Now it is — ~~ — dawn, and the stars in their courses are against Caesar.” With the sheriff and Mr. Camp I then walked over to the saloon, where Judge Wilson was waiting to dispose of my case. Mr. Cullen and Albert tried t2 come, too, but all outsiders were excluded by order of the “ court.” I was told to show cause why I should not forthwith produce the letters, and answered that I asked an adjournment of the case so that I might be heard by counsel. It was denied, as was to have been expected. Indeed, why they took the trouble to go through the forms was beyond me. I told Wil- son I should not produce the letters, and he asked if 1 knew what that meant. 1 couldn't help laughing and retorting :~- “It very appropriately means ‘ con- tempt of the court,’ vour honour.” “Til give you a stiff term, young man,” he said. “It will take just one day to have habeas corpus proceedings in a Unit- ed States court and one more to get — papers here,” I rejoined, pleasaat- ¥. Seeing that I understood the moves too weil to be bluffed, the judge, Mr. Camp and the lawyer held a whispered consultation. My surprise can be in.aginead when, at its conclusion, Mr. Camp said :— “ Your honour, I charge Richard Gor- don with being concerned in the hold- ing up of the Missouri Western over- land, No. 3, on the night of Oct. 14, and ask that he be taken into custody on that charge.” I couldn't make out this new move and puzzied over it, while Judge Wil- son ordered my commitment. But the next step revealed the object, for the lawyer then asked for a search- warrant to look for stolen property. The judge was equally obliging and began te fill one out on the instant. This made me feel pretty serious, for the letters were in my breast poc- ket, and I swore at my own stupidity in not having put them in the sta- tion safe when I had first arrived at Ash Forks. There weren't many me- ments in which to think while the judge scribbled away at the warrant, but in what time there was I did a lot of head work, without, however, find- ing more than one way out of th: sraril, and when I saw the judge finish off his signature with a flourish I Played a pretty desperate card. “You're just too late, gentlemen,” I said, pointing out the side window of the saloon. “ There comes the Cavalry."’ The three conspirators jumped to their feet and bolted for the window. Even the sheriff turned to look. AS he did so I gave him a shove toward the three, which semt them all sprawl- ing on the floor in a pretty badly mix- *d up condition. I made a dash for the door, and as I went through it I &rabbed the kev and locked, them in. nett ee i SIGK HEADACHE , Positively cured hy these Little Pills.

The problem Was to suggest the saddle to them without letting the cowboys under- stand them, and by good luck I thought I had the means. Albert had cecmplaineG to. me the day we hac ridden out to the Indian dwellings at Flagstaff that his saddle fretted some galled spots which he had chaf- ed on his trip to Moran’s Point. Hop- ing he would “catch on,” I shouted to him: “ How are your sore spots, Albert ?’’ He looked at me in a puzzled way, | “Aw—I don’t understand : and called, you !”’ “Those sore spots you complained about to me the day before yester- day,”’ I explained. He didn’t seem any the less befog- ged as he replied, “I had forgotten all 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 illegality of his arrest, varied at moments by threats to appeal to the British Consul, min- ister plenipo., her Majesty's Foreign Of- fice, etc., all of which had about as miuch influence on the sheriff and his cowboy aesistants as a Moqui Indian snake dsnce would have in stopping a runaway engine. I canfess td feel- ing a certain grim satisfaction in the fact that if I was to be shut off from seeing Madge, the Britisher was in the same box with me. Ash Forks, though only six years old, had advanced far enough toward civilization 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 appe- tite, I struck the sheriff for some grub. “T’ll git you somethin’,” he said, good-naturedly, “but next time you shove people, Mr. Gordon, just quit shovin® your friends. My shoulder feels like "—Perhaps it’s just as weil not to say what his shoulder felt like. The Western vocabulary is expressive, but at times not quite fit for publica- tion. The moment the sheriff was gone Fred wanted the mystery of the let- ters explained, and I told nim all there was to tell, including as good a de- scription of the pony as I could give him. We tried to hit on some plan to get word to those outside, but it wasn't to be done. At least it was a point gaiped that some one of our party besides myself knew where the letters were. The sheriff returned presently with a loaf 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 something from 97, but I thought I'd see how Lord Ralles would like genu- ine Western fare, so I said nothing. That, I have to state, is more, or rather less, than the Britisher did after he had sampled the stuff, and really lL don’t blame him, much as I enjoyed his rage and disgust. It didn’t take long to finish our sup- per, and then Fred, who hadn't slept much the night before, stretched out on the floor and went to sleep. Lord Ralles and I sat on boxes—the only furniture the room contained—about as far apart as we could get, he in the sulks, and I whistling, cheerfully. I should have liked to be with Madge, but he wasn’t, 90 there tvas £0me com- pensation, and I knew that time was playing the cards in our favour. So long as they hadn’t found the letters we had only to sit still to win. About an hour after supper the theriff came back and told me Camp and Baldwin wanted to see me. I saw no reason to object, so in they came, accompanied by the judge. Baldwin open the ball, by saying :— “ Well, Mr. Gordon, you've played a pretty cute gamble, and I suppose you think you stand to win the pot.” “I'm not complaining,” I said. “Still,” said Camp, angrily, as if my contented manner fretted him, “our time wili come presentty, and we can make it pretty uncomfortable for you. Illegal proceedings put a man in gaol in the long run.” “I hope you take your lesson to heart,” I remarked, cheerfully, which made Camp scowl worse than ever. tainly a fact that no medicine has such a record of cures as Hood’s Sarssperilla.
