The Escape.

The grind of the wheels under the
brakes had hardly ceased when high
official OF the court of Grahoffen
sprang aboard the train, looking this
way and that eXpectantly, peering
through the windows and doors OF
coach after coach. But he did not find

the last car of the train, at last he
half-stumbled over the limp form OF
Bartel lying on the floor where Ro-
leau's arm had flung him, neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Here's
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them, men!"
But now some sort of answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was point
ing beyond the train up the mountain.
side. The official sprang forward.

done this" cried he. They have what

A band of mounted men an instant
later rode out of the station in full
pursuit of the fugitives. They raced
down the road. toward bridge which
