As our "Vo 'age progressed , we
agreed that Traddles was not happy.

Tommy tried very hard to maintain
IRn aspect ot outraged dlgnit ) ' as the

IlIlrcel , but ho couldn't help betray.
Ing the greatest a ltallon , He stood

And to 0111' amazement ho d rOI)110d
the window and shouted to a custO 1S
officer who stood on. the other sldo or
the platfarm , The maf ! came prompt. '
ly to his call , and Tommy addressed
him , ,
1 "Ofilcer , " he said. "this man admits

thll1 , he droPlled Into his co I'll 01' wIth

For the first time in our' knowledge
of him , Tommy , the hosilitable , so'

'rho ofilcCl"s manner was very quiet
and ver ' serious , Taking pssesslon
of 1I10 cigars , ho Intimated that Dick.

groan , the culprit do parted , \Vo all
troOIJed after him , and as wo left the
carriage everyone oC us , except King.
'stono , hurled relll'oaches at the grim
fIgme ill the corner , who went on to
town by the train , which started very
soon aftCl' we left it , .
We tried to make the sllilervisor un'
dorstand what had hapllened : to show
him that the real cnprlt was the In.
former himself , nllt although the
officer looked sagacious enough"ho
I seemed extremely dense , and could

,
"Go to the Devil I "
see nothing but the fact that It was
not the informer who was actualty
guilty of smuggling ,
\Vo had worked ourselves to a cll ,
max of oxaspel'Utlon , when a lad came
In and handed the supervisor a note ,
. 110 ollened the note , and as ho read
we saw that It contained a surprise ,

"What's up ? ' What's the matter
now ? " we brolw out , each In his own
war.
"Clear out , -tell you , " roared the
furious official ; "I'vo had enough ot

"What do 'ou mean ? " ejaculated
Dickson , and as he spoke ho drew out

Dickson was the only one who did
