THE GREAT K. AND A. TRAIN ROBBERY.

By PAUL LEICESTER TOED.

[Conyright, lfcW. by J. B. Llppincott Company.) Wnen 1 reaction me mam street, j. saw that my hope was futile, for another batch of cowboys were coining iu full gallop toward me, very thoroughly heading mo off in that direction. To escape them I headed up the street away from the station, with the pack in close pursuit. They yelled ut me to hold up, and I expected every moment to hear the crack of revolvers, for the poorest shot amoug I'lem would have found 110 difficulty in dropping my lior.se at that distance if t..ey had wanted to stop me. It isn't a very nico sensation to keep your cars pricked up in expectation of hearing the shooting begin and to know that any moment may be your last. I don't suppose I was 011 the ragged edge more than ^0 seconds, but they were enousrh to Drove to mo that to keep 0110't back turned to an enemy as one runs away takes a deal more pluck than to stand up and face his gun. Fortunately for 111c, my pursuers felt so sure of my capturo that not one of them drew a bead on me.

The 1110111' nt I saw that there was 110 escape I put my hand in my breast pocket and took out the letters, intend-

-v^rj ifrl' '2r+

1 turned across the railroad track. ing to tear them into 100 pieces. But as I did so I realized that to destroy United States mail not merely entailed criminal liability, but was off color morally. I faltered, balancing the outwitting of Cam^against state prison, the doing my best for against the wrong of it. I think I 111 as honest a fellow as the average, but I have to confess that couldn't decide to do right till I thought that Madge wouldn't want me to be dishone-'t, even for her.

I turned across the railroad track and cut in behind some freight cars that •were standing 011 a siding. This put me out of view of ruy pursuers for a moment, and in that instant- I stood up in my stirrups, Jilted the broad leather flap of the saudlo and tucked the letters underneath it. as far in as I could force them. It was a desperate place in which to hide them, but the game was a desperate one at best, uid the very boldness of the idea might be its best chance of success.

I was now heading for the station over the ties and was surprised to see Fred Culleu with Lord Ralles on the tracks up by the special, for my mind liad been so busy in the last hour that I had forgotten that Fred was due. The moment I saw him I rode toward him, pressing my pony for all ho was worth. My hope was that I might get time to give Fred the tip as to where the letters were, but before I was within speiiking distance Baldwin came running out from behind the station, and. seeing me, turned, called back and {gesticulated, evidently to summon some cowboys to head mo off. Afraid to shout anything which should convey the slightest clew as to the whereabouts of the letters, as the next best thing I pulled a couple of old section reports from my pocket, intending to ride up and run into my car, for I knew that the papers in my hand would be taken to bo the wanted letters and that if I could only get inside the car even for a moment tho suspicion would bo that I had been.able to hide them. Unfortunately the plan was no sooner thought of "than I heard tho whistle of a lariat, and before I could guard myself the noose settled over my head. I threw the papers toward Fred and Lord Ralles, shouting, "Hido them!" Fred was quick as a Cash, and, grabbing them off tho ground, sprang up tho^stcps of my car and ran inside, just escaping a bullet from my pursuers. I tried to pull up my pony, for I did not want to bo jerked off, but I was too late, and the next moment I was lying on the ground in a pretty well shaken and jarred condition, surrounded by a lot of men.

CHAPTER XTT, AN EVENING IN JAIL.

Beforo my ideas had had time to slfaighten themselves out I was lifted to my feet and half pushed, half lifted, to the station platform. Camp was al-1 ready there, and as I took this fact in I saw Frederic and his lordship pulled through the doorway of my car by the cowboys and dragged out on the platform beside mo. The reports were now in Lord Italles' hands. "That's what we want, boys, "cried Camp, "those letters." "Take ycur hands off me," said Lord Ralles coolly, "and I'll give them to you."

Tho men who had hold of his arms let go of him, and quick as a flash .llalles toro the papers in two. He tried to tear them once more, but before I10 could do so half a dozen men were hold

ing him and tho papers were forced out of his hands. Albert Culleu—for all of them were on the platform of 318 by this time—shouted, "Well done, Ralles!" quite forgetting in the excitement of the moment his English accent and drawl. Apparently unp didn't agree with him, for I10 ripped out a string of oa'hs which I10 impartially divided among Ralles, tho cowboys and myself. I is decidedly sorry that I hadn't given tho real letters, for his lordship apparently had no scruple about destroying tlicni, and I knew few men whom I wou'd have seen behind prison bars with as little personal regret. However, no one had apparently paid the slightest attention to the pony, and the probabilities were that he was already headed for Baldwin's ranch, with no likelihood of his stopping till lie reached home. At least that was what I hoped, but there were a lot of ponies standing about, and, not knowing tho markings of the one I had ridden, I wasn't able to tell whether ho might not be among them.

