He almost dropped the reins.
"Didn't-tell your"
/ nodded.
"You're bluffin'," he said roughly.
"Come across with that info, Or"
tried to keep cool.
II think you forget yourself, Captain.
1t would be very serious thing for you
if you jailed priest without being able
to substantiate criminal charges against
him. In fact" 1 continued meditatively,
am not sure you wouldn't have riot on
your hands. My church is poor, perhaps,
but large proportion of your population
belong to it. And, strange to say, they
would be likely to object to an insult Of
fered their priest"
He saw the force of my argument, and
tried the only method he knew of shaking
mans convictions.
"Ill change that check to fifteen thou
sand in two minutes"
"Captain," answered levelly, 3are you
proposing to make gift to the Church,"
Seeing that it was fruitless to try to
placate him, took the offensive language
that he hurled at me as an excuse to catch
the reins and stop the horse.
"There are certain epithets priest can
not listen to, Captain, said as got out
of the trap.
"I'll run you outa town for this!' he
yelled, shaking his whip at me as walked
away. "I'll make people afraid to go to
your tin-pot church! And, what's more
I'll have man tailin' you for every move
you make. You'll never get that dust
away from here, and I'll make this town
too hot to hold you'll"
7 WILL not dwell on the first part of my
interview with Mrs. Madden; but, as
soon as she was calm enough, told her
what the Chief of Police threatened, and
impressed upon her the necessity for get
ting back to her children at Great Falls
before he found some excuse to detain her.
There was train that stopped at Cos
port, place about ten miles away, at two
o'clock that morning. told her she must
take it, and sent her into my bedroom to
wash up while made her some strength
ening beef-tea and put out decanter of
port. l thought it best to omit from my
narrative the account of how her husband
had been treated. 1t was difficult enough
to persuade her to 60 away without seeing
him buried, and succeeded only by in
sisting on her children's need for her.

does it in his own, and kicks me off my
own property. l amt got shadder of a

case. So l waited until he PANIED out
enough dust to make the touch worth
while, and then grabbed it. D'you think
that's crooked money!"
He did not give me time to answer: his
voice was so low now that it was only by
putting my ear close to his mouth that |
heard him at ALL
"Luck's always been ag'in' me. Didn't

Panic-stricken lest his lips be sealed be-

ing strength went into pulling my head
down close to him while he jerked out the
words that would make his wife and chill
dren independent of the worlds charity.

I SHOULD have waited until we reached
Gosport and she had one foot on the
trainstep-I know that now: but it was
her secret, and l was nervous in the
thought that an accident might befall me
and she would never know. So brought
her ear close to my mouth and whispered
the location of the treasure.
"Here, added, "are five twenty-dolar
gold pieces If you need more, you must
let me know. Are you ready?"

door. Immediately there was outlined in
the lighted space the shadow of man.
"Who's there?" | called sternly.
A policeman stepped into view-Mi-
chael O'Grady, one of my parishioners.
"Well, Michael said, trying to re-
tain the sternness in my voice, although
am afraid unsuccessfully, "what can you
want at such an hour? Is the wife i'll, or

his words, as he closed the door. "This

He turned suddenly to her.
"Where were you goin'?" he demanded
threateningly.
"To-to Gosport, SIR" she replied, sit
ting down, all in tremble.

door behind him, locked it, and put the
key into his pocket. He was wearing a
loose rain-coat over his uniform, and did
not notice what had done. / acknow-

"Oh!" he sneered. "And so you were
goin' to make your getaway-aid and
abetted by this kind priest-who don't
know where Madden hid that gold dust.
Oh, no! OF course not!'
He put his arm on Mrs. Madden's
shoulder.
"Come along with mel" he said. al

would surely have heard
the truth from the lips of

There was no policeman
behind this time, and he
spoke freely and as one

"I've got a check for

planned, as we descended, that Madden
