girl slammed the door and I fount
myself being hurried up a flight o.
stairs and through an open trap-doo
on the roof. The girl gave me a push
as angry cries followed US, and said
To the river, your only chance
They mean to kill you You may bt
sure I wasted no time in grateful
thanks, though why she braved thu
angry crowd for my sake I never
knew.
81 leaped rapidly from one fat roo
to another towards the river, but
none too fast, for tramping feet oath!
and shots followed all to quickly To-
my comfort, and as I leaped from thu
last roof into the river, one bullet
made the holes in the crown Of that
hat, just missing my head. The ruf
fans thought they had finished me
and then the rush of the waiting
posse, who made a dash when they
heard the commotion, gave then

'sIt was a short time before I wa.
on the opposite bank of the river re.

more feared and hated by law break
ers than the regular Officers and
knew ii my business were known, as
it seemed it was. it was as much as
my life was worth to return for the
present Besides, the work 1 had
undertaken was finished. so I con-
cluded to 90 due north till I struck
the railroad, stop the first train I
saw, 60 to the next station. then tele-
graph back for my grip and continue
my journey West.
cit was now towards morning and
I concluded had better make myself
scarce, before daylight revealed my
whereabouts. I struck out rapidly
for the north. but when the hot sun
came out and with most of the time
nothing to show me my locality, I
lost my reckoning and must have
taken a northwesterly course. Thus
it was long in the afternoon when I
sighted telegraph poles and knew I
must be near the railroad Taking
out my climbers, which, with tele-
graph instruments in case of some
emergency I always carried with me
during my trips, 1 climbed the pole,
cut the wires and telegraphed to the
station east to stop the next train
where a white flag was flying from a
telegraph pole. l then tackled my
to the pole and slid
down. Twas so overcome with hunger
and fatigue that I knew this precau-
ton was necessary, for I might drop
to sleep and fail to hear the train.
sIn about two hours a train came
along, stopped and took me on. The
engineer told me l must have trav.

A As soon as the train was under
way,e the conductor wanted to know
by what right 1 had stopped the
train. took out my pass and showed
him my official badge. In few min
utes he left me and said a few words
to two men, the only other passengers
on the train and then went out.
81 had noticed the suspicious
glance OF the two men before, and
now I noticed they winked knowing
ly to each other. but I partly closed
my eyes and pretended to be doing,
yet all the time watching my fellow
closely and wondering
what was up I scented foul play
and meant to be on my guard.
"Finally the men came aud saun-
tered toward me and one was just
about to put his hand on my shoulder
and l caught glimpse Of pair Of
handouts in the other fellows hand,
when out came my six-shOOter and I
told them not to touch me as they
valued their lives 1 had taken them
by surprise as it was too late for
them to draw their weapons.
They fell back, but did not
put up my revolver till I was
safe in the next station. Seeing a
large placard on the wall, as I entered
the little waiting room. l turned to
read it with my hands behind me. In
a moment 1 felt pair Of steel brace
lets snap on my wrists and I wheeled
to meet the complaeent looks
Of my fellow passengers, the train
hands, and telegraph operator. lust

wanted to know what they meant
and ordered them to release me. For
answer, one of the men clapped his
hand on my shoulder and said:

to blurt out, why l am G.
R. Raymond myself, and not much Of
a dead man, either, as you will find
out il you don't release me at once.
''They still kept calm and advised
me to read the notice behind me, for
1 could come no game on them.
Il turned and read: Murdered.