Just as tho fragments of the« apers were passed over to Mr. Camp no was joined by Baldwin and the judge, and Camp held the torn pieces up to them, saying: "They've torn the proxies in two." "Don't let that trouble you," said the judge. "Make an affidavit before me, reciting the manner iu which they were destroyed, and I'll grant 3-011 a mandamus compelling the directors to accept them as bona iide proxies. Let me sco how much injured they are."

Camp unfolded the papers and I chuckled to myself at the look of surprise tli at overspread his face as ho took in tho fact that they were nothing but section reports. And, though I don't like cuss words, I have to acknowledge that I enjoyed the two or three that he promptly ejaculated.

When tho first surprise of the trio was over, they called on the sheriff, wno arrived opportunely, to take us intSj7 and search the three of us, a proceeding that puzzled Fred and his lordship not a little, for they weren't 011 to tho fact that tho letters hadn't been recovered. I presume the latter will some day writo a book dwelling 011 the favorite theme of tho foreigner—that there is no personal privacy in America. The running remarks as tho search was made seemed to open Fred's eyes, for ho looked at me with a puzzled air, but I winked and frowned at him, and he put his face in ttrder.

When tho papers were not found on any of us, Camp and Baldwin both nearly went demented. Baldwin'suggested that I had never had the papers, but Camp argued that Fred or Lord Ralles must, have hidden them in the car in spite of the fact that the cowboys who had caught them insisted that they couldn't have had time to hide the papers. Anyway they spent.au hour in ferreting about in my car, and even searched my two darkies, on the possibility that the true letters had been passed on to them.

While tlicy were engaged in this I was trying to think out some way of lotting Mr. Cullcn and Albert know where the letters were. The problem wiis to suggest tho saddle to them without letting the cowboys understand, and by good luck I thought I had the means. Albert bad coTiijilnincil the dnvwe had ridden out to the Indian dwellings at Flagstaff that his saddle fretted some galled spots which he had chafed on his trip to Moran's Point. Hoping he would "catch on," I shouted to him: "How are your sore spots, Albert?"

He looked at me in a puzzled way and called, "Aw—I don't understand you!" "Those sore spots you complained about to me tho day before yesterday,1' I explained.

He didn't seem any the less befogged as ho replied, 'I had forgotten all about them.'' "I've got a touch of the same trouble," I went on, "and if I were you I'd look into tho cause."

Albert only looked very much mystifibd, and I didn't dare say more, for at this point the trio, with the sheriff, came out of my car. If I hadn't known that the letters were safe, I could have read the story in their faces, for more disgusted anil angry looking men I have rarely seen.

They had a talk with the sheriff, and then Fred, Lord Ralles and I were marched off by the official, his lordship demanding sight of a warrant and protesting against the illegality of his arrest, varied at moments by threats to appeal to the British consul, minister plenipo., her majesty's foreign office, etc., all of which had about as much in-1 fiuence 6u the sheriff and his cowboy assistants as a Moqui Indian snake dance would have in stopping a runaway engine. I confess to feeling a certain grim satisfaction in the fact that if I was to be shut off from seeing Madge tho Britisher was in the same box with me.

Ash Forks, though only 6 years old, had advanced far enough toward civilization to liavo a small jail, and into that we were shoved. Night was come by tho time wo were lodged there, and, being in pretty good appetite, I struck tho sheriff for some grub. "I'll git you somethin," he said good naturcdly, "hut next timo you shove people, Mr. Gordon, just quit sliovin your friends. My shoulder feels like"— Perhaps it's just as well not to say what his shoulder felt like. The western vocabulary is expressive, but at times not quite lit for publication.

Tho moment tho sheriff was gone Fred wanted the mystery of tho letters explained, and I toid him all there was to tell, including as good a description of tho pony as I could give him. We tried to hit on somo plan to get word to those out3ide, but it wasn't to he dono. At least it was a point gained that somo one of our party besides myself knew whore the letters were.

