"You oruel znen—but I know you. have In secret a high opinion of Larry's abili- ties, though you may pretend to laugh now and then." The arrival of the object under con- sideration at their seat prevents any fur- ther conversation. Larry it is, puffing out his cheeks with tnimendous importance. "I've got an idea. my dear boy. Wait eutitil you hear it—then congratulate me." "'With pleasure„" returns the other. Larry glances around him. He does not oare to share his bright thoughts with those who may be enemies, and they are known to have a number of this class on board the limited train.

LarrY tries to swell out with more im- portance, but it is impos.sible, since he has already reached the point of danger. "Now, listen to me, my friends, while I explain my idea. Of course, it must hold until night comes. Jack will get the exact time we stop at some station. Tim- ing himself, he will leave the car. These men can be depended on to follow. jack must lead them a little obase, give them the slip, and run back to the twain as fast as he can. The second he puts his toot on the step, the conductor will start athead." "All how d'ye taacav he will?" "Because you must have an arrange- ment with him beforehand, dear boy. That little part of nay plan I have left to your ingenuity." "Pll wrestle with it, and endeavor to do my duty," says Jack, in mock humil- ity. "Tbat's one scheme." "What I you have others, Larry?" "Jove, dear boy, hosts of them. They bristle like quills on the back of the fret- ful porcupine. Here's an idea that might come in later. ,We could arrange for a special to be ready at Denver, where we lost half an hour. It would take us to St. Louis in time to catch a twain in advance of the one regularly made." Jack opens his eyes at this. "Bless me, a 'splendid thought. If it comes to the worst have a talk with the condector about it. What else, my dear fellow?" Larry has only started, Be. begins to describe certain uniene plans for accom- plishing the desirea nault, some of them so very original, that Doctor .Tack is eairly titaiegered. "Hold on, I beg 01: eau! Don't bewilder me. Talk about your otodinal Richelieu. Be couldn't how it eendle to Larry Ben - ^may," and he really niennil what he says 'this time. "Then you will aeropt and twy one of these plans?" asks the proud inventor, twisting his diminutive whiskers with the air of a conqueror. "All of them, Larry, in time, if neces- sary. But first we will endeavor to leave our friends, the enemy, to-night,with the aid of the conductor. There he oomes, now. I'll talk with him a, CHAPTER XXVIII. The conductor is, of course, inclined. to dee non -committal. He has heard much cf Doctor Jack's story, and is deeply in- terested, ready to do all ixi his power to teasist him, and yet at the same time fully &aware that his duty Will not allow him to swing trains at the whim of a passene ger.

He gravely kisses Ills wife good -by, shakes bands witle his two friends, walks to the ead of the car, and, steps off, Lord Beckett and Garcia have appar- ently already taken the alarm, for they aro not, in sight, jut strides away. Bis zee:tuner is that of owe who travels no more at present, "What success?" asks A.vis, eagerly, as Larry manes baok to her side. "The best, I believe. At any rate, saw two dark forms gliding after hien." Doctor Jack's wife cannot help from showiug anxiety, no matter what un- limited conadenee she puts in him. "What time is it, Laxly?" Be 'consults his cluonometer. "Seven and a bait after pine." "And we leave beret" "At exectly nine -ten." There remains two and a belt minute. Hours could, not ordinarily seem longer to this devoted wife. There are times when we measure the passage of seconds by heart beats—when even. a, minute may seem an eternity. Larry walks up and down, trying to smother his own irapatiencenwhile Kirke Smith is on the platform keeping an eye about. At length. Larry walks to the end of the car. The tirae is about up. A few mare seconds and the 'teethe must start It the conductor is as prompt as he bas pro- mised to be. A band touebes Larry's shoulder, and, turning, he sees Avis, who has been un- able to remain in the car, when so much is at stake, "Surely the time must be up," the says. "Just." Even as Larry utters tbe word, there is a whistle from the engine, a jerk of the cars—they move. Doctor Jack's wife holds her breath. If be has made a mistake of three seconds, jack will not only leave his ene- mies behind, but be caught in the same trap. The traiu moves slowly at first, being a long one, but the momentum inoreases. "There he comes!" exclaims Larry. A. figure appears in view at the farther end of the station platform; a figure that delays not a second, but rushee across the lighted space after the train with a speed equal to a young cyclone; a figure that the eyes of the loving wife instantly recognize as Jack. Will he reach the last car? The train moves faster each second, but Doctor Jack has not yet put forth his best efforts though rapidly annihilating the space that separates them. Now he makes a spurt --encouraged by the presence of Avis, whom he sees. Five feet only separate him from the platform, but the train is going at a lively rate. Another burst of speed; two feet re- main, Ile puts out his hand; a fall now must mean ruin to his hopes; but Jack Is light on his feet. Kirke Snaith stands on the steps. He holds on to the rail, bends forward and reaches out his horny hand, which Doo - tor Jack instantly seizes upon. Another second and the daring runner has swung himself upon the back plat- form of the last oar. Be has won. Avis throws her arms about her hus- band. "Oh, Jack!" she says, with along breath. "I began to fear you would lose the race. It was a terrible moment of suspense," at which the doctor, though exceedingly short of breath just at the time, is compelled to laugh, as the ludi- crous side of the matter appears before "How did yeti succeed? Were you fol- lowed?" asks the Texan, eagerly. "Two shadowy figures kept after me up to the bbne when I gave theta the slip, and made a bolt for the train. They could not have gotten aboard—simply impossible—I ran as fast as I could, and had it narrow escape, as you have all semi." "By Jovel look yondab.1" exclaims Larry, at this juncture, and all turn their eyes backward over the road bed. They are now quite a distance from the station. Nearly art eighth of a mile, and making good time that momentarily grows faster. The track chances to be straight, so that they can readily see the well -lighted platform and. all its immediate surround- ings. Even as they look in response to Lar- ry's call, two figures come dashing upon the boards. They are men who thus run, racn who have beyond a doubt been left by the train; men who even rim tip tlae track some distance, as rattled travelers left behind are apt to do, in the vain hope of overhauling the train that has given thein the slip. O course, the distance is too great for our friends to make them out, but they are almost positive as to the identity of the men who leave been dropped so neatly. Larry in aarticular is greatly tickled over the discomfiture of the enemy, He takes off LIS hat and makes a bow in the direction of the stragglers, "Farewell — farewell — the best of friends must part" lee says, dramatic- ally, and, of course, the tvro figures, now growing shadowy in the dim distance, answer not a word, Doctor jaele regains his breath after a while. They are speeaing along over the open prairie now, the town hievidg been left behiud, and as the night air decidedly ehilly, it is deemed proper that they seek for warmth aud comfort inside the ear. Jack bas already told in a few senten- ces how he eamaged to outwit the two mon who followed him so elosely, It is not his habit to boast, and those who hear what he bas to say must draw upon their own imaginations to till in the story. Laxly walks forward to indenge iu it smoke, for the oar has been, turned uremia during the day, and. the little compartment ie no longer at the rear. A few minutee later they see blm hast- ening toward. them. His expression is really ludicrous,. At the same time they can see that the dude bas received, ashoca. He siuks iota a seat opposite Doctor Jack and his wife, who have lust ar- ranged with the steward for it little sup- per, and hate it table spread, between them, "What is the matter, man?

