CAT IX LIMBO.

With these words of farewell, Tom drove the spurs into the sides of bis mustang, and dashed up the road. Those whom "ho left did not say much after Tom had gone, but busied themselves with the simple preparations for the funeral. Everything was ready for the last sad rites, and Hiram had brought a lightapring wagon |o the front door, as the undertaker drdve his black-covered wagon through the gate.

Several neighbors arrived, and a Methodise minister, who bad been sent for at the request of the mother, said the last and only prayers ever ottered for Silas Inch. Then the collin was closed, and the sinter dropped a few wild Ilowers upon tne cover—tit emblems of the life other brother. The mother wept plteoualy, aud the tears ran down the deep furrows of her sorrow stricken face, and fell upon the bosom that had pillowed ber lost bov's head, in the far away, unconscious days of his infancy, before the black clouds of reckless manhood lowered over his life.

The little train was slowly passing out •of the front yard when half a dozen mounted men, headed by the sheriff of the county, dashed up to the fence and dismounted. Drawing their revolvers they advanced upoa the procession, and surrounded tbe wagon upon which Hiram was seated, the Sheriff ordered him to alight. "I guess I'll have a chance to git even with the Sinped Cat this time," was the exultant remark of Swingle, who stood closo behind bis superior.

Hiram obeyed the command of the Sheriff without a word, and was immediately handcuffed by the officious Swingle. He was then searched and placed upon a spare horse. Mrs. Inch was so absorbed with ber own grief that she did not notice the rapid movements of her husbaud's captors until Inch said "Good-bye ole woman bury the boy an' come down to the jail.

Then she looked up, but her eye betrayed no more emotion than is nothing unusual was happening—her spirit seemed broken by an overwhelming sorrow. She only asked "What're yer took up lur?" "Highway robbery," replied Swingle "stopped the sts^C'two nights ago right here at this dooi lie's lu fur it now, yon bat/' ft ..j

Tho shsrirt ordered bis uaou to inbuut, and the tw6 parties separated, the mother to pay a mother's last sad tribute over the grave of her son, and the ft»ther to enter a prison cell. .t pi

XI.—"HIE CAT ESOAPSJP AOUl\

As Hlr&th*hich'liy within the narrow coutines of bis prison cell, on the night of his arrest, he made a mental recapitulation of the events of the past few days, and the conclusion he reacned was that Staghart bad been tho oause of all his misfortunes. He had learned from Fogle. who bad by some mean* unknown to Hiram, become cognizant of the Bald Mountain conspiracy, that the story told by Ikes was true tn every particular. All the circumstances pointed to Staghart as his arch enemy and he had no doubt whatever that from Staghart emanated the absurd attempt to replevy the coffin In which lay the body of Silas —an attempt made for the sole purpose of harassing and annoying htin. While he had been in custody he had learned that the charge upon which he had been arrested was based upon the robbery of the mail stage, which passed through Mammoth City about two o'clock each morning. All that was definitely known about the matter was that two mon, one of them very tail and the other considerably shorter, had ordered the driver to bait and throw down the express box. The robbery occurred on the morning that Ikes visited Inch, within an hour after that repentant oonsplrator left the house. Hiram hod no dillkulty in tracing his arrest to Staghart, for the latter was on the stage when it was robbed, and had been more active than anybody else in to!lowing the clue* home to inch. Th»i r**u»H of these reflections was a heartfelt desire for veugeauee upon Staghart and Marks. Iucb's anger did not extend to Ike*, who ho knew had been tooUn the hand* of Staghart. He go jd sehioaboUffh to understand that Ikes had killed Silas in self defense, and bis prqpapt revelation of tbe conspiracy was sufficient to condone all else. During the long hours of the night Hiram meditated, and, as the first light of dawn penetrated the barred window in the wiill above him, he arose, and taking the tin dipper in bis band struck the door of the cell with It several times. In a few momenta a keeper approached the door and asked what be wanted' "My wife," answered Inch, •'It's to* earlv yet," said the jailer. "What time ken I see her," asked Hiram. "About eight o'clock," the ketffcr ^replied. "Send far her?" inquired Inch. 'tit you waut to see her very bad—

"Yes I s'pose he'll defend you—you go before the Justioethis morning on your preliminary examination."

