II have nothing against you," mumbled
Baldwin, feeling his throat.
"Well, then," cried the other, relapsing in
moment into bluff joviality, eve are all
good friends again, and there's an end of the
matter"
He took bottle of champagne down from
the shelf and twisted out the cork.
"See now" he continued, as he filled three
high glasses. "Let us drink the quarreling toast
of the lodge. After that, as you know, there
can be no bad blood between us. Now then,

to you, Ted Baldwin, what is the offense, Sir?"
"The clouds are heavy" answered Baldwin.
"But they will forever brighten"
"And this I swear!"
The men drank their glasses, and the same
ceremony was performed between Baldwin
and McNIurdo.
"There!" cried McGinty, rubbing his hands.
"That's the end of the black blood. You
come under lodge discipline if it goes further,
and that's heavy hand in these parts, as
Brother Baldwin knows as you will
damn soon find out Brother McMurdo, if
you ask for trouble"
Faith, I'd be slow to do that" said Nc
Murdo He held out his hand to Baldwin.
"I'm quick to quarrel and quick to forgive.
It's my hot Irish blood, they tell me. But
it's over for me, and l bear no grudge."
Baldwin had to take the proffered hand,
for the baleful eye of the terrible Boss was
upon him; but his sullen face showed how
little the words of the other had moved him.
McGinty clapped them both on the Shout
ders. "Tut! These girls! These girls" he cried.
"To think that the same petticoats should

quarters at the Widow MacNamara's on the
extreme outskirts of the town. Seaman, his
original acquaintance aboard the train, had
occasion shortly afterward to move into
Vermissa, and the two lodged together. There
was no other boarder, and the hostess was
an easy-going old Irishwoman who left them
to themselves; so that they had freedom for
speech and action welcome to men who had
secrets in common.
Shafter had reented to the extent of letting
McMurdo come to his meals there when he
liked; so that his intercourse with Elite was
bv no means broken. On the contrary, 1t
drew closer and more intimate as the weeks
went by.
In his bedroom at his new abode McMurdo
felt it safe to take out the coming molds, and
under many pledge of secrecy number OF
brothers from the lodge were allowed to come
in and see them, each carrying away in his
pocket some samples of the false money, SO
cunning1y struck that there was never the
slightest difficulty or danger in passing it.
Why, with such wonderful art at his COM
mand, McMurdo should condescend to work
at all was perpetual mystery to his COM
panions; though he made it clear to anyone
who asked him that if he lived without any
visible means it would very quickly bring the
police upon his track
One policeman was indeed after him al
ready but the incident, as luck would have
it, did the adventurer great deal more good
than HARM After the first introduction there
were few evenings when he did not find his
way to McGinty's saloon, there to make
closer acquaintance with "the boys" which
was the jovial title by which the dangerous
gang who infested the place were known to
one another His dashing manner and fear
lessness of speech made him a favorite with
them all; while the rapid and scientific way

The Councillor sprang at him like tiger.
His hand closed round the others neck, and he
hurled him back across one of the barrels In
his mad fury he would have squeezed the life
out of him if McMurdo had not interfered.
"Easy, Councillor! For Heavens sake go
easv." he cried, as he dragged him back.
McGinty released his hold, and Baldwin,
cowed and shaken, gasping for breath, and
shivering in every limb, as one who has looked
over the very edge of death, sat up on the
barrel over which he had been hurled.
"You'v We been asking for it this many day,