The sheriff returned presently with a I loaf of canned bread and a tin of beans. If I had been alone, I should have kicked at the food and got permission for my boys to send mo up something from 1)7, but I thought I'd sco how Lord Ralles

I.-,

would liko genuine western fare, so I said nothing. That, I have to state, is more—or rather less—tnan tno urnisner did after he had sampled the stuff, and really I don't blame him, much as I enjoyed his rage and disgust.

It didn't take long to finish our .supper, and then Fred, who hadn't slept much tho night before, stretched out on the floor and went to sleep. Lord Ralles and I sat on boxes—tho only furniture tho room contained—about as far apart as wo could get, I10 in the sulks and I whistling cheerfully. I should have liked to bo with Madge, but he wasu't, so thcro was somo compensation, and I knew that timo was playing tho cards in our favor. So long as tliey hadn't found tho letters we had only to sit still to win.

About an hour after supper the sheriff came back and told mo Camp'and Balil-

'•Well, Mr. Gordon, you've played a prett]/ cute gamble." win wanted to see me. I saw no reason to object, so in they came, accompanied by the judge. Baldwin opened tho ball by saying: "Well, Mr. Gordon, you've played a pretty cute gamble, and I suppose you think youf/staud to win the pot. "I'm not complaining," I said. "Still," said Camp angrily, as if my contented manner fretted liim, "our time will come presently, and we can make it pretty uncomfortable for you. Illegal proceedings put a man in jail in the long run.'' "I hope you take your lesson to teart, I remarked cheerfully, which tuado Camp scowl worse than ever.

Now,'' said Baldwin, who kept cool, 'we know you are not risking loss of position and the state's prison for nothing, and we want to know what there is in it for you." "I wouldn't bet my chance of state's prison against yours, gentlemen. And while I may lose mv position I'll be a long way from star#, ion." "That doesn't tell us what Cullen gives you to take the risk." •'Mr. Cullen hasn't given or even hinted that he'll give anything." "And Mr. Gordon hasn't asked, and, if I know him, wouldn't take a cent for what he has done," said Fred, rising from the floor. "Yon mean to say you are doing it for nothing?" exclaimed Camp, incredulously. "That's abont the truth of it," I said, though I thought of Madge as I said it and felt guilty in suggesting that she was nothing. "Then what is your motive?" cried Baldwin.

If there had been any use, I should have replied, "The right/' but I knew that they would only think I was posing if I said it. Instead I replied: "Mr. Cullen's parry has the stock majority in their favo/ and would havo won a fair light if you had played fair. Since you didn't, I'm doing my best to put thing3 to rights."

Camp cried, "All the more fool"— but Baldwin interrupted liim by saying: "That only shows what a mean cuss Cullen is. He ought to give you §10,000 if he gives you a cent.'' "Yes," cried Camp, "those letters are worth money, whether he's offered it or not.'' "Mr. Cullen never so much as hinted paying me,'' said I. "Well, Mr. Gordon," said'Baldwin suavely, "we'll show you that we can be liberal. Though the letters rightfully belong to Mr. Camp, if you'll deliver them to us we'll see that you don't lose your place, and wo'll give you $5,000."

I glanced at Fred, whom I found looking at me anxiously, and asked him: "Can't you do better than that'" "Wo could with anyone but you," said Fred.

I should havo liked to shako hands over this compliment, but I only nodded, and, turning to Mr. Camp, said: "You sec how mean they are." "You'll find we are not built that way," said Baldwin. "Five thousand isn'-t a bad day's work, eh?" "No," I said, laughing, "but you just told me I ought to get $10,000 if I got a cent.'' "It's worth $10,000 to Mr. Cullen, but''—

I interrupted by saying, "If it's worth $10,000 to hiiii, it's worth $100,000 to me.''

That was too much for Camp. First he said something best omitted, and then went 011, "I told you it was waste lime trying to win him over."

The tliree stood apart for a moment whispering, and then Judge Wilson willed the sheriff over and they all went out together. Tho moment wo wero alone Frederic held out his hand and said: "Gordon, it's no use saying anything, but if we can ever do"—

I merely shook hands, but I wanted the worst way to say: "Tell Madge."

CHAPTER

a ij:sson' iy rouTrxnss.

