They were sit ting nuder the edit of the bank neur the railroad, wunin 100 yards of the shaft at the time and spoke in a rap pressed an I whispered tone. Tbey pasped eainionsly around, lest anybody nujfhl be within hearing distance, and in doing so ol served there was an in truder on their privacy. Knowing that their diabolical plot was no louner a secret, they sprang on Mulloy With the ferocity of desperation, knocked him dowu and kicked him ami would evidently have killed him but for the lUUUlMM suggestion of one of toe nil -ham. who miim ited that if to- I Mul loy) would pledge him-elf solemnly not to reveal anything he had seen or heard they would spare bis life, lie was glad to give the rtiiutred as surances and went hia way badly used tip und just as badly scared. lie went immediately to the residence Ol Mine Foreman F.
