Late the third afternoon l stun

close beside It, among the frs and
cedars, l found where horses had
been tied. This was what I had
searched for, and I felt sure that l
would here find something of value.

it then being too dark to attempt such
a thing.
"That night, by the light of my
campfire. l read again the report of
the robbery as given by the train
hands. Near the last Of it was the
account of the sleeping car porter who
related, with evident grief, that he
had been relieved of $6.15 in silver,
and that the bandits had rifled the
LIQUOR cabinet of the buffet, taking
with them all Of the whisky and a few
bottles Of the rarer and stronger
wines.
Early next morning l examined the
deserted camp of the highwaymen.
There was nothing but a burned-out
pile of ashes and charred sticks and a
few empty bottles. The bottles gave
the clew for which l searched. The
highwaymen had certainly made their

label of the sleeping car company, and
some Of them were the diminutive
TASKS of which l had drunk n on
the trip from Denver. There was not
a scrap of paper anywhere else to
be found.
"Elated with my success, l made a
survey Of the country and discovered
a h~alf-obscure trail leading farther
into the mountains. / took up this
trail and followed it as best | could
until nightfall. Often | lost it, and
sometimes l spent an hour or more
casting about to pick it up again, as |
have seen hounds baffled on the trail
of a fox. About three o'clock that
afternoon I found something that made
my eyes sparkle. Shattered into a
thousand pieces was the remains of
one of the small whisky bottles on a
large fiat rock beside the trail where
it had doubtless been cast in a playful
mood induced by it's contents. Among
the fragments | found the label of the

was in my favor, for no rains came
to obliterate the trail. For five days
| followed the bandits across the hills
and through the valleys, verifying my
route from time to time by fragments
of broken whisky bottles along the
way, and at the places where they had
camped for a night. The buffet-car
must have been well stocked, for !
found many bottles in this journey.
THE trail eventually came to a
we'll beaten road, which, from my map,
/ learned was the stage and mail route
from Montrose, the nearest railroad
point to Ouray, then a rather insig-
nificant mining settlement. l lost NO
time in getting to Ouray, for it was

United States deputy marshal, n man
of tigcrish bravery, for assistance.
There was no chink or crack in the
door through which l could gain "a

of the cabin where / thought there

are designed to prevent the sending
