THE RIFLFD TRUNK.

A S soon as the captain reached
~ the cabin with Nash and Bon
~ ner. he pressed a button and
requested the boy who answered
20 bring Mr. Hicke and Mr.. Picketzo.
In a few minutes both OF the men ap-
peared. and gravely took seats beside
the captain.
Mr.. Hicke," began Captain Rogers.
II believe the suggestion you gave me
this afternoon was a pretty good one,
after all. Ny friendship for Mr.. Bon
ner here made me laugh at It at first.
The lack of motive made me doubt II

changed my mind from something L

Your suggestion was good, but 1

presently" replied the officer.
Then he turned TO Hicke again and
asked him 10 repeat the story he had
told the captain that morning.
Without hesitation Hicke broke forth
on a story that was utterly new 20
Fben. and showed evidence of having
been made out of whole cloth.
He affirmed that ne had heard Eben
talking in his sleep about changing the
COMPASS. and Picketzo witnessed all that
Hicke said. whether he heard II or not
Bonner could not stand this testimony
knowing It to be untrue. He broke IN

The statement did not seem to bother

Nash and willing 70 listen to any doubts
that might be brought forward concern

He repeated 70 Bonner the fact that
Nash had been caught with the goods
