legs briskly.
I'VE ought to give him to the village

That's the law of 1t. but not the
common sense. The lords of Justice
would demand to know all the why
and wherefores, and the Italian consul
at Chicago would come down and make
fuss, and the man behind the dago

they've been very groggy. What he
wants Is his million from Miss Pat,
and he has own chivalrous notions Of
collecting it,
We decided finally to leave the man
free. but to take away his boat. Giles
pie was disposed to make light of
the whole affair. now that we had got
on with our lives. We searched the
hut for weapons and ammunition and
having collected several knives and
belt and revolver from the trunk, we
poured water on the Italian, carried
him into the open and loosened the
ropes with which Gillespie had tied
him.
The man glared at us flercely and
muttered incoherently for few min
utes, but after Gillespie had dashed
another pail Of water on him he stood
up and was tame enough.
Tell him." said Gillespie, that we
shall not kill him to-day Tell him
that this being Tuesday we shall
spare his life-that we never kill any
one on Tuesday. but that we shall
come back tomorrow and make shark
meat Of him. Assure him that we are

He shook his head and declared that
he did not know.
How long did he hire you for?"
For all summer" He pointed to
the sloop, and got It out of him that
he had been hired in New York to
come to the lake and sail 1t.

But It was not he who was with
you on the houseboat In the creek. Mr.
Holbrook was not there. Do not lie
to me. Who was the other man that
wanted you to kill Holbrook?"
He appeared mystified, and Giles
pie, to whom l had told nothing of my
encounter at the boat-maker's, looked
from one to the other of US with 9

Now is the time for you to come to
their assistance.

them from getting into the country to
stay without having paid their passage

too drastic, but it has been favorably
