it." said Walter. "You got me out of a

to earn some money from Jack Mangum."

him. at any rate. He's a thief"
Finally Peter, for he was named for
his father, accepted the dollar, and, sit
ting down by Walter, asked him about his
adventure in the wood, listening with
great interest to the details.

The farmer absolutely refused to &C
cept pay for breakfast, though Walter
urged it. 1t was contrary to his ideas
of hospitality.

ate. Come again and see us if you come
back this way"
"Thank you," said Walter, "I will ac-

shall not feel like calling on Mr.. Man

Walter thought he had seen the last OF
Jack Mangum; but he was mistaken.
Three days later, while walking in the
main street of Riverton, with a book un-
der his arm, for he had received fresh
supply from the agent at Cleveland, he
heard the sound of wheels. Looking up
he saw a wagon approaching containing
two men. One of them, as he afterwards
learned, was the sheriff. The other he
Immediately recognized as Jack Mangum
There was no mistaking his sinister face
and forbidding scowl. He had been TAX
on early that morning by the sheriff, who
with a couple of men to assist him, haC
visited the cabin in the forest, and, de
spite the resistance offered by Jack, wht
was aided by his wife, he had beer
bound, and was now being conveyed t.
Jail. He also looked up and recognized
Walter. His face became even more sin
lister. as he shook his fist at our hero.
Il vow I'll be even with you som
day !" he exclaimed.
"Not il l can help it." thought Wal
ter, but he did not answer in words.
He was rather gratifed to hear the mex
day that Jack had been sentenced to si
months Imprisonment. He felt som
pity, however, for Meg, who might hav
been a good woman if she had been mar

BY HORATlO ALGER, JR.

Fifteen minutes later Jack lose to his
feet. An idea had occurred to him. At
the distance of a furlong there was
rail fence. 1t occurred to him that one
of these rails would enable him to cross
the ditch and get at his victim. He was
not afraid Walter would escape, since he
could easily turn back and capture him
if he ventured across.
Walter did not understand his design
in leaving the ditch. Was it possible
that he meant to raise the siege? This
seemed hardly probable. He watched,
with some anxiety, the movements of his
foe, fearing some surprise.
When Jack reached the fence, and be-
gan to pull out one of the rails he un-
derstood his object. His position was
evidently becoming more dangerous.
Jack came back with a triumphant
smile upon his face.
"Now," he said, 1--WE got you'll y
Walter watched him warily, and low
cred the plank, ready to convert it into
bridge as soon as necessary. Jack put
down the rail. 1t was long enough to span
the ditch, but was rather narrow, SO that

Walter had moved several rods farther
UP, and thrown the plank across. Though
his chances of escape from the peril that
menaced him seemed to have diminished
since his enemy was also provided with q
bridge, and it became now a question Of
superior speed, Walter was not alarmed
Indeed, his prospects of deliverance ap
peared brighter than. ever, for he caught
sight of two men approaching across the
meadow, and he suspected that they were
sent by the boy whom he had hired. These
men had not yet attracted the attention
of Jack, whose back was turned towards
them. He crossed the rail, and, at thu
same time, Walter cross the plank. Thi'
he drew across, and then, leaving it on tn,
bank, set out on quick run.

