hint was dropped that it would be wise to
abandon the idea of procuring the cap
tive's return unframed without paying the
sum asked. Mr.. Porter told the detectives
that he would pay the money; but the pro-
posed meeting was set for the third night
after the abduction; the captors We're in
no hurry, they wrote. The crime was clear
ly the work of daring men, and had been
carefully planned with view to quicken
ing the anxiety of the family of the stolen
boy. And twentyfour hours passed.
This Is queer game" said Raridan,
on the second evening, as he and John
discussed the subject again in Johns room
at the club. Il don't just make it out.
If the money was all these fellows wanted,
they could make a quick touch of 1T. Mr..
Porter's crazy to pay any sum. But they
seem to want to prolong the agony"
THAT looks queer" said Saxton. There
may be something back of it;~but Porter
hasn't any enemies who would try this
kind of thing. There are business men here
who would like to do him up in trade, but
this is little out of the usual channels
Saxton got up and walked the floor.
Look here Wary, did you ever know
a one-eyed man?'
I'm afraid not, except the traditional
Cyclops.'
ut has just occurred to me that have
seen such a man since l came to this part
of the country; but the circumstances were
peculiar. This thing is queerer than ever as
think of It,"
"Well?"
|. 1T was BACK at the POlndeXt6r place
when I first went there. fellow named
Snyder was in charge. He had made a
rats nest of the house, and resented the
idea of doing any work. He seemed to
think he was there to stay. Wheaton had
given him the job before l came. l remem-
Der that I asked Wheaton If it made any
difference to him what l did with the fell
low. He didn't seem to care and bounced

into his lungs and blew it out in a cloud

for year or more.
of this, and that he has made a break for
the ranch house? That must be g. good
lonesome place out there"
well, it won't take long to find out. The
thing to do is to go ourselves without say
ing word to any one"
Saxton looked at his watch

at Great River at three in the morning.

tion.'

ry 1.-The detectives are busy on what may
be real clues and this is only guess
They rose.
IT can't imagine that fellow Snyder doing
anything SO dashing as carrying off a mil
honaire's son. He didn't look to me as If
he had the nerve
"It only a chance but it's worth trying I"
In the lower hall they met Wheaton, who
was pacing up and down.
Els there any news?" he asked, with a
show Of eagerness.

Clarkson for few hours
AS the train drew out of the station Rari-
dan and Saxton left Wheaton and went to
the rear of their sleeper. which was the
last, and stood on the observation pla form
watching the receding lights of the city.
The day had been warm for the season. AS
the air quickened into life with the move
ment of the train they sat down, with a
feeling of relief on the stools which the
porter brought them. They had done all
that they could do, and there was nothing
now but to wait. The train ratified heavily
through the yards at the edge of town,
and the many lights of the city grew DIM
mer as they receded Suddenly Raridan
rose and pointed to single star that
glowed high on hill.
It's the light in the tower at the Pow
ters',' he said, bending down to Saxton,
her light!'
It's the light Of all the valley said
SaXton, rising and putting his hand on his
friends shoulder. He, too. knew the light
The train was gathering speed now; the
wheels began to Groom their melody of dis
lance; one last curve, and the star of tie
hill had been blotted out.
Its like a flower in an inaccessible place
a hillside said Raridan; and he
peated half aloud some lines of poem that
had lately haunted him:
a. Though be mad, shall not wake;
l shall not fall to common sight;
Only the god himself may take
This music out Of my blood. this glory out Of my
This INT. this rapture, this singing might,
)
When they went in Wheaton was alone
in the smoking compartment and they join
ed him to discuss their plans for the drive
to PoindeXter's place.
Wed better push right on to the ranch
house as soon as we get to Great River
said Saxton. Were due there at 3
O'Clock. We ought TO get back to take the
8 O'Clock train home in any event"
And what's going to happen If we find
the man there?' asked Raridan. We want
the boy and him. too, don't we ??
Wheaton sat with his eyes turned toward
the window, which the darkness made
OPAQUE.
IF he's cornered he'll be glad to drop
the boy and clear out. But we want 10
take him home with US, too don't We,
Wheaton," asked Saxton.
Il should think we'd better make sure of
the boy first Wheaton answered. That
would be good nights work.
The porter came to tell them that their
berths were ready.
It's hardly worth while to turn in" said
Wary, yawning. II shudder at the thought
of getting up at 8 O'Clock. But" he add
ed, IF were on the right track, this time
tomorrow night they'll probably be wei
coming us home with brass bands and the
freedom of the city. Perhaps they'll have
a public meeting at the board of trade.
Cheer up, Jim; those detectives will go out
of business if we really take the boy
home"
Wheaton smiled wearily; he die not relish
Raridan's jesting.
'.will your Imagination never rest,
growled Saxton, knocking the ashes from
his pipe.

