good old major thoughtfully puffing
his cigar in the club smoking-room.
With a strike due to be pulled off in
a little more than three hours there
were about a million thingy that would
have to be jerked around into shape
and propped up so that they could
stand by themselves while the Shore
Line was taking a vacation. And
there was only a little handful of us
in the headquarters to do the Jerking
and propping.
By eleven o’clock the tangle was
getting itself pretty well straightened
out. Some of the trains had already
been abandoned, and the others/ were
moving along to the agreed-upon des-
tinations. Kirgan had taken hold in
the Portal City yard, and by putting
on extra crews was getting the needful
shifting and car sorting into shape,
and the Portal City employees, acting
upon their own initiative, were picket-
ing the yard and company buildings to
protect them from looters or fire-set-
ter®. Mr. Van Britt’s special, so the
wires told us, was at Lesterburg. and
it was likely to, stay there; and Mr.
Van Britt, himself, couldn't be reached.

was putting up the money seemed to
have plenty of it. He was off ering five !
