carefully and then spoke oulokly.
"Boys, we must either find one of
their boats or fight K out. Sanders,
you will follow the prisoner and lin
ger can bring up the rear." He threw
soma water on the fire, tolew out the
lights and they filed silently out Into
the night. Wharton headed for the
shore of the lake below, where they had
left the boat. The damp grass and
weeds clung to their limbs, wetting
their clothing through. Across the lone
ly wastes of the swamp came the
mournful hoot of an owl. They pushed
desperately forward through the
tangled mass of the rank growths bord
erlag (he lake. It seemed an age to
Hilgerd before he heard Wharton utter
an exclamation of satisfaction, and saw
h'm. stooping down, shove a long black
object Into tfce open water. It was the
oat and they breathed more freely.

"Do yon hear that? We are none too

"Jee, they are tryrctj our range, and

They bad not long to wait. Another
flash anil the leaden missile whistled
so Oloee overhead that Hilgerd and the
sheriff snvolnntarlly ducked together.
Wharton never stirred.
They're Improving some," said lie,
trrhflly. "Turn about is fair play."
He twang the SS-caUber Winchester to
bis shoulder with the easy grace of a
born rifleman. . A master of the wea
pec ks poised tt lightly, his attitude
a artlstlo study. As they rose on a lit
tle swell, he fired. Clink clink! went
the lever, and the second report seemed
but an eoho of Hit first. The pungent
fumes of the burnt powder hung closely
aboVt In (he moisture laden air. No
sound came from the pursuers to Indi
cate mm effect of the vtiots, but the dis
tance between them gradually widened.
"We probably disabled one of her
propellers." said Wharton throwing In
another shell. "The mouth of the creek
Is right over there, and we ought to

"So," answered Wharton, pointing
ahead. "A few more strong pulls. San
ders, and you will 'have saved the day."
They were heading for an impenetrable
thicket, barricaded by a mass of fallen,
water-soaked logil They were almost
upon the largest of these, and Hilgerd
braced himself for the shock. It never
came, for the boat, as Is moved by hu
man Impulse, swerved swiftly to the
left, and grazing some low, overhang
ing vlr.s, glided through a narrow
channel Into a hidden pool.
"Not a word, now, for you life." said
Wharton, Imprtslvely. He drew his re
volver and cocked it.
"Now, Professor, It rests with you who
will go first. You understand?"
The prisoner silently bowed his h;ad.
Several nv'nut.J ij; cd In a sll?nce that
almost made itself felt. Then came the
slight S!i3h of an oar.

gradually dying away Into th night.
Five minutes passed. Wharton broke
the rpell with a laugh.
"F.ofessor, I am afraid your proteges
are not in the habit of frequenting your
valuable library to any great extent.
Jake has talent, rhetorically speaking.
Why neglect him?"
The Professor disdained more than a
grunt m reply, and Wharton directed
Sanders to row across the pool. They
pulled th bolt upon a sort of Hland,
dryer than the surrounding parts and
built a Are. Hilgerd started to bring
something from the boat and Wharton
followed Mm down to where It was
pulled upon th? rind. He came close
and rpoke In Hilgerd's ear.
"Paul, things have taken an unex
pected and disappointed turn.
There Is but one way I can see now
to discover any trase of poor Newell,
and that la through Mm." nodding hU
head toward the etlH manacled cap
tive. "I must tilk to him o.nd if Newell
Is itltl alive I will promise him all pos
sible lenlenocy If hi will tell us where
to find him. It is the only way, and
there Is no time to lose. The gang
must, of course, get out of their pres
ent quarters, and they will not trouble
themselves to take Newe'J; do you un
derstand?" "Perfectly," answered Hilgerd. They
returned to the fire and Wharton said
something In a low tone to the profes
sor, who arose sullenly and followed
him oft to one side. They sat on a log
Just Inside the circle of light which
threw weird, waving shadows off Into
the dismal recesses of the swamp.
Wharton bent forward speaking earn
estly, occasionally raising his hands
with expressive gestures. The profes
sor sat erect with the mien of an In
dian chief, staring back with set vis
age at the glowing embers where Hil
gerd sat with the collar of his coat
thrown up. The damp air was pene
trating. It was long before the council
ended and Hilgerd awoke from his doze
with a start as Wharton's hand fell on
his shoulder. He got up without a word
and followed hltn down to the boat,
leaving the sleepy sheriff to rtand
guard. Wharton's face was serious
and Hilgerd expected the worst. The
gray light of an early morning threw a

ghostly mantle over the odd shapes
of the stunted trees, and the influence
of the scene was felt by both.
"T'te profcjuor has told me all," raid
Wharton, slatvly. "Newell Is still alive,

depends upon our action. An hour's

"Perfectly.". replied Hilgerd. "I
wouldn't miss' the rest for the world."
"I appreciate your friendship, Paul,"
said the other, turning away.
Hilgerd carefully placed the letter In
his pocket, and then bathed his face In
the cold water of the pool. With some
difficulty they pushed the boat over the
portage to Mud Creek, whose swift cur
rent was soon hurrying them along
through the fog of the early morning. A
fallen tree caused some delay, and Just
as they reached the bank below the
track they heard the distant rwhlatle of
the 7.40 train.
"Just in time to get your ticket!" ex
claimed Wharton. He left Sanders with
the professor and dashed after Hilgerd
up the steep sandy embankment. He
followed him into the car and whis
pered a few final instructions. Hilgerd
saw him turn for another friendly
glance, as he reached the door, and
then he disappeared from view.
Number 26. for the east, left Reeds
vllle on time at 8.20. Hilgerd. with a
good cigar between his Hps. lay back
lastly on the cushioned seat. He was
feeling very comfortably after his
hearty breakfast, though a trifle
diowcy. The morning sun shone bright
ly on the circling fields, with their
curious crooked fences, and Hllgred
thought that It was good to be alive,
It was twenty miles to the Junction
ana he was wishing for a morning
paper to while away the time. His
band fumbling mechanically in his coat
pocket, touched Wharton's letter. He
drew it forth with a silent laugh. He
had forgotten all about It. Tearing
open the envelope with an Indifferent
yawn he read as follows:
"Muskrat Pool. SeDt. 25. 4 a m

