after a speaking pause, in which we all

On Mr.. Camps entrance he looked
as much surprised as we had all done a

Il am Mr. Gordon.

mo" answered my special is
the next car, and I was merely enjoy
ing cigar here. "
abr said Mr.. Camp "Then I
won't interrupt your smoke, and will
only relieve you of those letters of
mine.
1 took good pull at my cigar and
blew the smoke out in cloud slowly
TO gain time. Il don't think / follow

why, this is infamousr' Mr.. Camp
cried. What use will those letters be

said
1T shall cost you your position if
you do, Mr.. Camp threatened.
As I've already said, 1 haven't good
temper, and when he told me that /
couldn't help retorting:
That's quite on par with most G.
S. methods. ~
''I'm not speaking for the G. s.,
young man" said Mr. Camp. 81 speak
as a director of the Kansas and Arizona.
What is more, will have those letters
inside of "a hours"
He made an angry exit. and said to
Fred: Il wish you would stroll about
and spy out the proceedings of the enc

ington, and if there's any chance Of the
postmaster general revoking his order 1
must go back to Flagstaff ON No. this
afternoon.
He shan't do anything that don't
know about till he goes to bed" Fred
promised But how the deuce did he
know that you had those letters?''
That was just what we were all puz-
cling over, for only the occupants of No

in position to let Mr. Camp hear of
that fact.
AS Fred made his exit he said,
Don't tell Madge that there-is q new
complication, for the dear girl has had

Miss Cullen not rejoining us, and
Lord Rallies presently doing so, went
to my own car, for he and l were not
good furniture for the same room. Be-

train pulled out.
