troublesome" he said; "for they have
come to stay. The chief is Marshal
Calicot, and believe he knows more
than he will betray."

NO." was the answer. "He's as
smooth and specious as a diplomat.
Two of the others are coarse deputies,
but the third can't make out. He is

IDENTIFY understand each other"
Hendricks instructions were to this
effect: "They will tire themselves out
in time. Be cautious, and get Miss En-
dicott down here at the first opportu-
nifty"
Fenning was piqued. 81 suppose we
shall have to be deprived of the lady's
society till these interlopers go away"
'It looks like it," replied Hendricks,
"but we've got good deal to do"
The situation was now a very pecul-
lar one. Four officers of the law were
quietly waiting within fifty feet of the
conspirators, but in entire ignorance
of their whereabouts. 1t was Hem
bricks policy not to precipitate mat
tiers. He wished above all else not to
bring on conflict with the authorities
until his plans were all matured. He
felt perfectly safe from force in his re-
treat, and he felt reasonably certain
that, if the doctor and Mrs. Hendricks
were discreet, the means of commun-
ication would not be discovered. He
therefore decided to let things take
their course above ground and look
after the important matters below,
feeling pretty sure that the officers
would in time grow tired of waiting
aimlessly in the vicinity.
And matters below were indeed of
vital Importance to the success of Hen
bricks schemes. Six hundred men had
left the place through the Bayou house
during the week and four hundred
more were to be sent out This distri
button was comparatively easy SO long
as he had the use of boat at the bayou
and could distribute the men along the
Mississippi. But even with this adj
vantage, there was a great deal of de-
tail work. 1t was resolved to keep
nucleus of hundred men in the place
the rest were repeatedly instructed
as to their future duties, as they left
and scattered over the country. They
took nothing away but the clothes
they brought with them. The greatest
care was exercised in distributing them.
Over hundred and fifty went separate
~ afoot to Memphis and gave out that
they had been working on the levee at
the bayou. Nearly a hundred went
across country eastward into the
mountains. 1t was urgently necessary
to get the remaining men out before
the officers discovered the southwest
ern exit.
1t took three days to accomplish this
and it soon became apparent that Fen
ming was more FESTIVE than Hendricks.
The communications were kept up
with the sanitarium mainly at night.
On the second night, Hendricks asked

me to say it. do not appear to be in a
hurry to get rid of our guests. 1 feel

Hendricks stopped him. "Come

the establishment to the women. You

walking through the upper hall last
night when everybody was asleep but

ing. asked him this morning what
disturbed him, and he said the room
was SO close it was like sleeping in

dental speech, but thought he said it
with peculiar significance.
Have you ever slept in cave?' I
asked.
"'No,' he replied looking me in the
eye. Have your
do you know begin to suspect that
this man is not an officer. Wait, Ihear

Hendricks waited some time and no
fresh signal coming, he went to bed.
1t was half-past twelve. He slept
soundly until four o'clock, when he
got up, washed himself and went into
Jennings apartment to wake him and
was surprised to see him sitting up in
a rocker smoking a pipe, in his shirt
sleeves.
"Hallo," he said, Couldn't you
sleep?"
NO" replied Fenning. eff 1 don't
get some sunshine, 1 shall have per-
manent insomnia"
give me one of your cigars. 1 have
ordered Sam to have breakfast at FIVE
Well get some coffee and GO down to
the Bayou house and take a dash out

to talk to you"
When he had lit his cigar he sat
down and said:
fleming, you're the coolest man I've
got. Let me have your bottom
thought"
I'm afraid of Mrs. Hendricks" said
Fenning, land the idea of being sealed
up here makes me FESTIVE"
Thanks for your frankness," replied
Hendricks. Dismiss the idea of
treachery. AS to the sealing up, it is
impossible. Come and get some strong
coffee into you and then we'll try to get
some sunshine. 1 don't intend you
shall be sealed up"
Half an hour later a car was ready
and they got aboard to go to the west
ern entrance. The ride was peculiar
ly ghostly one at this hour. Here and
there an incandescent burner lit up the
immediate spaces and left great CULTS
black and foreboding. No one was
astir and it was half hours ride

arrived at the bayou shaft, the sleepy

A Curious Collection.

