"I found it here," she said, "and "it Beems sharp enough to cut canvas quick ly. Here's a strong and not very heavy blanket for you to' muffle the man with. Can we do it right off?"

"Yes," Will replied. They emerged cautiously into the darkness, which had become as heavy as rain laden clouds could make it, and passed a dozen tents and wagons m which no signs of wakefulness were given by the occupants. Suddenly Will, who was ahead, drew Deuce back behind a wheel. He had heard the approach of footsteps, and there was barely time to ensconce themselves before Aleck Wiams passed by so closely that they could have touched him. Will left Deuce where she was and stole after the man until he en tered his own tent. It was a small one, exclusive to Wiams' own use, and situ ated near by the makeshift jail. A light soon glimmered within, and then the watcher saw him fasten the opening to gether, inclosing himself with remark able care. Will dropped on his hands and knees, crept slowly to the back side of the tent and lay flat on the ground. The canvas showed no hole through which he could look m. He crawled all the way around the tight structure without discovering a lesion m the cloth. He heard Wiams astir within, and the position of the lighted lamp was changed several times. At length, despairing of a less risky de vice, Will took out his penknife and made a tiny slit. With one eye at the aperture he looked m. Aleck Wiams sat astride a trunk, on which stood the lamp, while m his hands he held a package of treasury notes of the same fraudulent manufacture that had been taken from his two scapegoats. He was irresolutely fingering them, as though making up his mind with diffi culty what to do with them. When a determination was reached he had to summon all his resolution to carry it out. He held a handful of the notes over the glass funnel of the lamp, but before the heat ignited the paper he drew it away. Wiams was compelling lnmself to re luctantly burn the remainder of his stock of spurious money for fear that it might be discovered. He had obtained it to mix with cash to pay to his employes. A little had been used m that way, and Detective Alloway had followed the trail by means of these cautious outputs. It seemed the part of common sense to make his safety sure by destroying all the evidence of guilt rather than keep it at his peril. Again he held the pack age over the lamp and a charring corner broke into a flame. ,

"Stop, you scoundrel!" Will Brown yelled impulsively.

Wiams' action was equally inconsider ate and instinctive. He dashed the lamp to the ground. But instead of putting out the light he created a vastly greater one. The glass broke with an explosion, and the oil was thrown over the man's clothes. The tent and its occupant were instantly ablaze.

A screech of fright and agony re sounded through the camp. The tent flamed high, and was gone like a flash of fireworks, leaving Wiams burning like a great torch. The oil had saturated his garments and he was enveloped m fire.

The four temporary jailers ran hastily to the spot. Deuce Low was next. She saw the burning man, and believed that some mischance of the intended rescue had delivered her father from, durance into this awful disaster. She had brought the blanket from where Will had dropped it on leaving her. She desperately wrapped the woolen cloth around the fiery object. Then other hands helped and the flames were smothered, but they saw that the man was dead, and Deuce as well as they recognized him as Aleck Wiaim Her father hugged her, for the abandonment of his jail had left him free to join the excited throng. "Oh, dad!" she cried, kissing him hys terically, "I thought 'twas you." "Well, you were saving your father just the same," exclaimed Will Brown, "for you kept this evidence of his inno cence from being burned," and he took from the scorched hand of the dead criminal the half burned bunch of com> terfeit notes. There was no more imprisonment for Jack High and Old Jugg Brown. A few days later they were discussing the sin gularity of their escape and the com mendable parts played m that event by their children. "It occurs to me," said Jack, without quite hiding Ms idea that such a thing would be condescension, "that nothing would delight me more than to marry my girl to your boy." "An' I've been a t-h-inking," responded Jugg, with still less concealment of his belief that the bestowal of honor would be hia, "that I'd like to have my boy marry your gal." "Of course my daughter would not go into an engagement without first getting my consent." "An 1 my son wouldn't pop the auestion without my knowin' of il beforehand." At that moment the youngsters joined them. "Father," said Will Brown, "this young lady is Miss Laura Wallace, and she has consented to become my wife, and m telling you of it I am going to say something to you— straight and plain. You must sign a total abstinence pledge atvd keep it or we will disown I you. The escape you have had should be a life warning to never taste whisky Again." Old Jugg Brown was silent and sol emn a moment before grasping hijs son's hand, and said: "So help me God, I will never taste the stuff again. An' I wish you g-o-y." "Dad," said Miss Wallace, "it is true that I have engaged myself to Will, and you are the only reason why I shouldn't De his wife. But if you will swear to. let that game of poker be yqur last hand of cards I will name the wedding day and put you on probation." "I solemnly swear that I will never gamble again," he slowly answered. **Goa "bless youl" and he kissed a scar which the fire had left on her hand.

The fathers subsequently signed their jnfwnes to a certain marriage certificate as "Robert H. Wallace and Henry A. Brown, witnesses;" The nicknames of Jack High, and Old Jugg were silenced along with that of Deuce Low when she became Mrs. Brown, and it seems im probable that they will ever be revived. THE END.

Tour lozenges have done wonders m relieving my terrible cough. Since I had .he operation of ' Tracheotomy ' (the sama as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Bospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough ; it was so oad at times that it quite exhausted aie.
