Chapter I

T he sun was lifting a pink eyelid from an eyeball of red.

The cypress dipped its gray hoof in the orange-colored swamp.

The boy stood, lonely as a catamount, amid a ghostly dance of fluttering air-plants flimsily draping the trees around him — so that they loomed, forbidding, phantom-like, in the early light.

“My wor-rd 1 but this is a queer 'hangout*,” he murmured wildly, glancing from the bright yellow ochre of the swamp at his feet — sunshot here and there until it bled — up to the gray curtain of Spanish moss that wrapped the shivering cypress.

From head to cloven hoof, too, each brother cypress-tree was wrapped in the same pale parasite until the little wood became a grove of ghosts whose novelty might well set a castaway’s wits to wool-gathering — so that the wool stopped his ears and he could scarcely hear his own awed whisper.

“A — a mighty queer — ‘hangout’ !” he repeated breathlessly. “Gee! I har-rdly dare pinch myself. Am I — am I, really, Neff Hare, ‘Cotton-top,’ as Dyke — ‘Unc” — calls me, dropped — dropped here at daybreak, left behind by a train when it stopped for orders, because I raced down the old embankment there, to stretch my legs, cramped from sitting up all night in a day-coach — and to get a look at a strange bird, with a face and legs as orange as the swamp ?”

The waifs eyes turned reproachfully now towards the brown ridge of the railroad embankment, looming not an eighth of a mile distant.

“Left behind!” he moaned inwardly. “Left behind with Dyke, my only pal, wagging a finger at me from the train-steps, telling me — telling me to stay up — not to do anything that he would n’t do ! Wow-ow !”

A yellow grin — reflection of the saffron swamp — twisted the waif s lips sarcastically now.

“Well-11! there's one thing he won't do-o, unless I miss my guess," he confided to a gray beard of the Spanish moss which swept his face. “He won't put himself out to pick me up again — make any arrangements for me to follow him — although he did pay for my ticket to some place down south in Florida, where he said the hunting was good — sport dandy 1 Something to do with feathers — some sort o' daring ‘ plumer's ' game, I

guess 1

The boy paused, paused in his own halfmuttered reflection, to watch a heron casting a reflection upon the glossy surface of the swamp.

In the silence a Florida yellow-throat and a nearby cardinal bird began singing together, a duet which, momentarily, streaked his face with radiance. Then thought reverted to his own plight.

“But I knew — I knew from the moment that Dyke — Dyke with whom I ran away from that Dutchy farmer a year ago — got friendly with another man on the train, queer black-haired guy, with a jaw that stuck out, and they were whispering together, as pals, half the night, that — that he wanted to get rid of me/e The waif was whispering on his own behalf now to the gray beards above him. — I pretended to be asleep, but I heard him ‘chinning ^ with this new ‘ cahoot ’ about a place, a channel — water, I guess — that was a fly-way for rare birds an* about — gee ! yes, then a re-al ‘ screamer,' some o' which he had got off before to me, about, maybe^ plucking some r-rich quills f om a wild-goose chase down there — about a story that might be strange — stranger than ‘The Wild Eye Of Grit' ! . . . Dyke was always a movie fan."

The boy, Neff, was a movie fiend too; the contrast between the ragged gray curtain of Spanish moss before him, and the brightly painted screen of a Moving Picture Palace was so blighting that for a moment he had hard work to stay up.

“ Dyke was grinnin' as if he 'd grin the paint off the seat when he got off that ‘screamer,'" he told himself presently. “I had my head down, my arm 'cross my face.

but I was watching him — watching him out of the corner of my eye. Yes! an' the other guy, too, the queer ‘ jimberjawed' fellow; and I saw him look at me an' say, ‘Why — why bring the kid into it, at all?’ And then — and then something about a ‘grab game' an' settling the old 'gator with a blue pill 1 Wow! I wonder what they were talking about ? But — but, after that" — forlornly — “Dyke looked as if he 'd crawl through a crack to get rid of me. He might n't have tried it here, only — only that I queered myself!"

There was a shiver — a sob — in the murmur now. Not all the whistling sweetness of the cardinal's song could drown it — although it rainbowed the desolation.

