day came when Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton were able to apply the
final and most severe test to the roadbed that ran across the Man-killer
quicksand. Their work was finished, and finished splendidly, adding
another great triumph to their record as young engineers.

"These hot countries are fine, for a while," grunted Harry Hazelton, as
the young engineers left Paloma in a special Pullman car that General
Manager Ellsworth had sent for their use.

"They are fine, in fact; but one gets tired of working on a blistering
desert. I hope our next long undertaking will be in a country where ice
grows as one of the natural fruits."

"Greenland, for instance?" smiled Tom Reade.

"Alaska, at all events," responded Harry hopefully.

"Do you know where I'm figuring on making my next stop?" Tom inquired.

"Where?"

"In good old Gridley, the town where we were born, boy! I'm fairly
aching for a sight of the good old town. Will you go with me?"

"For a few weeks, yes," Harry agreed. "But after that little rest?"

"After our visit to the good old home town," Tom Reade replied, "we'll
go anywhere on earth where a good, big chance for engineering offers.
Harry, we've yet nearly all of our work ahead of us to do if we're ever
going to be real, Class A engineers!"

That our young engineers found still greater work awaiting them will be
discovered in the next volume in this series, which is published under
the title, "The Young Engineers in Nevada; or, Seeking Fortune on the
Turn of a Pick."

In this narrative we find our young friends wholly away from railroad
work, but engaged in an even greater undertaking. The adventures
awaiting them were more exciting than any they had yet encountered. Fame
and fortune, too, offered a greater opportunity. How the young engineers
embraced the opportunity will be made plain to our readers.
