EIGrITu DAY

STRONG HEARTS AND WILLING HANDS.
1t would be difficult to say who We're
the moro surprised, Chestcr's friends
or his enemies, when he was missed on
that Monday morning. Dallon was
clearly uneasy. He was very ugly"
and bcrated and abused every one un
mcrcifully. Every foot Of The cave
was searched, and scouting parties
were sent out along Bone culch as far
as the railroad spur without any trace
of the fugitive being discovered. The
gang dared not show themselves out
side the gulch, for by this time Dalton
knew that search parties would be pa
trolling the railroad track in quest of
the lost cars.
Draper and his party knew not what
TO think. The CONSERVATION of the ban
dts was SO evidently genuine that no
suspicion of foul play was possible.
They were forced to the same conclu-
sion-that Chester had escaped, but
how? None OF them dreamed Of the
water course as Il possible means of OK
it. So after a deal OF bad language on

hands, captors and captured, settled
down to wait for Mondays sunset, be-
fore which hour it was futile to expect
Filley's return with the money.
Slowly the long hours slipped away
In the semidarkness of the cavern
The ladies bore up well under the cir
cumstances, but the ordeal was a try
ing one, and Mrs. Hurst declared she
should die if she had to spend another
night there. Uncle John, as may be
imagined, had his hands full
Madge was perhaps the hardest to
manage. She pestered him with ques-
tionS she imagined all sorts of horrors,
she begged Dallon to tell her the truth
and not to keep her in suspense" to
which appeal that worthy replied that
he hoped the blank-blank- blank idiot
had broken his neck" whereupon
Madge retorted with flashing eyes that
tie aforesaid Dallon was "a callous
brute" and then burst into tears.
The last rays of daylight faded from
the patch Of sky visible from the
mouth of the cave, and still no tidings
of the messengers. Nine, 10, II. ~
o'clock, and yet no news!
Dallon was getting furious. For the
tenth time he put John Draper through
rude cross examination as to the pos

was still wet and glistening with the
high water mark caused by the cloud
burst of a few hours before. What
next to do Ives did not know. He was
a stranger to the country and totally
ignorant of the lay of the land. To
proceed in the darkness seemed well
nigh impossible, yet to wait for morn
ing would be a pitiful waste Of time.
He had no very exalted idea of Filley's
coed faith nor of that of the Dallon

or. If Fillcy bunglcd in any way, he
dreaded to think of the consequences
to those dear ones left in the clutches
of as cold bluOdcd Il set Of wretchcS as
ever drew trigger or bestrode stolen
horsetlesh. Besides, he shrcwdly sus-
pected that Eilley would take good
care to look after No. and if he failed
10 2ct the money might content himself
with keeping out of personal danger
and perhaps giving an alarm without
heed to the fate of Draper and his
party.
All these reflections flew through
Chestcr's brain as he sat shiveI4ng and
squeezing the water out Of his clothes
OH the wet bowldcr. Casting his eyes
around the horizon, he noticed a white
glare off to the north, showing clearly
in that marYclUuSly pure atmosphere.
That, he thought, musL be the lights Of
Denver and in that direction would
help most likely be found. So, weary
and cold, with cAattcriu@ toctl and
aching in every joint, lie set out along
the bank of the little stream, stumbling
and ut times failing over the oDstruc-
tons in the way. But after a cou-
pie of hours Of this sort of tramping
he was completely beaten. His thin
city shoes were worn to ShrcdS, and
every step was acute torture. AS the
first pale streaks Of lemon colored glow
appeared in the east he sank by the
way, his back against a rock and pant
ing from exhaustion. He intended on
" to rest for Il few moments, but IA
tigue gained the upper hand, and he
soon sank into an uneasy sleep, from
which he was awakened by lusty
shouts and the cracking of a whip.

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first

There was no telling to what lengths
the villains would proceed if once they
became convinced that their plans had
miScarried, and what was one man
against so many!
So in order to stave off the evil mo-
ment Draper professed to believe that
the delay was not unreasonable and
expressed it as his firm conviction that
Eillcy and the money would turn up
before morning. Yet in his own mind
he feared that something had gone
wrong. But he threw out mental an
