 "MacNair waited until night, but the night brought the sandstorm with it and upset his plans"
 Here I described that dreadful Sunday night.
 And now we come to my reason for letting MacNair know I believed him guilty. I wanted him to do precisely what he did. Only Sun day night I wasn't ready for him"
 T don't get thatw Henry ejacu- lated
 I chuckled. T mean that I want ed MacNair to regard me as an in- creasing source of danger. It would make him force the issue, commit that overt act which would com plete my chain of evidence against him"
 You mean you deliberately in vited him to murder you?" Henry shouted.

SKAGWAY TO HAVE
 GOOD SPORTS FOR
 FOURTH OF JULY

The Skagway Fourth-of-J Il y committee has arranged an attrac- tive list of sports for their Inde- pendence Day celebration which will take place at that place. There will be all sorts of field sports for girls and boys and for women and men which will engage the interest of participants and spectators in the forenoon, afternoon and eve- ming.

 In the afternoon there will be a boys baseball game.
 The Fourth of July has always been observed at Skagway, and they have always turned cut lot of proficient athletes for their con- tests. It is expected that the com ing celebration will be one that will do credit to the town.

Jerry's flask had brought to him. self, looked saner than I had ever seen him.
 Tt was to be duel of wits, you see, and I was pretty sure Skull Valley would be the field of honor. MacNair telephoped me this after noon that he was going down to Skull Valley to arrest Furie for the murder of Andrew. Did I want to be in at the finish? If so, I was to come alone. I knew what he meant-and he knew I did. Well, I came.s
 then recounted what had hap pened up to the moment when I had knocked Furie out.
 faye, that's it!" Furie suddenly shrilled. 1.le white -bellied coy- ote telled me you wuz a-goin' to break me neck fer me. Iris a good thing ye bust me under the chin. Git on with it, will vel"
 This was encouragement, indeed, and I proceeded.
 You see, if MacNair had won, his story of the shooting would have been true. As swept up my pistol I looked for MacNair to come pouring in. But he was still waiting. My eye fell on the dum- mics and thought of that psychol- ogical trick Andrew used 30 years ago.
 "MacNair was familiar with Fur ie's astonishing hat and shirt. As you see, I put both on Napoleon, pretending that Furie was on the point of shooting me. Then I fired my pistol twice. MacNair rushed in, saw Furie's hat, and fired at the dummy three times before he took Ia second glance. Then he whirled upon me, bringing up his pistol to kill me. That was the overt act I had been waiting for
 They were standing around me like mourners at a burying.
 I ran a quizzical eye from Ma than Hyde to Roy Hammond.
 Tt seems to me" I observed shrewdly, that Hammond once prospected these parts as a young man.
 'Is it possible that he was down here recently and discovered d the new entrance to the Two Brothers? Is it possible that he went to Nathan Hyde and that between them they dug up the story of that incredible poker game?"

 [ "MacNair had been too clever to leave any tangible clew behind him. Moreover, he hadn't been sending men to the death penalty for 30 years without learning thing or two about evidence and he knew just as well as I did that I hadn't enough to be sure of convicting him.
 ss-So that you may understand what happened tonight, I shall try to give you a sort of moving pie ture of MacNairs mental processes from just before he left for Tor ridity Sunday morning up to the end.
 sf.'MacNair knew I believed him to be Andrews murderer and that his attempt to duplicate Jerry wasn't apt to succeed; so he looked around for likelier candidate. He fixed on the cunning, half-witted old desert rat, Furie. Furie's violent quarrel with Andrew had provided him with motive for the crime.
 "But first he must plant Jerry's flannels in Torridity as the trail inevitably would lead there. And this on Sunday morning MacNair proceeded to do. Not to further involve Jerry, remember, but to support the charge of murdering Andrew and getting away in Jer- rvs flannels that he purported bringing against Furie.
 T also, went to Torridity Sun day morning. Neither of us had expected the other to be there yet MacNair now saw that while I might not have enough evidence to convict him he could not fasten the guilt on Furie while I lived And-I was an increasing source of danger to him. He concocted las beautiful scheme for disposing of Furie and me and insuring his own safety at one blow.
 His scheme was absurdly simple He would shoot both of us here in Torridity and bring out bodies to- gether. Then he would report to you. Deacon. that Furie had killed Andrew, that I had charged Furie with the crime, that Furie had shot me, and that he, MacNair, had come running up and dispatch ed Furie just a moment too late to rave my life. Later he would get possession of the little red note

LONDON, June 24.-The Daily Sketch says many were injured and some tainted, when a crowd of several thousand persons inspect ing the fleet of destroyers, got out of control on the Traford Wharf boarding the ships. One ship was nearly capsized when the crowd rushed to one side.
 Nurses and ambulances have been sent for to treat the hundreds of those fainting. Women were in- jured, also children. Several per- sons were pushed overheard, but all were rescued.
