CHAPTER XVII.
A PLUNGE.EH THE DARK
Bell Diamond drew himself dpwn into the wreck of th6 boat after he had discovered that Grimsbaw and Doc were near his hiding place, but kept an ear open to the conversation that was passing between them. "I ran down from the train and left in charge of young Edward Dupage, Grimsbaw was saying. "I went to the' Italian's and called for you couldn't And you, so I hired a boat and rowed op. Fortunate you are here." "I was looking for that young fellow, Bell Diamond he's slipped us again." "No!" "Yes and he's kicked the backet, hunting for his body." "His body?" echoed Grimshaw, "Yes." "Was he drowned?"
I'm
Yes the horse and wagon were found half a mile from here, the horse with a bloody foot—doubtless he kicked young Diamond in the head—and a little below here there were signs of a souffle on the beech. The ebb tide surely took the body out. There's ao*Sgn of an esca through the woods. You see, the kid .gave us the slip by jumping through a second story window ana into a wagon. Then he drove away like the wind, but the horse got frightened and the fellow waxkllled." "Good!" "That's what I say. He was too much in our way to get out alive."
The.young railroader listened intent
"Howts the road running, Grimsbaw?" asked the gambler after a pause. "First rate I presented the order we made Diamond sign when he was drug* ged, and It was honored by his employ ere. I'm his agent until the monthly payment comes around then I'll light out.*'
Bell was astounded. The villainy of these men seemingly knew no bounds. "A&d about the bonds?" queried Doc. "Tbat'a what I came to see you about. The ooney dodge is posted all over the country. Two of the boys were bagged this morning at Cedarvllle tor passing fivers." "No!" "Yes. The game's scented everywhere and the whole issue is net worth a penny." "How was thatf" "Why, the den at Rockville was burned last night, but somehow a package of the coney was picked up by the cops and the whole affair was telegraphed everywhere this morning." •'That's bad:" "Yea, so let's stick to the legitimate, kfter this haul there's nothing more to temade out of Ed Dupage or Sam Arnold. Both are under suspicion at headquarters and will be watched. The railroad is earning about five hundred dollar* a week, ami 1 ain't paying out a cent that make* nearly twenty-five thousand dollars when we shove those bonds." "1 thought Isaacs offered to take them," Interrupted Doe. "He did." "Then why not sell them?" "He wasted fifty per oeat. off tor the risk of handling tfiem."
Too big a shave." "That was it." "Have you got them now?" "Yes." "About you?" "Yea." "Ain't that dangerous?" "Rather." "Then why not hide them?" "I'm going to." "WbenT" "Now and here." "Short and sweet my covey, but I don't see the place." "Well, IX*,T11 tell you. In my belief you and I and the whole gang are spot* ted. I'ui going to make a run for it next week. Meantime, the posfttaioaof these bonds means arreat." "Sure.** I
,c
"So I ain't fo$ng to carry them until I get ready to start.'1 "With me?" "With you, of course, Doc we're too old pals to split." "Where will yon put them?" 'The bonds? Right in this old hulk," here?" "Why here? *»Seehere. 1 this place, aln
Doc, you'reconvenient to you?"
"So am I. I can slip off the train and daah over here at any Ume, then we'll skip over the lake and give them the alip." "That's sense, Grimshaw." '•This deck ia doable. I'll take up a plank and put them In there.** "Thev'll get wet." "I've got them covered with oU skin. They'll be safe
enough."
The sound, as If a chisel and hammer
were being used, broke upon the young railroader's ear. Then a noise at of renailing a boaftct and of the gurgling of Uquor from a bottle, Informed him that e, and the two were in a drink, said Grimshaw,
the wom was pledgingei I mttst be after a "Back to "Yeai!**'"" "When "Soon." *'Aud we ftfcke break ••Yea." "All right.' Have you the pass word
filet" queried Doc.
I,hear from you again?" next week?
"It's Staten Island.1^ "And the challenge?" queried Grimshaw. "Auburn.-" "Suggestive! Well, good-by.1'
There was the sound of departing oars and seon thereafter Doc arose and left the beat. Bell did not trast himself aboard jost yet, however. He lay still for over an hour, and them came upon deck.
What should he do? The counterfeiters believed him dead, yet be would be deteoted if he was u«t careful. To go to'Cedarville would be to lie in jail or be recaptured by the burglars. He bad no evidence to prove bis innocence of the charges laid to hiss, and to return the bonds would be a dangerous experiment, as they would say he bad always had them.
Poor lad! Plucky and honest, a web of circumstances had woven an Interminable net of suspicion about him He raised the plank of the deck without difficulty and abstracted the oil skin package. "I'll save this and return It anyhow," he murmured to himself, secreting it about his person.