A short conversation absut the rob bery ensued, and the keeper left him. At eight o'oiock Fogle visited him and a long oonsultation followed, inter rupted by the entrance of Mrs. Inch Having received her husband's instructions in regard to sundry minor matters she left, and until half past nine o'clock Fogle and Inch plotted, devising ways and means of escape for Hiram, and revenge upon his enemies.

At half past 9 o'clock, Fogle attended tbe court and obtained a continuanoe of his client's case until tbe next morning This gave both sides an opportunity to gather in all their evidence, and at ten o'clock on the following day the little court room was crowded. The case of tbe People vs. Hiram Inch was called, and after the usual preliminaries tbe prosecution placed their witnesses on tbe stand.

The stage driver swore thx* had boen ordered to halt by two men, about two o'clock on the morning iu question Both of these men were masked, and disguised in heavy overcoats and slouch ed hats. It was dark and raining hard, so that witness could not state positively In regard to any physical peculiarities that might have been apparent if there bad been more light. All that be was positive abont was that one of the men was very tall, and the other rather short, and that both of them carried shotguns. "The wust lookin' weepins o' thet klad I ever examined," he explained, at which the crowd laughed heartily.

William Staghart testified that he was in the stage when it was stopped, and corroborated tbe testimony of the driver lu regard to the general appearance of the men. When asked if he could identify the men, he said he thought he could if they were brought before him dressed as they were upon that occasion. An overcoat and a slouched hat were pro cured and placed upon Iuch, and apiece of black oloth hung over his face. Staghart started with well feigned amazement, and declared that the similarity was perfect, or at least it only required the shotgun to render it so, a remark that caused another burst of laughter from the crowd outside the building. He also testified that he bad assisted in tracing tbe perpetrators of the robbery. He bad taken tbe trouble to return to tbe scene of the crime early on the following morning, postponing his journey and leaving tbe stage at the first stopping place. He had carefully measured the tracks in the mud, and knew the size of tbe boots each man wore. Here he gave the measurements. "Where did yon say you were on the night that this stage was stopped, Mr. Staghart?" asked Fogle. "Go tbe inside of the stage," replied Staghart. "What time did you board the stage?" "About two o'clock." 'Where?" "In Mammoth City." "Are you sure that you got on the stage in Mammoth City?"

Veil, not exactly Mammoth City, but not far from it. I walked out a piece and tbe driver picked me up." "Now, Mr. Staghart, don't you think it was rather a curious proceeding on your part to walk out of town in a driving rainstorm, and wait until the stage came along to pick you up?"

I was wrapped up in a heavy overcoat and£didn't mind it." "Oh, you didn't, eh? Mr. Staghart, where were you two hours before you boarded the stage?"

Staghart started, this time with genuine amazement, but the movement was so slight that it escaped the attention of all except Fogle and Inch, both of whom were watching tho witness like lynxes. "Where was I?" asked Staghart. "Yes, where were you? I think I spoke plainly enough," answered Fogle. "I was at home," replied Staghart. "At home, eh? Remember, Mr. Staghart, that you are on your oatb. Do ou swear positively that you were at otne two hours before you got into that stage?" "X do." "That will do step down."

The next witness called was Phineas Dodd, a shoemaker. This witness testified that he bad made the boots worn by tbe tall robber. He was positive on this point, because they were unusually large, and having viewed tbe tracks in the mud at the instance of the Sheriff, knew tbem as his own manufacture on account of their configuration, and the manner in which tbe heavy nails bad been arranged in the so.»s. He bad made the boots to order for Iliram Iuch, the prisoner at tho bar. Fogle did not question this witness at all, but asked permission to recall tbe driver of the stage. The request was granted and the lawyer fxanaiped him upon when, where, aila*nfw 4ib rtfcetvofcT Staghart as a passenger, and as every, question was objected to by the prosecuting attorney as "irrelevant," and ou the grounds that Staghart was hot oh trial, gained, by counter argument, all the time which he found necessary for tbe safe arrival of a certain important witness.

The prosecution called tbe Sheriff, who corroborate! the testimony of Staghart and tbe shoemaker in regard to tbe tracks in tbe mud. He also detailed the circumstances of tbe arrest.

