skipped GlenVllIe anu
next town.
Alec Humbert and 81 Hoover were
holding consultation. Presently 81
stepped up to the platform and sa.u'
"Get my horse, and there's 10 ooi'
lars in 1t for you" :.

well. He did not care 80 much ABOUT
the reward. 1t would be the favor
that he would be doing for GlenVAlle'
He would try, however, to locate It,
81 Hoover was then ordered to the
platform. and the doctor went through
the same maneuvers. 1t appeared 10
him that there was sort OF valley
around Glenville somewhere that was
rather remote. 1t could not De
reached by road. He could see
horse there, the thief probably wait
ing for a chance to take 1t away.
He then raised his eyes from the
crystal and stared at the audience
He had never been round that part OF
the country, he explained, and mlghI
be mistaken. But he thought not
Several of the older men instantly
confirmed the doctors statement con
cerning the valley They also knew
the way to get there. 1t was moon
light, so Hoover and two others
started horseback for the valley.
Everybody looked at the doctor
marveling. This he Immediately took
advantage of by selling an immense
quantity of medicine.
There was no use for the doctor
to stay up any longer. 1t was grow
ing late, he said, and, being extremely
tired, he would go to the hotel and
retire.
Long before the doctor was up in
the morning, it was voiced all about
Glenville that he was the greatest
wonder that they had ever seen. 81
Hoover and his party had returned al
two o'clock with his horse 1t was ex

pocket. One thing he had forgotten
Why did he not find out who did 1t
This he would do.
It was late when the doctor rose
He said he was sick. His head hur
him. He guessed he would leave OF
the noon train. He was glad to hea
that his reading had been correct.
81 Hoover and Alec Humbert wer
the ones who had been appointed tt
interview him. He did not care mucl
about the SIS. It was more of
favor. Perhaps, he said, he would no
feel like working at his bushes
again for several days.
But this did not satisfy Glenvillt
They were worked up to a high pitcl
They were not going to let him q

sent back to the doctors room.

They wanted vengeance.
1t appeared that there was a caver
inclosed with rocks somewhere aroun
GlenVille, the doctor could not sa
just where; but he could see mir
horses there.
