Just before tbe trestle was reached
tbe fat mau ln tbe corner seat roee
aad left tbe car, reduclug tbe number
of its occupauts to two. The conductor
aniiled aoftly to biiuself as be gave tbe
go abeatl aigual.
He could remeiuber tbe tluie wbeu.
instead of sitting ut opposite ends of
the car, as they were at preseut, the
Uiau und tbe girl shurcd the saine cross
seat ou their daily rlde into town.
As the two bells sounded the motor
begau to huni. aud presently the subur
ban car rumbled ou to the trestle
wblcb cut forty uiiuutes off tbe ruu
nlngtinie from the city to Bayview by
apanniug two miles of salt water on
sturdy plles.
The auu silvored the erests of the
tlny wavea, while the summer breeze
kieked up aud frosted the wake of the
steamor now slowly approuchiug tbe
draw lu tbe ehannel on the Qtlatir slde
of the isluml. I< was an ideal suinuier
afteruoou, aud uo prvttier spot could
have been found than Sound bny, but
Its beauties were entirely lost ou the
two passeugers, though the uiotor
uiau. to wh.nu the l>:iy was an old
atory. regarded the scene with pleas
ure.
Toni Nortou aud I.ucy Bruyllng, each
busy with his or her thoughts. guve
no heed to the hlue buy, with its siivei
tlpped wuves. They had met today
for the flrat tiuie since the dreudful
night two weeks ago before wbeu
Lucy had broken her cngagement.
This had followed a trivial quiuivl.
Lucy had annouuicd that she was tak
lng eooklug school lessous. and Toui
had teased her about it. The day ha<l
beeu hot. aud she had taken his joklug
seriously. with the result thut when
Toui hud come away the ring he had
tdipped ou her tinger with such glow
lug hope* u few weeks before wus
tucked lu bls pocket. while ut his heart
there lny B hurden of dull dcspalr.
Bluuderlng. he had trh-d to explalu
tbat he was only speaking in jest. but
Lucy had spent half the day over a
hot stove, and to have Toni poke fun
at the cake which had l>een the result
of her lahors was too much for feuil
ulne cudurance, and she would llaten
to nu apology.
Now aa the car rolled along she
kept her glancc straight abeatl
through the front wlntlows. and Toni
pretentletl au al>sorption in the sceu
ery as vlewed froiu the rear platform.
tbougb uelther waa consclous of the
beauty of tlie duy.
Tbe car had just rea.hcd the island
mldway lu the cbanml when with a
Huddcn whir tbe motor cume to a
stop uud the car rolled on a few yards
?nd halted. The motorman cliinU'd
dowu to the trestle nnd exninlned the
fuae; then he cllmbed back again and
tbrew ou the power.
A second time he cllmbed down. and
on his return he tested tl^e llgbts uutl
found tbat they would not buru. Tht>
conductor made bls way forward. and
preaeutly he. too. dropped to the truek
aud made his way toward the still
opeu draw.
Tbe motormuu came luslde uud took
a seat opposite Lucy after adtnittlng
lgUorauce ua to tbe cause of the deluy.
lt was not uutll tbe conductor cume
back from the draw. where a tele
phone was lnstalled, that they knew
the worst.
"The powor house Is aflre," be re?
ported. -Tlie tire cbief wouldn't let
bla meu tjo until tlie power waa sbut
off, aud bere we are to stay until tbe
tire u put out aud tbe switchbourd la
repulred."
MI auppose tbat we can walk." 8Ug
geated Toin. "The tles uro close to
gether."
The conductor glanced th:-ouxh tbe
rear of the car. "You can lf 11m wnlk
lug'a good ou the water." !i>> .issentod.
"Both drawa nre open, aad thoy can't
close them until we avt powat ugaln.'*
"How long do you suppose thut we
etnill have to stay bereV" aaked I.uey
despnlrlngly.
"Four or tlve hours," waa the uncon
aoilnjt responae. "The swltchboard
burned aaea before, and lt took slx
boura to flx lt."
"But surely they will send a boat
after ux." .su^Kested Luey hopefully.
"lf you lenrned what the matter was
tbere must have been a telephone at
the draw."
"There ls." adrultted the conductor.
**but just now there lsn't no one at the
other end of the Hne. I bet they'ro
burned out. lt aln't a city Hne, yon
kr.ow."
I.ucy turned her uttentlon to the
aeenery npalu. uad tBe conductor and
the inotorman went out on the front
platform to smoke their pli>ea and en
Joy a ehat. Tom repaired to the back
paaaCorai aa*4 llt n ciear.
"?aaaaa wmm uo hoat ln alght aave the
two tiuy aasaaatera that made daily
trfpa between tar city and the head
of the bay. The one city bound bad
rotmded the point, and the other waa
too far away to be signaled. The
only chance was to hall some passlng
pleaaure boat. and there was small
chance that such cnrft would come thia
far down the bay.
For an hour, which aeerued a day to
the marooncd onea, there wm quiet ln
The car. Once or twlce Tom turned
toward I.uey, but she promptly turned
her baek, and Tom turned hia gaae to
ward tbe bay again.
Presently tbe motorman aud con
ductor ralsed one of the seata and
drew their lune* palla from the locketl
Then they returned to the front plat
form, iguoring the obvious huuger of
their passengers.
? Tom saw that I.uey was ga/.ing huu
grlly at the feast, Oheerfully he
spraug up and entered tbe car.
"I don't want to annoy you," he sald
diffldeutly, "but will you lend me your
ald in teacblug those fellows a les
aon? I dld some marketing for mother
ln tbe city. aad 1've a ateak und some
other stuff in that bundle. We cun
bulld a fire on the ahore and cook tlie
ateak on a atiek, aa we uaed to when
we were childreu." *
For a motnent pride and huuger
atruggled; then huuger won. and prea
eutly Tom was nssisting Lucy down
the trestle to tlie suudy shore of the
lsland. and hy tbe time the fire was
built his mothcr's supplies were ready
for the sacrlflee. In addltlon to the
steak, there was a loaf of bread from
a fushionable bnkery, and even a box
of flue table ?alt of a 8ort uot obtaln
ahle iu Bayviow. The ateak waa cut
iuto strlps ready for broillng.
The fragrant fumea of hot meat at
tracted the crew of the car, but not un?
til I.uey and he had eaten their tili did
Tom permit the two men to have a
Uiorsel. Thou while the motoruiaa'

