The stove had a false bottom and from
the cavity in II he brought forth three
heavy sacks which | saw contained
coins.
Wastrow had watched these pro-
ceedng with eyes that were mar
rowed to my slits. ] could see that
he was interested. and | didn't like
the cupidity and cunning which showed
in his entire face.
Parlow had lugged his sacks down
the companionway and started for the
launch declining the assistance that
Wastrow offered him, and he was In
the act of stepping into the launch
when there came a spiteful crack and
a puff of smoke from somewhere back
in the timber. and a bullet pumped
into a stanchion beside him, to which
the launch was tied
1t was no time for hesitation, so
we three jumped into the launch and
Wastrow cut the rope which moored
us to the steamer. The surviving
members of the gang were returning.
and we had no desire to be trapped on
the dismantled steamer. In a trice
Parlow had started the engine and we
were headed away from the Davy
Jones. Bullets sang all around us,
and although we returned the fire, the
pirates were hid away in the timber.
and there was small chance Of silen-
cling them. We tore through the water
with bullets skipping and ricocheting
about us on every hand until we
turned the bend in the slough. Not
until then did we draw full breath
or feel that we were out of danger
from the murderous bandits hid back
in the thick timber.
1t was an uneventful cruise back to
the city, it having been decided that
it was better to return there and send
out a strong party to recover the
stolen boat, than for us three to at
tempt it. I am sure that Parlow didn't
sleep a wink on the return journey.
for whenever I was awake l saw him
huddled down upon the ironbound box
into which he had surreptitiously
slipped the sacks of money that he
had taken from the bottom Of the
stove.
I was dog tired when we reached
port late the next afternoon, so left
the river-men aboard the launch after
offering to help Parlow carry his box
to place of safety, an offer which he
declined.
That was the last 1 ever saw Of eth.
er of the river-men.
Parlow was found dead, floating In
the river some months later.
Wastrow, who had disappeared, was
suspected of the murder, but he was
never apprehended.
don't know what became of the
ironbound box, but the Davy Jones
never went on another cruise. The pt-
rates burned 1t clear to the keel where
1t was tied up in the isolated lake.

at squirrels or ducks instead of human
beings.
1t made me turn sick to hear them
speak so lightly of killing three of
their fellow men. We ran alongside.
and one of the river-men jumped out
and made fast to the steamer. Par
low looked apprehensively about the
boat. and followed his gaze, which
finally settled on the brick foundation
for the boilers. saw glad light
come into his eyes, and somehow |
jumped to the conclusion that his
treasure, whatever 1t might be, was
concealed in that brickwork.
Wastrow had not noticed this.
The boat was in the widest confu-
sion. 1t was evident that the thieves
were literally following Parlow's sug-
gestion and picking it to pieces. The
stuffy cabin and squalid staterooms
had been absolutely wrecked. The
mattresses were slit open, planking
torn away. and every place Of conceal
ment laid bare. Parlow grinned mali
ciously at the wreck of his boat. and
| saw that he felt the keenest salts
faction at the knowledge of the three
inert things that lay out upon the
forward deck, stiffening in the drizzle
which had now turned to sleet.
Parlow examined the corpses and
said that he knew all three of them;
they were members of gang of
toughs that infested the river, and he
began to display symptoms Of alarm
as soon as he had looked them over.
This amt all Of en-" he said
There's more'n this, and they will be
coming back here and takin' pot
shot at us If we don't hurry up and
get away" Wastrow seemed to share
this apprehension, and suggested that
we had best leave as soon as possible,
for the pirates would have every ad-
vantage of us if they should come
back, the timber about the boat af-
fording excellent places of conceal
ment from which they could fire upon
us with safety.
Acting upon this advice, Parlow Sc
cured a crowbar and attacked the
brick foundation under the boiler at
a point near the farther end from the
fire-box, while Wastrow stood by and
watched him with greedy eyes. With
few lusty strokes Parlow pried out
some of the bricks, and 1 saw small
iron-bound box within the opening.
Parlow dragged it out with some diff
Guilty. 1t was heavy, and something
within 1t clinked like metal when 1t
was moved. With Wastrow's assist
ance he carried it to the gasoline
launch and placed 1t inside. Then he
hastened up the companionway into
the stuffy office and dived into the
rickety stove that stood in one corner.
He scooped the ashes from the waste
box at its bottom, and disclosed
small ring. Pulling on this, he raised
an ingeniously contrived door which
had been quite concealed By the ashes.

