ever, and after trudging another mile
Murray sat down In the shade to rest
and cool himself. He wished to cross
the river, but so far had found no
way Of doing so, and while lying lazily
on his back considering the situation,
it occurred to him that the river was
not so very wide as to prevent his
voice reaching the opposite side. Ac-
cordingly he set up a succession Of
stentorian bowls, which he repeated
at frequent intervals. He became in
terested in the echoes and shouted
Justify, changing the tune occasionally
to a shrill whistle which was tossed
back to him on the feeting winds.
Suddenly there came an answering
screech, and Murray sat up and looked
across the river. On the opposite bank
stood a woman, screaming to know
what was the matter.
Il want to cross the river shouted
Murray.
How much will you give me If I

The Frenchman led him to the home
Of Dobbin, whom Murray accosted
with the fact that he had a warrant
for his arrest. 'lsf sg4ss#

roared. and then turned ferociously
upon the little F%renchman. "And you

The sentence broke on in d demoni-
acal howl of fury, and Dobbin charged
~savagely at his betrayer, brandishing
his scythe. Shrieking dolefully, the
little Frenchman sprang away and
bounded across the field with the
ayenging Dobbin in hot pursuit.
Murray, Looping ~leisurely along,
came up and caught Dobbin by the
arm. He was too far gone for lack
of breath to offer any resistance, and
the detective slipped a pair OF hand
cuffs on his wrists, inwardly congrat-
ulating himself on the happy train of
circumstances which had helped to
make the capture easy. AS he turned

his attention was attracted by a
piercing wall from the Frenchman.

and was beginning to settle fast, too,
but it was evident that he must pro-
coed to satisfy the greedy boatman's
demands according to the latter's Inn
posed schedule. Twisting to one side,
he managed to reach his pocket and
secure another dollar bill, which he
tossed to the Frenchman who q
rescued the first greenback when the
limb broke and the stick fell in the
water. The financier whirled his boat
around and shot the light end in to

On reaching the farm house with
his prisoner Murray found no one
within, but in a little while Dobbin's
wife and sistel made their appearance.
When the former caught sight of the
handcufs on her husbands wrists,
she turned swiftly and made for the
wood-pile in the yard, while the sister
ran down the cellar stairs. Murray
and his prisoner were in the kitchen,
