There hud come n shout from the doorway, booming coniuuindliig: "'Anils iii, cvcrhodyI And quick nhout III" Some one Iftughed nnd Jnhhetl his blinds Into tho air. Another, qulikly sensing n singed surprise, followed tho example. It was Just the Mulshing touch necessnr tho old lluio hold-up of the old-tlmo dance. Tho "hundlt" strode forward. "Out from ho'Ind that hurl Drop thnt gun I" he commanded nf the white aproned iittetrlunt. "Out from that roulette win el. H ( rj Inuly lino up! Quick and there ain't no tlmo for foolln'." Chattering and laughing, they ohevod, tho Rherlff, his star gleaming, standing out In front of Ibem all, shiv ering In muck fright, his bands higher than any one's. Tho handlt, both re volvers leveled, stepped forward n foot or so. mid agnln ordered speed. A hnndtiinn handkerchief was w lapped about his bend, concealing Ids hair and ears A mask was over his pos, sup plemented hy another bnudauua, vvlib h, be-liinlng nt tho bridge of his tioe, (lowed over his ihlu, cutting olT all possible ihiinio of recognition Old 11 second 111010 ho united, then, with' a wave of tho gnus, shouted Ids command: "All right, cverbod.vl I'm 11 decent fellow.

Then the bnudlt rushed foiward, gathered up die hll and gold pieces, shoved llioui In lis pockets, and whirled (oward the door. "Tho purposo of this 'ero will bo In llio paper louioiiow," ho announced "And don't 5011 follo.v me to tlnd out' lliuk, tbeiet' Two or three laughing men had rtmted forward, among thorn a Ihldlei, who had Joined the lino, mid who now rishid out In lliiuntlug hinver, lirauil Milug his violin as though to brain tin Inliiider.

The holdup bud been ret'l after all lusteiiil of a planned, Joking affair On the lloor Ihn llddler lay gasping and bleeding. And llio ban dit was gone. All In 11 moment tho divice ball seemed to have gone mad Men wcie lushing about and shouting, p.uilc stilcken women clawed nt one number mid fought their way toward 11 free dom they could not gain. Windows clashed as forms hurtled against them; screams sounded, llmiiedly, as llio croud massed thicker, rulrchihl raised the small form of Anita In his arms nutl cairlcd her to u chair, far nt ono side. "It's nil right now," lie snld, calming her. "Kvcrj thing's over look, the 're helping the tiddler to ids feet. Mil lie ho's not badly hurt. liver thing's nil right" And then ho strnlghtetiod. A man bad unlocked the door from the out side and had rushed Into the duueo hnll, excited, shouting. It was Maurice ltodnliie. "I know who It was," lie almost scrcanini. "I got n good look nt him Jumped ir.it of tho window and almost beaibil him off. Ilo look olT his mask outside mid I suvv Mm." "You saw I1I111 ?" A hundred voices shouted tho question at once "Yos." Then Maurice ltodulno nodded straight toward Robert Palrchlhl. "The light was good, mid I got 11 straight look nt him. Ilo wns that fellow's partner 11 Corulshmun they cull Harry I" "I don't believe It!" Anita Richmond pxclnlmed with conviction nnd clutched at I'alrcldld's arm. "I don't believe It!" "I can't!" Robert answered. Then he tinned to the accuser, "How could It bo possible for Hurry to ho down hero lobbing a dance hall when he's out working the mine?" "Working tho mine?" This tlmo It wns tho sheriff. "What's the necessity for n day and night shift V" "We agreed upon It estertlny nf tor noon " ".At whoso suggestion?" "I'm not sine hut I think It was mine." "Young fellow," the sheriff bad ap proached him now, "ou'd better ho certain nhout that. It looks to mo that might bo 11 pretty good 1 xctiso to gico when n man can't produce an alibi, Anway, tho likntlllciitlou seems pretty complete Then he turned to tho crowd. ''I want a couple of good men to go nlong with me as deputies." "I have u right to go." ralrchlld lind slopped forward, "Certainly. Hut not nn n deputy. Who wants to volunteer J" Half n ilciren men cmiio forward, and f 1 otn llieni tho sheriff chose two. rnlrclilhl turned to say good by to Anita In vain. Already Maurice lto dnliie had escorted her, apparently against her will, to a far end of tho dmito hall, and there was quarreling with her. ralrchlld hurried to Join tho sheriff and Ids two deputies. Just starting out of the dance ball, l'ivo minutes later they were In n motor cur, chugging up Kentucky gulch. Slowly, the motor car fighting against the grade, the trip wns ac complished. Thou the four men leaped from tho machine at (he last rlso be fore the tunnel was reached and three of them went forwnrd nfoot toward where 11 slight gleam of light came fiom the mouth of the Itlue I'opp). 