Fogle only asked this witness a few unimportant but somewhat sarcastic queatfons in regard to whether "this desperate highwayman, only just recovering from asevere gunshot wound, did net make a stubborn resistance when arrested?"

Three physicians were placed on the stand by the prosocution to prove that Inch's wonnds were not of such a character as to prevent his being present or assisting at a stage robbery, especially as It occurred within half a mile of his own door.

The proeeoutlon rested at this point, and Fogle called Levi Marks. Nobody was mors surprised at this summons than Levi himself, and he mounted the stand trembling with fear. "Where were you on the night that this stage was robbed, Mr. Marks?" avked Fogle.. ••Vero vastfT? Shseob and Aberam! I va«h irtft" minfc own tmu*es as hie© mil mine own pats, eo helep me Mosbes." "How long bad you been asleep at the time U»a stage was robbed, Mr. MarksT'T "Mil ine 6rt, Misbt«r Fbgle, yoo don't make out dot I vash shteal dem stage monish?' "I didn't say you stole the 'stage monish,* Mr. Marks. I asked yon how long you had been asleep at tbe time the stage was robbed—it occurred about two o'clock, I believe." "flow TOM I tolo you dot? You ahpose I vash ooont der hoars nnd keep miae eyes shut too?" "Don't equivocate, Mr. Marks, bnt answer my question."

Here the prosecution objected, failing to parcel ro th* pelevancy of the examination, This objection called forth some more sarcastic remarks from Fogle in regard to tbe witness being his and his right to proceed with the examination as he aav At.

The* objection was overftned' by the C..u aai was repeat t»C.

Marks finally said that he did not know how long he had been asleep, but supposed that he fell asleep immediately after going to bed, which important circumstance occurred at about half past nine or ten o'oiock. "Did you see Mr.

Then you did see Staghart that night?" "Yesb." "Whare?" "On der Paid Mountain."

Staghait that night?"

asked Fogle. "I object, your Honor," Interrupted the Prosecuting Attorney "I do not see what Mr. Staghart, in connection with Mr. Marks, has got to do with this robbery. Mr. Fogle has certainly failed to elicit anything from this witness tend lng to show such a conditlan of fact." "Your Hoaor, I wish to show by this witness that Mr. Stagbart's testimony is wholly unworthy of belief, nnder that maxim of law which holds that testimony false in one particular is likely to be false throughout. I wish to Bhow, if I am permitted to do so, that Mr. Staghart was not at home two hours before be took his seat in tbe stage, and moreover tbat he was in the company of this witness under very suspicious circumstances. I will endeavor—" '•How you foun' dot out, Mlshter Fogle? So helup me Aberam, I don't baf notings to do mit der glllln' pizness —Ikesy aoes dot. I fixes der monish pizness." Marks was In a serrible state of mind, and the great beads of perspiration stood out ou his forehead and ran down, like Aaron's ointmen, to his beard. "There, your Honor, vou see that this witness does know something after all. I propose. "Proceed, Mr. Fogle," interrupted the Judge.

"When?" "In der nighdt dimes." "At what time of the night?" f: "Ve vent oop togedther." ,'^t "At what time?" ,, Jfc "Aboudt den o'glock." "What time did you separate?" "About dwelve o'glock. I dold dot Staghart dot dem noisbes vasn't no bine purs, und he laffed mit me. I guess he don't laff no more, py shimrainy!" "No, I guess he don't laugh any more, Marks," said Fogle.

The prosecution now, prompted by Staghart, used every effort to shake Marks' testimony, but without success. "There were some others present at this meeting on Bald Mountain on tbe night of the stage robbery, were there not, Mr. Marks?" asked Fogle as soon as the prosecution had ceased their cross examination. 'J„T "Yesh. Dere vash dot—" "Never mind," said Fogle, waving his hand, "step down."

