Splendid. When shall we go?"

''Now'S good a time as any"
Sykes called in his men and gave
them the plan. They were to follow
the girl to the edge Of a clearing. where
they would lie concealed under the
thick brush while she went forward
and laid her snare On the way she
told Sykes something Of the lay Of the
land The cabin was within few
yards OF the creek, and this was the
reason Silcox had selected IL for q
hiding place. II attacked he could
easily drop down into 1t and it would
be hard to get him. AboTc the cabin
the ground, though comparatively open,
was hidden here and there by rocks
and scrub trees.
Sykes saw the advantage Of her tell.
ing the moOnshlner that they were
coming up instead Of down, since it
would probably prevent him from talk
ing to the creek. II the officer had
any suspicion as to the girls real in
tentions they were now dispelled. In
deed. he had suggested the revenge
himself. Besides, she was too simple
to concoct any plan for an escape.
Was sho not leading them to Silcox's
hiding place?
When they arrived on the ground she
said to Sykes:
ID y want to take linn alive or take
him dend?"
ALIVE II we can"
Then You uns better 90 up the crick
spell whar there's an openIn' he'll
have to go out"
Sykes ordered the two men to do as
she suggested. When they had gone
she said to him: "'S soon's I've had
my talk. Tom'll go up, as said. You
uns kin shoot him If y like: don't
keer." This was said with trenor in
her voice. as though in her heart sho
did care. Reckon I'd better drop
down behind the bank o. the crick to
git outen the way O. the bullets. Good
by. I'm on"
Sykes waited the result Of the ma
neuver for about fve minutes, when
he saw the figure Of a man in butter
nut" swiftly making his way up the
creek. He could have easily shot tho
moonshiner, but he relied implicitly
on his falling into the trap above. He
saw the calico dress and check sun
bonnet disappear behind the bank, but
he was intent on the person who had
gone the other way. He followed the
'butternut." keeping him IN sight 30
far as was possible, till he saw his
men take him in without shot. Then
he breathed n sigh Of relief.
Cncocking his rife, Sykes walked
leisurely toward the others. As he
approached them they came to meet
him. leaving the prisoner unguarded
He hurried on, recocking his gun to
cover the moonshiner and wondering
what they meant by such carelessness
Mind your prisoner he shouted.
TITS the girl" replied one of the men
lugubriously.
And so 10 was. The two had ex-
changed clothes behind the rock. Tho
girl had gone mp the creek, while Tom
had dropped behind the bank. Making
his way down a short distance he had
mounted horse she had provided and
was following trnil that vas surs 70

through the dangers of cataract and
hungry animals would emerge in an
open space below. But the end Of the
route was watched, and the chances
of escape were few. Sam Sykes, the
leader OF the revenue men. was puz-
zled. He knew where Silcox was and
would have been sure of him had he
had more men to surround him. But
he had only two assistants. and SilcoX
was a desperate man. One or two lives
were likely to be tho price Of the cap
ture. He was meditatlng as to what
he would do when a girl typical of the
country approached him. She wore n
cheap calico dress, a check sunbonnet
and cowhtde shoes.

Closes December 23

The Heralds Popular Salesladies
Contest has but eleven more days to
run, but these days will be filled with
more enthusiasm than all the previous
weeks combined.
The contest closes December % mid
night All votes must be cast by that
time. or they will not be counted. The
contest has been running since october
9, and has attracted more than ordl-
nary attention in this section OF the
country. 1t has aroused the interest
for two reasons: First. for the lber-
ality of the prizes. and, second, from
the fact that great many popular
ladies are entered in the race and are
determined to win. The result is that
great good-natured tug-of-war is be-
ing enacted by Herald readers, the
climax of which will be reached a week
from next Saturday.
There is a special vote offer in vogue
this week--the last one of this great
race. An increase of so per cent in
votes is being made. Those who have
subscriptions to turn in should do so
this week WITHOUT FAIL, as they
will secure more votes for their sub
scriptions by placing the orders this
week than by holding the subscriptions
until the last week of the race. Don't
make the mistake of thinking there is
something better coming. There is
not. This is absolutely the last spe-
cial offer of any kind to be made in
this contest. The race will run the

homecoming pleasure has been sadly
marred, At the height OF his financial
climb the eX-cotton king spent his
money freely. Nothing was too good
for Mrs. Suly or his daughter. Among
other odds and ends which he picked
up for Mrs. Sully was a magnificent
Hudson bay sable stole and muff.
These trihes came high.
Mrs. Sully decided to come to the
family rooftree at 73 Mawney street.
this city. She boarded the train which
left New York at l o'clock this after
noon and brought her fine furs with
her.
On arriving at 555 this evening she
hastily gathered up her effects, and
was so warmly greeted by her father
that she did not realize until she had
reached the carriage porch that her
muff was gone. The article alone was
valued at $1,000. and she was frantic
when she discovered her loss. The
police were Immediately notified, and
alarms were sent to all the outside
stations, including those located In the
poorer districts. incidentally the de-
tectives got to work and are looking
for the big prize to turn up in some
of the cheap pawn and second hand
shops. Nothing has yet been heard of
the missing treasure, and Mrs. Sully
will have cold hands tomorrow unless
she has a relay of furs.
