George fancied he had the key to the

and hand was laid on the latch.
George! George Buckley! What's
the matter in there? Killing rats, old
man? 1t was Bob Hanks voice.
1t was the signal for fight. The man
who had gone for the tools could be
heard unbarring the door in the rear.
The two in the Office tiptoed out into
the warehouse, and then, seeing the
door open, panic seized them, and they
ran for their lives. Bob Hanks heard
them, and, having had no reply to his
question, he suspected foul play and
darted at once round the warehouse
toward the back end He was just in
time to see three figures running at
the top of their speed down the rail-
way. He pulled his revolver and fired
an Intellectual shot after them. With
the weapon in his hand he entered the
open door and CROPPED toward the light
in the office, calling loudly for Buck

George stretched upon the floor. Turn
ing him over, he saw the wound in his
head and hastily felt his heart

gasped. Fastening to the front door,
he opened it and ran out. In the half
moonlight down the street he saw a
man standing motionless.

man called out. "Shootin' at some