A well known Leeds banker pos
sesses an immense number of different
bank notes issued at various times by
banks that have come to grievous
smash and which have involved thou
sands of persons in their ruin. Not
alone are bank notes included in this
curious collection of relics of broken
banks. which must start world of
painful reflections in a commercial
community, but also bonds relating to
celebrated undertakings which have
proved sources of immense loss to
spectators. these including scrip of
the South sea bubbles, of many of the
schemes of Hudson, the railway king,
and of the Tichborne bond enterprise.
So far as the bank notes are concerned,
it is astonishing to see what large
number of establishments they refer
to, and the whole collection represents
the names of schemes which have
drained the investing public of hun
dreds of millions sterling. The col
lector relates that on several occasions
visitors who have seen the collection
have, on coming to some particular
note, burst into tears, Tor they have
been directly connected with the ruin
wrought by the crash indicated by
that same note.-Cornhill Magazine.

inquired if his telegram had been re-
ceived.
AYE, aye, sir" came a CHEEKY voice,
as if from another world.
"Are the horses ready?"
"Aye, aye, sir"
The moment they stepped from the
lift, they smelt the oxygen and saw the
sunlight, and Fenning, with sudden
effusiveness, cried out: THANK God"
He then noticed that Hendricks had
his powerful field glass over his shout
der.
"a dash of action with danger in 1t
will revive your spirits" Hendricks
said. We'll make reconnaissance.
I'm going to take the captain with us.
He's been here over night"
A few minutes later they found four
horses, the best the establishment fur
nished, in waiting, and the captain

turned up, blinking and growing, but
sober. The fourth man of the party
was a Tennesseean, whom Hendricks
called Ben-a long, lank, determined
mountaineer, with a Ratchet face and
tangled sand-colored hair. He had a
carbine slung across his shoulder, and
he was holding an extra horse with a
side-saddle and basket strapped up
on it.
Hendricks looked at Fenning, and
seeing his surprise, said: 81 don't
explain because l don't know myself.
Well be governed by circumstances.

No one followed the slow develop

as Hendricks. He had the papers for
warded to him under various addresses
by Fenning, but it was not till the
expiration of the year and half that
he closed the Memphis Office and called
in Fenning and Miss Laport, between
whom appears to have grown up very
strong attachment. Hendricks was too
shrewd not to know that the Memphis
branch was now the most dangerous
outpost. Indeed Fenning had warned

CRASHED INTO
THE BREAKER
Queer Accident at the Kelley Bun
Breaker this Morning.
CAR RUNS ON TWO TRACKS
A Wreck Train Crew Investigates the
Matter, But Fails to Reach a Con-
cluSiOn as to the Cause.

While Watchmen Seifert was making
his lonely rounds through the big black
Kelley Run breaker at three o'clock this
morning he was suddenly startled by
heavy crash, followed by the splintering
of wood down near the small coal chutes.
Arriving on the scene a moment after,
he saw big box car standing across the
track, one end imbedded in the chute
platform, and half a dozen railroaders
moving about swearing and wonder
ing how in Halifax it happened
And chat is what the officials were
wondering in their investigation this
morning. A brakeman who was riding
the car got Off without injury.
The wrecked car, B. r. & p, No. 272O
loaded with ice, was on the end of a train
that was being pushed toward the Read.
ing freight yard. AS it struck the switch
at the colliery, the first truck took the
colliery track, while the other wheels and
the rest of the train dashed over on to the
main track for which the switch was set
The adventurous car soon found out
that running on two tracks was about as
difficult as the much tried experiment of
passing another train on the same track,
and after plowing up the road bed, and
smashing in its both ends, in contact with
other cars, brought mp against the
breaker, where it remained until removed
by the wreckers this morning
The switch points lay too close to the
rail to have tripped the first wheels and
the theory that brakeman had thrown
the switch after the first truck had passed
over was dissipated by an official who
stated that no one was at the switch, and
so the accident goes down among the
many that happen on railroads without
an apparent cause.
