For some time we followed After
sons footsteps and then found that
they left the road,
We moved on quietly and saw tina,
not fifty yards ahead Of us a man was
walking excitedly up and down. His
head was sunk upon his chest in an
attitude Of the utmost despair. He
waved his hands, and on the still air
there came to us the sound Of his
monotonous muttering.
We crept upon him. AS we did SO
Hobson leaped forward and, swapping
his handouts on the mans wrists,
cried:
Cecil Atterson, I've got you!"
"By the way, I'd like to hear ex-
actly what I'm charged with" said
Atterson.
Theft Of 100000 from the Grand
banks. May as we'll hand them over
and put me to no more trouble"
Hobson plunged his hand into At
terson's pockets and searched him
thoroughly, but found nothing.
They are not on him." he cried.
TRY his pack"
From the pack November produced
a square bottle Of whisky. some bread,
salt, a slab of mutton-that was all.
Where have you hidden the stuff?"
demanded Hobson.
Suddenly Atterson laughed.
80 you think I robbed the bank?'
he said. 1--WE my own down on them,
and I'm glad they've been hit by some
one, though I'm not the man. Any
way, I'll have you and them for

concentrated attention. Atterson had
sunk down under tree like a man
wearied out.
Hobson and Joe made a rapid ex-
animation Of the vicinity. A few yards
brought them to the end Of Atterson's
tracks.
Here's where he slept" said Hob
son. Its all pretty clear. He was
dog tired and just collapsed. I guess
that was last night. It's an old camp
ing place, this. But where has he
cached the banks property"
For upward Of an hour Hobson
searched every conceivable spot. But
not so November Joe. who, after a
couple Of quick casts down to the riv-
er, made a fire, put on the kettle and
lit his pipe.
At length Hobson ceased his exer-
tions and accepted a cup Of tea Joe
had brewed.
There's nothing cached round
here, and his trail stops right where
he slept. He never moved foot be-
yond that nor went down to the river,
100 yards away. The chaps either
cached them or handed them to an
accomplice on the back trail. think
