into 21S. Mr.. Cullen was still dressing,
but expressed my regrets through the
door that could not go with his party
to the Grand canyon; told him that all
the stage arrangements had been com
pleted and promised to join him there
in case my luck was good. Then saw
Frederic for moment to see how he
was (for I had nearly forgotten him in
the excitement), to find that he was
gaining all the time and preparing even
to get up When 1 returned to the sa-
loon, the rest of the party were there,
and said goodby to the captain and
Albert. Then turned to Lord Rallies,
and, holding out my hand, said:
Lord Rallies, joked a little the
other morning about the way you
thought road agents ought to be treated.
You have turned the joke very neatly
and pluckily, and I want to apologize
for myself and thank you for the rail

brought us to the half way ranch by 2,

through coconino forest, we held up
there fer daylight, getting little sleep
meanwhile.
We rode into the camp at the Grand

look at Albert Cullen's winchester. That
it had been recently fired was as plain
as the Grand canyon itself. Throwing
back the bar, found an empty car

That completed the tale of seven shots
I didn't feel absolutely safe till I had
asked Tolfree if there had been any
shooting of echoes by the party, but his
denial rounded out my chain of evil

a shout at seeing me, and even before l
had reached them they called to know
how could come so soon and if had
caught the robbers. Mr.. Cullen started
to tell his pleasure at my rejoining the
party, but myexpression made him pause,
and it seemed to dawn on all three that
the winchester across my saddle and the
cowboys resting nonchalantly on the
revolvers in their belts had meaning.
"Mr. Cullen 1 said, 1--WE got a
very unpleasant job on hand, which /
don't want to make any worse than
need be. Every fact points to your party
as guilty of holding up the train last
night and stealing those letters. Prob
ably you weren't all concerned, but
I've got to go on the assumption that
you are all guilty till you prove other

Mr.. Cullen.
II don't wish TO arrest you gentlemen
unless you force me to, I said, for /
don't see that it will do any good. But
want you to return TO camp with Us. =
They aseented TO that, and, single
file, we rode back When there, told
each that he must be searched, to which
they submitted at once. After that we
went through their baggage. ! wasn't

WORK OF REBUILDING.

After adjusting the damage to the
st. Mary's Catholic Convent by fire,
the Catholic church in this city Will
lose something like $4,000. An insur-
anca inspector was in the city F1-
day to adjust the losses and allow
ed $4,000 for damages. TINS ooes not
more than half cover the loss the
church sustained from the fire. This
amount, however, will very near cover
the loss on the building. The furni-
ture and other properties not being
insured.
The work of rebuilding the convent
was begun Saturday when the con-
tract was let for the reconstruction
of the building exactly as it was be-
fore the third story was destroyed.
This story will be replaced, but in
the future 1t will not be employed as
a dormitory, as there might be dan
ger of fire again but will be used as
a storage room.
This Improvement 1t Is expected
will be completed in about three
weeks. There is also some possibility
that an additional wing will be placed
on the building. However, the contract
for this work has not been let.
The Catholic school has again re-
sumed its work and is running regu-
larly, as nearby houses were procur'
I'd for holding school until the COM
pletion of the building.
Father Wallrapp is in receipt of
letter from the bishop in which he
states his gratitude to the Ardmore
people in aiding the church and also
for the contribution made by men OF
this city towards the reconstruction
of the building.
