At last they cam to a railroad bridge, but not stopping, they carefully picked their way along the peril ous path. although q misstep would have thrown them between the ties and into the river below. Long after midnight, the dogs haltered in front of a tank used for supplying water to the locomotives.
 T wonder if they're in there," said the detective. "The dogs certainly would not stop here and act the way they do"
 T reckon they're right" said railroad man, who had joined in the pursuit That tank sprang aleak some time ago. and it's empty, so anybody could easily climb up the ladder on the outside and let themselves down into it."
 Well, I will just go up and take a look inside. Give me that lantern you've got and suiting the deed to the word, Phipps with pistol in one hand and lan- tern in the other, climbed to the top, of the tank, while the crowd waited breath- lessly.

Echo ana O'Higgins were leashed, and then two other black heads appeared above the top of the tank. As fast as the men came down they were tied together Then some of the party descended Into the tank and found enough provisions to last them for months-all stolen from Nick Davenport's store.
