CHAPTER XV.

“UP WItTH YOUR HANDS !*

Among the nun us sailboats mov- ing « r the rippling surface of the Hudson, opposite the upper part of the ¢ New York, on that pleasant evening in May, was a roomy craft conte ng three persons. One was the master, while the others were a heavily armed United States marshal <i nd nis der uty

They cruised for a time, seemingly With no object except the pleasure of Sailing, but as the afternoon drew to &@ close onl night settled over the riv- er they approached the Jersey shore and in where the water was deep eneugh to permit them to tcuch land without availing themselves of the rickety Fort Lee dock.

‘Whew !” remarked Marshal Well- ing, glancing at the towering Palisa- des. ‘That’s going to be a stiff climb.”

‘You're sure there’s a path, cap- tain 7" was the enquiring remark of Deputy Burton.

“Yes. It’s easy enough when you're used to it.”

“But the deuce of it is to get used to it. I never did ‘Yancy climbing mount ains.”’

‘The Palisades are more’n twice as high a little farther up stream.”

“The boat will carry all you'll bring.”

* But you’re to show us the path.”

The captain led the way a short dis- tance up stream and paused.

“‘Snere you are. Just keep at it un- til you reach the top.”

“The sooner begun, the sooner aene,”” remarked the marshal, starting

*“ How do you feel now ?”

‘Fully rested and hungry. Come on.”’

It was like recuperation to walk on level ground, and after a time they de- bouched into the highway at the point where Palisade avenue ends on the bluffs of the Hudson.

“Cone gave us a diagram, drawn so well that we cannot go astray. I’ve got it so fixed in my mind that there's no needed of consulting it.’’

“and the stene house is on the left as we go toward Englewood ?”

‘Yes. Not quite half a mile back. right in front of where we are to turn in, is an oak, with a gnarled branch about twenty feet from the ground Cone made a sketch of it, shall eS the limb the moment my ey’ sts on it.”

left the road and wocd on their left, curning

} Their intention was to

| sc1tinel undeteccied if rake him prisoner.

Thus the two officers reasoned :—

The true course, therefore, was first to capture him, doing it with a sud-

stone

den energy that would allow him no time to warn his confederates. To do this he must be approached

| with the stealth of an Apache—a task | that was almost insurmountably diffi- cult, since he was evidently guard against such a movement.

The officers held no doubt that their ; Simple ruse had deceived him. Since they had gone a long way beyond they new retraced their steps with consid- erable speed until quite near where they believed him to be standing. Then they paused for a whispered con- ferenre.

“You pass around to the right,” said the marspal, “while I approach kim from this side. The one that reaches him first scoops bim in.’’

“ All right,” replied his assistaut, immediately vanishing from sight.

Let us follow the movements of Mershal Welling.

He was among the trees, but with- in ten feet of the highway, and in- tended to maintain that distance until he caught his man.

It was necessary to keep in shadow in order to hide his appreach. At the same time it seemed almost impossible to get within striking distance of the tellow without being detected. But no other course presented itself.

‘Providence takes care of his own

This exultant thought was caused by { the rattle of a heavy waggon coming from Englewood, and going toward the | Palisades.

The officer stood motionless until t’

rattling of the heavy vehicle was , close, Then, protected by the noise, | he took a number of steps forward, | only halting when afraid of running

upon the sentinel.

At the moment the marshal was | Standing motionless and listening for | some sound that wovld make known ; the exact location of his man he heard a stealthy movement, not in front, but } bebind him.

; His first thought was that by an ex-

| traordinary turn he had passed

| Sentinel without either being aware of it.

| &t was clear, atary rate, that some-

; one was stealing upon the officer him-

, self. It was a case of the tiger hunting the hunter when the iatter supposed

* himself to be hunting the tiger.

Who could this stranger be but the | ¢riminal the marshal had set out to

| arrest ? Despite the extreme caution of the latter, his approach must have ; been detected, and now his man was

| seeking to gain the ¢rop on him

‘But I’m blessed if he shall!” mut- tered the *officer, compressing his lips. Fe was not only resolute, but he

| prefer death to having the tables turn-

; €d on him in so disgraceful a fashion.

| He could never face one of his asso-

| ciliates after such a humiliation.

j He placed his hand on the revolver et his hip and straightened up with his eyes turned to the rear. He ex- pected an order to hold up his hands and was ready to meet such command with a pistol shot.

But as in the case of the man who

shadowed me this individual was too alert to be caught. He stood silent

and motionless among the shadows, that neither of the men could the other.

A startling complication impended. The deputy, in circling about so as to e€ome upon the criminal from the other direction would approach the marsha] under the belief that he was the mis- creant for whom all this risk was in- curred. The blunder would give the criminal time to get away before the mistake could be corrected.

Standing thus, sorely puzzled to de- cide what to do, the officer again caught the soft rustling behind him Yes, a2 man was there, and he was after Marshal Welling.

But at the moment the officer was certain that in some way his intended prisoner had got behind him and was seeking his undoing, a guarded move- ment fell upon his ear, but it was from

the front. The singularly-caught officer felt that he must do something. He could

not stand idle until the bolt descended upon his own head.

His inclination was to turn about and leap upon the one at the rear. He

peered into the gloom, waiting only for the moment when he could discern

even faintly his outlines. But, suddenly changing his mind at sight of the dim figure in front, he ley- ;*eliled his pistol and said, ina low voice: Up with your hands ! One yawn

and you’re a dead man!”

CHAPTER XVI. NEVERTHELESS A PRISONER

One of the most desirable the affairs of this world is that of being able instantly to recognize and pt facts. The man to whom Mar- Welling addressed his mand possessed that faculty, ed by instantly reaching with hanacs toward the stars.
