When he reached the Office he was
besieged with questions BY the
night clerk and the other ems
ployes, and for the time Larry
was quite hero. In about half an hour
the patrol wagon drove back on its way
to the police station and inside, securely
handcuffed, were the three burglars.
They had been completely surprised, and
had surrendered without a struggle.
When the wagon stopped in front Of
the Office Larry mounted the step and
said: '"rheres just one thing l would
like to ask you fellys; who turned ID
the call for messenger bye?"
''That must a. been me-" answered
one Of the burglars. 81 was feeling
along the wall to get to the door Of that
liberty and l ran my coat sleeve up
against little kind of crank that moved
and made a sort of clicking noise"
"That accounts for the call not coming
in full" said Larry to the night clerk.
1.-The crank only went back half way"
'And nowm me frinds," remarked Larry
to the burglars. 'me advice to you is,
don't try to rob house whin there's q
call box in the library, and Larry Dolan's
on duty" A muttered growl from the
trio was the only answer. as the wagon
drove on.
Colonel Collamore had spent the
night in the city and the
first news he had Of the attempt
to rob his house and the failure Of the
effort. was the announcement in the
morning papers. In the afternoon he
drove home and stopped at the Mutual
District office on his way out, where he
found Mr.. Fisher just coming on duty
for the night. The Colonel had some
conversation with him and then drove
on.
That evening when Larry came ON
duty he found a large square envelope
ON his table bearing the Collamore
| stamp. When he opened 1t he found a
check for $50 and the following note:
Colonel Collamore presents his COM
pliments to Mr.. Larry Dolan and begs
to apologize for the unfortunate incident
Of last summer which placed Mr.. Larry
Dolan in an embarrassing predicament
| for short time. Colonel Collamore al
so begs Mr.. Larry Dolan to accept the
enclosed as slight testimonial OF the
conspicuous services rendered by MIN
last night"
"Faith, he's apologized at last" said
Larry to the night clerk, "and av coorse

HE COULD PLAINLY HEAR THE
at the window fastener. Larry silently
climbed through the open window and
dropped noiselessly into the library.
Then he removed his shoes and stole
out into the hall, walking without noise
in his stocking feet. At the foot of the
stairway he paused, bearing voices in
the room above. The door Of the room
was evidently open, as broad bar of
light shone into the hall.
With his heart beating so loud that be
imagined he could hear 1t, Larry crept
up the stairs, clinging close to the wall
and avoiding the bannisters for fear of
making noise. He stopped on the
landing, and applying his ear close to
the open door, could plainly hear the
conversation in the room. Apparently
there were three men and they were
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of blowing
open a small safe which stood in the
room, evidently the receptacle Of the
silver and other valuables of the house.

pick the combination lock. as the noise
Of the explosion, he feared, might awaken
the servants in the rear of the mansion.
The first burglar insisted the Colonel
would not be home that night and they
might as we'll take their time to make
Il good job of it.
Having heard this much and being
satisfied of the intentions of the intru-
ders, Larry quietly descended the stairs
and returned to the library to put his
idea into execution. fIe first closed the
door leading into the hall and then
groped his way i'll the darkness of cor
ner of the room where he knew tele-
phone instrument was located. Larry
had often sat in this room waiting for the
Colonel to answer messages he had
brought from the city station and was
familiar with the apartment
He knew that this telephone had a
patented arrangement attached to the
transmitter to enable one to speak in q
lower tone of voice. BY the aid of this
instrument one could almost speak in
whisper and yet be distinctly under

the wire.
Covering the two call-bells on the tele
phone with his hand to deaden the
sound of their ringing Larry turned the
crank once and taking down the re-
ceiver listened for the reply Of the ope
rator at the Central office.
"Give me 279" said Larry, in a low
tone of voice. when he received the
CHEEKY Hello" of the girl at the centra
office.
In another moment he distinguished
the voice of the night clerk at the MI
tual District Messenger Office and til,
familiar "Wcll?' With which that person
answered all telephone calls.
"Misther Fisher, tins is Larry sale

down his little cheeks. He walked round
and round Annie in critical inspection; and
ran her from room to room, even up to
Dave Duggan's attic, to show her how I'M

TITS OLD, BUT EVER NEW
MR.. FENNER'S PLACER MA
CHINE.
which Makes it Possible to Work Where
Fall and Dump Are of Miuns Ouanti-
ty-A Description of His Machine.


miner Of Alder gulch. is moving con-
siderable ground with his rock sep
arator. While much has been said
concerning Mr.. F'enner's machine. in
vented by himself, there are proba bly,
many who know very little about the
practical workings OF the machine.
Mr.. Fenner's explanation is as follows
Commencing at my lower line,
where there was an outlet for only fine
tailings at the creek level. some man.
ner of mining was necessary in order
to be profitable, whereby the water of
the gulch could be made to hoist and
wash the gravel at the surface until
point was reached above. where u
flume of small grade would touch bed
rock and have its dump near my lower
line. For this purpose | constructed a
machine, similar to the one now used
for removing rock from the ground
sluice, with the addition of an incline
track and self-dumping cars to carry
the gravel from bedrock to the ma
chine. Using this machine, pit 100
feet up the gulch, the width of the pay
streak and to the bedrock az feet deep
was shoveled into cars, hoisted to the
machine and washed, ,and the rock piled
out OF the way, the fine gravel pas
sing off through short string OF
sluices, possessing the same advantages
for saving gold as undercurrents.
After clearing a pit as described, it
served for impounding the tailings,
which were ground-sluiced nearly half
way to bedrock, from the top of a pit
Of equal area abUve. While filling the
pit, the water from the ground sluice
passed off below through q box tail
race, with only fall sufficient to carry
clear water, and which also served as
q drain. This box tail-race was made
strong enough to resist the pressure of
the everything wet gravel, which was
considerable, while ground-sluicing
1t was laid to the head of each pit be-
fore filling, and the water let into it by
shaft, or monument, which was built
up as filling progressed, 90 as to keep
the sand and gravel from entering the
tail-race. After stripping in this man
ner, the machine was moved up on the
filled ground, and the remainder of the
gravel shoveled into cars and hoisted
as before, when the process of filling
by ground-sluicing the surface from an
other pit was repeated.
A 12-foot overshot water-wheel, driv-
en- by 80 miners inches of water, gave
the power to hoist the gravel from bed
rock, and to carry the washed rock
from the machine back on the worked
ground; the same water which furnished
power for hoisting being turned on to
the sluices between each carload to
wash the gravel. Working by this
method for several years, Ave men lone
to tend machine and four to shoveU
removed and washed II, 144 cubic yards
Of gravel each mining season, 1856 days
being the average season.
