Next be turned his Steps to the [inion depot, bought a ticket for San Francisco and boarded the first west bound train, These treacherous moves were the result of some serious cogitations dur- ing his midnight ride. It was clear that he stood no chance to win Miss Grenntse. It was also more than prob- able that his forgeries could not now be concealed, thanks to this crazy western trig. If John Draper got wind of these, Hien he, Reuben L. Filley, was a ruined rogue, and be could never bow his face in New York again. With $50,000 in cold cash he could st afresh in another country-Austra for instance. He would disappear, a people could put any construct thereon that they liked. Most pro bly the two robbers would be blain t. for i Weighing these pros and cons, ecoundrel felt no compunctions c the black treachery to the ladies and Draper. His sole concern was to cure his own skin and feather bis o nest at one and the same time. B not until his fingers closed on the m ey in front of the bank window his mind fully made up. The two members of the gang lay seclusion all that Monday. By noo time at furthest they calculated th Piney should have returned. But came not.

It was not yet bright day- light even on the beights above. Iters in the holows a, sllgbt mist added to the obscurity caused by the faint light, A more favorable moment for surprise and attack could not have been fantail. In the cave at tills hour all was sl - lent.

']'rue., tbere was some pretense of keeping guard, but even those on watch were dozing. Dallon himself was sunk in slumber. Suddenly the bright mouth of the cave, which faced the east, was dark- ened by a number of stalwart forme. The troopers had crept sileutly down the hidden approach and ranged them- selves in line neroas the entraneo. Once: lignin rang out the frontier chellen o to seereude'r: "Throw up your hands!" It was 5 complete t:urprise. Dallon himself was scarcely awake when be was pouni'ed en by a couple of soldiers a ad r11upi:i1 klei,Use, struggling and ceasing into the daylight. Not a shot had been fired and hardly a blow struck, yet there was the notorious Dallon gang in the tolls of Uncle Sam! Chester Ives was among the first' to rush into the interior, and in a few strides be was among his friends, with ellss Madge in his arias, her head on his shoulder and shaking hands with all the others. A great deal may be taken for granted at such a time. "I knew you'd do It," she sobbed in- coherently, "however did you manage it, Mr. Ives?" inquired Mrs. Ilurst, who trem- ulously beamed on the young mail. "You'd d nevrs guess, my dear Mrs. Hurst," he replied, "but 'twas easy enough, though rather wet. But let me introduce Lieutenant Crosby," he con- tinued as the gallant officer approached, the erstwhile captors having in turn be - tome the captives and being all secur- ed. some of them already on their way C6 "Throw up your hands!" to jail under a strong guard. "You must thank Lieutenant Crosby and his men for the rescue." John Draper made due acknowledg- Meats, and then more introductions followed, not forgetting Ben Gallup. "What can have become of Reuben Filley?" queried Uncle John. "I hope no harm has befallen him." "We've got his escorts," said Crosby, and they swear they haven't seen bins since yesterday morning when he ieft them in Denver to proceed to the bank." "Strange -very strange," remarked Draper. "But it may be that there was some difficulty over tlse money, though I did not anticipate any." "Well, let us hope that you have saved your money and. that he has saved his skin," laughed the lieuten- ant. Then he Inquired: "Now, Mr. Draper, what can I and my men do to help you further?" "Why, the first thing is to get to Denver, I suppose," replied the rail- road president, looking inquiringly at the ladies of the party as he spoke. "By all means," replied airs. Hurst "tut we cannot go in this plight" she said, spreading out her hands and mo- tioning toward the soiled and disorder- ed dresses of herself and .the two younger ladies.. "Cannot we get back to the Miran- da?" inquired Miss Granniss. "Oh, yes; do, Uncle John," begged Mudge. "Then we can fix up and get something to eat and go into town in style after alt." "Why, my dear, I don't even know it the ears are where we Ieft diem, These villains may have wrecked them, or the railroad people may have discover- ed them and hauled them away," was the reply.

"No, Ted, You know I shall want you to carry out the ashes after the wood is harried up," answered Inether. "Then I'll be throng's with it, moth- er?" "No, I think not," alio oared mother, while Ted's eyes grew big with wonder. "Von will scatter the ashes on the corn- field, and father will plow theta in the spring.

TEN YEARS FROM NOW, Will tiro non -advertiser be satisfied or sorry that be has not made use of the same means that his more enter- prIsing competitor has employed to -create a name and a sale for his goods? To ask the question is to answer ft. Let the question be put to any bust ness man who began making Fin intelli- gent use of newspaper publicity ten years ago, and it's dolling to dough- nuts the answer wiI! be in favor of advertising, One has but to go through our towns and cities with his eyes open if he world find the answer. .It is to be found in the largest factories, the most up-to•date plants and in the well-to-do business men of the country. What does it mean when you see perohed high over a great manufactur- ing plant an illuminated sign inform- ing the traveller that "This is the Home of --Underwear," or "Here's Where —are made," etc. ? It simply means that a few years ago some enterprising business man realized that in advertis- ing-baoked by quality -lay the key to increased demand. He branded his goods, and when the pabilo see that brand they recognize an old friend -a sncoessfnl old friend, and the public does dearly love a success, How different with the non-adver- tiaar! He may have made money- aooidents. will happen -but his market is insecure. His name is not an household word. His goods have no "Home," or at least if they have the publio has no interest in it. He has not the same legacy of pride in the quality or in the brand of his goods to bequeath to those who Dame after him. The present Is an especially opportune time for the Canadian business man to open an advertising campaign, Times are good, and new comers are flocking to our conntry.
