she saw Ragland spit
the leader In mid carrer, smite down the
second with a blow from the pommel of
the sword, and fling himself upon the
others with a roar like that of an angry
lion. Berserk-mad he was, indeed, and
had need to be, since the lieutenant had
vanished after flinging the empty pistol
Into the thick of the fray, and the white
haired president, with his clubbed table
leg, was covering the women.
In and out the bright steel flashed, and
the man who wielded It seemed Immortal.
Ever and anon a platol cracked, or a
clubbed gun was swung above him, or
fierce hands clutched at him; but In that
cramped shambles the man who had once
been the best swordsman at West Point
still lived, and lived to slay.
Helen shuddered and shut her eyes, and
then looked again as one fascinated. Nev
er before had she realized what a terrible
weapon the sword is in the hands of a
man who knows how to use It. Back and
forth and from side to side he darted,
catlike for all his fourteen stone, and the
sword bit deep and true at every swift
insprlnglng till the narrow vestibule was
choked with the bodies of the slain.
None the less, the end disastrous came,
as It must In any battle against odds so
overwhelming. In the thick of the melee
one of the desperadoes, slipping under the
swordsman's arm, gained a pace or two
to the rear and raised his rifle. At the
trigger-pulling crisis the train stopped
with a shock; the robber’s rifle bellowed;
and the compartment filled suddenly with
a rush of the armed treasure-guard from
the rear.
Helen Langham saw It all as one of
the flashlight pictures; saw the spurt of
red flame from the rifle's mouth, and
saw her hero fall, first to his knees, and
then upon his face. And after that she
saw nothing but the bronzed face in her
lap—his face with tha brown eyes closed
and the big Jaw set as death sets It.
When Angus Raglan came back to a
conscious seeing of things visible he had
a confused notion that he was dead and
on the way to burial. But his surround
ings presently resolved themselves Into
Ihe Interior of the president's stateroom
In the "Esmeralda," and It was the slow
speeding of the car that had answered to
the rumbling of hearse wheels. Someone
etlrrred at the bedside, and a tremulous
voice said: “Don't speak If It hurts you,
but are you In much pain?"
Raglan's answer was no answer.
"There Is a pin sticking me In my
shoulder, but if you will hold my hand
Just a little tighter I thfhk I can man
age to forget It,” he Bald. and then:
"What happened?”
"You were shot Just as the train stop
ped and the guard rushed In. We ran
back to Fort Larimore, and the post sur
geon (Ressed your wounds."
“And the wreckers?"
"Only two of them escaped alive—the
two on the engine.” He felt her shud
der through tha medium of tha elapsed
hands, but It was only of recollection.
"Where are we now?" he asked.
"On the way to Denver, trying to get
you home to Uncle Parkman's, where
we can nurse you alive again. Do you
think you can stand It?”
"It will depend upon you,” he declared,
shamelessly. "As long as you sit there
and hold my hand, I can stand anything.
Hut you mustn't let It go for a min
ute.”
The rumbling silence of the slow-speed
ing train filled the next five minutes, and
then she broke It to say, "O. It was fine.”
He smiled feebly. "Quite like 'De Mar
sac’ or 'Capt. Percy,' wasn't It? But