“ But if only I 'd been dropped where a fellow would have a show ; a — a chance to pick himself up again," gasped Neff suddenly — passionately — aloud. “ Gee ! talk of a hundred miles from nowhere. I 've sure landed r-right on the spot," with a freakish grin. “Nothing in sight but one darky's shanty, a few wild pigs — and turkey buzzards that would be glad of a chance to gobble me!"

From that dark and sinister buzzard-flock roosting, vulture-like, upon a neighboring sapling, the waifs eye presently turned to his own reflection in the southern swamp.

“Wow! I do look tempting,'' he told himself, “for all the world like one of those blowzy labels on a California fruit-can," pufling out his cheeks the better to admire them in the high glaze of the vivid mud, of the same tint and consistency that a painter might have used if he had mixed yellow ochre and madder color together, to paint him upon the morning's canvas — a lonely waif.

Yet — yet not quite so much alone as he thought 1

He jumped two feet as, from somewhere, a loud-mouthed bawl darkly streaked the silence about him.

“Man!" it gobbled angrily. “Man! ef-f I cud on’y kotch de guy w'at — w'at set dat he-goat a-shambling, I suah hit him so har-rd I jar-r his awncestor' — golly, yes!"

“Wow! You can't jar mine. I haven’t any to jar. No an-ces-tors that ever I heard of!" Neff* shrank, chuckling, behind a tree.

“I — I hit him so-o hard dat, ef he no fall down, he — suah — do some funny thng, standing up !'*

“Ha ! I *m doing that now — listening to you. Wow! but this is ‘keen.^’’

The boy — the waif — had a distracting vision now of a fist, black as ebony, shaken in the face of the veiled cypress-lady behind whom he hid, of wild eyes rolling — rolling — with enough white to paint a poster, it seemed — of the wave of a patchwork shirt.

Forgotten on the instant were hunger and desertion ! Nothing — nothing lived for that waif but the laugh in the situation — leaving him as it found him, elfishly impenitent over the fact that it was he who, in the first frenzy of fear and freedom following upon the discovery that he had been left behind, had worked some of it off upon the drowsy billygoat 1

With the result that the latter, declaring for independence too, had snapped its tether, chased him up a tree and was now roaming the marsh, with the deer and the razor-back hogs.

“Whew 1 but this is keen — awful ‘canny,’ he murmured — his own eyes wildly dancing.

Possessed, all at once, by the kinky spirit of prank, he proceeded to make them wilder still. Stooping to the bright mud at his feet, dipping a forefinger in it, he traced brassy rings around them, sprinkled with gold coins his puffed out cheeks — and with the finger curving, a bright orange horn, from the middle of his forehead, suddenly thrust his face out upon the mouthing darky.

“Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! Boo-hoo ! The — black goat has no hear-rt !*' he crowed.

“Oh! my gr-reat Lawd o' mussy!" The threatening negro form fell back. “ Laws — laws-a-mussy 1 be you-ou a boy-buckra — or be-e you de — dat ole In-ki-bink hisse'f?"

“I'm the In-ki-bink! Tiga ! Tiga ! I tell you the black goat has no heart," droned the boy-buffoon, weaving the spell of his evil eye on either side of the gray cypress-trunk — his form still hidden.

“Oh ! Juba. Juba ! Look w'ere I 'se at !"

The darky dropped readily upon a stump.

Into his widely rolling calf-eyes leaped suddenly a wild, pickaninny glamor of makebelieve that would have been glad — glad to find the flame-horned dragon of his old mammy’s tales peeping out at him, from this bogy swamp.

“Be-e you — ” he was beginning flightily again —

But, alas ! daylight in the twentieth century has no room for a deev — even “ a hundred miles from nowhere.”

“Hey! you Bill Will’am, w’at you doin’ there, you lazy suction man ? W’at you s’pose dem railroad folks payin’ you forre — foolin’ wit’ a Cotton-head, eh?”

It was a woman’s shrill voice, suddenly challenging from beyond the swamp.

The colored section man, railroad employee, started up.