He waited until the shades of evening were closing over the clouded landscape and then hastened along the beach and through the woods, evading open thoroughfares, and keeping clear of the counterfeiter's den. He reached a little station on the Clifton & Cedarville railroad about nine o'clock in the evening.
Jest rounding a curve and goin northward was the train—his train! an* as it swept by he swung himself on the rear platform.
Fatal error. There stood Grimshaw alone. As he saw the young man he gave a sudden cry of alarm and recovered himself as the train entered a bridge.
Grimsbaw, with an oath, caught the young railroader in his arms and with a -sudden, desperate movement, dashed him from the platform. He turned with a shudder of horror, despite his wickedness. as he saw tbe body whirl through ithe darkness, and then every drop of his heart's blood seemed to congeal as be looked baok and found himself face! to face with John Black!
MFiend incarnate!" The words were hissed with an emphasis which made Grimshaw Bhudder -and then he felt the long bony fingers of the ex-tramp clutch bis throat. He caught at the knob of tbe car door as he felt his body bent half over tbe Iron railing surrounding the platform of the coach. He writhed in the terrible grip of the avenger, who seemed to have arisen upon the track of the friendless boy, whom he had
Bought to
Tbe train was-soon reversed and the ecplanation given by the conductor that a passenger had been left behind.
Tbe ex-tramp followed bis prisoner from tbe car and descended the sides of tbe track with a lantern. Not a trace of the lost boy could be found.
Ah! I-see him," feigned the gambler, peering over a break in the embankment.
Where?" There, near yonder pile," replied the man.
Blaek lost bis usual caution in his anxiety about Bell, The ex-tramp leaned over tbe em bankment ana peered down into the dark depths below.
Fatal movement. The man beside him cast one quick look at the train above, and then with a desperate push, sent bis -companion hurling through space, with the muttered words: ''Go join your friend since you're so anxious about him!"
Then he returned to the train and it moved on. leaving the ex-brakeman and Bell Diamond to their fate.
When ho reached Asbton that night, the gambler flashed a message over tbe wire to hie confederate: "Doc "The game's played. Meet me at the old hulk at noon to-morrow. "GRIM."
And the reply came: •GRIM: O.K. Doc."
CHAPTER XVIII. THE TREASURE.
In order to weave the web aad woof of our narrative systematically and undent tandingly, we must convey tbe readers to another part of the country, and carry them back three months In the date of our story.
A lonely gulch in one of the inland counties of the Golden state—huge rocks and blue sky far above, a purling stream and dense shadow in tbe ravine below. sHeee in the gully a miniature town, consisting only of temporary tents, prominent among which was one exhibiting tbe painted words, on erode sign board tied over the entrance:
Goiconda Saioon. Victuals and Drinks,
It was a roomy enough place, this auriferous tavern, but its accommodations were of the most primitive description. A keg of liquor, several glasses, a rude board bar, and a half dozen rudely constructed tables and stools completed the contents of the place, where a dozen red in amok* cards. For the most part they wore a belt, glitterrith knife and revolver, indicated a
shirted miners were en ing, drinking and playing
tngwitb desperate state of afffcirs among the band of aaventdieM.
Suddenly a hush went around the place—a man had entered, and the advent of this peraoaage seemed to have a «ing«iai» and varied effect on the members of tbe saloon. He waa a tali, careworn man of perhaps forty-five, of sober demeanor and earnest, thoughtful eyes. Some regarded him curiously, eome vindictively, none with a friendly eye. He walked up to the bar, drew a bottle from his pocket and said in a low tone
0t,«A*p4nt
of liquor, the best"
••Come toyer milk, eh?" said Calaveras Dick, the bully of the mines. "No I don't drink." "Then what's the liquor fetf Mebbe to plzen the boys, eh?" sneered tbe ruffian, edging toward tbe man awl "spoil-

but be was powerless. "Fiend incarnate!" again muttered the man, "but that it would cheat the gallows I would grind you to powder!" "Let me go!" cried the gambler. "Let you go? Never, until you agree to reverse tne car to the bridge." "I will do it," answered Grimshaw, "and at once."

dying of the
horrors, If you want to know the truth, and I'm attending him." The braggart fell back crestfallen at the silent reproach In the stranger's eyes. The latter paid for the liquor and left the saloon. "Who is be, anyhow," demanded Cal aveias Dick, after a p»asa, "A brick!" spoke up one of the better hearted miners, "He's tend in' a feller he never spoke two words to."
