 The court Is composed of Lieutenant John T. Yeatman. Sergeant Fred B. Keiso, Sergeant Lapseley, Privates Pe- guese and Smith. Second Lieutenant Robert L. Gregory is judge advocate.
 The court got together about o'clock and the men in charge looked like real soldiers in their bright uniforms. As they lined up alongside a heavy table and the prisoners were ushered In, pale and trembling, the days of Dreyfus and schley were vividiy recalled.

 One man whom she did not know and who would not tell his name Is reported to have lost s90 in cash in the same man ner as did Miss Johnson.
 'In some cases it Is said he did hypno- tize victims that money or valuables were secured and not missed until after the persons had left his place. Then they could not account for their Iosses."

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 bird outside.
Carefully lifting the edge of the tent,
he peered outside.

the tent flap to provide a retreat then
with stealthy hand he removed the
weapons from the belts Of the sleepers
and stole outside with them.
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?"
Eyes" replied Turner, I'm goin' ter

But Avery caught sight Of the weap-

the better for it. When they had fin

hand on the butt of his own weapon.
Before Turner had time TO reply
Hank Bowers and Obed Rider sprang
from behind neigh boring 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
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 un-
tremendously into one Of the. tents and
roughly ordered to stay there.
To attempt o describe the feelings Of
the prisoners would be n hard task.
They were like men stunned The
whole thing had been accomplished so
suddenly that they could hard Y realize
ii was not some fantastic dream.
Bowers and Turner wasted no time
After satisfying themselves that the
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
10 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 supply Of food
and n tent.
Realizing the uselessness of words,
our friends watched these prepare
tons in dismay. They well knew that
the thieves could reach Dyea and
take a steamer before their crime was
known, for without horses pursuit
WOulu De nOpeless.
When he had packed all he desired to
carry, Hank Bowers walked up TO his
prisoners and sneered:
eyer had the fust laff on me, but it's
my turn now, an Irather guess I've got
Their best end of it, hey?"
Seeing that they scorned to reply, he
went on:
We're off to Dyea. BY Their time yer
git thar we'll be some ways off on Their

I'll leave yer plenty ter last yer Yer

Yer won't need eny guns. This trail is

Avery could restrain himself no

Spouse as Bowers turned away, "but

Come on, boys, let's strike out for Dyea.

The three men mounted their stolen
horses without further delay and hur-
ried away, leading the animals on
whose backs were the fortunes of our
friends.
Five. minutes later they had disap-
peared in the direction of Dyea. and the
despoiled men were being freed by
Clara Avery and a sharp knife.
