CHAPTER XII.
AN EVENING IN JAIL

AN ENENlNG In JAIL
Before my ideas had had time tc
straighten themselves out was lifted
to my feet and half pushed, half lifted,
to the station platform. Camp was al
ready there, and as 1 took this fact in
saw Frederic and his lordship pulled
through the doorway of my car by the
cowboys and dragged out on the plat
form beside me. The reports were now
in Lord Rallies hands.
That's what we want, boys" cried
Camp, "those letters
Take your hands off me, - said Lord
Rallies coolly, land I'll give them to
you.
The men who had hold Of his arms
let go of him, and quick as a fash
Rallies tore the papers in two. He tried
TO tear them once more, but before he
could do so half a dozen men were hold
ing him and the papers were forced out
of his hands. Albert Cullen-for all of
them were on the platform of els by
this time-shouted, well done,
Ralles!" quite forgetting in the excite
ment of the moment his English accent
and drawl. Apparently Camp didn't
agree with him, for he ripped out a
string Of oaths which he impartially di-
vided among Rallies, the cowboys and
myself. 1 was decidedly sorry that 1
hadn't given the real letters, for his
lordship apparently had no scruple about
destroying them, and I knew few men
whom I would have seen behind prison
bars with as little personal regret.
However, no one had apparently paid the
slightest attention to the pony, and the
probabilities were that he was already
headed for Baldwin's ranch, with no
likelihood of his stopping till he reached
home. At least that was what hoped,
but there were lot of ponies standing
about, and, not knowing the markings
of the one 1 had ridden, wasn't able
to tell whether he might not be among
them.
Just as the fragments of the papers
We're passed over to Mr.. Camp he was
joined by Baldwin and the judge, and
Camp held the torn pieces up to them,
saying:
They've torn the proxies in two
Don't let that trouble you, said the
judge. Make an affidavit before me,
reciting the manner in which they Were
destroyed. and I'll grant You man

frowned at him, and he put his face IN

to object, so in they came, accompanied
by the judge. Baldwin opened the ball
by saying:

pretty cute gamble, and I suppose You
think you stand TO win the pot =

Still. said Camp angrily. as if my
contented manner fretted him. ..our
time will come presently. and we can
make it pretty uncomfortable for you.
Illegal proceedings put man in Jail IN
the long run.
II hope you take your lesson to
heart" I remarked cheerfully, which
made Camp scowl worse than ever.
Now, said Baldwin, who kept cool,
I'VE know you are not risking less of
position and the states prison for moth
ing, and we want to know what there
is III it for you.
I wouldn't bet my chance of states

the Saratoga club house and that II prob
ably will never be reopened has created
more anxiety among residents and hotel

announcement OF last night.

been losing heavily. When asked IL he
has not been losing heavily on the races
here this summer, he said: II haven't bet
on horse race in 15 years. The whole
story that I am selling out because OF
financial difficulties is false"
To Saratogans who have talked with
him he said that he had nothing against
any person or official OF Saratoga Springs;
