Barnum Had Plugged Holes
And Vas in the Money

When r. T. Barnurn, as young
man, left Dahbury, Conn.,, to
make his way in the world, he
left numerous unpaid bills behind
him. To one creditor the imagi-
native Snowman said with great
intensity: "I'll pay you what /
owe you as soon as I get rich"
The other laughed and eyed the
youth disdainfully.
''That will be when a sieve holds
water" he jeered.
But in a few years the master
Snowman was well on the road to
success, and with great satisfac-
ton wrote the man the following
note:
"Dear Sir: / have fixed that
sieve"

Somewheres to clean out rustlers.
Clint Ellison was seen with them. "
Jeff's eyes had not lifted from Tur-
ley as he told this bit Of news.
"You think they are headin' this
way?" Morgan asked.
II wouldn't know. Do yore own
flgurin'." Brands hard, shallow eyes
still held fast to Turley. 'sWhat
would you say, Jack?"
Turley was disturbed by the stead
mess Of that regard. s'Why, ]
wouldn't know, jeff. Chances are
there's nothing to it. It doesn't sound
anyways reasonable. But maybe
I'm wrong. What's your idea?"

sure. Thought I'd wait till ] heard
from you."
"From me?" Turkeys startled
face showed more than astonish-
ment. .'Why, how would I known"
81 expect you know a lot we don't,
jack" JEFF answered, his voice ON
inously gentle. He pulled a piece Of
paper from his pocket and handed it
to Herriott. "Take look at that,
Bill, and pass it on to Dave. It was
found pinned on Black Yeager's
coat. The gent who killed him left
a sample Of his handwriting. I don't
reckon you recognize it"
Herriott frowned down at the pa
per, shook his head, and passed it
to Morgan. 'a'r 4
Morgan said, Cant prove a thing
by me-" and passed the slip to Tur-
ley.
As Turley looked at it, gray
green pallor spread over his
swarthy face.
II ~. don't know who
wrote it," he mumbled, and looked
at Brand, despair in his eyes.
IT do" Jeff's voice rang out crisp
and hard. We've found the killer,
boys. He's standing there with the
paper in his hand that he left on
Yeager's coat"
s'No mol It's not true" Tur-
ley gulped down his terror. to fight
back.
Watching the trapped mans fear
flied face, Morgan realized that JEFF
had found the guilty man.
Better talk, Turley," he advised
ominously. '"Talk fast. il you don't
want US to believe JEFF"
'sWhile he is talking you and Bill
search the cabin, Dave. You might
find money. A lot Of it. He's been
playing poor. Let's get wise about
that"
''From q chalk-dry throat Turley
offered an explanation. "My folks
sent me some money, boys"
The two men walked into the cab
in and began rummaging among its
contents. In q straw tick they found
q rip, through which their exploring
hands brought a canvas sack. In
the sack were four packages Of
greenbacks.