What followcd this reiuurk is uot
uorossary for publicathui. and it was

to muadaiie luterests.
"Iluirah:" shouted Totn. nnd T.uey

turned to follow his gesture of diree
tiois and ackoad his cheer. The cfraw

current was ou again.
Itegret fully the conductor susiH-nded

sllce of steak sundwiched between two
slices of bread. Iu a few iniimtos
they wrere rattUag over the doaad

"Have you the riug stlll'.'" asked
I.ucy as they left the car ut their cor

'T'll bring lt over tonlght," be proui

**A cooking school frult cakeV" she
deniaiuled tonsiugly.
"A l.ucy fruit cake." corroeted Tom.
with a snille. "It's enuugb that you
cook it."
"But there wou't be thue." objected
the girl.
"Then let's have some more steak,"
suggosted Toiu. "Tbat tasted better
than frult cake a while ago. witb you
across the t.re. We ought to be very
gratel'ul to the car company."
"And to tbe steak." suggestod Lucy.
"It wur tbe steak that compelled sur

But her eyes told a differcnt atory
and Toui regarded a passing trolley

OLIVE'S
OUTLAW.
By TAYLOR WHITE.
ropyrt*l>ted. 1WJ. by AaaocUued
1 lUTary Prtraa.
The outlaw bad beeu uiaking thiugs
pretty llvely for the guests of the
Spoutiug Spriugs hotel ever sluce the
sprlug Baaaoa bad got fully under way.
Aa a busiuess getter the outlaw was
a huge suecess. No sbore resort with
au nutbeuttw sea serpeut ever eiijoyed
such popularity. aud tbe stages that
met the traius from tbe eaat lumbered
back over the tweuty mlle trall loaded
to capacity witb women who opeuly
a\owed their tlmidify aud men wba
tried uiore or less sinvcssfully to con
eeal thelrs.
Almost every nfteruoou tbe porch
was crowded to wltuess the depurture
Of the sheriff aud hia posae, and al
uiost Bfl rcguiarly some of the guests
eame hurrying back to the hotel to
tell how they had l>een held up and
strlpped of their vuluables with au
expedition that exeelled tlie speed of
the aian back of the uiui ble eouuter
ln the rotunda. The latter kept tha
lKK>ks Bad each day aet dowu op
posite each account a sum thnt would
h.'\e BbCalacd board and lodglngs for a
week at a hotel not cursed?or blessed
?by a btmtllt.
Appreclating the fact that much of
his ?K?oty was keepsakes uutl helr
kKMBB, the bandlt was always reudy to
trade back his pluuder for the more
t onvenlent specle. and as the lundlord
Insisted upou muklng ^ood all losses
there were uo couiplalnts. Indced. the
guests rather enjoyed being held up.
It gave them somethlng to talk about
when their visit was over. Mauy of
the visit,-rs by oft rcpeated telling so
embroidered tbe aceoaata of their in
dividual boldups that the tales would
ha\o afJarad gaad aiatarlal for mag
aafcaaa. But it araa uot aatll oiive
Marcband came that tbe real seusa
tion was sprung.
I'ntH tlien the outlaw's taclturnlty
had been his most proiiouuced char
acterlstic. but when the sllp of a girl
came rushlug down the path from the
sprlngs to tell how Bluck Pete had
not only held her up. but had de
cataad aa* in raanaaaaikdi for more
than an hour. every womau in the
hotel turned envious. The followiug
afternoon the bauks of the strenni fed
by tbe sprlngs weiv dotted witb wo?
men waiting to be enptured and talked
to that they might sharw Miss Mar
chand'a prestige.
PeaatatJ it was for this reasou that
Miss Maivhnnd, wulkiug dowu tbe val
ley Instcad of towanl the sprlngs. waa
coufrontcd by a lithe ngure above
arbaaa aaaara cut eaaa uppeared a
mask of black voivet that leut u deeper
brilliaiice to a glittoriug gray eye.
"I'm elad to see you this afternoon."
was the gieetlug. "I rather tbougbt I
shouid tiud you here. The woods are
too erowded al>ove. aud so I came dowu
tbls way. I truat that you .uffered uo
IU effects from Uie sliock of our ineet
iug yesicrday."
"1 rather cujoyed lt." admitted Ollve
