A hail of pelting grit began to sing round him, search ing every inch of his body. The rattle, crash, and shriek of the wheels blended in a roar that stunned him. But still ho clung on. His eyes were closed. The skin of his cheekbones was stretched like u niembrune. Ills nostrils were clogged with cinders and tilled with the stench of hot oil from the journals. Hut he clung on. Crosswise In his fast-clenched teeth he held the bank-notes. So, through the night, an Inch from death, he rode. And In the gray light of the dawn he dropped from his place In the same city, in the same yards, almost in the same place where he had slipped Into the box car half a day before. Totteringly he crept out Into the streets and set his face toward the business part of the town. Ills mind was made up. The wages of sin were death; who should know It better than he. Ho would go back and con fess. Perhaps the bank might be merciful. Surely he had been pun ished enough. At any rate confes sion would save him from the charge of murder. His half-numbed brain failed to realize that the tragedy at the old jail would seem very clear to those who discovered the bodies of the giant and the hunchback, and that there was nothing to connect him with either death. Ho was going back. Jail seemed to htm a haven of refuge. The wait till the bank opened did not seem long. When nine o'clock struck he was tho first to enter and go to the paying teller's cage. He laid down the bank-notes. "I've brought them back," ho said, stupidly. The teller picked up the notes curiously. Then a look of recogni tion came upon his face. "HeavenB! Hut they're filthy," ho exclaimed. "I guess they went through tho fire all right. Where did you find them?" Ford's lips moved, but ho said nothing audible. The teller looked at him curiously. "I was looking over them when the lire occurred," he began, "and "The fire!" "Yes! Didn't you know wo had a small fire here about three o'clock yesterday? 1 couldn't find them aft erwards, and supposed they had blown out of the door. I was just wondering what I could say to the Secret Service men when they came after them at noon." "Tho Secret Service men!" "Yes!" The teller stopped. Light was dawning upon him. "Good Lord! You didn't think Whew-oo! No!" ho went on slowly, eyeing the cring ing figure before him with pitying eyes. "They're not real. They're counterfeit. The Secret Service men brought them In for me to look over. They are coming for them at twelve o'clock. You've saved me a tot of embarrassment. Perhaps" his hand went to his pocket doubtfully. Ford shook his head. Then he thrust his hand in his pocket and searched a little. At last he drew out the check that had taken him to tho bank the ' afternoon before. "Could you cash this two-dollar check for me?" he asked plaintively. "I I need tho money."

After all, perhaps it was bet ter to reach Bleachers at night, and trust to rousing the one tavern of the place. It was after midnight when his task was accomplished, and having seen to the accommodation of a very tired and hungry horse, Stranlcigh threw himself upon the bed to which he was shown by a sleepy man. He had had finite enough equestrian ex ercise for one day. Ten o'clock had struck next morn ing before he woke, and went down to breakfast. Ills mind was now clear as to what he meant to do. To avoid meeting Uicketts was Impossi ble; of thnt he was certain. His first object, then, was to draw a red her ring across the trail, so he inquired from the hotel keeper tho where abouts of KIcketts' otllce, and was di rected to It. He crossed the street and ascended a stair. Ricketts kept neither clerk nor ofllco-boy, so Stranlcigh knocked at tho door, and was grullly com manded to enter. CILAS A. K1CKHTTS was seated at a large table strewn with books anil legal-looking documents, and ho stared In astonishment at tho figure which presented Itself. He, llko tho men on the ranch, had never seen such a costume before. "Are you Mr. Uicketts?" asked his lordship. "I am, sir. "My name Is Stranlcigh. I took tho liberty of calling upon you to learn, If possible, tho whereabouts of Mr. Stanley Armstrong." "Why should I know anything of his whereabouts?" demanded Rick etts, still more grullly. "Permit me to explain " "N'ow, before we go any further," interrupted the lawyer, "I want you to know that this Is a business office; I'm a business man, and my time is valuable. I thought when you came In that you were a client. If you have come hero for gossip, I'm not your man. I have my own affairs to look after." "You state your case very clearly, Mr Rlckt-tts. and I ngratulate your clients. My own time is far from precious; I'm here for sport. Tell me, just how valuable is your time? What Is your fee for an hour's con ference?" "It depends on tho business trans acted." "I can't agree with you, Mr. Rick etts. An hour is an hour. I want to buy sixty minutes of your time and attention. What do you ask for It?" "Five dollars!" snapped Ricketts. Stranlelgh drew forth a five-dollar bill, and placed it on the table. "May I sit down? he Inquired. "No healthy man should be tired In the morning, but I had a long horseback ride yesterday, and an Indifferent night's rest last night." "Where did you come from?" "I have been living for tho past few days at Armstrong's ranch." "Ah, you're tho man that was shot a time back?" "Yes; I was mistaken for your esti mable sheriff, I understand. You see. I camo from New York with a letter of Introduction to Mr. Armstrong. I was told that I might enjoy good fish ing and a little shooting, while Arm strong was described as a most ad mirable guide to these sports. I waited at the ranch day by day, hoping Armstrong would return, but nobody seems to know where he Is, so I came out here, hoping to get Into telegraphic communication with him. I'm well enough now to take part In the chase, and I don't like to return to New York without having had any sport." "I still don't understand why you come to me about the matter," re turned Uicketts, suspiciously. "I was told by his daughter that Armstrong had written you. She does not know in tho least where he Is, and so on the chance of your hav ing received a recent letter, I have called to Inquire." "I see. Armstrong's letter to me was written from Chicago. It was a request for money. I had already loaned him a considerable sum, and was unable to meet his further de mand. I answered to this effect, but have heard no more from him. You don't know the date of the last letter his own people received from him''' "Yes; I have the letter with me,"