Within live minutes we had a big surprise, for the slinriff and Mr. Baldwin came back, and the former announced tlnf Fred and Lord Ralk.s were free, licviuir borm reh-.-uied on bail.

*x I *t

When we found that Camp had gone on tho bond, 1 knew that there was a scheme of smno. sort in tho move, and, talcing Fred aside, I warned him against trying to recover the proxies. "They probably think that one or the other of you knows whore tho letters arc hidden, I whispered, "and they'll keep a watch 011 you, so go slow."

Ho nodded and followed the sheriff and Lord Ralles out. Tho moment they were gone Mr. Baldwin said, "I came back to give you a last fliauce." "That's viry good of you," I said. "Iwarn you," he said threateningly, "we are not men to lie beaten. There "re CO cowboys of mine in this town who think you were concerned in tho holding up. By merely tipping them tho wink they'll have you out of this, and after they've got yon outside I wouldn't give, the toss of a nickel for your life. Now, then, will you hand over those letters or will you go to inside of ten minutes?''

I lost my temper in turn, "I'd much prefer going to somo place where 1 was less sure of meeting you," 1 retorted, "and, as for the cowboys, you'll have to bo as tricky with them as von want to be with 1110 lie fore you'll get them to back you up in your dirty work."

At this point the sheriff called back to ask Baldwin if he was coming. "All right." cried Baldwin and wont to the door. "This is the last call," ho said, pausing for a moment 011 the threshold. "I hope so," said I, more calmly in manner than in feeling, I have to acknowledge, jr I didn't like the look of things. Tht they were in earnest, I felt pretty certain, for I understood now why they had let my companions out of jail. They didn't care to risk hanging more than was necessary. f: J-

Along time seemed to pass after they wero gone, but in reality it w:.wn"t more than 15 minutes beforo I heard some one steal up and softly unlock the door. 1 confess the evident endeavor to do it quietly gave 111c a scare, for it seemed to 1110 it couldn't be an above board movement. Thinking this. I picked up the box 011 which I had been silting and prepared to make the best fight I could. It was good deal of relief, therefore, when the door opened just wide enough for a man to put in his head, and I heard the sheriff's voice say softly: "Hi, Gordon!"

I was at the door in an instant and asked: "What's up?" "They'regettin the boys together and sayin that you shot a woman in the hold up." "It's an infernal lie," I said. "Sounds Muit way to me," said the sheriff, "bru two-thirds of the boys are drunk, and it's along time since they've had any fun.'' "Well," I said, as calmly as I could, "are you going to stand by me?" "I would, Mr. Gordon," he replied, "if thcro was any good, but there ain't time to get a posse, and what's one Winchester against a mob of cowboys like them?" "If you'll lend me your gun," I said, "I'll show just what it is worth without troubling you." "I'll do better than that, said the sheriff, "and that's what I'm here for. Just sneak while there's time." "You meau"— I exclaimed. "That's it. I'm goin away, and I'll leave the door unlocked. If you get clear, let me know your address, and later, if I want you, I'll send you word." He took a grip on my fingers that numbed them as if they liad been caught in an airbrake and disappeared.

I slipped out after the sheriff without loss of time. That there wasn't much to spans was shown liy a crowd with some torches down tho street, collected in front of a saloon. They were making a good deal of noise, even for the west. Evidently the flame was being fanned. Not wasting time, I struck for the railroad, because I knew the geography of that best, but still more because Iwam-

I dropped down on my hands and knees. ed to get to the station. It was a big risk to go there, but it was 0110 I was willing to take for the objcA I had in view, and, since I had to take it, it was safest to get through with the job before the discovery v/as made that I was no longer in jail.

It didn't lake me three minutes to reach the station. Tho whole place was black as a coal dumper, except for the slices of light which shone through tho cracks of tho curtained windows in the specials, tho dim light of the lamp in tho station and the glow c-f the row of saloons 200 feet away. I was afraid, however, that there might be a spy lurking somewhere, for it was likoh that Camp would hope to get somo clew of the letters by keeping a watch on the station and tho cars. Thinking boldness tho safest course, I walked 011 to tit" platform without hesitation and went into tho station. The "night man" was sitting in his chair, nodding, but he waked up the moment I spoke. 'Don't speak my name,'' I said warn-

«,?"

