him. You're all right. Get a grip on

It required several minutes for the
truth to penetrate Braydon's mind. At
last he staggered to his feet, Pinney
supporting him with one arm.
Jack, is it you?" he gasped. "Well,
this is awful. / never lost my nerve

for some unspeakable vengeance, and
that he would never reach the coast
alive. He had heard of the ruscs by
which prisoners are shown an appar-
ent chance to escape, and are shot down
ut the first step. No such tricks should
be played upon him, he told himself;
and as Il matter of fact, he stuck closer
than a brother to his escort during the
Journey to the coast.
AT last he found himself on the deck
of a steam vessel that was bound for
New York. The ring was still in the
heel of his shoe. His escort bade him
a courteous farewell. and went over the
side into a waiting boat. Pinney was
utterly dazed. Was it possible that
Spanish superstition went so far that
even the highest officials welcomed the
chance to get the Inflated ring out Of
the country? At any rate, he had it;
and his fortune was made.
He had been Informed that his pas
sage to America had been paid.and that
a stateroom had been assigned to him.
Like Il man in a dream, he went below,
and in his stateroom, by the light that
came through the open port, he gazed
once more upon the burning jewels of
the ring.
Some one shook the door. Pinney
hastily thrust the ring into his pocket,
and responded to the summons. To
his great surprise Braydon entered. He
had supposed that the man was dead.
Every question that he had asked
about Braydon had been answered eva
sively, yet in such a way as to leave
the impression that his fate had over
taken him.
'Oh, I'm no ghost" was Braydon's
greeting. "That bullet went through
my hat. and trimmed my hair little,
but it was fear that knocked me over

Il mean the ring" whispered Pinney.

Pinney took it from his pocket. Bray

throw it through the porthole; but the

"Oh, nonsense, Pinney," said Bray
don wearily. I'm on to the whole busi-

down her told me everything. That
ring is bogus. Tn real ring has gone
into the bottomless treasury of Spain
long ago. They've had a fake ring on

and it's been stolen over and over again.
That doesn't make any difference. They

and every time one is taken, they hang
up another. There was one on the
neck of the statue, when l passed it

dom has been on TO the fact that that
ring wasn't worth five cents, ever since
the day after it was first hung up. Only
the ignorant and superstitious believe
in it, and the authorities work the trick
to please them"
1t took Pinney long while to bring
his mindt around to this unwelcome
truth but careful tests of the supposed
jewels at last forced conviction in upon
him.
He had some hope that the excellence
| of the imitation might make the trinket
worth something as Il basis for n conf
dence game, but unfortunately he was

Spain as soon as his ship reached New
York, and the, ring was taken from

The encounter was so deadly close
that it did not permit of fight. TO turn
was to feel a bullet in his back. To sur
render meant confession and prison.
1t is the peculiar temptation of the ex-
convict that the idea of prison is al
ways in his mind. Though he may be
no more prone to- violence than the best
of men. he is driven to it by the press
ing fear of the cell, the unrequitted toll,
the meagre fare, the loneliness of prison
life.
Therefore. daring neither to flee nor
to surrender, Jack Pinney sprang upon
the man who had risen so mysteriously
in his path. He had no hope, for the
enormous size Of his opponent and the
certainty that he was armed. made sue
cessful attack almost impossible. How
great then was Pinney's surprise

Jack Pinney, the second story bur-
glar, like his famous companion
Gleason. has seen almost all parts Of
the world. Travel had enriched his vo-
cabulary to such an extent that Few
men could have followed with COM
plete understanding the tale that he
told. 1t was embellished with the cant
of criminals in hundred cities scat
tered over the globe; so that even New
comb the student of unrghteousness,
was frequently obliged to ask for Il
translation of some word or phrase.
1t will be impracticable, therefore to
reproduce the story literally in the
present narration.
1t appeared that on account of some
infraction of the law, Pinney was
obliged to quit his native land very
suddenly and with all possible secrecy.

Three Men Rob the Cannon Ball EX-
press on the Frisco Road.
THE SAFE CRACKED OPEN.

Be considerable, but officials Are
Ret1cent-R Reward offered foe
tho RObbera' Arrest.

LEBANON, Mo-, April 1.-The east
bound cannon ball train, No 6, on the
ST. Louis & San Francisco railroad,
was held up three miles cast of here at
1:O5 o'clock this morning by three
masked men, and the safe blown open
and robbed. The robbers boarded the
train at this place and, after reaching
the scene of the robbery. held up the
engineer and fireman and stopped the
train and, with the engineer in front
of them, marched to the express car.
The messenger refusing to open
the door, it was blown open with dyna-
mite and the safe cracked and its con-
tents removed. Several packages Of
valuable papers were found this morn
ing beside the track with some money
which had been overlooked in the hur-
ry of departure. Tho passengers were
not molested. The engine was de-
tached and run by the robbers to
Sleeper, where IL was abandoned. A
brakeman hurried back to the city and
started Sheriff Jones and posse on
the track Of the robbers.
Three strangers, who are supposed
to be the robbers, were seen drinking
in one Of the saloons here at ten o'clock
last night. and were seen near the
depot by Night Operator Martin only
few minutes before the cannon
ball" arrived. The brakeman gave a
fair description of the men to the
officers in pursuit, and the railway Of
acials are confident they will be
speedily apprehended.
While the amount of money secured
by the robbers is known to have been
considerable, the local express officials
will not place an estimate on it. The
Wells-Fargo Express Co. offers $500 re-
ward for the arrest Of the robbers and
furnishes the following descriptions:
First-A large man, sandy, long, droop-
ing m muStache, black overcoat, black
slouch hat and wore belt with pistols
Second-A very small man, smooth
face, dark hair, black oVercoat, black
slouch hat. Third-AIedium height
man, heavy built, very dark complex
ioned; heavy five days growth of
beard on face; dark and stubby mus
tache; had ON broad band black SLOUGH
hat, no oVercoat, brown sack cutaway
coat.
The country is aroused and pursuit
is active and it is thought the rob bers
cannot escape.

New YORK, April l. - Robert Il.
Kneebs was sentenced last January to
nine months in Jail and finod 1000
marks for the alleged ringing" Of the
American mare Bethel on German
tracks under the name Of Nellie
Kneebs, and last Friday cablegram
from Leipsic said that the imperial
court had quashed the conviction and
ordered kueebs released from jail. A
later cablegram, however, says that
the court has ordered the case retired
to the lower court and that 81 Ameri-
can witnesses will be summoned and
the mare will be brought before that
court. Rail, it is added, was again
offered and refused.
The conflicting reports have revived
interest in the case, as opinion has
always been divided as to his guilt
Many, however, received the news of
his conviction with great satisfaction,
and it was thought that it would serve
as a notice to turf tricksters that their
day of successful operations were
about over. The same kind of fraud
has been frequently perpetrated on the
American tracks, and many states have
passed laws making it felony.
