"You really do?" "Bcforp today is out," said Spargo confidently. "There is moro magic in a thousand-pound reward that) you fancy, Breton. I'll lruvc tho history of that stick before midnight." "How nro you to tell that you won't bo imposed upon?" suggested Breton. "Anybody can soy that ho or she stolo tho stick." "Whoever comes hero with any talo jof a stick will have, to prove to mo how ho or she got tho stick and what wns done with the stick," Bald Spargo. "I haven't tho least doubt that thnt stick was stolen or taken away from Ayl mOre's rooms In Fountain Court, and thnt It got into tho hands of " "Yes, of whom?" -"That's! what I want to know In some fashion.

He was looking at Spargo with a mcdl-1 tntlvo expression. "Spargo," he said, suddenly, "do you thluk you'll get thnt order for the opening of tho gravo at Market Mil caster?" "I was talking to tho solicitors over tho phone just now," answered Spargo. "They'vo every confidence about It. In fact, It's possible, it may be made this afternoon. In thnt case, the open ing will be made early tomorrow morn ing." 'Shall you go?" ntked Brecon. "Certainly. And you enn go with me. if you like. Better keep iu touch with us all day in cae wo hear. You ought to be there you're roncerned." "I should like to go I will go," hold Breton. "And if that grave proves to be empty I'll I'll tell you some thing." Spargo looked up with sharp instinct. "Never mind watt until wo see If Hint coffin contains n dead body or lead end sawdust. If there's no body there " At that moment one of tho senior mchscngcr boys enmc In and approached Spargo. His coitntcnnnce. usuuilv sub dued to an official stolidity, showed sign-, of something very like excitement. "There's a man downstairs usking for you. Mr. Snnriro." ho said. "Hc'h been hanging ubout a bit. sir-- sccms very shy nbout coming up. He won't say .what he uants, and ho won't nil up a form, sir. Snjs all he wants is a word or two with you." "Bring lilm up nt once!" commanded Spargo. Uc turned to Breton uhen the boy had gone. "There! ho said. laughing. "This is the man about the stick you ice if it isn't." "You're such a cocksure chop, Spargo," said Breton. "You're always going on a straight line." "Trying to, you mcau," retorted Spnrgo. "Well, slop here, nnd hear what thli chap has to say: it'll no doubt be amusing." The messenger boy, deeply conscious that he was ushering into Spargo's room an individual who might shortly carry away a thousand pounds of good Watch man money in his pocket, opened tho door and introduced a shy and self conscious young mnn, whose nervous ness was painfully upparent to every body nnd deeply felt by himself He halted on the threshold, looking round the comfortably furnished room, and at the two well-dressed young men which It framed as if lie feared to enter on a scene of such grandeur. "Come iu. coinu In!" mid Snarco. rising and pointing to an easy-chair at the Hide of his desk. "Take a seat. You've called about that reward, of course."

Tho llamcs sprang up; llngle Feuthcr uud his braves seemed doomed. But at this moment there cumo a startling Interruption, "llec-hawl Hee-haw!" roared a rasping voice out of tho darkness. It was tho bray of Balky Sam and its strnngcuess seared the savages as it had scared tho Indian boys. They whirled around, only to get another bcorc, for there, swaying hlch nbove the ground, was tho biggest In dian they had ever seen. "Hee-haw!" ronrcd tho voice again, und a bright light suddenly glared llercclv from tho fucc of the huge, swujlng Indiuu. It was Billy's llushllght, but tho Indiaus thought it was the uugry, llrc-dnrting eye of a ghost. "Heo-haw!" roared thu voice n third time and, with a fluttering flurry, In dian heads began to II y around in tho shudow outsldo tho glow of tho lire. It was the Wild Gccso wearing tho Indian headdresses. At tho same Instant. Flashing Eye and Littlo Bear, the Indian boys, began to flro their arrows into the savages as fast ns they could. Peggy and Billy helped out by throwing stones. "Heo haw!" roared Balky Sam, and, wearing his Indlau headdress, ho rushed toward tho frightened Indians. Thnt finished tho savages. With shouts of frantic fear they turned uud lied fled far, far, until their weary legs would carry them no farther. And thu Indians tied to the stakes, they wcro scared, too moro scared of tho ghosts than they wcro of tho flumes leaping up to devour them. They feared that tbeso ghosts wcro coming to carry them off. They, too, would have lied when Balky Sam kicked tho burning wood nway, and tho childron cut their bonds If Flashing ISyo and Llttlo Bear had not stopped them. "You are safe!" shrieked the Indian boys. "Tho White Spirits havo saved you. They are our friends. Bo not afrnidl" Then Chief Kaglo Feather stopped tho flight of his braves, aud thanked Billy and Peggy. "Come with us to our village," ho said. "Thero you shall bo our honored guests."
