four men were securely fastened they
began at once to pack the gold on three
of the horses. In response to an order
from Bowers, Obed Rider disappeared
in the woods, but soon returned with
Tom and the second mate, their feet
having been released and the gags
taken from their faces.
Bidding Rider stand guard over the
party. Bowers gave his whole attention
to his own work, and in half an hour
the gold was strapped on. the backs of
three horses, three more were saddled
for the robbers. while, the remaining
pair was used to carry a supply of food
and tent.
Realizing the uselessness of words,
our friends watched these prepare
tions in dismay. They well knew that
the thieves could reach Dyea and
take steamer before their crime was
known, for without horses pursuit
would be hopeless.
When he had packed all he desired TO
carry. Hank Bowers walked up to his
prisoners and sneered:

Tarbox's first act was TO spring to his
feet, exclaiming:

LEAVING GERMANY.

There were 80 emigrants for every
thousand persons in Germany last
year, against 43 in 1897 and 232 in 1891.
Bremen and Hamburg furnished most
of these.
Emigrants leaving Germany have
fallen off in the last few years and the
number is steadily decreasing. In 1898
there were only 20,s60 who left the fa-
therland, which is the least since the
existence of the empire.
Last year the 10000 and more who
left Germany divided when it came to
settling in new lands. The United
States got 1922 of the seekers for
new fortunes; other parts of America.

emigrants from Germany; in 1857
there were 104. $50; in 1891, 5000; in

When the pipes were empty he ac-
eepted Tarbox's offer and was soon APP
parently asleep, an example which was
followed by all but Taylor, who took
the first watch.
He was relieved by Tarbox, who in
turn aroused Avery, but the night
passed off without incident until dawn.
Tarbox and Taylor were sound asleep
in the tent with the stranger, who now
raised himself quietly on his elbow and
listened.
The two men were breathing heavily,
and mingled with their respirations
came the twittering of a bird outside
Carefully lifting the edge of the tent,
he peered outside.
Yes, daylight was coming. First
came little motion of the air which
had been still before. Then from a
bush near by was heard the chirp of
a bird. The outlines of the forest be-
gan to be distinguishable where masses
had been.
1t was time to act. First he rolled up
the tent flap to provide retreat, then
with stealthy hand he removed the

just then a thin red streak appeared
in the sky, and Avery, who had been
leaning against tree near by, came
toward him, saying:
'You are up early?"
Yes replied Turner, ''I'm goin' ter

But Avery caught sight of the weap-
ons in his hands and his suspicious were
at once aroused.
what are you doing with those re-
volvers?" he demanded, stepping to-
ward the other quickly and laying his
hand en- the butt of his own weapon.
Before Turner had time to reply
Hank Bowers and Obed Rider sprang
from behind a neighboring tree with a
weapon in each hand. The former
shouted:
Hands up!"
Avery obeyed instantly and Rider at
once disarmed him.
Turner sprang to the tent occupied
by the capitalist and before the latter
was fairly awake he was disarmed and
helpless.
The first shout had awakened Tarbox
and Taylor. but without weapons they
could make no resistance, and in less
than two minutes from the first sound
the four men were seated on the
ground, their feet secured with a rope,
while Clara Avery was bundled I'M

roughly ordered to stay there.
To attempt to describe the feelings of