“ I ’se not wastin’ time, gal,” he protested, lamely. “I ’se on my way.”

“You is; is you? You ’se not ’fraid o’ wor-rk, you no ’count track walker — you jest sets right down a-side of it!” hooted Chloe’s voice again.

“Gee! I wouldn’t sit down lazily beside it — any job she gave me — I ’d pitch right in an’ work my head off, if only she ’d give me something to eat, in return,” muttered the famished waif, his eyes seeking out between the trees the portly figure of the chiding negress. ‘‘No — no ‘diner' for us on the train last night ! Just a ham sandwich and an apple for me ! ' Wonder — wonder if Dyke remembers ? Wow ! 't would be heads or tails with him whether I stay up or starve."

It was a bright, man-hating dagger of misery that flashed now in the boyish eyes turned towards Chloe — who was admiring her turbaned head in a pool — while her chidden “suction man" rolled up the embankment, crooning :

“ I ’se ben wukking on de railroad,

All-11 de lib-long day-ay,

I ’se ben wukking on dat railroad,

Jes’ to pass de time away-ay! ”

Perhaps it was to further pass the time away that he entered a gray shanty by the track, once a watchman's shanty, now a toolshed, beside which flamed something that — as NeflF's eyes followed him — quenched the bitterness in them, the forsaken bitterness, turned the morning a little rose-colored again.

It was the pink glory of a rich red-bud, or Judas tree, already, in February, in full bloom. '

Cheered into believing that there might be some red-letter luck ahead of him, he turned hopefully towards Chloe — but of a sudden, her gay, calicoed figure danced — danced like a harlequin before his eyes.

Out of the distance came a rumble.

And the boy’s heart scurried in his breast more wildly than did the startled hare, at that moment painting its pats in the edge of the swamp.

It was the practical, every-day rumble of an approaching train !

Around a distant bend it hove in sight, the thundering Titan of the engine, closely followed by two sun-kissed baggage cars — then by a long string of day-coaches and brightly varnished Pullmans.

The sight of it, the sound of it, rubbed corners off the boy’s hunger.

Backward — backward he turned and raced with it — ahead of it — towards the point at which he had been dropped.

The flush of a wild idea, a desperate hope, was on his gasping clown’s face. Like a Jonathan Wild it rode him — regardless of his make-up !

The last train had stopped here, stopped for twenty minutes for despatch orders. Perhaps this flyer would do so too.

Then — then, if he told his story to the conductor, while its truth was still red-hot, surely the train-men, somebody, would have mercy on him, pick him up and carry him on.

“If not — if not to that place down south for which my ticket was taken, at least somewhere — anywhere — out of this wilderness, lonely as old Sarum he told himself.

But his heart was presently in his flying soles. He was treading on it — trampling on it ! For the special showed no signs of slowing up.

On — on it came, in full feather, full speed, in the direction of the gray shanty, with the flame of the flowering red-bud, candle-like, beside it.

Brighter blazed that Judas tree before the boy’s swimming sight. There came a moment when, its fragrant pink deepening, it seamed the embankment as with a blood-red scar, to his hopeless gaze.

And — and out of that moment reeled a shock ! Out of that moment came a crash that knocked the roof off the world, as it seemed, leaving the earth a lidless wreck, where still the Judas tree flamed on — treachery’s torch !

‘‘Wow! Some-thing registered that time,” faltered the waif, suddenly crippled in his tracks. “ Reg-is-tered ! ’ '

The feeble word was registering a horror in his own addled brain, never — never to be forgotten.

Down the steep embankment before him was tearing, pitching, plowing a maddened, derailed Titan engine, knocking spots of? Creation before his dazzled eyes.

“Jerry rode it! Old — Nick — rode it,” jabbered the waif of the by-ways deliriously as — with earthquake rumblings — it rolled upon its side ; and the blood-shot swamp behind him trembled at the sight.

Two giddy baggage cars, plunging, breakneck, too, almost piled themselves on top of it.

He had a raving vision of a foremost Pullman trying to kick up its heels as well, hanging half over the embankment’s edge, of chips and pale glass flying in gimcrack horror — of the whole train tottering and sidling upon the crumbling brink.

