"RABBIT" A BLIND TIGER.
Locked in Cell, But Let Out After Mid
night by Unknown Parties.

Policeman Turner worked up case
against John Wilson, colored, better
known as Rabbit" Mr.. Turner and
Chief Lominack, who were aware t1at
Rabbit was tiger, searched his house
Monduy ctterncon about ) o'clock, af-
ter arresting him. They found no
whiskey ON the premises, but had
proof of his selling.
Rabbit was accordingly escorted to
the guard house and locked up to get
good nights rest so as to be pre-
pared for presentation on Tuesday
morning in the recorders court to an
swer to the charge of Wthiskey selling.
Midnight of Monday came and all
was WELL If Rabbit Was not asleep
he was in his cell thinking thoughts.
Chief had seen that everything in the
quarters was all right up to that time,
and things were in the same condition
when he left his Office at the opera
house and went home.
That was { minutes past l o'clock,
OF LOS to make it short. But some
time between then and dawn of Tues
day, party or parties as yet unknown
to the authorities effected the escape
of Rabbit fro mthe clutches of the law.
The liberation was conducted intel
ligently, and was managed by mas
ter hand, except that it was so easy,
showing that the liberator knew ex-
actly how to do it. The man behind
the grating didn't have to show his
hand in it, the man outside knew what
he was about, and must have been in
terested in getting the prisoner out.
After the chief had retired and the
officer of the night was on his rounds
away from the opera house corner, the
man or men interested entered the
office through the window, pulled out
the desk drawer, got the key to the
cell, and went around and unlocked
the cell door, plainly showing that the
party knew "the lay of the land"
The strange part of this near-mi-
raculous escape is that Rabbits friend
in need and friend in deed didn't leave
the key in the lock. He left mystery
to be solved. In the morning when the
officers made the rounds of the house
they found Rabbit gone. The lock
was hanging in the hasp. The key
was in the drawer where the chief
mad left it after turning in the blind
tiger agent for the night. The man
who opened the cell door and gave
the prisoner his liberty, deliberately
and presumably slowly. taking time,
went back to the chiefs office and put
the key where and how he had found
it. Mysterious performance that
smacks of ghosts and hobgoblins. A
scared man would have left the key in
the lock, but that man didn't seem to
be in a hurry from all appearances.
In the circumstances it is supposed
that Rabbit didn't run like, scared
tiger, but just walked out.
Chief Lominack would rather find
out who turned Rabbit out than to
recapture Rabbit, although he wants
to, and eventually will, get the escap-
ed prisoner and make him tell how it
was done.

Hefferom drew a long breath. "Ah,

He drew her into the refreshment
room. She declined to drink, but she
sat in a corner while he disposed of
several whiskies and sodas. At first
he would say nothing, and she waited.
Presently he began.

us off in his car and told the man to
drive up to the nearest railway station,
l did not protest. You think that l
should have made a scene there? 1t
wasn't worth while. Deane's coming
gave the whole game away. Don't you
really understand"
Not a word" she answered.
Listen, then. Stirling Deane is the
man who is supposed to be the owner
of the Little Anna Gold Mine, which
was really your Uncle Sinclair's."
She looked at him with cleaning
eyes. "Say that again" she said. Il
don't quite understand"
"The deed which is missing from
your Uncle Sinclair's effects" Hefferom
said slowly, "is the title deed to the
Little Anna Gold Mine That mine was

which he is now president, at an enor-