As Marks left the witness stand a tall, brawny young man, dressed in a heavy overcoat and slouch hat, strode into the court room, Elbowing tbe spectators roughly aside, he stalked to where Inch and Fogle were sittiug. There was a short whispered consultation between the new arrival (whom none of the spectators present rememembered to have ever seen before) and Fogle, after which he walked deliberately to the stand and was sworn. "Your name is—" Fogle waited for a repJy* "Tom Inch," answered the witness. "What is your business, Mr. Inch? "Anything I can lay my hands to," was the ambiguous rejoinder of the young man. "Where were you on the night tbat the stage from Mammoth City was robbed "Part o' the time in the brush, an' pai^ the time on the road." "What were you doing in the brush?" "Puttin' up jobs." "What kind of jobs?" "Robbin'jobs." "To rob what?" "The stage." "Where were you when you were in the brush?" "Purty nigh the top o' Bald Mountain." "Anybody with you?"

II VFLJ "Who?" "Him an'him." The witness pointed at Staghart and Marks, and there was a sensation in the court room. "Wfcio do jou mean by him an' him?" said Fogle. "Be more explicit." "Bill Staghart and Levi Marks." "Anybody else?" "Yes." "Who?"

J'

"I won't tell you.". -1 "Why?" 'Cause he's a white man, an' I don't blow the gaff on white men."

Were you present at the robbery of the stage?"

"What were you doibg there?" 7* "Holdin'a gun." 1 sn •'Anybody with you?" *•-», 7«m "Yes."

"Who?" ...,v "The white man/' "Was this other man tall or short?" "Short." "Are those the clothes you wore when you robbed the stage?" "Them's the duds I hed on w'en I held thet gun." "That's what I mean. Whose boots did you wear that night?" "Did's." "Whom do you mean by dad?""Hiram Inch—the man you folks catl the Singed Cat." "How did you obtain them?" "Stole 'em. Mine was worn out." "Who did you say were implicated with you in this robbery

"One-fourth to each man?" "Yes." "When did Staghart and Marks receive their share?" "Stachart tuk his w'en he come back from Ketsey'a Fiat whar the stage stopped."

you prove what yon sav?" asked

SiSilSs ,J

"Yes." "What is your proof?" "Arrest them two roosters, anMot me turn State's evidence, an' I'll prove it fast enough." "Take tbem into custody, Mr. Sheriff, for tbe present," ordered the judge "we will see about the State's evidence hereafter." "Now, Tncb, what proof have you to offer?" asked Fogle. after Staghart and Marks had been brought forward by the Sheriff. "Search their bouses an' you'll find tbe swag, I reckon," answered Inch. "It's a vile conspiracy," shouted Staghart "I'm Innocent as tbe babe unjaorn. It's all a devilish plot concocted by that scoundrel there," pointing to Hiram. "Mine (ot, my rebudations is ruined. Mine Got, how beebles vaab lie all der dimes. I vash innosbent sbust like Mlshter Shtagbart," screamed the Jew. "Mr. Sheriff, detail some officer to make a thorough search of the premises oocupied by William Stagharl and Levi Marks, and if you find auy of tbe stolen property bring it into court," and tbe order or the judge wa9 promptly obeyed by an active deputy—Sam Swingle, in fact.

While the officer was absent the prosecution attempted to break dowu tbo accusation of Thomas Inch by a rigid oross examination, but' did not succeed, and was still engaged in tbe hopeless task when Swlngie entered bearing in bis hands a sack and a box. The box bore the name of William Staghart. Swingle informed the court that be had found the box in a closet at Stagbart's residence, and the bag behind some tobacco boxes in Mark's store.

This case requires further Investigation," said the judge. "I remand the tartles concerned, including Hiram nch, William Staghart, and Levi Marks, to tbe custody of the Sheriff until more evidence is obtained. Tbe court stands adjournded until to-mor-row at ten o'clock." And amidst a tulmult of excitement,, ejaculations and protestions the prisoners were hurried away.

Fogle was prepared for his move, and by means of a habeas corpus, the District Judge, and the testimony ot Mrs. Inch, Hiram's daughter and the deposition of Ikes, succeeded in freeing his client from the clutches of the law, for a short at least. Tbat night he escaped altogether, for about nine o'clock in the evening a rumor spread through the town (at first vague and doubtful, but finally confirmed) that Hiram Inch had closed his last account on earth—that one hour after obtaining his liberty he bad beou suddenly seized with a fatal sickness, which carried him beyond earthly courts of law and human enemies before medical assistance could be rendered.