A sneak, more like," Jeered Dick. your tends a down on us poor devils." "He'd wallop you in a trice," said a miner. "He's a quiet inoffensive man as minds his own business and never drinks, nor smokes, nor oh eats, nor
S1on
mbles. I've seen him lift a rock as Cripple Dan that two on us could not budge." "I'll make him drink a pint of liquor or eat my boots!" cried the bully, thoroughly exasperated at the tone or public opinion. "No ye won't!" cried Cripple Dan. "He'd lick daylight outer ye." "He would, would he?1' roared the bully. "Hyar, Sam," to the saloon keeper's lad, "you go to Whisky Bill's and' tell that white livered, high moral oayotetbat I'll oome over and lav him out ei he don't oome hyar Inside of half an hour."
Tbe boy did not stir, but as the bully tossed blm a nugget of gold, he started quickly on his mission.
Tbe miners paused at their game and awaited the return of the bey. A fight was fun among tbe miners, and the men were anxious to see the termination of Dick's threat. They bad net long to wait tbe boy soon returned. "Wafll, what does he say?" asked Calaveras Dick, coarsely. "He says he'll be here." ...• "He will, eh? Wall, he'd better.1^
Ten minutes elapsed, fifteen, and then a straight, tall form stood in the doorway of the saloon. "Which Is Calaveras Dick?" he asked calmly, facing the silent crowd before tflm. "Me," said the bully, arising from his seat and swaggering upto the bar. "You sent for me. What do you want?" "I want ye to drink with me." "I never drink." "You don't eb?" sneered the bully. "No sir." "Do ye know who I aetf?" "Yes." "Have you ever heard of my record?'
xNo."
"Wall, I've laid out better men than ye fer refusin' a nip with me and in this case it's drink or fight:" "I shall not drink," was the oool re *turn.
The bully faltered under the calm, •steady glance of bis adversary, but the eves of Lucky Gulch were upon him. He drew his bowie knife and raising it in his hand flung it downward on the broad counter ofthe bar. It stuck there quivering—a challenge te the self possessed man before blm.
Would he accept the menace? A breathless silence prevailed. He neith er drew his revolver nor knife he simply arose In his might, took one long, significant look at tne bully, and said: "Are you ready?" "Yes
One step forward, and' then his fist (flashed out and the roffian measured his length on tbe flcor.
He arose infuriated, losing all self control,-and rushed for his knife. The blade went whirling through tbe open doorway, while tbe bully again fell prostrate to tbe ground. "If you are not satisfied^' said Jack Diamond, in bis cool, calm tone of voice, "I'll give you a chance at pistol practice any time you set."
The bully did not reply. He had had enough, and slunk away uttering threats under his breath.
The stranger bowed calmly to the si lent miner and left the tent, Just as he reached the door of the place, however, a wild figure startled the men, as It clutched at the arm of Jaok (Diamond.
Shivering, shuddering, wild eyed and almost destitute of clothing, stood Whisky Bill." "Where's Calaveras Dick?" he cried, in a wild tone of voice, looking around the tent nervously. "Here," apoke a voice. "I want you come, hurry up. The devil's in my tent and wants to poker with you for my soul. Oh don't refuse me, Diek. You know yoa can beat him. Will you come?" "No."
The poor maniac looked around piteously. Diamond raised a pistol and fired in the air, letting out an unearthly yell at the same time. "We've settled him," he said sooth ingly to Bill.
Did you slioot the devil? Is he dead? eagerly demanded the man. Yes come, I'll go back to your tent with you."
The man was quieted, but only temporarily. He raved and shrieked all the night through, and in the morning lapsed into a dull state of coma preoed-
ing death. "Are you feebly, after along silence.
•Are you there, Jack," he asked,
"Yea." "I'm goin', Jack, goin' fast." "I'm afraid so, Bill." Tbe man groaned feebly. "You're poor, ain't you, Jack?" he asked, after a pause. "Never mind me, Bill think of your •eul."
I'll make you rich, Jack under my pillow is a paper—gold—abundance— good-by."
He was gone. The sad laced watcher stood gaatof soUflttnly at the dead for a long tidta a«id then arooMd himself iwfebastartt Mat In time to see a form sneak off in the dim morning light. It was Calaveras Dick.
Diamond reached under tbe dead man's pillow mid drew out a package containing a few old letter# from some ftie&ds in the eaaft and a sheet of paper covered with eloee writing. He placed the paper in Ids pocket and proceeded to the saloon to inform the miners of their comrade's death.
They buried him that day, with rudely expressed sentiments but slnoere sorrow. When the impromptu funeral over, Diamond called Cripple Dan aside. They seated themselves on a rode overhanging tbe gulch, and tbe miner said: "Of all the men in this settlement, Dan, I trast yoa most." ••I'd die for you. Jack," replied the cripple, raising his single arm with an enthusiastic gesture. "And I want you to help me unravel a secret." "I'll do my beet, Jack." so will Dan. Whisky BUI, package among to a vast 1 will "read it to

He opened from the package found under the pillow of the dead miner, a letter, old and yellow and tlmeworn. It read: "A captive, dying among the Blackfeet, I, John Arendson, leave this letter

It was hidden there by his brethren, after sn Indian raid upon their ranch, years before. He, the survivor, died before be oould tell tbe whole story."

