-nuu are an escaped convict-a
man of note, and worthy of better
fate," he said in bantering voice.
II would like to let you alone, but
you are a worry to certain persons.
So, for the good of society, you must
go back from whence you came"
Hendricks sighed as if the melan-
| before him.
Before you go, however," con-
tinued his tormentor, handling his
revolver carelessly, "you must do me
a favor"
II am not in position to do any
one a favor" replied Job, grimly con-
scious that there was little chance
of freeing himself from his bonds,
as the knots must have been the
work of sailors, they were so cum
ningly made.
''You have ,paper-a certain
agreement, which should properly be
in the hands of one James Ellison"
Job involuntarily made motion
in the direction of his breast.
"Ah, you keep it there, do you!
Very wise to carry it about with you,
for then you know that it is safe"
Job withdrew his hands and began
to drum on the table. He saw that
he had unconsciously betrayed that
he carried the paper with him. He
had never in his life been compelled
to guard a treasured possession, and
therefore did not know how to care
for such things.
II left your hands free out of po-
likeness, so that you might hand
that document over, and not COM
pei me to resort to violence, which
I abhor," said Ellison.
Hendricks did not make any mo-
tion to do so, which seemed to anger
the other, and the smile disappeared
at once from his face, to give place
to forbidding frown.
''You had BETTER" he said, and his
white teeth shone in the light of the
lamp. "My friends of the police will
be here in a moment, and there is no
reason why this simple transaction
cannot be conducted in genteel
way"
AS he said this he held out one
hand while with the other he trihed
with the shining revolver, and there
was look in his eye that showed
him not unaccustomed to the use of
weapons when it became necessary.
Job sighed, and then, with an air
of resignation thrust his hand in his
bosom, drew out the document and
then tossed it sullenly on the table.
''This is the real thing, I hope,"
said Ellison, and then as he opened
the paper and glanced over it, his
face lighted up. eyes, I know those
signatures only too well.''
He had taken the precaution to
place his pistol out of reach while
he was running his eyes over the
document. So interested was he in
it's perusal that for a second his eyes
were off the man bound in the chair.
Suddenly he felt hand pressed
against his. There was nothing ag-
gressive about the movement, and he

CHAPTER Xxx.
JUST A HANDCLASP

JUST A HANDCLASP.
Job Hendricks was so much inter.
ested in studying the face of the man
seated at the table that if he was at
all uneasy he did not betray it. Who
was this person who had evidently
set trap for him? He could not
remember under what conditions he
had seen him last. There was some
thing about his features that recalled
the strange being he had caught a
glimpse of through the window on
the day he had visited James Eli
son. But there could surely be no
connection between that ragged in
dividual and the smiling and we'll
dressed person on the other side of
the table. His thoughts ranged in
to the past, and there the face ap-
peared again younger but still the
same, and then was lost in the haze
of memory.
when you have quite done study
ing me, we can talk business" said
Ellison, pleasantly.
Hendricks only reply was to grasp
his knotted stick a little tighter in
his hand, but it was suddenly
snatched out of his grasp and at the
same time he was forced down into
a chair. Turning his head he saw
that man was standing on each side
Of him. 1t was hard to distinguish
their features smeared with lamp
black. They stood there silently like
grim spectres, evidently awaiting or
ders.
"Just take away his weapons, and
then you may Co." said Ellison.
Job struggled to his feet, and made
a violent effort to break away, but
the odds were against him, and he
was forced back in the seat, his pis-
jackknife.
"Now tie him to the chair, but
leave his arms free.''
''Anything else?' after this was
done, asked one of the men.
mo, that is all, for the present;
but expect the police here in few
minutes, so you had better, both of
you, make yourselves scarce" ~.
One of the men, the tallest,
showed his teeth in a fierce grin.
"Sure you can manage him your
se]f?" he asked.
"Why not? There is but one way
out of here, and the police will come
at my CALL" and he laid a revolver on
the table. $50 vamoose, or you two
might be gathered into the net"
Noiselessly in their bare feet they
slipped out of the room.
II suppose you wonder why I have
arranged this pleasant little surprise
party" said Ellison.
Hendricks was silent, still think
ing where he had seen this man be-
fore, but the search baff1ed him.
Ellison lit cigarette and puffed it

Timely AdmonitiOns.

The Falls Creek Herald offers this
advice to hunters:
"During the hunting season while the
woods are more or less inviting to a
goodly number of people it is we'll to
remember a number of things. You
should make it your business to always
crawl over fence wi tn the mussle of
the gun toward you. Then, should
anything catch on the trigger, the
newspaper man will have something
interesting to write about the next day.
If you see anything move in the bush
you want to fire right away. Of course
it may be another hunter, but you can
call around in the morning and explain
to his widow that you thought it was a
pheasant. She will probably think you
are bird. Always leave the hammer
of your gun up if you have anybody
with you. Fit should fall, your friend
will probably catch the ammunition in
his back before it goes far. You can
hen p ick out the shot at leisure"

blew up last Monday, killing Burton
Cobb and Lesley Ridge, of Emporium.
Jos. Gayney, also of Emporium, was
severely cut and bruised, although not
dangerously. Several weeks ago Mr..
Edgar Henry left here for Carthage, to
take charge of the plant, taking a
number of our dynamite boys with
him. We understand they will return
to Emporium. We do not know the
young men who were killed, yet we
learn young Ridge is a son of Mrs.
Geo. Clark who resides on the Russell

when the remains of the unfortunate
men will arrive in Emporium, ,::if at all.