ingly as lie struggled to ins l'eet, and then in the fewest possible words I told him what I wanted of him—to find if tho pony I had ridden (Camp's or Baldwin's) was in town, and, if so, to learn where it was and to get the letters 011 the quiet from under the saddle flap. I clioso this man, first, because I could trust him aud, next, because I liad only one of the Cullcns as an alternative, and if any of them went sneaking round it would bo sure to attract attention. "The moment you liavo the letters put them in the station safe," I ended, "and then get word to me." "And where'11 you be, Mr. Gordon?" asked the num. "Is there t-iy place about here that'* a safe biding spot for a few hours?" I asked. I want to stay till I'm sure those letters are safe, and after that I'ii steal 011 board the first train that comes along.' "Then you'll want to be near here, said the man. "I'll tell you—I've got just the place for you. Tho platform's boarded in all round, but I noticed one plank that's loose at one end. right at this nigh corner, and if you just pry it open ev.ough to get in and then pull the board in place they'll never find you." "That will do," I said, "and when the letters are siifecome out out lie platform, walk up and down once, bang the door twice, and then say, "That local freight is lato.' And if you get a chaneo tell 0110 of the Cullcns where I'm hidden.

I crossed the platform boldly, jumped down and walked away. But after going CO feet I dropped down on my hands and knees and crawled back. Inside of two minutes I was safely stowed away under tho platform in about as neat a hiding place as a man could ask. In fact, if I had only had my wits enough about me to borrow a revolver of the man, I could havo mado a pretty good defense, even if discovered.

Underneath tho platform was loose gravel, and as an additional precaution I scooped out, close to the side boarding, a trough long enough for me to lie in. Then I got into the hole, shoveled the sand over my legs aud piled the rest up in a heap close to me, so that by a few sweeps of my arm I could cover my whole body, leaving only my mouth and nose exposed, and those below the level. That made mo feel pretty safe, for, even if the cowboys found the loose plank and crawled in, it would take uncommon good eyesight in the darkness to find me. I had hollowed out my living grave to lit, and if I could have smoked I should havo been decidedly comfortable. Sleep I dared not indulge in, and the sequel showed that I was right in not allowing myself that luxury.

I hadn't much more than comfortably settled myself and let thoughts of a cigar and a nap flit through my mind when a row up the street showed that the jail breaking bail been discovered. Then followed shouts anil confusion for a few moments, while a search was being organized. I heard some horsemen ride over the tracks, and also down the street, followed by the hurried footsteps of half a dozen men. Somo banged at rtio doors of the specials, while others knocked at the station door.

One of the Cullcns' servants opened the ilooi of 218, aud I heard tho sheriff's voicM telling him he'd got to search the car. The ikirky protested, saying that the "geutmun was all away and only de miss inside." The row brought Miss Cullen to the door, aud I heard her ask what was tho matter. "Sorry to trouble you, miss, said the sheriff, "but a prisoner has broken jail, and we've got to look for him." "Escaped!" cried Madge joyfully. "How?" "That's just what gits away with me," said the sheriff. "My idee is"— "Don't waste time on theories," said Camp's voice angrily. Search the car.'' "Sorry to discommode a lady," said the sheriff gallantly, "but if we madjust look around a little?" "My father and brothers went out a few minutes ago," said Madgo hesitatingly, "and I don't know if they would bo willing." 1

Camp laughed angrily aud said, "Stand aside there." "Don't you worry," said the sheriff. "If he's on the car, he can't git away. We'll send a feller up for Mr. Cullen, whilo we search Mr. Gordon's car and the station."

Tliey set about it at once and used up ten minutes in the task. Then I heard Camp say: "Come, wo can't wait all night for permission to search this car. Go ahead." "I hope you'll wait till my father comes," said Mad e. "Now go slow, Mr. Camp," said tho sheriff. "We mustn't discomfort tho lady if we can avoid it. "I believe you're wasting time in order to help him escape," sputtered Camp, so amrry an hardly to bo able to articulate. "If you won't do your duty, I'll take tho law into my own hands and order the car searched." "Notliiu of tho kind," said tho sheriff. "But when a female is in question a gentleman, Mr. Camp—yes, sir, a gentleman—is in duty bound to be pcrlitc." "Politeness be j" cried Camp. "Git angry as you like," said tho sheriff wrathl'ully, "but me if any cuss Ihis a right to use such talk in tho prescnco of a lady!"
