"Well," said Mr. Drano.

would have pursued the lniiilry further,
but that ho feared to arouse lh trump's
suspicions. So they walked on talking
ofuthtir things until thoy camo to Jon

"Now I'm going to work a big tMhtiino
hero," wld Mr. Drano. '.'You Just keep
your bead and don't get frlghtemsl a bit
and remember that whatever happens
I'll take care of you, I'm rich enough,
as you know."
"Illate away, cully, I'm wld yo," re
sponded tho tramp.
Mr. Drano rang tho boll. Tho door
was opened ul onco by an attendant
whom Lawrence had not seen before
"Tell Mr. Jenkins a friend would like
to sue him," said ljwrence. inking
mysteriously at the attendant The
wink was understood, and Uilh men
were admitted. The door onco closed.
Mr. Drano whispered excitedly to the
attendant:
"It's I.awronco Drane! you'd better
grub him, 'oaiiso bo's very violent ul
limes."
The attendant struok u Isdl and In
stantly two other men camo into the
hall, huUod tho tramp, Isiuuil his arms
tu his sides with a rope ami hurried
him to a book room. He protested
vigorously, diH'luri'd that he had been
onlrapH'ii, and all that, but bis cries
tniulo matters worse for him. Presently
tho attendant returned and askml Mr
Drane alsiut the capture Lawrence
told an Imaginative yarn with as low a
dialect as he could muster, and wound
up by demanding tho reward.
"We can't give you tho whole reward
to-night," was the reply. "The Ihe
hiilidriHl dollars olfered by Mr. Drane's
friends Is nut lu our control, but you
may have tho llfty dollars olfcrod by
tho Ketreat. ami If you will call to-u or
row afternoon I have no doubt that yon
can collect the rest."
Iiwreiico ridiculed that fifty dollars
was a pretty good price to pay a man
for capturing himself, mid thai be wai
lucky to evon get that. The money w.i .
promptly turned over to lilmaud lit) left
the Ketreat ufter Inquiring particularly
as to tin) hour u hen he should call ugalu
"It's a pretty hard trick on that fel
low," ho thought, "but ho deserves It,
and I will keep my word and sen bliu
safely out. Auduf course I'll return thv

Willi all tho siood ho had he hurried
