gisted that they couldn’t have had

time to hide the papers. Anyway,

they spent an hour in ferreting about

a in my car, and even searched my two © derkies, on the possibility that the ie true letters had been passed on to + thetri.

While they were engaged in this I

[8 was trying to think out some wav of

Pee letting Mr. Cullen and Albert know "ae where the letters were. The problem '% was to suggest the saddle to them Se without letting the cowboys, under- "a stand them, and by goed luck I thought I had the means. Albert had complained to me the day we had ridden out to the Indian dwelling at

Flagstaff that his saddle fretted some galled spots which he had chafed on his trip to Moran’s Pvint. Hoping he would “ catch on,” I shouted to him :—

“How are your sore spots, Albert?”

He looked at me in a puzzled way, and called, “ Aw--I don’t understand you !’’

3 “Those sore spots you complained

> @ about to me the day before yesterday,”

= @ I explained.

*? He didn’t seem any the less befog-

“= s about them.”

“T've got a touch of the same trou- ble,” I went on, “and if I were you I'd look into the cause.”

Albert only looked very much mys- tified, and I didn’t dare say more, for at this point the trio, with the sheriff, came out of my car. If I hadn't known that the letters were safe, I could have read the story in their faces, for more disgusted and angry- % looking men I have rarely seen.

; They had a talk with the sheriff, and then Fred, Lord Ralles and I were marched off by the official, his lord- ship demanding sight of a warrant and protesting against the {legality of his arrest. varied at moments by th to appeal to the British Consul, min- ister plenipo., her Majesty's Foréiga Office, ete., all of which had about as much influence on the sheriff and his cowboy assistants as a Moqui Indian snake dance would have in stopping a runaway engine. I confess to feel- ing a certain grim satisfaction in the fact that tf I was to be shut off from secing Madge, the Britisher was in the same box with me.

Ash Forks, though only six years old, had advanced far enough toward civi-

‘ ization to have a small gaol, and into

* that we were shoved. Night was

| come by the time we were lodged there,

and, being in pretty good appetite, I struck the sheriff for some grub. “T'll git you somethin’,” he said,

; gcod-naturedly, “ but next time you 4 shove people, Mr. Gordon, just quit shovin’ your. friends.

The average clergy- man is not a healthy man. There are many

e | reasons that contrib- 4 ute to make him deli- ; eate. He leads a , A'S sedentary life.

He doesn’t take ys sufficient exer-

cise. Just the same he is a hard-working man. He takes too much trouble about other people's troub- les to trouble mach about his own. He thinks tcoo much about other sick peo- ple to look. after his own health. The re- sult is that the hard- working clergyman becomes a semi -in- valid early in life. There is no necessity for this. A clergy- Man adds nothing to his usefulness, Bae greatly detracts from it, by neglecting his health. Ifa man, be he clergyman or layman, will resort to the right remedy just as soon as he feels out of sorts, and knows that he % isa little bilious, or that his liver is torpid, "@ or kis digestion is out of order, he will re- i main healthy and robust and add much to ye his usefulmess and many years to his life. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery testores the appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies the blood and tones the nerves. It is the greatest of all known blood-makers and flesh-builders. It cures 08 per cent. of all cases of consumption and diseases of the air passages. Thousands who were fiven up by the doctors and had lost all pe have testified to their complete re- covery under this marvelous medicine. It is the discovery of am eminent and skillful eset, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.Y. All medicine dealers sell it. “Eight years aco I was taken with what my f doctor called liver complaint.” writes N. E. ee Kendrick, Esq., of Campton, Grafton Co., New ce mpshire. ‘I began doctoring for it, taking Safsaparilias and other medicines. Last Febru- aty lL had a bilious attack, and I could not sit up € ¢nough to eat. I began taking Dr. Pierce's

x medicines. I have taken one bottle of ‘Golden “a Medical Discovery’ and one vial of ‘ Pleasant , Pellets.’ I find no other meédicine equal to yours in belping me."

The moment Fred wanted

the sheriff was gone the mystery of the let-

ters explained, and I told him all there was to tell, including as good a deseription of the pony as I could give rim. We tried to hit on some plan to get word to those outside, but it vasn't to be done. At least it was a roint gained that some one of our party besides myself knew where the

leiters were.

