CHAPTER III.

To Hilgerd, starting out i'm the lighted
space, the whole thing seems unreal, and
of the nature OF play. Buoyed up by
strong excitement, he Is ready for any
thing yet knowing not what is TO come.
Easily he conjectures up fantastic forms
lowering over the PROSTATE bodies, and
fancies he hears them moan. One-two
minutes pass in painful suspense, then
an unusual noise comes from the platform
outside, and the back door is quickly
opened with a bang. A heavy step Is
heard close by the partition, and new
actor appeared on the scene IN the shape
OF a tall, powerfully built man. He
stopped right in front of Hilgerd, and
looked sharply around. His glances
swept the floor, then rested on the open
safe. With few swift strides he was
before IL. He was heavy bearded, and
around his waist hung a leather belt sup
porting holsters, from the tops of which
Ioomed threateningly the handles OF pair
OF deadly Colts. His motions were cat
like, swift and graceful. With deft fingers
he transferred the money packages from
the safe 10 huge pocket in the side of
his coat.
Again the nauseous odor came TO Hill
gerd, yas large panel slid down in the
south side of the partition. Beside Hill

stood like statue. Then Hilgerd caught

There was q deafening crash-another

thickly, hut through II We aaw Whar-
toms 1.-THE shape bounding toward the
door, and two more reports rang out In
quick succession.
Sanders was standing up uninjurcd, the
same bewildered look upon his face.
Clearly, the pace was too swift for his
sluggish 4 nature. 1t was all over in a
moment, and then Wharton came in,
sitting an exclamation of disgust.
"Reddy Simms," he exclaimed, "a bad
man but worse shot. The gang prob
ably forgot something and he came back
for 1t, hence the little surprise. / need
not ask II you were hurt, for there Is one
bullet in that log and the other, with
which had passing acquaintance, you
will find about three feet to the right,
just grazing that nail. "
"But the other shot, Phil" Hilgerd
cried. "Surely 1 heard three. And
what is that bright red streak doing on
your hand?"
"The second was mine" answered
Wharton. briefly. "It's pity it went
wild. He is badly winged at any rate,
for he dropped his gun just outside the
door, and 1t bears evidence of disabled
owner. i heard him leap on his horse
but could see nothing. Was that your

upon him.

II is our only way out of this rat hole,

As they rushed down to the landing,
the sound of splashing oars struck dis

the thick brushes they arrived Just in

felt the blood trickling down his arm,
which the bullet grazed.
"We are in for it now, Paul" cried
Wharton. "There Is only one way out of

trail those devils took; comep' He darted
swiftly toward the cabin and Hilgerd
followed, stumbling blindly along the
uneven path.

gerd Wharton crouched like panther
ready to spring. The robber had emptied
the safe and was casting last furtive,
triumphant glance around them. Now
he was almost within reach, and another
step brought him opposite the open pane.
For one fieeting instant Hilgerd saw him
turn as in surprise Swiftly as the
lightning's stroke Wharton's arm shot
out. The robbers mead crashed
against the opposite side of the-eaf and
down he dropped, helpless mass of
quivering flesh. The door was thrown
open and the guard rushed out Hilgerd
started to follow, but was motioned
back.

man was quickly handcuffed, then half

close air OF the closet. sis he done for,

and stepped around to the back door of

and the panel and door were again closed.
Wharton stepped and took a knee ling
position In front of the safe. Bangi

that was startling. Wharton motioned
with his arm, keeping his face to the
front A shadow passed the curtain and
Hilgerd scanned the newcomer closely.
He was not so tall as his companion, and
moved with gliding, shufiling step. His
shoulders were slightly bent, but their
breadth indicated enormous strength. As
he stepped into the full glare of the
lamps something glistened in his right
hand. and Hilgerd could scarcely re-
press . cry of warning. Wharton worked
industriously at something in the safe.
The man took another step or two, then,

Its immediate use, transferred the wea-

"We will take Mr.. Sanders with us,

Good night He picked up a lantern
and HIlgerd followed him out on the
platform.
"We now change cars, Phii.v said
Wharton. II know il Is not customary TO
perform this feat while flying through
space, YET the sensation must be novel"
They were whirling along at a clipping
pace, the swinging motion of the car
making it difficult TO stand erect. The
rails OF the other track slipped past like

shouted. Hilgerd went back into the
car, picked IL up and threw the strap
over his shoulder. II seemed TO him like

shut his jaws firmly, dropped on all fours

viciously. He could not see and nothing
could be heard above the changing roar
of the noisy cars. The wind cut past
him wildly; smoke rushed INTO his nose,
and burning spark stung him sharply
on the cheek. Inch by inch he made his
way, then a strong arm swung him
safely over. He looked up and saw the
sheriff's burly form paving along 80 like
a great bear that, in spite OF the strange
ness of il all, he could not repress a
smile. Mharton swung the bridge back
into its place, and quickly they dropped
behind. The express car shot away, then
the lights from the coaches danced by,
the sleepy occupants all unconscious OF
the unseen drama OF the night. With
final roar the heavy sleepers whizzed out
of sight, and the adventurous trio sat
speechless in silence as deep as the
tomb.

he, this tight rope business Is dread

tones until the boat, passing through the
narrow channel, crunched upon a sandy
shore. They climbed noiselessly out.
Some distance through the thick under
growth, Hilgerd caught the first glim-
mer OF light. Towards this Wharton
slipped of silently, while the Others re-
manned, sitting on the side OF the boat.

moved forward cautiously. The door was

reached. With sweep of his arm Whar-

inside. The man turned with a startled

Professor hesitated, glancing from Whar-

OF the big 45-Colt, then back again.
There was no mistaking the signs; a
chance was out of the question, and up
went his hands.
"Thank you," said Wharton sweetly.

from his surprise, and was looking won

The cabin had board floor, and there
was a Cheerful wood fire burning upon the
hearth. A rough table, four chairs, some
bunks in corner, looking glass, and
some shelves completed the furnishings.
" ithout losing any time Wharton stepped
20 the back part of the room, felt carefully
over the logs, and threw back small
panel, disclosing an opening from which
ne drew forth rusty tin box.
''Do you remember the Coopertown

"Why, didn't we" begged Hilgerd.
"No, indeed y exclaimed Wharton;
"You don't catch the old gentleman
risking his precious hide in the execution
OF his little scheme You can wager he Is
safe at home, and that is where we will
look for him." They moved rapidly for
some time in silence. The car stopped at
the first trestle over the river, and Whar-
ton jumped out and walked toward the
deep shadows at the edge of the thick
timber. In few minutes they saw him
coming back.
