moment to examine and tabulate in
his mind the kind Of safe he had to
do with. In another moment he threw
back the bolts and swung the door
open.
They took the pay roll package out
Just as Lyons had placed 1t within the
safe. But the easy triumph of the ex-
pert and the congratulations OF his
friends did not seem enough to satisfy
him. To make the job artistic, he d.
rected his assistants to get together
some brown paper, and after they had
taken the bills from the package, he
filed 1t with waste paper, rewrapped
the package carefully and replaced 1t
just as he had found it in the safe.
Leaving by the same way they had
entered, the quartet took their way
to S%eagrue's camp. Seagrue was
asleep, and Spike woke him and NUT
tered they had the money. Seagrue,
somewhat upset by the size of the
company Of thieves with which he
was now tied up, kept his own coun-
sci. He listened to all that Spike had
to say, and at once advised sending
the three safe-blowers back to the
city. This, however, 1t was decided,
after a brief conference, would not
do, as Spike needed somebody to help
him foment a disturbance next day.
In the end, a compromise was effect

over night to aid in stirring up Rhine

Entering the waiting room with his

walked out on the platform, the Local

looking at the fire in Rhinelander's
camp.
Sykes and Dan boarded the train al

Passing within, Rhinelander cut open

found only brown paper instead OF

and breathless with amazement, he
made his way, white-faced, back to
the station for an explanation.

doctored package down before Lyons

Rhinelander wiped his brow and
turned, detected, from the counter. He
had not the heart to wire Oceanside of
the calamity. The first thing neces-
sary. In any event, was to make an eff
fort to appease the men and, starting
to his camp. he attempted to do this.

told the men they would have to wait.
Those closest in the group that
crowded around him had been primed
for a disturbance by Spike and his two
confederates. They sneered at Rhine

wanted their pay. Lyons, hurrying
over from the station, reported to
Rhinelander that the express company