“Jerry — rode — it!” And then the waif, in his madness, became aware that Jerry, charging, had ridden down something.

The Judas tree was no more. At the moment when the train struck treachery in the shape of a splintered rail where the broken rail-top still remained in place in a way to bafhe even the examining eye of a section man, the radiant pink blossoms had been trampled and strewn.

A light had gone out. It went out in the castaway’s heart, too, as he realized that the gray shanty beside it into which Chloe’s “suction man” had disappeared, two minutes before, had been struck and shattered, also.

“It — it ’s over ev-ery-thing — the wreck 1 W-worst thing I ever saw 1 Worst I — ever — could see!” he gibbered faintly, feeling as if the bolt had struck him upstairs, in his turned-round brain and palsied for ever his “Jerry” tongue.

Chapter II

J UST at what point the groaning horror yawned and gave forth, that waif, watching, could not tell !

But — but, fructifying quickly, it gave birth to Boys. Boys by the dozen ! By the score !

To be sure, they were only the right wing of a swarm, but, like the wreck, they seemed to be over everything — especially the boys in khaki — in their zeal to take the reins from Jerry, demon of disaster, and right, as far as might be, the mischief he had wrought.

“Scouts ! Scouts stay up — and go to it Neff heard a ringing voice give forth. “Help get the passengers out of that forward Pullman where they must be standing on their heads ! Never mind cuts and bruises ! . . . Snap to !*'

And with one glance at the speaker, their leader, whose khaki was blood-stained as he knelt by a dying fireman who had jumped when Jerry rode — another at an older, dignified figure, the frost of whose little goatee was, also, dyed red — they snapped to, those sons of succor.

“Here! you fellows, Deanie and Rev, lend me a boost. I ’ll climb into that foremost Pullman and try an’ get a door open,” cried a boy whose shout, somehow, struck sparks from the punk- wood of the waif’s breast — the dummy waif whose feet had mechanically climbed the embankment. “Colored porter must be ‘rocked,’” added the fiery voice.

“Ha! He’s hot stuff all right, from — from his topper down !” said Neff to himself.

His eyes were on that blazing “topper,” a head so red that it shamed the blood upon the tall youth’s cheek — so red that it streaked horror’s darkness like a fire-ball in a raging thunder-shower.

There was red — red on the breast of his khaki coat, too — which had a patrol leader’s badge of crimson and gray upon the shoulder — as he clambered through the gap of an empty window-frame, spiked with broken glass, and into that crazy car.

“I’m afraid he’ll find that it’s not only the porter who’s ‘rocked’ — that the passengers are all stunned too, if not worse,” said a panting, stout boy whom Neff had heard addressed as “Rev”; his plump cheeks, shiny with sensation, looked as if he had freshly anointed them with cream.

“Gee ! I hope he won’t find the rear door — that tilted door of the Pullman — jammed,” gasped a tall, lank youth whom the waif identified as Deanie — they were the two who had boosted the flaming topper through the carwindow. “It is — it is-s stuck tight, that blamed door,” flickered Dean. “Hear him! He ’s using the porter’s steel stool upon it, I guess — ‘busting’ it — battering it down — gee ! Oh-h I if anyone can go it s-strong in an emergency, it ’s that red Drake 1”

“Bully! Bully! There it goes d-down!” cried an older man, very pale, whose right arm Neff judged to be broken from the way that two younger Boy Scouts were attending to it, putting it in a sling. “Now — now, we can start getting them out !”

He lent even a little aid with his left hand, Neff saw that, while the less injured of the adult passengers together with the older boys lowered the occupants of the damaged Pullman from the rear, tilted entrance : men stunned, with torn clothing — women pallid, with streaming hair.

“W- worst thing I ev-er saw!” moaned the waif to himself — and withdrew a little way to look on.

Boys younger than he was — younger than his fourteen years — were stoutly helping in the work of rescue — now and then squirmingly feeling a numb elbow or knee, to ascertain if it still ‘‘belonged.”

