white-faced, shrieking, stumbled into
the room-and at their heels came

fell upon the face Of young Brockett,

yell rang out, and, staggering straight
at the man he thought he slew two

Flynn, after satisfying himself that
the Filipino was unframed save from

"Madre dc Dios," came a new and
trembling tone from the same bunk
whence the voice of the negro had
just issued, Il am YER sorry mex en-
trance here. care not, not me. to see
ghosts. Ay de mil hat de good rea-
sonl"
The air thickened again with the
smoke Of opium, and the voices died
down to soft, uncertain whispers.
Brockett wriggled from the bunk. and
Solano was just extricating himself
from the narrow limits of the smok-
ing-den, when there came the sound of
a sudden struggle only a few feet
away. Humping blows, hoarse cries
of surprise and rage, and the cracking
Of the woodwork under agitated feet
and hands made up a startling mixture
of noises Heads protruded from the
half dozen hunks around the room;
the Chinaman and the mulatto woman,
rising from their chairs, came hurry
ing toward the scene of trouble-and
then the curtains OF one bunk were
violently burst asunder. A writhing,
fighting heap fell heavily to the floor,
and a huge black man, extrioating him.
self with great heave Of knees and
shoulders, rose up gigantic In the
smoky room. Round his knees chung
a smaller man, striving frantically to
drag the giant down. Big Sam, with
a beastlike snarl, drove his massive
fist upon the head of the clinging en-
envy. but did not break him from his
hold. The smaller man tugged mad
ly; big Sam, caught off balance, fell
like a severed tree, and before he
could rise something flashed in the
blue murk of the room. Big Sam,
with hoarse gurgle, Strengthened out
upon the floor. The little man sprang
up, knife in his blood-spattered hand,
and reached quickly into the clothing
of his victim. AS he fumbled in the
negroes pockets, the Chinaman struck
him with a billet of wood, and the
mulatto woman caught his knife-hand.
The three dusky fighters rolled and
grappled. upsetting the miserable fur

hideous uproar began outside the
threshold, and a scream of THE

Eat With Your Fingers

Devour your food like a lion" and
you Danish indigestion. This advice,
which controverts the well-known
maxim of "eat your food slowly" is
the considered opinion OF three doc
tors as the best cure for inability to
eat a square meal.
Such an unorthodox mode OF deal
ing with dyspepsia was first suggest
ed by a doctor in a spirit Of frolic, but
on talking the matter over with Har-
ley street specialist. and also with
family doctor with a large London
practice. 1t was found that doctors
scout the suggestion that there Is any
thing funny in 1t at all

CHAPTER XXI.

The missing property safe in the
hands of its rightful custodlans-
through sheer good fortune, not
through skill or Sherlock Holmes
sagacity-and only limited space of
time remaining for the journey to the
Rio Grande. 1t was only natural that
the young messengers should wish to
hurry on their road. They did not in
terrogate either the wounded negro or
the captive Filipino, much as they
would have desired to do so, for Meth
er was In condition to stand an inter-
view. They did manage, however, to
get this information, through the good
offices Of Flynn: that It was not the
Filipino from whom the giant African
had wrested the belt in the corridor
of the hotel. How big Sam had fall
en- in with Aguilar, how the islander
probed the secret of the negro's sud-
den afluence. and how he also learned
OF the more valuable contents Of the
belt-these were mysteries reserved
for later solution. The boys were glad
enough, under present circumstances,
to regain their property and be on
their way.
They were standing near the SER
geant's desk in the police station on
the following morning, bidding good
bys to the big officers who had done
so much to aid them, when a little
bunch Of harness bulls" came in,
hustling a clump of intoxicated pris-
oners to the cells below. Two or three
Of the captives could hardly keep their
feet; the group swayed and weaved
from side to side like some huge,
broken-legged animal, and the boys
were almost trampled under the I'M
certain feet of the DRINKS and their
guardians. AS they broke ground to
get free from the crowd, Brockett
thought a hand sought his pocket,
and, warned by the painful memory
of recent happenings, snatched quick
ly at 1t. He caught nothing. Hur-
riedly thrusting his hand into his
pocket. he brought UP a scrap of pa
per, dingy and thumb-marked, but
criss-crossed with the sign OF a IA
miliar code.
Stepping over to the window he
read, scrawled upon the dirty paper,
these hieroglyphs:
81 TIC A SH FA SH TIC Fla Pc SH
3BH Pos T SH A TIC W SH Pc Fin r
BA TO 9BH Pos e L SH E l. SH.
R TIC e TO ER 3 Fin SH TIC 2 w TO

