vey of the stables revealed the ab- sence of Harrington's favorite mare which Gentleman Dick had borrowed to carry him to the border. There was over $1 900 gone and the infuri- ated cow-punchers swore bitterly as they realized that their payday would probably be postponed for a couple of weeks, until Harrington obtained fresh funds. Of course it didn't take great while to get band of vengeful pursuers together and very soon quirt and spur were being used unmerci- fully in the effort to oVcrtake the daring thief.
 But considerable time was lost in argument over the probable course taken by Gentleman Dick, as the trail was not particularly easy to pick iip in the darkness. Moreover that far seeing swindler knew what he was doing when he selected Harrngton's mare for a mount, for ii was the boast of the owner of the Lone Star that the animal in question could show clean pair of hind hoofs to any piece of HOfSeueSH III ludl SeClluH OI tue country. Taking all these things into consideration it seemed to me that Dick stood pretty fair chance of making a successful getaway.

Besides which l would not have cared to assist at the termination of the man hunt, supposing that the cow punchers caught up to their quarry.

 Harrington good naturedly agreed 70 play his part and Gentleman Dick retired behind the curtain, At the ex- piration of five minutes the owner raised the curtain, revealing an empty box. So far the magician had made good his word, but the audience sat expectant, awaiting the blooming of the rose bush and return of the gifted professor For ten minutes longer they waited patiently but the flower pot remained empty, and Dick had not put in an appearance.
 Harrington grinned at me.
 Perhaps Leahy's magic has slipped another coz" he suggested. Il sup pose he made his exit by that window. but the return in a mystic shape may not be so easy, and something seems to have gone wrong with the flower pot apparatus"
 I was about to reply when the sound of horses hoofs striking rapidly upon the road in the distance smote upol ny edI s lHe leSt ol tho auui ence heard it too and every one lis tened curiously as the sound gradually died away.

four horsemen came in sight of the cabin where old Daman resided. It was perched upon the bluffs with steep declivities upon three sides and on the other a stretch of open ground. There were no signs of anyone stir ring within and the door was fast. After halting for a moment to discuss the situation they Spurred their horses and advanced toward the unprotected side of the cabin at gallop. Sudden ly pun of smoke issued from be tween the logs of the cabin, a rife cracked sharply and bullet snarled viciously through the air.
 The four pulled up sharply. dis mounted, led their horses to a safe dis tance and having tied them securely sought cover behipd convenient powders and returned the fire. There was no reply from the cabin and the sheriff judging that one of their bull. lets had found living target behind the cabin walls, led his companions in rush forward. Immediately another spurt of smoke and whzzing bullets came from the cabin, and although no body was hit, they deemed it best to seek cover again,
 The only attack that could be made on the miniature fortress was from in front, as the steep declivities of the bluff on three sides made approach in any other direction impossible Real izing this the members of the posse settled down for long siege. It was late i'll the afternoon when the firing was no longer returned from the cabin. but the assailantS. fearful lest the si- lence might be a ruse, thought it safest to wait until nightfall before making a final attack.
 When darkness came they made concerted rush for the cabin and burst in the door. All was dark inside and when a flare was kindled. they saw the figure of woman lying prostrate

spending Christmas. I had seen by far too many such dramatic wind ups in the past.
 As it ChanCrd. however, the em- ployes of the Lone Star were not des- tined to lay their hands upon Gentle man Dick. They followed his trail doggedly enough, managed to obtain mounts when their horses gave out and. having enlisted the services of the sheriff, three of them took mp the chase again the following day. It was supposed that Leahy had broke for the hills and Marston. who had been more or less chummy with the fugitive. remembered that he had spoken frequently of a certain girl one Inez Daman who lived alone with her father, an eccentric old chap, in an isolated spot known as Ganberg $ Bluff The trail led in this direction and Marston having communicated his information to his three companions they pressed determinedly ahead.
 q happen to know that old man Daman went away a few days ago and isn't expected back till next week, said Marston as they rode onward.
 How about the girl does he leave her there alone?" demanded Harring- ton, who. spurred on by q sense Of the ridcule as well as loss to which he had been subjected, had insisted upon accompanying the sheriff.
 She's quite able to look out for her self" returned Marston. significantly From what I've heard of her she's a regular little wild cat, and shes sure gone on Leahy. If shes with him when we get in range, we're more than likely to have her to reckon with as well as him and she's no slouch with a gun. either