frankly. "I roally thluk that the other
women are omlous."
Pete smiled at recollecUou of tbe
goodly compuuy he had passed ou his
way dowu the trail. There was uo
question about it. He uiotloued her to
a soat ou the falieu truuk of a tree
and aa| dow n beaide her.
1 he girl wus uu eager tjuestiouer, aud
ptaaaatlj ba was reeliug off storias ot
advaatara with a dash that brought
the giaar af ascttaaaaat to Mis*
Marcbauds eyea. To make lt stlll
more thrilling. there waa a crashiug
Mtad amoug the trees. and without a
wotd the outlaw awuug himself up
iuto a tall piue Just us the sberiff uud
his posse came tearlng aloug.
Thoy paaaad loug aaaaajfe to waru
the giii taal niuck Paaa was iiiajntii
to be Homewbere Iu her vicinity and
that U would be well for her to return
to the hotel by the trali instcad of
through the woods; then they uurrled
on. aud Pete swung himself down
from his perch.
"Tbls is the easiest ex]?erlence I ever
had." he declared laughiugly. "Tbe
sherlff trusts to uumbcrs aud hard rid
lug. with tbe result thut I have pleuty
of time to alaaapaat when i haaf him
coralng."
"It must be terrible to feel that you
nre a huuted thing." mused Ollvc. wlth
.1 little shudder.
"That'a the Joyoua part." declared
the outlaw. "I am not hunted wheu
the pursuit is in the hands of the
sherlff. But let'a forget the sberiff,"
be udded. "Pve told you all about my
self. Now, taru ubout is fair play."
"It would soem so tame after what
you have told me," ahe demurred, but
she was aoou decp iu her subject. aud
lt was uot until the nfteraoon ahudows
lengthened that at last she recalled
beisdf und hurried up the trall toward
the hotel. where bulf a huudred dlsap
]H>lnted women were already gathered
upon the i>orch.
There was uot exactly au arrange
ment to meet the following afteruoou.
but Black Pete had said tbat he would
he overon "the brancb." uud she found
tihn Uiere ln tbe late afteruoou. ^tThls
time he bad reuioved bls inask. dls
cloaing a taec ln which there waa no
hlnt of tbe depravity with whh-h he
was credlted. lt was an honcst. mauly
face. with fr::nk, gray eyes und I tan
?to of crlsp yellow curls al>ove a
smooth white brow. With the mask
off, only two 4.Vs awung ou bls hlp>
suggested the bad man. uud while
they talked Olive fot-ot that she araa
in company of a mau who wua out
lawed by society and upou whose head
there was an inereasingly heavy price
"deud or alhe." as the bllls of reward
read.
INrtB escorted her Bcaiiy to tbe hotel
by a short eut. and not until she cume
upon the hotel plazza aud beard them
dlscusslng the holdup of tbat mornlug
did she realize agjilu that this was the
man witb wh.un she had been spend?
ing the afteruoou.
Then followed weeks of ludecialon.
Sometimes olive would declare to ber
aelf thut she would never see Black
ivu- again. At aucb times abe bated
herself for having glven ber lova to a
breaker of the law. but love bad beea
glven. and love ls |x>werfu) above the
law. Ucr |?erIods of revulslon were
sure to be followed by peulteutlai
moods. when she was glud to pass
through the leafy aisles of the foiest
to their tryst.
I he guests of tbe hotel pronted by
the uhsorptlou of tbe bnndit. for days
paaaad when no holdup was recorded.
and the nttcndaiit'c Itegau to fall off.
Olive was glad tbat the depredutlona
woie less plentlful. for these were
iargc!y resp..nsiblo for her luoinents of
aatf Brraaatloa. Ftnaiiy. after ou* of
hU mo t brUUaut feuts. she at last de
cMafl to aja where"efoi'mfght try t?> for
get thi.t Mhe bad e??er loved him.
With eyes lu?*y with uusbed tears
she made ber wary to the little eave
where they freqaesafly met. Here they
would sagr goottiy. Pete had taught
her to "^ ?? IfchWy tUat ber foot
falls aaaajajB. waare axaSble. and so lt