TO SBH sH w HR 2 L TO W Fin R
TO HR TIC Il L."
Some people have more luck than
sense. Continue on route till further
instructions" Brockett translated.
The adventures which had their
climax in the opium Joint gave Brock
EFT and Solano plenty Of material for
discussion as they rolled out on a
southwestern train. This time the
messengers made no attempt to dis
guise their course, but went straight
to the station, bought their tickets
and climbed aboard. Instead OF pur-
chasing the red or yellow slips which
license you to toss about in the berths
of the Pullman, however, they decided
to stay In the seats of the day-coach
and get what sleep they could, while
alternate three-hour watches were
agreed on as the best way OF tending
on any possible trouble. The man

who really wants to get you" re-
Dmarked Solano, sagely, has a much
better chance in a Pullman than in an
ordinary day-coach, and you take ten
times as many risks for your extra
money"
Before beginning the night watches
the youngsters traversed the whole
train, passing through the sleepers on
their way to the dining car, and salts
aed themselves that none of their en-
emies had started on the same jour
ney. No German nobleman, big gruff,
and devoted to his kaiser; no cat-like
Japanese, no sinking Filipinos, were
to be seen from smoker to diner, and,
as none of the berths we're made up
early, there was no possibility OF a
concealed antagonist crouching behind
the green curtains. After supper they
returned to their red-plushed perches,
and spent three hours discussing the
happenings at Chicago, or the adven-
lures yet to come.
Solano fished from some inner peck
ct tiny Anglo-Spanfsh textbook, and
urged its Importance upon his COM
panion. You may need to know a
few words of the language before very
long," he insisted. land now is as
good a time to begin learning as any"
why not let me carry the book?"
responded Brockett. Then, II a Mex
lean starts any conversation, can
simply dig up the -book and read him

Good idea," assented Solano, 'ex-
cept in emergency cases. Suppose a
large, thick revolutionist, of the bone
head variety, asks you to give a quick
account of yourself, and has rifle
pointed at you while he is asking?
And suppose, also, that he gives you,
in Spanish, a time limit of two min
utes to make good? Are you going to
resurrect the book, begin with the
sentence, The dog of my uncle has
bitten the left leg of the COW belong
ing to my father, and go down the
pages till you find the proper SEN
tence for the exigency?"
Brockett chortled. to the intense an
noyance of an elderly lady across the
aisle, and seized the book. He i'm
mersed himself in its pages till ten
o'clock, when it was time for the first
watch to begin-a duty which had
fallen to Brockett by the Tipping OF a
penny. Closing the book, he leaned
back against the plush, resolved to
keep his eyes open and give Solano a
fair chance for his three-hour nap
and discovered, as he gazed on his
companion, that the Cuban had stolen
an indefinite space of time upon him
and was already sound asleep.
Nothing happened to disturb the
travellers through the night, but the
alienation of three-hour periods left
them In a more or less drowsy. half
dazed condition when morning came.
The train was bowling along through
the half-fenced, half-cultivated fields
Of Arkansas; Solano was nodding in
his seat, and Brockett was trying to
absorb some more Of the Anglo-Span-
ish sentences, when a slowing up, a
Kissing Of slackened steam and a Jar
ring stop announced arrival in the
town Of Little Rock. Gazing from the
windows the boys were finding consid-
