I had not looked!
"I found Iter— my Jane—on the poor

From his coat old Silas produced a

carefully stowed it away. Be lapsed
into a happy revury.
Cecil smiled, with moist eyes. On
the sent Just in front a mau sat with
hat pulled low over furtive, glittering
glances. This man was sometimes
known as Sykes. However, he really
was entitled to the honorary title gen
erally bestowed-his friends and ad
mirers Invariably referred to blm as
"Bail" Sykes.
Bad Sykes' thin lips writhed into a
grin of eager greed.
Ahead of the locomotive a man snd
denly stepped Into the middle ot the
track and waved a red flag. The emer
gency brakes screamed, and the train
came to a bumping halt.
The erstwhile flagman covered the
engine crew wiui two heavy Colts
Several stubble bearded gentlemen
suddenly arose from the bushes along
side the track and climbed into the
express car. as though ou Imperative
business.
At the first bite of the brakes Bad
Sykes had thrown aside bis mask of
repose. He arose swiftly, with both
hands •'tilled."
"All hands up—keep 'em up—march
out the back door an' line np'long the
track!" he ordered, and was obeyed.
l.ord Cecil felt distinctly gratified.
This was just the sort of thiug one
bad a right to expect in America.
Personally he could sutler little from
any number ot holdups, his money be
ing of such denominations and quan
tity as would have provoked the con
tempt of a sneak thief.
Really they would think It deucedly
amusing nt the club
Cecil was at the end of the line
which had formed up along the right
of way. Next to him was old Silas.
Mr. Sykes had begun at the other
end and worked his way down with
dispatch, the passengers dropping their
valuables, almost with eagerness, it
seemed, into the bag which was held
to receive them.
Silas contributed a small roll of bills
with shaking hand
"Dig up that wallet, quick!" Mr.
Sykes snarled, and his revolver men
aced.
Old Silas glanced abntit wildly, as
though* contemplating flight, but the
black muzzle stared unwinkingly into
bis face.
"Quick!" Mr. Sykes prompted, and
about his eyes came the tins puckers
that Just precede the tightening of a
finger on a trigger.
With the joy of life stricken from his
face, old Silas dropped the wallet into
the gaping bag.
"An' that watch." Mr. Sykes prompt
ed Lord Cecil, and the watch was add
ed to the other booty.
"Oh. God! My Jano—l can't take
you now—always—the poor farm!"
The broken, sobbing whisper was
close at Lord Cecil's side.
A flame seemed to leap through his
veins, and for an Instant a red veil
obscured his vision. There was n
movement in the line toward the other
end.
"Keep still, there!" Mr. Sykes roared
and turned eyes and gun toward the
disorder.
To the point of the Jaw. swiftly.
Lord Cecil struck, and Bud Sykes drop

In an instant Cecil bad possessed

"Keep still, every one! Tie this chap!
Watch the bag!" he snapped and duck

With swift lightness. Lord Cecil ran
the length of the train.
As he slipped round the engine the
bandit guarding the crew sprang back
with a startled yell, and his bullet cut
a lock from Cecil's bead.
Then he pitched stiffly on to his face,
and Cecil, a flaming weapon In either
hand, was facing the storm of bullets
sent at him by the bandits leaping
from the express car.
Suddenly the battle was at an end.
One of the men by the express ear
dropped with a stifled moan—the en
glne crew, possessing themselves of the
«
guns of tiie tlrst dead outlaw, had
come valiantly to Cecil's support—the
remaining outlaws, the spirit gone

ground.