'lhu sheriff took tho lead, at lust to slop behind a boulder and to bhout a command: "llpy ou. In there." "'Hy yourself I" It was Harry's voice. ' Come out and ho quick about It. Hold our light In front of our face with both limitR" "I ho 'ell 1 Willi And 'oo's talking?" "Shoilff Adams of Clear Crock conn 1. You've got ono minute to como out or I'll shoot." "I'm coming on the run!" And almost Instantly tho form of lliin.v, Ids ncetIcno lamp lighting up his bulbous, surprised countenance with Its sprn)llkc mustache, appealed at the mouth of tho tunnel, "What the bloody 'ell?" he gasped, as ho looked Into tho mu7zlo of tho revolver. I'roiu down tho mountain side camo the shout of one of the dep utlcs : "Sheriff I Looks llkn It's Mm, oil right I've found a hnre down litre all swented up from running" "That's about tho answer" Sher iff Ailnius went forwnrd and with a vMV "Ho Was That Fellow's Partner." motion of his revolver sent Harry's hands Into the air. "J eft. soo what ou'vo got on ,vou," A light gleamed below us 1111 elec tric (lash in the bunds of ono of Die deputies began an Investigation of the surroundings. The shoilff, finishing his search of 'Arr's pockets, stepp-cd luck. "Well," ho demanded, "what did jou do with the proceeds?" 'llio proceeds?" Harry stared hlunk ly. "Of what?" "Quit ,vour kidding, now They've found your horso down there." "Wouldn't it bo n good Idea" Fair child had cut lu acnjly "to sje our accusations on this thing until ou'ro it llttlo surer of It? llnrry hasn't any horse. If ho's rented one, ou ought to ho able to llud that out pretty fliortly." As If in answer, tho sheriff turned and shouted u question down the mountain side. And back came llio answer: "It's Doc mason's. Must have been stolen. Doc was at tho dance." "I guess Hint settles It." 'J he ofll cor reached for Ids hip pocket. "Stick out our hands, llany, while 1 put tho cull's on them." "Hut W In bloody "ell 'nve I been doing nnlhlng when I've been up 'cro working on tho chlv wheel? 'Ovv ?" . 'They say joii held up the danco tonight mid robbed us," Pali child cut In. llnrry's face lost Its surprised look, to glvu nil) to a glance of keen questioning, "And do oii say It?" "I most certainly do not. The Iden tification was given by that honorable poison known as Mr. Mutirlco lto dalne." "Oh I One thief Identifying nn other" "sheriff!" Again the voice from be low, "Yeh 1" "Wo'vo found n cacho clown here. Must hiivY' boon made lu a hurt two now revolvers, bullets, 11 mask, n cou ple of now handkerchiefs and the mono." Harry ces grew wide. Then ho stuck out Ids bauds. "Tho evidence certainly Is piling up!" ho grunted. "I might as well save my talking for later." '"Unit's n good Idea." Tho sheriff snapped tho bnndcuffs Into place. Then rnlrclilhl shut off the pumps nud they started toward tho machine. Hack In Ohatll more news awaited them. Hurry, If Harry had been tho tilghwainan, had gone to no expense for his outfit. The combined wncrnl store mid hardware emporium of (iregg Hrothors hud been robbed of tho articles necessary for n disguise also tho revolvers and their bullets Robert rnlrclilhl watched Harry placed In the solitary cell of the count Jail with n spirit thnt could nut re spond to tho Corulsbman's grin nnd Ids assurances that morning would bring n righting of affairs. Tour chnrges hung heavy above Mm: Hint of horse stealing, of burglary, of high vny robbery, and worse, the final as snult with attempt to kill, l'alrchl d turned wcnrlly away; bo could not lind tho optimism to Join Harry's cheerful minouuccmeut Hint It would be "all right." The appearances were otherwise. Resides, up In the little hospltnl on the hill, ralrchlld had soon lights glenmlng as he entered the Jail and he know that doctors were work ing (hero over the wounded hod of the tiddler. Tired, lip.wy nt licnrt. Ids earlier conquest of the night socl diii mid overshadowed now, he tinned away from the eel and Its optimistic rceupant out lnD the night. It was only a (hort walk to the hos pital ami ralrchlld went there, to leave vv'th at least a ray of hope. Tho probing ijnerntlon had been completed ; the llddler ouhl live, nnd nt least the charge ngilnst Harry would not bo ono of murder. That was n thing for which to be thankful; but 'lliere wus plenty to cause consternation, as ralr chlld wnlkod slovvl clown the dark, winding street toward tho innln thor oughfare. Without Harry, ralrchlld now felt himself lost, lteforo the big, genial, eccentric Cornlshnian had come Into his life, ho had believed, with some sort of divine Ignorance, Hint he could carry out his ambitions- by himself, with no knuv lodge of the tech nical detnlls necessary to mining, with no previous history of tho Illue Pop py to guide hi in, mid with no help ngnlust tho enemies who seemed every where. Now ho saw that It was Im possible. .More, the Incidents of the night showed how swiftly those ene lilies weie working, how sharp and stiletto like their weapons. Tint Harry was innocent wus cer tain to Robert rnlicblltl. Looking hack over It now, ho could seo how easll I'nto had placd Into the hands of the Reclaim's, If tho Ro cU'Iues had not possessed a deeper con cern than iiieiol to scire upon 11 Imp iionlng nnd turn it to their own ac count 'I lie highway nuin was big. 