of an hour he lifted the iron-grilled

in talk. Selfridge shut the door and
came to the edge of the porch. He
gave gasp and his hands went trem-
bling into the air. The six-gun of the
miner had been pressed hard against
his fat paunch. Under curt orders he
moved down the steps and out of the
yard to the tree.
At sight Of Gordon the eyes of
Wally stood out in amaZement. Little
sweat beads burst out on his forehead,

papers in his hands for safe-keeping.
After which they returned to the hotel
and reached the second floor by way
of the back stairs used by the serv-
ants.
Here they parted, each going to his
own room. Gordon slept like school
boy and woke only when the sun
poured through the window upon his
bed in broad ribbon Of warm gold.
He got up, bathed, dressed, and
went down into the hotel dining room.
The walters looked at him in amaze
ment. Gordon ate as If nothing were
the matter, apparently unaware OF the
excitement he was causing. He paid
not the least attention to the nudging
and the whispering. After he had fla
ished breakfast, he lit a cigar, leaned
back in his chair, and smoked placidly.

into the room. At the head OF them
