men should answer certain questions
after they had claimed the constitu-
uOnal right to refuse 10 answer on the
ground of possible discrimination, iosted
from 10 o'clock in the morning until
in the afternoon. Each question was
brought up in turn and the court
passed upon its admissibility-

men should answer the questions put to
them. Judge Kohlsaat ordered that

The questions which the men have

they in a large measure controlled its

Still waters deep, my boy. 1 reckon you'll do
your part yet" He paused again at the door and
smiled. And each man felt something akin to
for this great fellow with his chest and
masterful eyes, who was a real, genuine detective.
The three remaining conspirators talked until
late that night, but when they parted they were
possessed of a signal-code which would have daunted
many extensive but less enthusiastic mind
1t agreed that Jake, having the fastest horse,
should be the one appointed to carry the news to
Collins when the victim should be discovered
Then followed days that fingered long in the memory
of these three days when akes horse continually
standing harnessed in the barn, and when mysterious
chances passed along the three days when strange
signals and surreptous notes sent with infinite
and secrecy, suggesting some remote spot where
they might meet, review the signalcode and discuss
in h1shed voices the probability of JOhnstons i'm

with his two coworkers by persistng in saying some
thing funny when else saying something

without" and it really not possible to do without
Simon Tarr.
But days passed and Others followed them, and
no Johnston appeared. An expression of extreme
melancholy settled upon the robust countenance of