Plucking off their scout coats — the major portion of this active boy-swarm wore scout khaki — they 'were adroitly making stretchers, running their poles through embroidered scoutsleeves — stretchers on which some of the injured were laid and borne to the softest spot on the embankment.

Others of this youthful first-aid corps were fetching water, bathing blood-stained faces, rolling a little coat into a pillow for a sufferer’s head — and all as naturally as if it were the very mission which had brought them here.

“ Gee ! but those Boy Scouts sure can put it across/’ murmured the dummy watcher, the swamp castaway, but with no thought of putting anything “across” himself, until, suddenly, a spark lodged even in his dead-wood — a fruitful one this time — a spark from that red head.

For now — now came the moment when the beaten demon was sneaking from his lair again, to start a new disaster.

Little fire — dread weeds of flame — were breaking out here, there, everywhere along the stricken train, none knew whence or how — unless the grinding wheels could tell the story, or the heating freight in the baggage-cars, over the embankment’s edge.

“Drake!” cried the elderly man with the little white goatee — who, with the Scoutmaster, was attending to the train crew, the worst sufferers. “Dra-akel”

“Ye-es, sir!” The fiery topper bending over an unconscious woman in the act of lowering her from the Pullman, was alertly lifted.

“You — you take the older boys of your patrol, get the chemicals from the passenger cars — water-r, too — put out those fires before they spread ! Let the men attend to the rest of the passengers V*

“Yes, sir! . . . Come now! fellows, make it fa-ast cried Drake. “Fire an' soda-water wait for no one!" with a feeble attempt at a joke. “Mustn't let 'em plunge through — the flames 1"

And that was the moment when the spark in the waif s breast germinated.

Suddenly, half hysterically, he pitched in to help — and found himself the bluntest tool.

Among these edgy boy scouts who had borrowed the legs of the wind in their rush upon the fire, he was, for the most part, in the way, — elbowed round like a buffer.

“Oh-h 1 wake up. Get the lead out of you," sneered one. “What are you doing here — burning up daylight ?"

Whereupon the half-famished waif, galvanized into a lubberly attempt to improve daylight, instead of vainly consuming it, awkwardly bumped into another who was lowering a pail of water over the embankment's edge.

Half the liquid flew.

*Ww-w ! get back to your hole/’ snapped the bearer, the patrol leader — Drake of the fiery tongue and mien.

And the waif — the waif, browbeaten in the past by his pal Dyke, the “Unc’,” who had left him to stay up or starve, slunk down the embankment — a little yellow-spotted animal.

But — the animal cry did not come from his throat.

“Ye-ow! Ye-ow-ow! . . . Yee-ow-ow-owT*

Buried, crushed — frightfully pleading — a runner, a note, of it reached his abject ear.

“Hully gee ! a dog. A dog, hound — hunting dog — pinned down — pinned down by the wreck in that forward baggage car ! Gee-ee ! I m-must save the — pup.”

He was no branded animal now. He was a champion. A champion, in a moment, from the feet no longer blundering to the flame in the hollow eyes, still surrounded by their brassy rings.

Dyke and he had left a hunting dog, dear to his heart, behind in that little town of northern Virginia whence they had started on this luckless trip — because it could not come in on a daredevil ‘‘plumer’s” game.

“ A hound — young hound — in that b-burning car ! Maybe two or three 1 Oh-h 1 I must s-save the pups.”

Recklessly he was mounting upon the cavedin side of the sweltering baggage-car, defying, wildly defying, its burning breath — the smoke — where a flame was creeping towards the tethered animals, bound for Florida and hunting, too.

His young face that of a madman, haggard under its muddy -smears, he was flinging aside empty milk-cans, flour-sacks, broken pieces of frame which had piled themselves upon the three young hounds, all forgotten by their “ rocked ” owner who had been in that foremost Pullman.

“ R-right you are — Buddy ! We dl wor-rk together.”

It was a voice at his elbow speaking — the voice of the patrol leader, Drake, who had ordered him to his hole.

“The poor — pups! The p-poor pups!” was the one raving answer.

The liberator laid hold at the moment of a heavy timber, part of the wrecked car-frame, which pinned down one of the moaning dogs.

