was time for me to make a move.
It's curious how an Idea will some
times lay hold of you and knock out
reason and common sense and every
thing else. Clanahan had in his pocket
a piece Of paper that simply meant
ruin to Mr. Norcross, and the blowing
up Of all the plans that had been made
and all the work that had been done.
If he sl0uld be allowed to get up town
with that warrant, the end Of every
thing would be in sight. But how
was to prevent it2
The three men were on their feet
and Hatch was reaching for the wall
switch which controlled the single in
candescent lamp hanging from the
ceiling Of the scale-house. If l could
only think of some way to blow the
place up and snatch the paper in the
confusion.
Up to that minute l had never
thought once Of the pistol had taken
from Fred Mays drawer, though 1t
was still sagging in my left hip pocket.
When did think of it l dragged it
out with some silly notion Of trying
to hold the three men up at the door
of the shack as they came out Hatch's
stop to light cigar and to hand out
a couple to the other two gave me
time to chuck that notion and grab an-
other With the muzzle of the auto
matte resting in the crack of tho
opened window / took dead aim at
the incandescent lamp in the ceiling
and turned her loose for the whole

Since the first bullet got the lamp
and left the place black dark, I
couldn't see what was happening in
the close little room. could hear
them gasping and yelling and knock
ing one another down as they fought
to get the door open. Sticking the
empty pistol back into my pocket I
jumped to get action, hurting my sore
hand like the mischief in doing it.
Hatch was the first man out, but
the big German was so close a second
that he knocked his smaller partner
down and fell over him. Clanahan
kept his feet. He had a gun in his
hand that looked to me, in the dark
ness, as big as a cannon. l was fat
tened against the side of the sca
shack, and when the divekeeper tried
to side-step around the two fallen men
who were blocking the way, snatched
the folded paper from his pocket;
snatched 1t and ran as IL the dickens
was after me.
That was a bad move-the runaway.
If l had kept still there might have
been a chance for me to make sneak.
But when l ran, and fell over pile
of loose coal. and got up and ran
again, they were all three after me.

was trapped. Before I could climb the
high fence anywhere, they'd get me.
They came up, all three of them,
putting and blowing, while was hid
ing under the gondola.
''It's probably that cowboy spotter
of NoFcross', but he can't get away"

probably. ''The gates are locked and
we can plug him If he tries to climb
the fence. There's a gun in the SCALE

beforehand. They wouldn't tell me
anything except that l was to be

"You knew what that meant?"
Perfectly. My drop-out would be

If wanted to. Whatever / might do
or try to do would cut no figure, and

what then?" pressed Ripley, keenly
interested. as anybody could see.
when they took the clOthes-line
from my arms there was another
scrap. 1t didn't do any good. They
got the door shut on me and got
1t locked. After that, for four solid

Ripley nodded and said, snappy-

"Then Wen drop it right where 1t is

They went on, talking about my
burn-up. Listening IN, / learned for
the first time just how 1t had been
done. Tarbell, through his hold upon
the welshing Clanahan striker, had
got the details at secondhand. A lead
had been taken from a power wire
at the corner Of the street and hooked
over the outer door-knob. And inside
l had been given sheet of copper to
stand on for good ground" the
copper itself being wired to a water
pipe running up through the hall. Tar
bell had afterward proved up on all
this, it seemed finding the insulated
wire and the copper sheet with its
connections hidden in a small rubbish
closet under the hall stair, just where
a fellow in a hurry might chuck them.

Norcross put in, along at the end of
