Misinformed by his Dutch advisers.
who hoped thus to rid Holland Of ~
embarrassing guest, William Hohen-
zollern worked out an intricate
scheme whereby he expected to gain
his liberty under the protection OF
the American flag.
Immediately following the sigma
ture /ot the Versailles treaty. he
planned to flee from Holland secretly
aboard a yacht, the purchase of which
he had already negotiated through a
trusted friend in Norway.
Once within the three mile limit of
the United States, the imperial en-
sign was to be hoisted and he would
give himself up to the American naval
authorities at Hampton Roads, mean
while issuing wireless proclama
tion pleading for an immediate audi =
cnce at the White House, appealing
to the charity and sportsmanship OF
the American people. and asking that
special act of Congress be passed
making him a citizen in consideration
of his renunciation of all claims to
throne and royalty.
This coup was to have been staged
early last July, but Wilhelm's secret
emissaries in America who felt out
the ground there early in 1919, re-
ported unfavorably.

Mac"
The Scotsman was vaguely uneasy
without definite reason for his anX-
iety. Only last night Cullison had told
him not single bank in town would
advance him q dollar. Now he had
money in plenty. Where had he got
it?
Mackenzie's eye fell on a copy Of
the Sentinel protruding from the 9TH
er's pocket. Read about the holdup
of the w. & S. express? That fellow
had his nerve with him."
"Sho! This holdup games the
easiest yet. He got the drop on them,
and there was nothing to it,"
"How did he know there was money
coming in last night?"
There's always leak about things
Of that sort. Somebody talks. knew
it myself, for that matter"
"You knew! Who told you?"
"That's a secret, Mac. Come to
think Of it, 1 wish you wouldn't tell
anybody that knew. don't want to
get the man who told me in trouble"
"Sure I won't" He passed to an
other phase Of the subject. "The Sen
tinel says Bolt expects to catch the
robber. Think he WILL"
"Not If the fellow knows his busi-
ness. Bolt has nothing to go on. He
has the whole Southwest to pick from.
For all he knows it was you"
"Yes, but"
"Or more likely me-" The gray eyes
of the former sheriff held a frosty

In spite of that smile. or perhaps
because Of it, Mackenzie felt again
that flash of doubt. whats the use

But the trouble was Mackenzie did
not know him well enough. Cullison
was hard up, close to the wall. How
far would he go to save himself? In
his slow, troubled fashion, Mac Won
dered if his old side partners streak
of lawlessness would take him as far
as a holdup. Of course it would not,
he assured himself; but he could not
get the ridiculous notion out Of his
head.
Mackenzie drifted to the courthouse
He found Sheriff Bolt in his office. The
Scotsman wanted to discuss the rob-
berry, but was shy about attacking the
subject. While he boggled at it, Bolt
was off on another tack.
Inside Of a quarter of an hour the
sheriff had found out all he wanted to
know about the poker game, Cullison's
financial difficulties. and the news that

CHAPTER II.
An initiated Hat.

Mackenzie was reading the Sentinel
while he ate late breakfast. He had
it propped against the water bottle, so
that it need not interfere with the
transportation of sausages, fried po-
tatoes, hot cakes and coffee to their
common destination.
Trying to do two things at once has
its disadvantages. A startling head
line caught his eyes just as the cup
was at his lips. Hot coffee, precipi-
lately swallowed. scalded his tongue
and throat. He set down the cup,
swore mildly, and gave his attention
to the news that had excited him:
"While the citizens of Saguache
were peacefully sleeping last night, a
lone bandit held up the messengers of
the Western & Southern Express COM
pany, and relieved them of twenty
thousand dollars just received from ri
Paso on the Flyer.
"Psrry Hawley, the local manager
OF the company. together with Len
Rogers, the armed guard. had just re-
turned from, the depot. where the
money had been turned over to them
and receipted for. Hawley had un-
locked the door Of the Office and had
stepped in. followed by Rogers, when
masked desperate appeared sudden
ly out Of the darkness. .disarmed the
guard and manager. took the money,
passed through the door and locked it
after him, and vanished as silently as
he had come. Before leaving. he
warned his victims that the place
would be covered for ten minutes and
at any attempt to call for help they
would be shot. Notwithstanding this,
the imprisoned men risked their lives
by raising the alarm"
Further down the page Mackenzie
discovered that the desperate was still
at large, but that Sheriff Bolt expect
ed shortly to lay hands on him.
He folded the paper and returned -

hadn't ought to be sitting in these big
games. He's hard up. Owes a good
bit here and there. Always was a
spender. First thing he'll have to sell
the Circle G to square things. He'll
pay us this week like he said he would.
That's dead sure. But I swear I don't
know where he'll raise the price.
Money is so tight right now."
That afternoon Luck called at every
bank in Saguache. All of the bankers
knew him and were friendly to him,
but in spite Of their personal regard
they could do nothing for him.
TITS this stringency, Luck" Jordan
Of the Cattlemen's National explained
to him. "I'd let you have it if dared.

Luck laughed ruefully. II need every

"You'l make a turn somehow. 1t

isn't so tight I'll be able to do some
thing for you"
Luck returned to the hotel morosely
and tried to figure way out of his
difficulties. He was not going to be
beaten. He never had accepted defeat.
He would not lose out after all these
years of fighting. 1t had been his des-
perate need Of money that had made