| channel on both sides with eyes that
overlooked nothing, and at the discov-
cry of new sign of the boats having
passed that way. they would nudge
each other and exchange glances that
| boded no good for the thieves. Par
low was especially noticeable for the
| steely glitter of his eyes, and | read
murder in them as plainly as l have
ever seen it in boX-car letters on the
front page of yellow journal.
We must have Travelled mile or
more, when, just as we darted around
clump of willows and saw stretch
of open water loomed ahead. there
was a spiteful report far down the
lake. and rife ball sung over our
heads. | had been under fire before.
but 1t happened so suddenly that |
ducked involuntarily. But not so with
Parlow and Wastrow. They seemed
to hail the attack with a fiendish de-
light, and | saw them stick their rifles
farther out of the open window and
sight carefully down the barrels.
Our course was changed slightly,
and as the prov of the boat swung
to the right in obedience to the rud-
der | saw the Davy Jones tied up to
gigantic cypress tree at the farther
side of the lake. We headed directly
for it, and there were several more
shots from its direction, and one bull
let pumped into the woodwork of the
cabin and sent a shower of splinters
about my ears. Over the bowed heads
of the two river-men l could plainly
see the steamboat, and on its lower
deck ! saw three men, each firing at
us with a repeating rifle. We were
now less than 200 yards distant from
them, but neither of my companions
had replied to their fire. Our progress
was slow. and we made an excellent
target, as the sullen crunching OF bull
lets through the woodwork and the
splintering of glass indicated.
AS coolly as if he were giving some
direction about the running of the
launch, l heard Parlow mutter to his
companion:
you take the one on your right side
and I'll take care of the one on mine.
You say when
Wastrow Immediately grunted his
understanding, and although he didn't
sav "when," he said something that
caused two fingers to curl about two
triggers. There was a loud report
from their rifles, sounding like a
single shot, and saw two Of the men
ON the steamer crumple up like sere
leaf, stagger step or so, and fall to
the deck. The third man turned to
run. but he had only gone far enough
to permit of the fiinging back of a
lever and hasty taking Of sight be-
fore 1 saw him pitch forward In re-
sponse to a spiteful crack from Par
lows rifle.

HEAR OGDEN PLEA
FOR LOWER RATES
Interstate Commissioners Lis
ten to Arguments and De-
part for East.

Arguments In the case Of the Weber
club and the Intermountain Fair asso-
citation against the Oregon Short Line
and other railroads, TO obtain the same
passenger rates for the Ogden fair as
apply during conference week. in Salt
Lake, were heard Saturday morning by
Commissioners Judson. c. Clements, Q.
A. Prouty, Z. z. Clark and Franklin
K. Lane Of the interstate commerce
commission.
The arguments, which took place In
the United States district court room
here, lasted from $3.50 to II a. m, those
participating being Judge H. H. Hen
derson and A r. Haywood for the Og-
den people, and Judge P. L. Williams
and Judge T. 9. billiard for the rail-
roads. Members Of the commission left
shortly after noon Saturday for Wash
ington, Commissioner Clark intending
to stop off for a few days at his home In
Iowa.
Railroads have been In the habit Of
making a rate Of one fare for the round
trip to the semi-annual sessions of the
church conference in Salt Lake. and
the state fair is usually held the same
week. so both conference and fair get
the same rate. Ogden fair managers
and other compliments, who have been
getting a rate of one and one-fourth
fare 70 the Ogden fair, insisted that
they should have the same rate. They
argued that the railroads had showed
discrimination against Ogden.
The railroads point to the fact that
conference week in Salt Lake brings
here much larger crowds, making nee
essary the use of additional equipment
and bringing in greater revenues, which
made it possibie 10 give the lower rate.
and they say the law as to undue dis
elimination" does not apply.