actor. Do you recall how beautifully ha
played the part of the surprised bandit? Of
courts this Is not the first t.me w have
supported each other, and practice Is mak
ing n:m perrect. Probably I am not so
bad myself when. It comes to the heavy
parts, but his talent la pronounced. It
would irausn you to know how Newell
hoodwinked the gang and sained the con
fldence of that merciless devil, the Pro
fessor. You see there was a real Profes

the second one we trapped. Newell subbed

It Is snugly stored away in my satchel to
gether with the princely sum that the
gang had hoarded up In the tin box. As
you wll remember, you carried this money
to me yourself across the little bridge.
This was the safest plan. If they had im
mediately discovered the trick you can
see how easy It would have been for me
to have quickly withdrawn from the scene,
leaving you burdened with the necessity
or making some very embarrassing ex
planatlons. Luckily we were not discov
ered. We both desire to thank you heart

though unconsciously rendered. That In
fernal Simmi -came near turning our
ngnts on us.
"Did you get a good look at the Pro
fessor's daughter? That was Curly Dick,
a successful masquerader in female cos
tume, and a much better shot than his
partner, as you can testify. It occurred
to me that we might run across some of
his attire, and My dramatic, through
probably Satanic sense of humor suggest
ed the daughter business to help out the
play, but when Curly himself suddenly
loomed up In full costume I confess I was
somewhat staggered at the realistic pre
sentation of the plot.
"The stupid sheriff we will accidentally
drop on one of these numrruus islands.
We have nothing but kindly feelings to
ward him on account of bis heroic work

enough m this deal to place us bsyond im

where we will operate next, but rest as
sured I will drop you a line In which you
may find material for future work. Of
course I would expect no reply. Trusting

Several minutes later the car door
opened and closed with a bang.
"C-e-d-a-r J-u-n-ct-l-o-n!" bawled
the businesslike brakeman. with the
turned-up nose and prominent triangu
lar ears. He paused and gazed curious
ly at the ma,: In the third seat from the
front, on the left. ' A bunch "of paper
was tightly clenched in his hand, while
the other fumbled at his throat. His
face was white and he looked helpless
ly and without meaning at the flitting
trees. He did not look up ait the brake
man's touch, and the latter passed on
In hesitating wonderment.
On and on, with It's monotonous roar
plunged the flying train. Then night
came softly down, and Hilgerd fell Into
fitful slumber.

"Any mall here for Clinton Jones?"
Inquired the well-known railroad agent
of the postmaster of a little town In
Shasta. '
'Jones; Jones. That name sounds fa
miliar," mused the old man In charge.
"Yes, no doubt," remarked Jones, tartly.
"Course It does. Oh, yes;" and a flood
of recollection poured In upon the post
master. "Are you any kin to old Bill
Jones?" '
"Not that I know of. Any mail for
me?"
"Let me. seel Old Dill Lazy Bill Jones

"No, sir; I'm not. Will you-"
"Must be," declared the old man, posi

The Jersey Central Is making prepara
tions to repair Its entire freight and coal
car equipment at the Ashley shops to do
the work for the New Jersey Central and
New Jersey Southern divisions.
Wilkes-Barre Recced: "The Williams
Coal company, composed mostly of Wilkes
Barre capitalists with Senator Williams at
the head, which recently reached the
basin of the coal measures at Its opera
tions near Mt. Laffee, Schuylkill, after
sinking to a depth of nearly 1,600 feet, and
Is arranging to build a large breaker with
all the latest appliances for the thorough
and economical preparation of coal. The
breaker will be of monstrous dimensions
and will have a capacity of from 1.000 to
1,200 tons daily. Gangways are already
being opened and an 8-foot vein of the very
best quality of Red Ash coal worked. Be
neath this there are veins of coal of a
total thickness of 120 feet.
Scranton believes It can furnish Buffalo
with elctridty at a much cheaper llgure
than It can be produced at Niagara falls.
A Buffalo Times reporter met a promi
nent capitalist and business man of Scran
ton recently and he told the reporter that
a number of Scranton capitalists are giv
ing the matter thorough consideration,
and that they will doubtless organise a
company soon and endeavor to outdo
Niagara with a vengeance. "These men
mean business," said the gentleman.
"They have got plenty of money of their
own, and I have reason to believe that
they are quietly Interesting New York
capital, too. In their scheme. They have
held several meetings, I am told, and have
one or two of the best electricians In the
country advising them. I also understand
that our board of trade Is looking into
the subject, and purposes to push the mat
ter It it Is practicable. The idea, you
know. Is to use culm as fuel to produce
the electricity. Men who know what they
are talking about say that the cost of
producing a horse-power of electricity at
Scranton by using culm, will be less than
$8 a year. It Is a well known fact that It
will cost nearly double that amount for
the same production at Niagara, and of
course a reasonable profit must be added
to this, too. So you see that when the
question of transmission Is once solved,
Scranton can Immediately step to the
front and sell your city of Buffalo, and
Dopew here, electrlcty at a figure way be
low Niagara's."
On the Face of It.

(Action
to our patrons :
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pal
rons thnt they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it h already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take)
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
