Hunters XIII Bio Grizzly.

The monster grizzly bear that for
years has been making many sleepless
nights for the farmers, miners and
residents Of the northwestern Trinity
region has at last been slain.
This monarch Of the forest and
slayer .of small domestic animals was
killed by Thomas Mcdonald, a wealthy
mining man who has been camping
along the Salmon range in Trinity.
Single-handed Mcdonald, who is a
mountaineer Of marked ability, killed
the bear after a lively tussle.
The bear weighed 1000 pounds, and
is the finest and biggest specimen
ever seen in the Trinity mountain re-.

fed all efforts to capture or kill him.

CHAPTER xxxIIl.-contlnued.

AS Alex and I reached the second
floor, Mr.. Jameson met us. He was
grave and quiet, and he nodded COM
prehendingly when he saw the safe.
"Will you come with me for mo.
ment, Miss Innes?" he asked soberly,
and on my asserting, he led the way
to the east wing. There were lights
moving around below, and some of
the maids were standing gaping down.
They screamed when they saw me,
and drew back to let me pass. There
was a sort of hush over the scene;
Alex, behind me, muttered something
I could not hear, and brushed past me
without ceremony. Then I realized
that man was lying doubled up at
the foot Of the staircase, and that
Alex was STOPPING over him.
AS I came slowly down, Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself, looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand he held shaggy gray wig, and
before me on the floor lay the man
whose headstone stood in Casanova
churchyard-Paul Armstrong.
Winters told the story in a dozen
words. In his headlong flight down
the circular staircase, with Winters
just behind, Paul Armstrong had
pitched forward violently, struck his
head against the door to the east ver-
anda, and probably broken his neck.
He had died as Winters reached him.
AS the detective finished, saw Hal
sey, pale and shaken, in the card
room doorway, and for the first time
that night lost my self-control. I put
my arms around my boy, and for
moment he had to support me. A sec.
ond later, over Halsey's shoulder,
saw something that turned my emo.
tion into other channels, for behind
him, in the shadowy cardroom, were

was unable to speak. Twice I
opened my mouth; then I turned Hal
sey around and pointed. They were
quite unconscious Of us; her head was
on his shoulder, his face against her
hair. AS it happened, it was Mr..
Jameson who broke up the tableau.
He stepped over to Alex and
touched him on the arm.
"And now," he said quietly. "how
long are you and I to play our little
comedy, Mr.. Bailey?"
The pioneer express., 1910-12-23

ne anu Louise nad no conversation
together until that night. Gertrude
and Alex-I mean Jack-had gone for
a walk, although it was nine o'clock,
and anybody but pair of young geese
would have known that dew was fall
ing, and that it is next to impossible
to get rid Of a summer cold.
At half after nine, growing weary
OF my own company, I went down.
stairs to find the young people. At
the door of the living room I paused.
Gertrude and Jack had returned and
were there. sitting together on a
divan, with only one lamp lighted.
They did not see or hear me, and I
beat a hasty retreat to the library,
But here again I was driven back.
Louise was sitting in deep chair,
looking the happiest I had ever seen
her, with Halsey on the arm of the
chair, holding her close.
The next day, by degrees, I got the
whole story.
Paul Armstrong had a besetting
evil-the love Of money. Common
enough, but he loved money, not for
what it would buy, but for its own sake.
An examination of the books showed
no irregularities in the past year
since John had been cashier, but be.
fore that, in the time of Anderson, the
old cashier, who had died, much
strange juggling had been done with
the records. The railroad in New
Mexico had apparently drained the
bankers private fortune, and he de-
termined to retrieve it by one stroke.
This was nothing less than the loot
ing of the banks securities, turning
them into money, and making his es-
cape.
But the law has long arms. Paul
Armstrong evidently studied the situa-
tion carefully. Just as the only good
Indian is dead Indian, so the only
safe defaulter is dead defaulter. He
decided to die, to all appearances, and
when the hue and cry subsided. he
would be able to enjoy, his money al
most anywhere he wished.
The first necessity was an accom-.
plice. The connivance of DR.. Walker
was suggested by his love for Louise.
The man was INSCRIPTIONS, and with
the girl as bait, Paul Armstrong
soon had him fast. The plan was ap-
parently the acme OF simplicity: A
small town in the west, an attack of
heart disease, body from a medical
college dissecting room shipped in a
trunk to DR.. Walker by colleague in
San Francisco, and palmed of for the
supposed dead banker. What was
simpler?
+ The woman, Nina Darlington, was
the cog that slipped. What she only
suspected, what she really knew, we
never learned. She was a chamber.
maid in the hotel at c.. and It was
evidently her intention to blackmail
DR.. Walker. His position at that time
was uncomfortable: To pay the won.
an to keep quiet would be confession.
He denied the whole thing, and she
went to Ha1sey.
It was that that had taken Halsey
to the doctor the night he disap-
peared. He accused the. doctor of the
deception, and. crossing the lawn. had
said something cruel to Louise. Then,
furious at her apparent connivance,
he had started for the station. Dr..

10 go back to Paul Armstrong. At
the last moment his plans had been
frustrated. Sunnyside. with it's hoard
IN the chimney room, had been rented
without his knowledge! Attempts to
dtslodge me having failed, he was
driven to breaking into his own house.
The ladder in the chute. the burning
of the stable and the entrance through
the cardroom window-all were in the
course of a desperate attempt to get
into the chimney room.
Louise and her mother had. from
the first, been the great stumbling.
blocks. The plan had been to send
Louise away until it was too late for
her to interfere, but she came back
to the hotel at c. just at the
wrong time. There was a terrible
scene. The girl was told that some.
thing of the kind was necessary: that
the bank was about to close and her
stepfather would either avoid arrest
and disgrace in this way, or kill him
self. Fanny Armstrong was a weak.
ling, but Louise was more difficult to
manage. She had no love for her STEP
father, but her devotion to her moth
er was entire, self-sacrificing. Forced
into acquiescence by her mothers ap-
peals, overwhelmed by the situation,
the girl consented and fled.
From somewhere in Colorado she
sent an anonymous telegram to Jack
Bailey at the Traders bank. Trapped
as she was, she did not want to see
an innocent man arrested. The tele-
gram, received on Thursday, had. sent
the cashier to the bank that night in
frenzy.
Louise arrived at Sunnyside and
found the house rented. Not knowing
what to do, she sent for Arnold at the
Greenwood club, and told him little,
not all. She told him that there was
something wrong, and that the bank
was about to close. That his father
was responsible. OF the conspiracy
she said nothing. To her surprise,
Arnold already knew, through Bailey
that night. that things were not right.
Moreover, he suspected what Louise
did not. that the money was hidden at
Sunnyside. He had scrap Of paper

His inherited cupidity was aroused
Eager to get Halsey and Jack Bailey
out OF the house. he went up to the