bappeuedl tfcat ane came upon two men
talking ln tbe snadowa of a clump of
jduee wltbont betrayinc ber preseucat.
Her heart almoat ceased to beat for
m uiomeut as ?be raallzed tbat tbe two
meu were Pete aud Portmau, the pro
prletor of the hotel.
"You will aave to do better thau
thia." Portman waa sayiug. "You
have only pulled off two holdup* tbis
week. It ls gettlug too tarne for the
guests."
1 kuow lt" adiultted Pete. "but 1
have beeu bugy."
"1 pay you for your time." was Port
uiau'a augry retort. "You were to give
me at least one holdup a day. Mv
gutsta are dlsappoluted If lt doesn't
hapiH'u. und you've got to earn your
aalary."
"lin tired of the game." said Pete
sbortly. "Uo get some one else to be
your outlaw. rm doue."
"Now, don't get hot aud throw up the
Job like tbat." urged Portman. "You
kuow I can't breuk Iu a uew mau
rig-ht lu the middle of u season. It
would take him a month to learu tlie
patbs. and the sherift would cntch him
the first thlng: and spoll lt all. I dldn't
tuean to be so ahort. 111 give you $10
more a month."
"Do you thlnk that If money waa au
object I'd be an outlaw for $30 a
month?" demauded Pete. "No. You
go get some oue else ou tbe Job."
Fortrann's face was the picture of
despuir. His hlred outlaw bad beeu
tbe muklng of tbe hotel. It would Bet
be posaible at short uotice to flnd any
oue who could be trusted to rob the
guests and who had sufflclent wnod
craft to escape capture.
He was still seeklng a new argu
ment to advance when a call from the
uuderbrush caused both men to start
Pete weut boundlng luto the thlcket
to confront Olive.
"So you've found out what a farce 1
am?" he crled.
"And I am so glad." declured the girl.
"I knew ln my heart that you were
worthy. Pete, can't we have a honey
moon here in tlie woods? You cnn do
t*e holdupe lu the morning. aud I'll
help. It will be aucb fuu."
Pete1* eyes twlukled. "I'll make
Portmau give me a week off." he crled.
"aud then we'll resume opcrations at
the old ataud."
"There will be an awful time wlth
father." mused the girl. and Pete
laughed again.
"No trouble there." he assured. "You
*ee. I'm really Kobert Parkraan. We
have some business deals ou togetber.
ao he knows me. I'm only playlug
bandit becauae It promlsed more fun
than a mere camplng out trip."
Olive gaaped. She had bcard of the
ecoeutric mlllionaire. As I'arkmuu
took her lu hia arm the sherlff went
gallopiug past ou his way to Joia tbe
posse ln its aOa-ruoou Jaunt after the
outlaw.
"You beat the sherlff." he declared,
with a tender laugh. "You hnve cap
tured the outlaw for llfe."
"lt looks aa though lt were the other
way about." corrected Olive dcmurely
aa she glauced at the impriaoulng
arma. "My outlaw has captured me."
KaHy Franch Thaatara.
The French theater owes Us orlgiu
to the rellglous exhlbitlous glven by
?he pllgrlms on their return from
Palestlne. At these exhlbitlous tbe pll?
grlms gave an account of the Holy
Land aud reclted their owu adven
tures. They were afterward imltated
by those who had never beeu to the
Holy Land. To theae succeeded dra
matic repreaentatioua of subjects tak
eu from tha new text. aud. belag for
biddeu by the provoat of Parls. the
prleata of France lavlted the king to
be present at an exhlbitlon to prore
that they were culculated to exclte re
llgloua feellnga.
The bulidiug lu which those plays
ware produced was divlded Into three
scaffoldlngs. The hlghest represented
paraddae, the second the world. and the
loweat, which waa ln the form of a
dragon'a head. represented hell. Tha
only eutrance to the two upper scaf
foldiugs waa tbrough the dragou's
head.
The actors uever left the stage. even
to change their dreas, and the plays
were so loug aa to requlre several days
for their completion. At the close of

