HOT WATER WAS WANTED.
It Took Commands in Three Ian

While touring in Switzerland we de-
cided to spend month or more in the
Bernese Oberlands, in little hostelry

situated high on a ridge under the
shadow of the mighty "Jungfrau" The
house was full of French and Ger

My effort was thrown away. The

My sister ventured the request in

You could buy nice farm with
that reward, couldn't you" began
Larry, but at that moment Bates ran
toward us calling loudly.
They're coming across the lake,
sir" he reported, and instantly the
sheriff's head disappeared, and as we
ran toward the house we heard his
horse pounding down the road toward
st. Agatha's.
'The law be damned. They don't in
tend to come in here by the front door
as matter of law" said Larry. Pick
ering's merely using the sheriff to give
responsibility to his maneuvers.
1t was no time for discussion of
motives. We ran across the meadow
past the water tower and down to the
boat-house. Far out on the lake we
saw half a dozen men approaching the
Glenarm grounds. They advanced
steadily over the light snow that lay
upon the ice. one man slightly in ad-
vance and evidently the leader.
It's Morgan" exclaimed Bates.
And there's Ferguson"
Larry chuckled and slapped his
thigh
"Observe that stocky little devil just
behind the leader. He's my friend
from Scotland Yard. Lads! this is
really an international affair"
Bates, go back to the house and
call at any sign of attack" I ordered.
THE sheriff's loose somewhere"
"And Pickering is directing his
forces from afar." remarked Stoddard
Il count ten men in Morgan's line
said Larry. "and the sheriff and his
deputy make two more. That's ~, not
counting Pickering. that we know OF
on the other side"
Warn them away before they get
much nearer" suggested Stoddard.
I'VE don't want to hurt people If we
can help it,"-and at this l went to the
end of the pier. Morgan and his men
were now quite near, and there was no
mistaking their intentions. Most of
them carried guns. the others re-
volvers and long ice hooks.

hands for a truce. I'VE wish you no
harm. but II you enter these grounds

They had paused at a word from
Morgan and listened sullenly.

preliminary skirmish. Davidson, the
detective, seemed disgusted at Nor
gan's tactics, openly abused the care
taker, and ran ahead of his column,
revolver in hand, bearing down upon
Larry. who held our center.
The Englishman's haste was his
undoing. A light fall of snow few
days before had gathered in the lit
tie hollows of the wood deceptively.
The detective plunged into one of
these and fell sprawling on all fours-
calamity that caused his comrades
to pause uneasily. Larry was upon
his eAemy in a flash. wrenched his
pistol away and pulled the man to his
feet.
"Ah, Davidson. There's many a
slip! Move, If you dare, and I'll plug
you with your own gun" And he
stood behind the man. using him as
shield while Morgan and the rest of
the army hung near the boat house

ITS the strategic intellect we've
captured, general" observed Larry to
me. You see the American invaders
were depending on British brains"
Morgan now acted on the hint we
had furnished him and sent his men
out as slirmishers. The loss of the
detective had undoubtedly staggered
! the caretaker, and we were slowly re-
treating toward the house, Larry with
one hand on the collar of his pris-
oner and the other grasping the re-
volver, with which he poked the man
frequently in the ribs. We slowly
continued our retreat, fearing a rush,

pocket Greek testament he always car
ried.
Bates ran in to report a summons
at the outer wall. and Larry and !
went together to answer it, sending
Bates to keep watch toward the lake.
Our friend. the sheriff, with a dep
uty. was outside IN buggy. He stood
up and talked to us over the wall.
"You gents understand that I'm only
doing my duty. It's an unpleasant
business, but the court orders me to
eject all trespassers on the premises,
and I've got to do it."
"The law is being used by an in

sary. and / advise you to keep away

The sheriff listened respectfully.

You ought to understand. Mr.. Glen
arm, that l amt the court; I'm the
sheriff, and it's not for me to pass on
these questions. I've got my orders
and I've got to enforce 'em. and hope
you will not make 1t necessary for me
to use violence. The judge said to me.
We deplore violence in such cases.
Those were his honor's very words"
"You may give his honor my compli-
ments and tell him that we are sorry
not to see things his way, but there
are points involved in this business
that he doesn't know anything about,
and we. unfortunately, have no time
to lay them before him."
The sheriff's seeming satisfaction
with his position on the wall and his
disposition to parley had begun to
arouse my suspicious, and Larry sew
eral times exclaimed fmpatiently at
the absurdity of discussing my affairs
with a person whom he insisted on