two men as Walter came up.
II got lost in the woods, and passed
the night in that mans house." said our
hero. 'He tried to rob me, but locked
him in the closet, and jumped out of the
window and escaped. This morning he
got on my track, and would have caught
me if it hadn't been for that ditch"
"You locked him in the closet?" repeat
ed the other. How were you able to do
that? You are only boy, while he is q
strong man,"
Walter explained the matter briefly.
That was pretty smart" said Peter
Holcomb, for this was the name of the
man who questioned him. You're able
to take care of yourself"
II don't know how it would have turn
ed out If you hadn't come up"
II happened to be at home when my
boy came and told me that Jack Man
gum had offered him fifty cents for some
breakfast. He told me about you also,
and, as l suspected Jack was up to some
Of his tricks, l came along"
II am very much obliged to you," said
Walter, land l hope you'll let me pay
you for your trouble"
Il don't want any pay, but you may
pay my boy what you promised him, if
you want to-
II certainly will and l never paid
away money with more pleasure. AS
haven't had anything to eat since yester-
day afternoon, l should like to have you
direct me to the nearest place where l
can get some breakfast"
Come to my house; l guess my wife
can scare up some breakfast for you.
She'll be glad to see the boy that got
the better of Jack Mangum."
"IIow long has this Jack Mangum
lived about here?' asked Walter, after
accepting with thanks the offer of a
breakfast.
about FIVE years. He's been in the
county Jail twice during that time, and
there's a warrant out for him now. He's
a confirmed thief He'd rather steal any
time than earn an honest living"
While this conversation was going on,
they had been walking toward the farm
house in which Peter Holcomb lived. 1t
was an humble one-story building, with
an attic above. On one side Of it were
broad fields, some under cultivation and
there was an appearance of thrift and
comfort despite the smallness Of the
house.
Come in,' said Peter, leading the way
"John," he added, addressing the hired
man, who had accompanied him, you
may go into the potato field and hoe. I'll
be out directly"
Walter followed him into broad, low
room-the ,kitchen-in which Mrs. Hol-
comb a pleasant looking woman, was en-
gagged in cooking.
'Mary," said her husband, cant you
scare up some breakfast for this yotng
man? He stopped at Jack Mangum's last
night, and didn't like his accommodations
well enough to stay to breakfast"
"You don't say so," repeated Mrs. Hol
comb, her countenance expressing curios
ity. "That's about the last place It
want to stop at"
She went to the pantry and speedily
reappeared with some cold meat, Loaf
of bread, and some fresh butter, which
she placed on the table.
1T looks NICE" said Walter, "and
don't know when l have been 80 hun
gry."
At that moment the farmers boy, who
had served as Walters messenger, cam,
into the kitchen.
"You got away" he said, smiling.
"Yes, thanks to you," said Walter
Here is what promised YOU"

weaken Mr.. Fairbanks. The friends of
President Roosevelt are going to insist on
generous Endorsement of his AdmInstrR-

that if the President is indoTsed at all it
ought to be in very mild language. They
say that Taft stands as the representative
OF the Roosevelt Administration and TO
indorse it in unequivocal terms would he to

Fairbanks might as we'll not be a candidate.
The recent district conventions were
silent on the question Of the PTesident's
policies following the cue Of the leaders
to make the conventions distinctly Fair

not believe the State convention can be so
easily controlled and they fear that, no

URGES SUPPORT OF HUGHES.
Canon Chase Discusses the Governors
War on Gambling.

war On Gambling.
IN his sermon at the morning service
yesterday in Christ Episcopal Church,
in Bedford avenue near Clymer street,
williamsburg on the theme Thou Shalt
Not Steal.' the pastor. the Rev. Canon
William Sheafe Chase. spoke strongly in
favor Of Gov. Hughes and in his utterances
he dealt with the subject Of gambling in
general
There are two profound reasons FOR
supporting Gov. Hughes said Canon
Chase. The first is that the amendment
of the Constitution adopted by vote Of
100 to I i'm 1894 by the constitutional con-
vention and authorized by large popular
vote Of the citizens through the state. not
onlv forbade racetrack and all kinds Of

ture should pass appropriate laws to prevent
disobedience to this constitutional pro-
vision Racetrack gambling is more dan
Rerous to the community than poolroom
gambling because il does not merely fur
nsh an opportunity 10 gamble hut edu-
Gates and manufactures gamblers. No
one goes 10 a pOOlroom except To gamble,
and when there he finds only few, who are
present Tor the sole purpose OF winning
money.
The other reason why we should de-
mand that our representatives IN Albany
shall support Gov. Hughes is in order TO
prevent the youth Of the land from becOm-
ing thieves. This is why the Merchants
Association Of New York has sent out 30 900
letters 10 their members and friends urging
them to do what they can 10 suppress race
track gambling PoolToom gambling is
built upon races and dependent upon them.
II We want to destroy poolrooms We must
destroy racetrack gambling. IL is mis-
take TO think that the poolroom people want
10 destroy racetrack gambling. They may
have a quarrel with the men who control
the monopoly, but they really do not want
to kill the goose that lays the golden egg,