I will ask the combination to work by force of my will power and you can take some of the boys over to your is, you can close 1t and tear up the pa per so that nobody will be a bit the wiser as to the combination"
 Harrington wrote out the combina- tion as requested and sealed the pa per up in an envelope. Gentleman Dick took it, pressed the envelope against his forehead and murmured few unintelligible words. That done. he handed it back to Harrington who accompanied by myself and Jake An drews walked over to the office. A single glance assured us that Gentle man Dicks magic had played him false on this occasion, for the safe was securely fastened We returned to the barn and Harrington informed the magician that his trick had failed to materialize. Gentleman Dick looked a trife downcast for a moment, but recovered himself quickly.
 "Ill try it again later on, MT. Har- rington." he said apologetically. May be I didn't bring the right pressure to bear on the object Put the envelope in your pocket and I'll let my power rest a while Meanwhile I'll perform another feat a little illusion stunt called the Strange Disappearance,'
 From the side wings, built of big packing cases, he hauled forth small table with an empty flower pot upon 1t.

I will hand it to MT, Marston and ask him to lock it."
 He suited the action to the word and Marston did as he was requested.
 Now try to open it without unlock ing it." commanded the magician.
 Marston tried, but the cover re- mained fast.
 Gentleman Dick smiled in superior fashion, took the box from Marston, placed 1t against his head and spoke some mystic words.
 'Try it now" he said, handing the box back to his assistant.
 Marston caught hold of the cover and raised it easily. He had retained the key while Dick was going through his muttering performance with the box, therefore it seemed evident to the surprised audience that Leahy's wonder working mind had alone per suaded the lock to release it's grip Loud applause followed and Dick then announced that with the aid of the boss, to place his act above suspicion, he would perform still greater miracle.
 "Mr. Harrington" he asked. does anybody present know the combina- tion of your safe?"
 "No sir" returned the owner em- phatically.
 Good" said Leahy. Now will you be kind enough to write the combina- tion on this sheet of paper and seal it up securely in this blue envelope. al lowing nobody else to look at it. Then

Autopsy Shows Death of John A.
Edwards Was Either Acct.

HOME THREE WEEKS
Said to Have Been Despondent
Because of Loss of Place
with Steel Trust.


The body of John A. Edwards. Of 1s1
Walnut street. north, East Orange.
found floating in the North river. of
West Niuety-sixth street. Manhattan,
was brought home today and funeral
services will be held at the house
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Edwards,
who was formerly in charge of the
sales department of the United States
Steel Corporation, disappeared from
home on April Is last.
Coroner Hamburger, Of New York, told
the STAR over the long distance teIe-
phone today that an autopsy held today
by Coroner's Physician Weston failed
to reveal upon the body any signs of
violence.
we can only conclude said Cor
oner Hamburger. that Edwards either
fell into the river from a pier acci-
dentally or deliberately took his life.
There is no way of knowing, of course.
The body had been in the river about
ten days and such marks as were found
on it were due to collisions with piers
or passing boats. There is absolutely
not the slightest ground for believing
Edwards was murdered and that his
body was thrown into the river"
John Twomey, a gunner in the State
Naval Reserve, saw the body floating
in the river and the police Of the West
Tooth street station were notified. They
brought the body to the shore. A pos

TO his Identification, There was no sus-
picion Of foul play. Chief James Bell
was notified about 2 o'clock and with
Arthur Edwards, son Of the dead man,
went to the morEue. He was attired
n the same clothing he wore when he
went away. and he had all his jewelry
and other articles.
Every possible effort was made to get
some trace of Mr.. Edwards By his FAM
ily and police and Royal Arcanum. Of
which he was a member. His descrip-
ton was sent broadcast. A friend saw
him at the East Orange depot of the
Lackawanna railroad and it was
thought he stopped at Newark
While in business Mr.. Edwards was
very SUCCESSFUL Dut he was 1natly Sue
ceeded by a younger man. He went in
to another business. but retired soon
afterward. and he seemed Respondent
since. though his family. to whom he
was greatly attached. tried TO cheer
him.
Mr.. Edwards was S. years old and
had lived in East Orange for thirty
five years. When he last left home his
family thought he was going for a short
walk. a daily practise with him since he
retired from business, fou years ago.
He did not return at noon and when
he was still absent at night the police
were asked TO loo for him.
A week after Mr.. Edwards dissp-
peared his description was sent to the
police in the principal cities of the
country and a watch was put on the
steamship piers at New York. 1t wa.
thought Mr.. Edwards might sail for
England. he having come from there 10

Mr.. Edwards is survived by a widow.
four daughters and one son, and has Z