His famished strength staggered back from moving it.

“We’ll make it together — Buddy y' said that voice at his elbow again.

And even at that minute a thrill swept the waif from head to foot; it was his first real taste of the team spirit — true gang spirit — the grand, the fighting thrill when brother “makes it” side by side with brother.

Sorely injured one of them, lamed all three of them, the moaning dogs were freed.

“ So — so-o you were the first to catch on to their being in the baggage-car — start in to get them out ! Good work. Buddy ! ” cried other of the fire-fighters coming up at the moment.

But the “pup’s” champion looked wildly — dazedly — at them, as he dropped weakly upon a piece of wreckage, blowing upon his scorched hands.

This digging-out had reminded him of something — weirdly reminded him.

“They — they We not all,” he managed to get out. “Somebody — somebody else b-buried ! Man — darky — section-man — buried — buried up-p there, ruins of that old shanty beside the tr-rack ! I saw him go in — just — before — ”

“Ou-ouch! Horrible!’’ The leader’s breath shook. ‘ ^He c-can’t be living now. Still — we might try 1 Come along, you two — Dean and Rev 1 Let — let the others finish up with the fire!”

Breathlessly he was climbing the embankment again, followed by his two supporters.

The waif — no longer quite such a castaway — pulling himself together, crawled after them.

Reaching the embankment, he turned suddenly sick — sicker than the smoke had made him ! Forth from the gray wreck of that railroad shanty protruded — gruesome sight — the dark toes of a pair of rubber boots.

The negro had worn such high boots when he played In-ki-bink with him in the swamp.

“Hea-vens! what’s — this?” Drake touched a mud-caked rubber toe ; it was empty.

“Oh-h ! he must be doubled up under-r the timbers.” The leader’s forehead grew clammy. “ I guess he ’s gone. But a nigger has nine lives. Time may be worth the dickens of a lot just now. . . . We ’ll dig him out, anyway !”

He laid hold on the topmost timbers — and flung them aside.

His two chums, Deanie and the Rev, both looking a little sick, too — they were rather fed up upon horror by this time — pitched in to help him.

Even the waif, reckless of his burnt hands, put his last pinch of starveling pep into scattering those timbers, like a hen.

“I guess the engine, in plunging, only struck one corner of the hut — with the tree beside it — and knocked ’em galley west,” said Drake, working maniacally.

All of a sudden he paused, the perspiring leader. A spasm shook him.

Kneeling he thrust one arm in under the remaining heap of gray timbers.

“The snake’s ribs!” he ejaculated — and scattered them like a scratching fox.

No black form 1 No huddled limbs 1 No dark feet of a section man who would never walk a track again 1

Nothing — nothing but a pair of rubber boots 1

And over the embankment’s rim, a few yards away, a woolly head suddenly thrust, wild eyes rolling — a voice out of terror’s tomb hoarsely hailing :

“Air ye a -digging o* me out, boss! Lawd sakes 1 dis niggah ain* half-ways oveh Jor-rdan yet. He ain’ hanging up de fiddle y-yet 1” “The cat's knuckles 1 The snake's ribs 1"

It was indeed a beggar-all climax. The boys were young. As yet, so far as they knew, Death had come down, flat-footed, upon nobody. They lay down and howled beside the track.

And the waif, no longer a castaway, yapped with them.

Chapter III

I N — in the name of Jack Pudding! where did you come from ? What circus dropped you here ? ''

It was more than an hour later. A wrecking crew had arrived to head-pin the engine, uncouple it from the battered cars — bringing a doctor and nurses with them.

Pale forms still lay upon the embankment’s rim — some of them on the stretchers formed of the scouts’ coats. But the horror was lifting.

And weary boys, scorched as weary, who had found the dining-car in the rear stormridden, but still fruitful, had “cornered” some sandwiches and tepid coffee, and were now breakfasting upon the embankment’s side — the waif among them, eating ravenously.

‘‘You — you were on our train, were you fired off Drake again, attacking an orange between questions as he scrutinized the hungry, four-foot-six boy, smeared with bright mud in a daubed Punch and Judy make-up.