'the highwayman talked with a 'Cousin Jack" accent for nil Cornlslimen are "Cousin Jacks" in the mining country. Thoso two font urea In themselves, rulrchihl thought, as bo stumbled nlong In the daikiiess, weie sulllclent to start the scheming plot In the brain of Maui leu Rod.ilne, already ugly mid evil through the trick jilnyed by llany on bis father nnd tho rebuke that had 'oiuo from Anita Richmond. It was m easy matter for Mm to get tho In spiration, leap out of ttio window, and then wait until the robber bud gone, that ho might lime forth with Ms nccusntlon. And nfter that. Hither Chntice, or something strong er, lind done the rest. Tho (hiding of tho stolon horse nnd tho rnrelessly made cache near the mouth of tho Uluo I'oppy mine would ho sufllcicnt In the eyes of nny Jury. The evidence was both direct nnd circumstantial. To Tain hlld's mind, there wns small chance for oscnpo 1 y Harry, once his case went to trial, Down tho dark street the man wan dered, his hnnds sunk deep In his pockets. Ills head low between his shoulders only to suddenly galvanize Into Intensity, nnd to stem short that he might hear again the voice which had come to Mm. At ono side wns a big huukc a house whose oeounanU (I he knew Instlnctlrely, for he had seen the shadow of a woman, hands out stretched, as she passed tho light strewn shodo of a window on tho soo ond lloor. More, he had heard her voice, supplemented hy gruffer tones. And then It camo ngnln. It was pleading, nnd at the same time angered with the passion of n person approaching hysteria. A hark ing sentence naswered her, something Hint ralrchlld could not understand. Ho left the old board sldownlk and crept to the porch that ho might hmr the better. 'I hen every nerve within him Jangled, nnd the black of llio dark ness chnnged to rod. '1 lie Rodalnes wore within; ho bad htnrtl first the cold voice of the father, then tho rnsp Ing tones of the son, In upbraiding. More, there had come the sobbing of a woman; Instinctively ralrchlld knew Mint It was Anltu Richmond. And then: It was her vole, high, screaming. Hysteria lind come the wild, racking hysteria of a person driven to the breaking point: "I.c.ivo lids house henr me I Lenvc tMs house I Can't you sco that you're killing htm?. Don't you dare touch mo leave tills bouse I No I won't be quiet I won't you're killing hhn, I tell you 1" And ralrchlld united for nothing mote. A luiii'e, nnd he vvu3 on the They Were Threatening Me an'd Fatherl" verandn. Ono more spring and he had reached the door,' to find It un locked, to throw It wide nnd to leap Into the hnll. Orcat stops, ond he had cleared the stairs to the second floor. Dimly, ns through a red screen, l'nlr child saw tho frightened face of Anlti Richmond, nnd on the Innding, front Ing him nngrlly, stood the two Ro dailies. Tor n moment, rnlrclilhl ill' regarded them nnd turned to the soli blit;. disheveled llttlo being In th dooivvny. "What's happened?" "Thoy weio threatening me am father I" sho moaned. "Rut yoij shouldn't have como In you shouhln'' have " "1 heard you scream. I couldn't help It.

"They they got him excited. II had another stroke. I I couldn't stand It any longer." "You'd better get out," snld ralr chlld curtly to tho Rodalnes, with u suggestive motion toward tho stairs They hesitated n moment and Mnurlco seemed about to launch himself nt Robert, hut his father laid n restrain ing hand on his nrm. A step und the elder Itodnlne hesitated. "I'm only going because of your father," ho sold grulily, with 11 glancu toward Anita. "I'm not going be cause " "Oh. I know. Mr. rulrchlld shouldn't have come in bore. He shouldn't have clone It. I'm sorry pleasu go." Down the steps they went, the old er man with Ids hand still on his son's npn; while, white-faced, I'alrchlld awnltcd Anita, who had suddenly sped past him into the sick-room, then was wearily returning, 'Cnn I help you?" he nsked ot last. "Yes," camo her nil her cold answer, only lo bo followed by n quickly whis pered "I'orglvo me." And then the tones been mo louder so thnt they could be beard nt tho bottom of the stnlrs: "You can help me greatly simply hy going nnd not creating mi) morn of n disturbance." "Rut" "I'lense go," came the direct answer. "And please do not vent your spite on Mr. Itodnlne and his son, I'm sure that thoy will act like gentlemen If you will.

Then the tloor downstairs closed nnd the sound of steps came on the veranda. She leaned close to him. "I had to say that," came her whis pered words.
