troyd, "but do know that you're go- ing to pike out of camp as quick as horse can carry you. Luck has fa- vored you so far, but you're so ire sponsible you're likely to spoil every- thing. A few words from you about Nate Darrel and the game will, be a losing proposition for both of us. That blow-up on the War Eagle trail was the best thing that ever happened for us If you yield to any of your mad eccentricities now there's no tell ing what harm you may do"
 This touched at vital point of the Sturgis matter. Darrel longed to learn more, but knew he could not question without arousing suspicion. He made no answer. :.
 What have you done with that re- volver?"
 Darrel took the ebony-handled weapon from his pocket.
 ~"Give it to me-" said Murgatroyd, starting up and snatching it roughly. Didn't you have one of your own? You played hell using this that night"
 Fiercely Murgatroyd pulled down the cylinder and examined the cartridges.
 "One empty she'll he muttered, drowning blackly; *'slugs in the other five shells and the slugs marked" He stamped his foot in 8 fury. How in the devils name did those marks come there? Did you do it, you?" He hurled the question at Darrel, who re- ceived it silently. 'But you couldn't have done that, you'd have had no ob- ject in doing it. It must have been Darrel. when he sat in that office, there, writing his note that afternoon I was away in the hills. Much goed that evidence will do Darrel now"
 A steel letter opener-either a repli- ca of the one Darrel had used Tn the inner office when he marked the bull lets, or else the same--lay on the clerks desk near the lighted lamp. It was sharp and might prove of use in an emergency. Darrel leaned one arm on the desk close to the instrumen, and bowed his head on his lifted hand
 In dlsarnling himself by yielding uL the weapon he believed he had effect lively disarmed any doubts of Mur- gatroyd's, present or to come: He wal eager to know more of this mans rela- tions with McCloud y | .g1#E
 ''In put this revolver in the vault for now" said Murgatroyd, "and when l have seen you safe out of town I'll put six fresh cartridges in the cylin- der'
 Then, while he worked at the knob of the combination. he dropped the weapon into his pocket. Tn few mo- ments he pulled open the vault door, made as though he would step inside but halted and whirled around to see what his companion was doing.
 Darrel had not changed his position and still had his elbow on the desk and his chin in his hand. spar

Is ing only the injury suffered at the hands of one whom he had believed to be his friend. Darrel was calmer, but none the less determined.
 Chairs were tipped over, the desk and lamp barely escaped, and then, in a frenzy of brute force, they fell against the mineral cabinet, dropping to the floor with the cabinet on top of them.
 Darrel was no match for his antag- onist in such rough work and he was underneath. A feeling flashed through him that he had failed, and that the victory would be Murgatroyds but the block of galena, tipping with the cabi- net, struck the stronger man on the back of the head and crashed to the floor.
 Murgatroyd's fingers relaxed; with stided groan he strengthened out and lay like one dead. Excitfsl and breath less, Darrel drew himself out from un- der the cabinet and rose to his feet
 Murgatroyd was at his mercy and what should he do with him? As he debated the questic~ he heard a quick tread of feet in the hall below.
 Acting on a quick impulse, he flew to the vault, pulled open the inner doors, dragged the unconscious Murga- troyd inside and had closed him in and turned off the combination when the marshal burst open the hall door and flung into the room, followed by the thick-set man. 's7
 Darrel, leaning against the wall, eyed the newcomers calmly.

CHAPTER xv.
DARREL'S FIGHT WITH MURGA-

TRoYD
 l Darrel was a man of quick wit. 'IFollowing the cards whets mans fac- Mlties and makes them keen and alert
 Tn second his mind had explored the depths of Murgatroyd's singular action and had evolved a startling conclusion. McCloud was known to be a stranger in that part of the coun- try, yet he had had Murgatroyd's .e- TolVer and Murgatroyd, in calling Oar rel by the assumed name, showed that he was acquainted with the easterner. The conjecture which swept over Darrel with the force of supreme con Yiction was this: Murgatroyd was the man whose uncanny powers had worked the great i'll to Junius Me Cloud
 So Darrel followed in the track of his enemy. A crisis was at hand and their differences were soon to be set tied.
 Not once did Murgatroyd turn and look back, so sure was he of his mas tery over McCIoud At any time dur ing that brief walk from HawkbilI's to the office of the gambler Darrel could have drawn that ebony-handled revolver and pressed the trigger with fatal effect.
 But such tactics were foreign to Dar- TePs nature. He would meet his ene- my face to face, with no advantage on either side.
 Before turning into the hall at Kaliper's place DarreI brushed past group of men, their heads together in earnest discussion. One was the bur- ly marshal, another was Roy Lenyard, third was the sallow-faced clerk whom Darrel had met in Murgatroyd's office and the fourth was a heavy-set. well-dressed man with a small leather case under one arm
 At a sharp word from Lenyard the quartette broke apart and directed their attention at Darrell Murgatroyd, apparently, took no notice of his clerk. nor of his three companions, but passed into the building and up the stairs to his darkened rooms.

OGDENSBURG, N. Y., May 10.-The home of Assemblyman Charles S.. Plank at Washington has been de- stroyed by fire. Mrs. Plank ran into the burning building to save some jew elry, and her escape was cut off by the flames. Her face and hands were badly burned before she reached a window.

NEW Zoe OF CONSUMPTION.

Prof Jacob started with the presump-
ton that the remedies usually employ-

the idea Of introducing indictments d.

Through numerous experiments on ami

the trachea and larynx have been made

thin rubber tube is introduced into the
lungs and the medicine is injected
through It. The whole process Lasts

efficient remedy is the well known ''tu-
