The. woman favored him with one of Iter generous, friend ly smiles. "I hope so, too. You're a nice boy. 1 like you." Then she stepped into the building und was gone. "A nice boy!" t Phillips was pained.--A boy! And he th 6 sturd iest pucker on tho pass, with per haps ono exception! That wus hardly Just, to t him.

Mr. Broad had climbed upon a raised tent platform and was presenting an earnest argument aguinsL capital punish ment. , Two strangers upon the fringe of the crowd were talking, and Pierce heard one of them say: "Of course he wants the law to take It? couYsc, Inasmuch us there isn't any law: He's one of the gang." "The surest way to flush a eovey of crooks is to whistle for old Judge Lynch," the other man agreed. "Listen to him!" "Have they caught the cache robbors?" Phillips made bold to Inquire. "No, and they won't catch them, with fellows like that oa tho com mittee. The crooks hang together and wc don't. -If I had -my way that's Just what they'd do hang together. I'd start in by bending a limb over that rascal.

Tho o nest I on was ut tered unexpectedly; It camo from tho front of the tent and startled the occupants thereof, who turned to behold a stranger Just entering ihetr premises. He wus un elder ly man; he possessed a quick, shrewd eyo: ho had poked the tent flap aside with a barrel or a Colt's revolver. Through tho door-open ing could be seen other faces and the bodies of other men who., had likewise stolen up unheard. During the moment of amazement follow ing his first words these' other men crowded in behind him. "Maybe It'll bo more of a trick than you figure on." The stranger's gray miiHtnche lifted In a grin thnt was not at all friendly. ' "Vhat the blazes?" Joe Mc Caskey exploded. "Go easy!" the Intruder cau tioned him. "We've been laying around, waiting for your pal to get back." With a movement of the revolver muzzlf he Indicated Phil lips. "Now then, stretch! On your ro'-s and reach high. You there get up!" He addressed himself to - QBSER VER - Inc.. and Frank Jim, who rose from his bed and thrust his hands over his bandaged head. . "Thut's nice!" the strunger (nodded approvingly. .

He had unearthed a bulging can vuu sack which ho flung down for Inspection. "There's my mark, 'W. K., and there's the rip. I knew we hud 'em right!"
