What
’
s
the
matter
,
Dave
?
"
Mitchum
handed
him
the
order
—
and
saw
by
the
look
on
the
trainmaster
’
s
face
that
the
trap
was
as
bad
as
he
had
suspected
.
He
called
the
Region
Headquarters
of
Taggart
Transcontinental
at
Omaha
,
Nebraska
,
and
begged
to
speak
to
the
general
manager
of
the
region
.
There
was
a
brief
silence
on
the
wire
,
then
the
voice
of
the
Omaha
operator
told
him
that
the
general
manager
had
resigned
and
vanished
three
days
ago
—
"
over
a
little
trouble
with
Mr
.
Locey
,
"
the
voice
added
.
He
asked
to
speak
to
the
assistant
general
manager
in
charge
of
his
particular
district
;
but
the
assistant
was
out
of
town
for
the
week
end
and
could
not
be
reached
.
"
Get
me
somebody
else
!
"
Mitchum
screamed
.
"
Anybody
,
of
any
district
!
For
Christ
’
s
sake
,
get
me
somebody
who
’
ll
tell
me
what
to
do
!
"
The
man
who
came
on
the
wire
was
the
assistant
general
manager
of
the
Iowa
-
Minnesota
District
.
"
What
?
"
he
interrupted
at
Mitchum
’
s
first
words
.
"
At
Winston
,
Colorado
?
Why
in
hell
are
you
calling
me
?
.
.
.
No
,
don
’
t
tell
me
what
happened
,
I
don
’
t
want
to
know
it
!
.
.
.
No
,
I
said
!
No
!
You
’
re
not
going
to
frame
me
into
having
to
explain
afterwards
why
I
did
or
didn
’
t
do
anything
about
whatever
it
is
.
It
’
s
not
my
problem
!
.
.
.
Speak
to
some
region
executive
,
don
’
t
pick
on
me
,
what
do
I
have
to
do
with
Colorado
?
.
.
.
Oh
hell
,
I
don
’
t
know
,
get
the
chief
engineer
,
speak
to
him
!
"
The
chief
engineer
of
the
Central
Region
answered
impatiently
,
"
Yes
?
What
?
What
is
it
?
"
—
and
Mitchum
rushed
desperately
to
explain
.
When
the
chief
engineer
heard
that
there
was
no
Diesel
,
he
snapped
,
"
Then
hold
the
train
,
of
course
!
"
When
he
heard
about
Mr
.
Chalmers
,
he
said
,
his
voice
suddenly
subdued
,
"
Hm
.
.
.
Kip
Chalmers
?
Of
Washington
?
.
.
.
Well
,
I
don
’
t
know
.
That
would
be
a
matter
for
Mr
.
Locey
to
decide
.
"
When
Mitchum
said
,
"
Mr
.
Locey
ordered
me
to
arrange
it
,
but
—
"
the
chief
engineer
snapped
in
great
relief
,
"
Then
do
exactly
as
Mr
.
Locey
says
!
"
and
hung
up
.
Dave
Mitchum
replaced
the
telephone
receiver
cautiously
.
He
did
not
scream
any
longer
.
Instead
,
he
-
tiptoed
to
a
chair
,
almost
as
if
he
were
sneaking
.
He
sat
looking
at
Mr
.
Locey
’
s
order
for
a
long
time
.