mo. We lost our trail at Rollins said
Raridan. Have you heard anything?"
Nothing far" Wheaton replied. He
uttered the 80 far" bravely, as If he really
might be working on clues of his own. His
SpeculationS of one moment We're abandoned
the next. He was building and destroying
and rebuilding theories and plans of action.
He was strong and weak in the same
breath. He envied Raridan and Saxton
their air of determined activity. He re-
solved to join them, to steady himself by
them. He was struggling between two in
clinationS: one to show his last threatening
note from Snyder, which was buttoned in
his pocket, and boldly confess that the blow
at Porter was also an indirect blow at
himself; and on the other hand he held to
coWardly hope that the boy would yet be
recovered without his name appearing in
the matter. He was aware that all his
hopes for the future hung in the balance.
He was sure that every one would soon
know Of his connection with the kidna ping;
and yet he still tried to convince himself
that he was wholly guiltless.
He was afraid of John Saxton; Saxton. he
felt, probably knew the part he had played
in the street railway matter. 1t seemed to
him that SaXton must have told others;
probably Saxton had Evelyns certificate
put away for use when William Porter
should be restored to health; but on second
thought he was not sure of this. SaXton
might not know after ALL This went
through his mind as John and Wary stood
talking to him.
Wheaton,, said Saxton, 'do you remem-
Der that fellow Snyder who was in charge
of the PoindeXter place when 1 came here?"
'What-oh. yes!" His hand rose quickly
to his carefully tied four-in-hand and he
fingered 1t nervously.
you may not remember it, but he had
only one eye"
Yes, that's So said Wheaton as if re-
calling the fact with difficulty.
And Mrs. Whipple says there was some
thing wrong about one of the eyes of the
man who accosted her and Grant at Mr..
Porter'S gate. What became of that fellow
after he left the ranch-have you any idea o.
Rartdan had walked away to talk to
group of men in the reading room, leaving
SaXton and Wheaton alone.
He went west the last I knew of him,
Wheaton answered, steadily
1T has struck me that he might be in this
thing It's only guess, but Raridan and l
thought we'd run out to the PoindeXter
rendezvous of the kidnapers. It's probably
fools errand, but 1t won't take long, and
We'll do it unofhcially, without saying any
thing to the authorities" His mind was on
the plan and he looked at his watch and
called Raridan to come.
Il believe I'll go along, said Wheaton,
suddenly. I'VE can be back by noon tomor-
row." he added, conscientiously, remem-
bering his duties at the bank.
.All right" said Wary. Were taking
bags along in case of emergencies A boy
came down carrying Saxton's suit case
Wheaton and Raridan hurried out together
to The Bachelors to get their own things.
1t was relief to Wheaton to have some
thing to do; it was hardly possible that
Snyder had fed to the ranch house; but in
any event he was glad to get away from

Special to Review.)


 Douglas, May 13.-Last week Mir T. s. Lambertson, the well known Sonora mining man, made up his mind to To- cate in this city, and make a home here. On his arrival he found condi- tions much to his liking, and he de- termined that he would look over the residence property and buy a home already for the reception of his family, who had been with him in Mexico for nearly two years
 The fine residence built by H. A. Strodthoff last year on Eleventh street struck the fancy of Mir. Lamberton, and deal was closed at once by E. R. Pirtle for its purchase. MT. Lambertson returned to Sonora and brought his family to Douglas and is now located in his new home.
 Speaking Of Douglas yesterday Nr. Lamberton gave it as his opinion that this city would continue to i'm prove. He has been in Sonora for two years, and he knows of the future prospects or that section, which will De tributary to Douglas.
 Mir. Lambertson owns a ranch on the Babispe river, where he has some two hundred acres under cultivation This ranch he has been living on, but has now leased it to other parties. He has also been engaged in the cattle business. Recently he sold his cattle, so that he might give his entire time to the development of some valuable mining property which he owns in the vicinity of the Fl Tigre mine. MT. Lambertson is the owner of no per tinencias in the Moctezuma district, and not far from Fl Tigre. He has claims adjoining the Fl Tigre group both on the north and south. On the Esperanza mine he has done two hun dred feet of development work, tun- nel and shaft. continuous ore body has been cut to a depth of 150 feet, from which some very rich ore has