The sheriff returned presently with a leaf of canned bread and a tin of beans. If I had been alone, I should have kicked at the food and got per- mission for my boys to send me up semething from 97, but I thought I'd see how Lord Ralles would like genu- ine Western fare, s> I said nothing.

Trat, I have to state, is more, or rath- er less, than the Britisher did after ne had sampled the stuff, and really 1 don’t blame him, much as I ris rage and disgust.

enjoyed

It didn’t take long to finish our sup- per, and then Fred, who hadn't slept much the nicht before, stretched out on the floor and went to sleep. Lord Ralles and I sat on beoexes—the only furniture the room contained—about as far arart es we could get, he in the sulks. and 1 whistling, cheerfully. I should have liked to be with Madge,

but he wasn’t, so there was some com- per sation, and I knew that time was playing the cards in our favour. long as they hadn’t found the letters we had only to sit still to win.

A Log

“Well, Mr. Gordon, you've played a

re-tts: cute gamble,”

About an hour after supper the sheriff came back and told me Camp ard Baldwin wanted to see me. I saw no reason to object, so in they ceme, accompanied by the judge. Kaldwin opened the ball, by saying :—

“Well, Mr. Gordon, veu've played a pretty cute gamble, and I suppose you think you stand to win the pot.”

“J'm not complaining,’ I said.

“still,” said Camp, angrily, as if my contented manner fretted him, “our time will come presently, and we can make it vretty uncomfortable

fer you. Iilegal proceedings ptt a man in gaol in the long run.” “J hope you take your lesson to

heart,” I remarked, cheerfully, which made Camp scowl worse than ever. “ Now,” said Baldwin, who kept ccol, “we know you are not risking Joss of position, and the State’s prison for rothing’ ani we want to know what

c there is in it for you.”

“TIT wouldn’t bet my chance of State’s prison against yours, gentle- men. And while I may lose my posi- tfon ri be a long way frem starva- tion.’

“That dcesn’t tell ts what Cullen gives vou to také@ the risk.”

“Mr. Cullen hasn’t given or even hinted that he’ll give anything.”

“ And Mr. Gordon hasn't asked, and, if I know him, wouldn’t take a cent tor what he has done,” said Fred, -is- ing from the floor.

“You mean to say you are doing it for nothing 7?” exclaimed Camp, incre- dulously.

“That's abcut the truth of it,” I said, though I thought of Madge as I seid it and felt guilty in suggesting that she was nothing.

“Then what is your motive 7” cried Baldwin.

If there had been any use, I should beve replied, “ The right,” but T knew that they would only think I was pos- tiem FT onl i. Instead, I reptied “Mr. Cullen’s party has the stock ma- jority in their favour, and would have wen a fair fight if you had piayed fair. Sirce you didn’t, I'm doing my best to put things to rights.”

Camp cried, “ All the more fool”’— Lut Baldwin interrupted him by say- ing :—

“That only shows what a mean cuss Cullen is. He ought to give you $10,- 000 if he gives you a cent.”

“Yes,” cried Camp, “those letters are worth money, whether he’s offered it or not.”

“Mr. Cullen never so much as hint- ed at paying me,” said I.

“Well, Mr. Gordon,” said Baldwin, svavely, “ we'll show you that we can be liberal. Though the letters right- fully belong to Mr. Camp, if you'll de- liver them to us we'll see that you don't lose your place, and we'll give you $2,000.""

I glanced at Fred, whom T found ——e at me anxiously, and asked

im :—

“Can't you do better than that ?”

“We could with anyone but you,” said Fred.

I should have liked to stake hands ever this ccmpliment, but I only nod- ed; end turning to Mr. Camp, said :—

“You see how mean they are.”

“You'll find we are not built that Way,” said Beldwin, “ Five thousand isn’t a bad day’s work, eh 7”

“No,” I said, laughing, “but you juet told me I ought to get 10,600 if I got 2~ cent.”

“It's worth but "—.

I interrupted by saying, “If, it’s worth $10.000 to him, it’s worth $1,000,- 000 to me.”

Thet was too much for Camp. Firat he said something best omitted, and then went on, “I told zou it was waste time trying to win him over.”

The three stood apart for a moment whispering, and then Judge Wilson called the sheriff over and they all went out together. The moment we
