RIVERS TURNED INTO SEWERS
Streams That Once Were Famous Lon. don Thoroughfares Now Are Far
 Under the Ground.

The river Tyburn, which, along with the Thames, helped to make Westmin- ster, in London, an island in Saxon times, can still be traced from the Mar ble arch neighborhood to Westminster. It originally flowed through Hyde park and St. James park at time when these were marshlands. Several feet below the pavement in Great College street are the remains of bridge which spanned the Tyburn at this spot just before 1t entered the Thames.
 But the most famous of all the bur fed rivers of London is undoubtedly the Fleet It flowed through Jack Ketch's warren, where dwelt at times such notorious characters as Dick Tur- pin and Jack Sheppard. It was fla vorite dodge of the highwaymen and other thieves who infested the district of Saffron hill and Hatton garden to drop through trapdoor to the Stygian banks of the Fleet, pull a plank after them and so escape capture by the Bow street runners. The Fleet ditch ran into the Thames at Blackfriars, and small craft used to put into it with merchandise.
 In the middle of the city was the Wellbrooke, and on the east side the Langbourne, and in the western suburbs the pleasant stream of the Oldbourne. also deep enough to accom- modate good-sized craft. Other Lon don rivers not yet wholly sewers are the Roding the Lea. the Ravensbourne and the Wandle, but the Brixton is no longer visible anywhere.

 Well, it was, just the same, d-d square, if you ask me. It was what Weeks advised him to do. after he went to Virginia, an got peep at a copy of the will on file. This girl had no legal rights till she was of age seel Churchill knew this. an he didn't do much O anything else fer ten years, but try to get his hands on her. Old Calkjns was smart enough to fool him. The colonel had money enough in the deposit box, so they could live on 1t quietlike, an the ser geant never wasted a cent. He just naturally lived for that girl. till about month ago. He was smart enough not even to trust her; she never knew what they was hidin' from"

 Hank laughed coarsely. his hand all right"
 Sure he did, but he had to bean this fellow Shelby. Except for that job 1t wasn't so bad, for it was easier to get her where he wanted her. I don't know how he'd have managed at Ponca, but there was just the three of 'em on the Cottonwood"
 And dead men don't talk"
 "Well, they're safer than live ones. enyhow. Then this Injun outbreak comin' right now makes the getaway plum easy. He can hide her away back in the Hole as long as he d-n pleases. Everything will be laid to the Sioux for awhile"
 "Its a sure break. then?"
 Sure; all the young bucks are all ready out. Macklin had four with him on this chase-took lem on pur- pose, so if they was ever trailed they'd say it was.an Injun job. Oh. he's GOV cred up things all right. You got it straight now?"
 Hank drew up his feet until his chin rested on his knees, the tip of the cigarette glowing.
 'I got it straight enough. so far as that goes, Hanley. but I don't see what the h-l we're goin' to get out of it."
 You've got the same love for the Kid have, ain't yer?
 Just about. reckon. I'd sure like to take a good swipe at the ornary cuss."
 That's what I thought. Well. he ain't goin' to do nothtn' desperate to this young woman till he hears from the old man. This affair has been pulled off hurriedlike, an all the Kid has got in his mind right now IS to hide her away somewhere. until old Churchill shows up. and decides what to do with her."
 What do you suppose he'll decide?"
 "Well, my notion is that if Macklin is the old mans son, he'll try to force her into marvin the boy. That would be the easy way, an I believe that will likely be their scheme. My idea is to put a crimp in it."
 'How?"
 By getting hold of her ourselves before the old man shows up, an then doin' business with him."