KNEW THE BENDER FAMILY.
John Kaapara Aided In tha Search For
tht Murdarart.
Perlodically the report goes over the
country that the notorlous Bender fam
ily of Kaaaaa haa been fouud. but al?
ways the rumor la foand to be false.
"They will naver be fouud." aald
John Keepers. an ax-Kuusau. uow IIv
tug ia Kausas Cltv. "When the Ben
ders left tbelr fnrm In Crawford coun?
ty. Kao.. in 1S73. after tbelr crimea
had been discovered. they are supposed
to bave goue iuto tbe Iudian Tenitory.
It is almost (in ubsolute cortainty that
tbe Benders were all killed aud burled
by outlaws like theiuselven. The Beu
ders kuew too much- tbat's wby they
were killed.
"I was oue of the party of men that
went to tlie Ileuder home wheu a
?earch was belug made for Dr. York of
ludepeudi-ace. a brother of Colonel A.
M. Y??rk or Fort Seott. We tuet old
man Bender at the gute and told him
our srruud He sald he had been sbot
ut af higliwuymen a few days baffaca
on the Yerdlgris river. slx miles dls
tant. That M us off on a false scent.
When we came back. ten days later.
the Benders had dlsappeared. The
diseovjry of their flight was made by
a niajtaliai nained Ptarca. Ile told
others. and a aaafta of the premlsea
was begun. We found a trapdoor in
the taar, aad baloar lt. in the cellar,
the gruvel tlooriug was stalned wlth
biood |n taa ajardaa ara fouud several
plor-es where tbe earth had sunk. Tbe
most recent appaariflg of these we dug
tuto aaJ foaad thara the body af Dr.
York. We aoaadad all the other de
pressions wlth au iron rod aud ln tbat
way fouud slxteeu bodlea. If I retnem.
ber rlghtly. u total of 104 persons wcra
reported inisslni: ln that iieiKhhnrhood.
Of course we uever kuew whether the
Benders had killed them all. for the
aocjlaa were not found. Kut I aallava
lf wa had Batda closer search at tho
time we could bave found many more
graves. All of tho murders occurred
ln tbe fall of 1873 and the winter and
aprlug of 187*.
"Tbe Benders kept a store nnd hotel
for iravaana taaagi I doa*t believe
th??y ever bad more than $10 wortb of
goods in tbe itoaa at auy oue time. and
I don't believe any traveler who stop
ped there ever lived to coiitlnue bls
Journey. if he wasu't murdered lu hia
aleep. be was killed at the diuiug
table."
Mr. Keepers does not credlt tbe story
that the Beuders were killed by u
lyncblug party not far from their home.
"If they bad beeu." be sald, "I would
have kuown about lt. There was a big
reward for each member of the fam?
ily. dead or allve. and lf they had been
killed some one wonld bave daimed
tbe reward. There 1? more probabllity
