days Halsey lay in the box car tied
hand and foot, suffering tortures of
thirst, delirious at times, and discov-
cred by a tramp at townsville only in
time to save his life.
To go back to Paul Armstrong. At
tho last moment his plans had been
frustrated, Sunnyside, with its hoard
in the chimney room, had been rented
without his knowledge, Attempts to
dislodge 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 desperate attempt to get

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-sacriicing 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

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.

found the house rented. Not knowing
what to do, she sent for Arnold at the
Greenwood club, and told him a little. F.