"Gibberish!" said Dan. "No," replied Diamond gravely "It means something. Do you know where
ut"
"And Mount Sarnis?" ', "Yes." "How far from here Is it?" "About fifty milee." "North?" "Yes." "Among the Indians, then?" "Somewhat." "Shall we start to-night?" "I'm ready." Tbey left the spot soon after, not noticing a dark figure wbicb sped away as they arose. It was Calaveras Dick. "Treasure," he muttered to himself. 'I thought tbe onery cuss had some object in teadin'Whisky Bill. I'll toiler aim an' take a hand in this deal though low he's going to make anything of that jargon, I cant see."
The two miners, Jack Diamond and Cripple Dan, started out from the camp that night. It was something of a tramp to Aculpo valley, and It was the morning of tbe third aay before they reached Mount Sarnla. "Here we are at last," said Dan, look* Ing around at tbe numerous hills about them. "This one here's tbe highest hill of them all. Mount Sarnia. Over there's Lafayette Gulcb, and rig^5 next to us— you see that cone, Jack?" "Yes." "Wall, that'a Mount Washington."
A look of quick intelligence sprang into diamond's eyes. "That's it!" he cried. "Paler po/ria, tbe flrst words in that manuscript, means father of his country, whioh signlfiee •'Washington.'" "That's so," replied Dan, admiring the superior intellect of hiB comrade. **6o let us make for Mount Washingten."
They soon reached the oone, almost perpendicular, and with difficulty they scaled its precipitous sides. "Here we are," said Dap, as tbey reached tbe summit of the hill and gazed around them. -"This is certainly the point of starting indicated in the manuscript," said Diamond. "In the Aculpo valley, near Mouut -Sarnia, Mount Washington so far so good. Now then, 'on a field of red a milky star, two hundred and twenty feet down, left.' That's rather puzzling." "It is so." "We must measure two hundred and twenty feet down to the left, facing Mount Sarnia. Here, take this lasso it's twenty feet long eleven laps make the distance."
He unloosened the lasso and Dan took one end. Thus they measured off two hnndred and twenty feet. The miners looked eageerfy around. Nothing met their eyes but a solid wall of red sandstone, dull gray rocks and moss covered stones. "Left," said Diamond, and he moved in that direction. 'On a red field milky star,' what can it mean?"
They searched around fora long time. Nothing rewarded their efforts. There lay the mountain side, dull and unbroken.
Suddenly a cry from Diamond brought Dan to his side. "What is it?" be asked, eagerly.
But his companion was down on his knees, scraping at a pile of red sandstone, en the scrfaca of wbioh was scratched with apiece of mioa a tiny star.
They dug and pulled at the piece of stone, tightly wedged In the solid rock suddenly it gave way.
Tbe men started back In absolute wonderment at the sight before them, for there in the crevioe was an open iron box. and, gleaming and glittering in tbe bright sunlight, was a heap of jewels and gold.

HISTORY OF BATS,
How few of us pver traoe the history of the hat. Tbe felt bat is as old as Homer. The Greeks made them in skull caps, conical, truncated, narrow, or broad brimmed. The Phrygian bonnet has an elevated cap without a brim, the apex turned over In front. It is known as the cap of Liberty. An ancient figure of Liberty in tbe times of Anthonius Livy, A. D. 115, holds the cap in tbe right hand. The Persians wore soft hats: plumed hats were the head dress of the Syrian caps of Xerxee tbe broad brim was worn by the Macedonian kings. Castor means a beaver. The Armenian captive wore a plug hut, Tbe merchants of the fourteenth oentury wore a Flanders beaver. Charles VII, in 1469, wore a felt hat lined with red and plumed. The English men and women in 1510 wore close woolen or knitted caps two centuries ago hats were worn in tbe houae. Pepya, In his diary in 1604, wrote, "September, 1664 got a severe oold because he took off his hat at dinner," and again, in January, 1765, begot another cola by sitting too long with his head bare, to allow his wife's maid to oomb bis hair and wash his ears and Lord Clarendon, in his essay, speaking of the decay of respect due tbe aged, says "that in his younger days be never kept bis hat on before those older than himself, except st dinners." In tbe thirteenth century, Pope Innocent IV. allowed tbe cardinals tbe use of tbe scarlet cloth hat. Tbe bats now in use are the cloth bat, leather bat, paper bat, silk hat, opera hat, spring-brim hat, and straw hat.
