The Indian sat down IN his chair.
He had grown calmer, and now q sort

There is not another man alive that

: You would have to Blast away this
j whole hill of stone to get at him, and
then you'd not find him alive. The

was dying of starvation. Huh! Gle

vivor of the old gang of counterfeiters,
and leased the place for that reason"
Hendricks proposed to Lampkin to
go with him downstairs.
''Get your gun ready" he said. "He
about here" i. =
Il think he has skipped" said Den
ham. Il saw fellow in foreign clothes
run out of the side door. Twas afraid 1t
was your man giving you the slip, SO
came in to see about it, and happened to
get here in time"
"Oh, he's gone," said Kola, grimly.
"He is a coward. He knew what I was
going to do in regard to the dead-fall
and was too chicken-h hearted to face it,"
'..Kola," said Hendricks, 1T can do you
no possible good to keep back informa-
ton in regard to Gielow's where
abouts."
"You will never know that from me-"
answered the Indian.
Hendricks face fell. He signaled DR..
Lampkin to follow and led the way
downstairs.
In the basement they found nothing
Of note except trunk bearing the in
itials of Weldon Caruthers.
'That's what he brought the body in"
said Hendricks.
In the big cellars below, they found,
directly under the trap Kola had ar
ranged, the yawning opening of deep
pit -,
IAN awful hole," said Hendricks, as
he turned away. He pointed to some
large steel vessels and two large cop
per cylinders such -s are used for max
ing lime light in the theaters. .. -.
That's where he cremated the body
section by section" he said. 'He
thought, as most murderers do, that
his secret was we'll guarded"
They searched through all the rooms
of the cellar, and then Hendricks
stopped.
I'VE are losing time," he grunted, in
disappointment. II believe Kola told
the truth about his being the only one
who knows the secret of Gielow's hid
ing-place. I am also sure that Gielow
is somewhere under ground. We have
seen one cavern, and it is not unlikely
that there are others. Ithas long been
believed that they are under this hill.
Can't you think of some plan to wiring
the truth from that imp?"
They had paused before the door of
little room where dim light shone
over the transom. Lampkin tried the
latch, and, finding the door unlocked,
he pushed it open. The room had
shelves on all three of it's walls, and these
shelves were we'll filled with all sorts of
bottles.

The doctor took down bottle and
read the label and then uncorked it and
applied it to his nose. .-q~. &c.,.
