rushed towards the door.

Mexican had almost reached the door, and

also prevented from pursuit by the tables,
and so without losing any further time in
shouting or pursuing, he toro the revolver
from his breast pocket, aimed fora moment
with perfect calmness at the dying Mexican,
and pulled the trigger. Ilo required no

pistol the heavey bag fell to the ground, and,
with bound and sell, the thief was out oil