neither made the slightest effort to proceed silently. Shelby sat upright on the edge of the gully, straining his eyes through the darkness.
 A strange fortune had brought him the very information he most needed. His whole thought centered instantly on the fate of the girl. What course would she choose under these circunn- stances. when the facts were finally revealed to her? Undoubtedly she be- lieved him dead; her captOrs would impress that fact upon her first of all, so as to make her realize her com plete helplessness. Besides. she cared nothing for him; had married him in- differently, merely to thus escape from worse fate. He could not hope that loyalty to him, under such condi- tions. would greatly influence her de cision. Somehow the thought hurt Shelby, and brought to him the knOwl- edge that he did care. He cared very much indeed, and this truth colored his thought and decision.
 He dare not follow those men at present; he could only wait where he
 
 There was no danger of his losing them, for he knew where they were going. and. in a measure, at least, about who they were. Shelby had never been in that strange sink known as Wolves hole, but he had talked with a man who had. An immense hole in the Bad Lands, through which flowed a branch of the Cottonwood, strange malformation of nature, so completely concealed as to be invisible until the surprised traveller stood on it's very edge, and stared down into the gloomy depths below. The walls were precipitous. impossible except on foot by daylight, and at only two points could the sink be entered on horseback; from the west beneath the protection of a cataract, where the stream plunged headlong over high ledge of stone, and from the other extremity down a narrow ravine through a tunnel scooped out by some torrent in long-past ages. Originally discovered by wandering trappers, who camped there out of the winter storms. it had later become the head quarters for an illicit Indian trade in liquor, and finally the rendezvous for criminals of all kinds, eager to get beyond the reach of the law. It was rumored that there was actually a town there. with women of a class, with a certain rude attempt at gov ernment by a few self-constituted au- thorities.

| outlaws. These fellows evidently were heading for there. but would they try to complete the journey? His hope centered on their camping somewhere until morning; if sufficiently assured of safety this would probably be their choice Through the field glasses he 1 studied the course of the stream, and the little patches of wood intently. At last he was rewarded-a faint spiral of blue smoke arose above some dis tant trees, the evidence of a camp fire. He lay there motionless, silent, his eyes glued to the glass. planning his action, aIru waiting for the night.
 As the gloom slowly deepened Shel- by was able to distinguish the flickey | of that far-off fre, but the distance was too great to permit any knowl- edge of it's surroundings. The trail leading down was narrow. and rock strewn, and he determined to try the passage while a faint glimmer of twi- light yet fingered. Leading the buck skin, and moving with the utmost eau tiOn. he began the descent.
 The gloom did not greatly retard his movements, for, through the glasses. he had mapped out the salient fea- lures. and so impressed them upon his memory as to go forward now con- f1dently. The camp fire was located in the third grove of trees. and there were no signs of human presence be tween. However, he took no chance but advanced quietly on foot, leading his horse. and using every precaution against discovery.
 He circled the two groves, keeping close in their shadow. and searching their depths anxiously for any sign of life. They were desolate and desert ed, but, from the outer fringe of the second he could perceive plainly the dull glow of the fire a hundred yards ahead. It was no longer a flame. but a mere gIimmer of red ashes, casting no reflection about, although clearly visible. He fastened the bronco to a limb, within the circle of trees, and crouched forward alone, Winchester in hand, choosing his passage beneath the bank of the stream, and advanc- ing with every precaution, pauslng every few steps, to peer over the pro- tecting bank. and thus assure himself that all remained quiet. When almost exactly opposite the red glow of the coals. he lay still, sendeavoring vainly to learn the situation. and becoming more and more puzzled.
 The camp appeared deserted, as though the party which had halted there had already passed on. He could hear no sound, see no movement. The fire had died down into a mere glim- mer of red ashes. barely perceptible amid the surrounding gloom. Shelby drew himself forward. creeping like snake, convinced that he was alone, yet no less alert and watchful. His progress was up shallow depression, and he had attained the deeper shade of the trees, when, suddenly, voice, apparently speaking not two yards distant. gave utterance to an oath of disgust
 "RAlI' the voice said roughly. there is no use waitin' for that guy any longer; no tellin' where he is at by now"
 Shelby dropped fiat on his face al- most ceasing to breathe. The unseen party addressed stretched himself lazily, as evidenced by the rustic of leaves.
