!oiilueF' But that's all ovar vo,,
 sala you'd get us. and you did aon,,
 Dear malice. If you had given mo one
 thoI hoIe uay I'd have got you; the stuff
 ti .hat would have broken your neck with
 tue washington people was all writ
 ten .en ana ready to put on the wires Rut
 .naC past and gone. and the nov,
 ,n4 ,n'hs IS something else. There is q
 iot or money and securities locked m
 .n tue Nlquoia bank vault. We've come
 'o clean up. and we brought a fev
 pedce ofhcers along from Red Butte TOT guard. The miserable scoundrels are scared stiff; they won't stir out of 'ne hoIel. Bcngras tells me you've got your force organized and armed-can't you iena us fifty or a hundred huskies to Keep the mob off while we omen that bank yault?"
 0Foulllard's black eyes snapped, and 1he blood danced in his veins The on. poftunity for which he would have bar tered Ormuz' treasure had come to hlm-was begging him to use it.
 T certainly can," he admitted an swering the eager question and empha- sizing the potentiality.
 But will you? that's the point We'll make it worth your while. For Gods sake, don't say no. Brouillard! There's pretty we'll up to a million in that vault, counting odds and ends and Ieft-overs. Schermerhorn oughtn't to nave left it. l thought he had sense enough to stay and see it taken care of. But now"
 But now the mob is very likely to wreck the building and dynamite the vault. you were going to say. l think 1t is more than likely, Mir Cartwright and l wonder that it hasn't been done before this. It would have been done if the rioters had had any idea that you'd left anything worth taking. And 1t would probably wreck you and MT. Schermerhorn if it should get hold of you; you've both been burned in effigy half dozen times since you ran away"
 "Oh, good Lord!" shuddered the magnate. Make it two hundred of your men, and let's hurry. You won't turn us down on this. Brouillard?"
 No. It is no part of our duty to go and keep the mob off while you save your stealings, but we'll do it. And from the noise they are making down that way, think you are wise in suggesting haste. But first there is a question of common justice to be settled. An hour ago, or such mat ter, you sent a part of your sheriff's posse up to seize the Little Susan and to arrest David Massingale-"
 "It's-it's a lie!" stammered Cort- wright. Somebody Ihas been trying to backcap me. to you!p
 Brouillar,A looked ug. froxnsegs ..
 You are good bit older man than
 am, MT. Cartwright, and I sha'n't punch your head. But you'll know why ought to when I tell you that my in- ormant is Miss Amy Massingale. What have you done with old David? ?"
 The man who had lost his knack of 'luffing came down and stayed down. "He's-he's over at the hotel" he hammered. Under guard" "Well-y-yes. Brouillard pointed to the telephone Il the wall. Go and call up your crowd and get | here. Tell Judge Williams to bring | he stock he is holding. and Scher- leshorn to bring the Massingale | otes, and your man Jackson to bring le stock-book. We'll have a direc- )rs' meeting that was called, and asnt held, three weeks ago."
 It was a crude little expedient, but sufficed. Cartwright tramped to the hone and cursed and swore at it un- he had his man at the other end of le wire. The man was the lawyer, ; it appeared, and Cartwright abused m spitefully.
 You've balled it-balled it beauti- lly!" he shouted Come over here
 Brouillard's s office and bring Sher- erhorn and the stock and the notes