As if the good

pe6ple

of Mammoth

City had not experienced sensations enough to last them a decade at least, about two o'clock on the morning following the examination of Iuch the fire bells rang and the town sprang to life again expecting to see itself burn down. The crowd of half dreased men and women, as if by instinct, rushed in the direction of the jail.

Arrived there they ascertained that about half an hour before a dozen of masked men broke into the jail, and before the two keepers could offer any resistance they were overpowered, the keys were taken irom them, and Tom Inch dragged out of his cell and carried off.

Thinking that Vigilantes had taken tbe self-confessed highwayman from his place of confinement and executed summary justice upon him, a party scoured the country expeoting to find his corpse dangling from some tree. But they were disappointed—tbey never saw Tom Inch again.

XII.—CORRESPONDENCE. 1

The next morning tbe citizens of Mammoth City looked at each other in astonishment. Never since the good old days had the little mountain town experienced such wild and startling sensations. A stage robbery, a shooting affray, the arrest of prominent citizens upon henious charges, and a jail delivery, all in the short spaeo of a week. As a matter of course speculation was rife, and every gossip, male or female, had his or her theory of the whole transaction or serios of transactions. Some held to tbe belief tbat Staghart, Inch, Marks, Ikes, and even Fogle, were all concerned at the start in some gigantic scheme of villainy—they intended to steal the town, in all probability, and, having disagreed as to the share which each was to receive, bad quarreled, and, as the old adage goes, honest men would get their ues. Just bow these conspirators had fallen out, or how the honest citizens were to get their "dues," was net quite so clear. Tbat there bad been a clique or combination of cliques there was no doubt whatever, and tbat the

members of those cabals had plotted and schem'ed against each other was apparent from tbe recent developments.

Inch dead and Staghart in jail charged with complicity in a stage robbery, tbe two political conventions must reassmble and nominate new candidates for Sheriff. These nominations were directed as usual by Fogle, although there was a growjng suspicion that he was the chief conspirator in the recent events.

But as those who were opposed to him could prove nothing satisfactorily •against him, they were unable to checkmate bis wily machinations.

On tbe morning after the reported death of Inch, hundreds went to bis house to "view the oorpse," bnt most of tbem were refused admittance by hia widow. Only a few quasi friends of tbe deceased were allowed to see tbe remains, and although these favored individuaLs confirmed the report of his death, those who were denied the pleasure of looking at "tbe Singed Cat without a single life in his carcase" were strnnons in their assertions tbat it was only "another trick of the old scoundrel."

Hiram's funeral was attended by a large number of tbe residents of Mammoth City, who saw tbo coffin lowered into the grave, beard the piteous wailing of mother and daughter, and afterward told tho whole story 10 tbe dapper little insurance agent, who visited the village a second timetosoe tbat everything was regular before paying five thousand dollars to tbe family of tbe deceased. He found "everything regular," and the money was handed over to Mrs. Inch, who shortly after sold tbe rookery and contingent desert for a fair sum, and with her daughter moved away from that locality.

"Are you friendly with your father?" •'No, him an' me piaou." "Then why did you come here to testify, and in his favor?" "'Cause I'm white, thet's why an' Bill Staghart's played it too low dowu in this yer business. He'd no call to have the ol' man pulled on the grudge he had agin him. Mebbe be thought I'd lot him llnch the ol' man 'cause we don't hitch, but he'll slip up oa tbat little game. KB for Markaey, he wanted ter wise my dead brothers oofflu tbe other day for a debt, an' egged on a d—d deputy sheriff to insult my mother a the grand jury, but tbo cases were oondoin U. But I b'lieve tbat wnite livered tinned from tlrao to time, until at laat skunk Bill I Staghart's at the bottom o' the wholo biaaesa, an' mebbe Markaey ain't so much ter blame but they're runnin' pards an* thet settles It ez fur ez I'm concerned."

Ikes was not tried for attempting to mnrder Hiram Inch. The proeecntion not appearing to have a strong case, the whole Biatter waa thrown out of court by means of a nolle prosequi. He proved tbat he acted In self defense in tbe affair with Silas Inch, and a jury acquitted him.

Staghart and Marks were Indicted by
