 They came up, all three of them, puffing and blowing. while I was hid ing under the gondola.

 You knew what that meant?"
 Perfectly. My drop-out would be made to look as If I had jumped the job. and Dunton would appoint a new man. After that. I could come back. If l wanted to. Whatever l might do or try to do would cut no figure. and no explanation I could make would be believed. I had most obligingly dug my own official grave, and there could be no resurrection"
 "What then?" pressed Ripley. keenly interested. as anybody could see.

 Ripley nodded and said. snappy- like: Well. we've got them now-any time you give the word. Tarbell has a pinch on one of the Clanahan men and he will turn states evidence. We can railroad every one of those fellows who carried you off"

 They went on, talking about my burn-up. Listening in, 1 learned for the first time just how It had been done. Tarbell, through his hold upon the welshing Clanahan striker. had got the details at secondhand. A lead had been taken from power wire at the corner of the street and hooked over the outer door-knob. And inside 1 had been given sheet of copper to stand on for a 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, 1t seemed finding the insulated wire and the copper sheet with its connections hidden in small rubbish closet under the hall stair. just where n fellow in n hurry might chuck them.

Cause of Forest Fires.

Of thousands of fires only a frac- ventable accident, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington which adds that the great majority of the fires that are constantly enlarg- ing our deserts of barren sand, scrub oak, chaparral and briers, are due to the carelessness of human beings-due. not only to the carelessness of persons who are directly responsible for the fires, but to the indifference of the great body of people whose composite opinion permits the campers, the farmers, the railroads, and others to start and leave or lose control of the fires that do the damage.

when it came to an election tuSsle. He was the redoubtable Pete Clana- han, divekeeper, and political boss.
 kestler was telling the three how he had shadowed Mir. Norcross from the railroad headquarters to the Bullard, and how he stayed around until he had seen the boss take taxi for Major Hendricks. This seemed 10 be all that was wanted of him, for when he was through. Hatch told him he might go home. After the cock-eyed clerk was gene, Hatch lighted fresh cigar and put it squarely up to the Irishman.
 Its no use being mealy-mouthed over this thing, Pete" he grated in that saw-mill voice of his. We've got to get rid of thls man. Every days delay gives him that much better hold. We can choke him off hy littleS in the business game, of course; We have Dunton and the New Workers on our side. and this cooperative scheme he has launched can be broken down
  you political people out; and your stake in the game Is even bigger than ours"
 Clanahan looked around the little dog kennel of place SuspiciouSly.
 "'Iis not here that we can talk much about thim things, MiSther Hatch" he said cautiously.
 Why not?" was the rasplng ques- ton. There's nobody in the yard, and the gates are locked. It's d-d sight safer than back room in one of your diyes-as we know now to our cosn'
 Clanahan threw up his head with gesture that said much. "Murphy's the man that leaked on that engine job-and he'll leak no more"
 We'll" said Hatch, with growing irritation, what are you holding back for now? We stood to win on the first play. and We would have won if your people hadn't balled it by talking too much. One more day and Dis nuke would have been in the saddle. That would have settled it."
 Yah: and Mister Dismuke still here in Portal City remains" put in Henckel.
 The divekeeper locked his pudgy fingers across cooked knee
 "'Tis foine. brave gintlemen ye are, you two, whin yeve got somebody else to pull tn nuts out av tn fire for vel" he said. "Ye'd have us croak this felly fir ye, and thin ye'd stand back and wash yer hands while some poor divil wint to tn rope fir it. Where do we come in, is what I'd like to knowY
 You are already in." snapped Hatch. You know what the big fel- low at the capital thinks about it, and where you'll stand in the coming election if you don't put out this fire that Norcross Is kindlng, You're vel low, Clanahan. That's all that is the matter with you"
 Tell me wan thing!" insisted the divekeeper, boring the chief grafter with his pin-point eyes. Do you stand f'r 1t If We do this thing up right?"
 Hatch's eyes fell, and Henckel's big body twisted uneasily ill the chair that was grooming under his beer-barrel weight. There was silence for a little space, and I could feel the cold sweat starting out all over me. I hadn't dreamed of stumbling upon anything like this when started out to shadow Kestler. They were actually plotting to murder the boss

pocket, Clanahan got up to go. It was time for me to make 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 d piece of paper that simply meant ruin to Mir NorcrosS, and the blowing up of all the plans that had been made and all the work that had been done. If he should be allowed to get up town with that warrant, the end of every thing would be in sight But how was I to prevent 1t?
 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 I had never thought once of the pistol l had taken from Fred Mays drawer, though 1t was still sagging in my left hip pocket. When l did think of it I 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- matic resting in the crack of the opened window I took dead aim at the incandescent lamp in the ceiling and turned her loose for the whole magazineful.
 Since the first bullet got the lamp and left the place black dark, l 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 q 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 d cannon. l was Hat l tened against the side of the scale | shack, and when the divekeeper tried 1 to sidestep around the two fallen men who were blocking the way, l snatched 1 the folded paper from his pocket: snatched it and ran as if the dickens was after me.
 That was q bad move-the runaway. If I had kept still there might have been a chance for me to make sneak, But when l ran, and fell over a pile of loose coal. and got up and ran again. they were all three after me. Clanahan taking blind shots in the dark with his cannon as he came. Naturally, I made straight for the wagon gate, and forgot. until l was right there, that it, and the wicket through one of the leaves, were both i locked. As shook the wicket, a bullet from Clanahan's gun spatted into the woodwork and stuck a splinter into my hand and I turned and Sprinted again, this time for the gates where the coal cars were pushed in from the railroad yard. These, too, were shut

 Its beginning to look Il little that way, now,' the lawyer admitted, with his hand on the door knob. Just the same, Norcross. there is safety in num- bers, and our numbers are precisely one; one man'-holding up single finger. As before, the pyramid Is standing on its head-and you are the head. For Gods sake. be careful
 It was late in the afternoon when after he went away the boss and l closed up our end of the shop ana left May pecking away at his type writer on lot of routine stuff. l don't know what made me do it. but as 1 was passing Fred's desk on the way out, stringing along behind the boss, I stopped and jerked open one of the drawers. 1 knew beforehand what was in the drawer, and pointed to it-a new .3S automatic. Fred Sodded, and I slipped the gun into my left-hand pocket, wondering as did it, if I could make out to hit the broad side of barn. shooting with that hand, if'I had to.
 A half-minute later I had caught up with Mir. Norcross, and together we left the building and went up to the Bul!ard for dinner.

 Past this there was little more talk about the C. S X w. deal, and about what the Hatch crowd would be likely to try next; and when it was finished, and Ripley was reaching for his hat. the boss said. "There is no change in the orders: we've got 'em
