found kinsman, alphabetically. But

will rescue your father at all hazards"
I'VE must be cautious" said the
brave, beautiful girl. All depends on
caution. l happen to know where the
officers are watching tonight. 1t is
not far. We will approach the ave
where poor father has been held so
long a prisoner. We will go by a back
path with which 1 am we'll acquainted.
We will attempt the rescue, and God
grant we may be successful. Then We
will go to the officers and ask protec-
ton, for we are as nothing compared
with the outlaws in numbers and
strength"
"Why not get the officers help first ?"
inquired Willard.
Because that would take time,
which must not be wasted. The rob-
bers will not return for an hour at

were too quick for him and had him
gagged and bound before he had MT

and delighted beyond measure to learp
that one of his rescuers was the son OF
the sister from whom he had long suf-
fered estrangement.
They found the officers easily and
sent them on the robbers trail. The
chief was captured, with some of his
most notorious allies, and the noun.

Our friends reached New York safely,
and then a happy reunion took place.
