Synopsis
Toot! "What's the mischief?" cried the fireman. He sprung to his box and looked ahead, and in the center of the track, where the train was rounding a point of rocks, saw a red flag. "That fool of a section boss has got another rail up, on our time, I suppose, as he did once before," growled the engineer, having shut off steam and applied the air brakes. Toot! Another short, sharp blast of the whistle, and the engineer reversed his engine, while the fireman leaped down and prepared to jump. Both had beheld something well calculated to chill their blood, the moment the engine had rounded the bend far enough to give them a view of the straight stretch ahead! About half way down to a point where the track again curved, a number of boulders had been placed between the rails, and on both sides of the track stood masked men with rifles in their hands. That they meant business was not to be questioned.