"Well, hardly. lave lenown people to try it, but the attempt generally ended in failure. Wily do you ask that? Is it possible—" Larry jerks his thumb over hie sboulder. "I've found 'en snugly deposited in the senoning-room," he says, laconically. "Them? Do you mean the Beitither aud his Chinon ally?" Larry nods, unable to say a word, Doctor Jack looks at his wife again, and laughs. He takes it very coolly, ha-, deed; one would think it might be it great joke with bine. ‘liTQW ea n it be possible, WI1011 we saw those leen lose the train?" Avis asks. "All my dear, not am of us could de- clare their identity attliat distance. As to the two men who followed me, I only saw thane in the dart.

"Then it was all useless?" "Not so. We have reduced. the eiumber of our foes by two. VIM is something to feel good over. I believe Lord Beckett and. Garoia are all we have to watch now, and by my next coup d'etat I hope to get rid of them." "You have wesolved, tben—" begins Larry, but his drawl is so labored that Jack, as is often the case, firdthes the sentence for him, "To have it special awaiting our arrival In Denver, on which we 6111111 outstrip the regular train and. leave our foes be' bind." "Three oheers for Doctor jack!" but the other's frown causes Larry to reetrain hie enthusiasm. sleeper when the remainder of the east- bound train had passed from sight. Some of -the passeugers grasp -this story eagerly. Strange bow people want to be connected with some notoriety, especially when it does not oost anything and in- volves no dangers. Doctor Jack and Larry exchange a glance, and even the dude's smile is sug- gestive. Evidently they know just about how that car chanced to be left behind.

CHAPTEll XXIX. Presently the Englishman is seen to look through the car. Larry declares that he seems greatly surprised when his eyes fall upon Doctor jack, but he returns again to the seclusion of the smoking apartment, where doubtless various schemes are being brought forward be- tween the colonel and himself, having for their object the detention of the hernerican, perhaps even his death. Having talked. the matter over with the others as they pass the time over the little table, Jack proceeds to make out a message which ne desires to send ahead, and which will give him a tight squeeze on the game. Then he waits for the conductor, with whom he has a long talk ixi the seclu- sion of the state -room. Sworn to secrecy concerning the feats, this official folds, the message up with some bank bills; Jack hands over, and. then the affair is as goad as arranged. Jack can lie on his oars. all that is necessary is to watch the. enemy and circumvent any move look- ing to a sly attack from the rear. When Denver is reached by this trans- continental train, there will be a sura prise in store for some people, no doubt.. The schemes of the two allies may em- brace a variety of forms, since one wants; the secret packet that seems of such Im- mense value to Doctor Jack, while the' other covets his wife. By this time, however, the bull -dog nature of the British nobleman has been fully aroused. Be hates Jack with intense fervor. Every victory of the American stirs up tbe sluggish bad blood in his. vebas, -until he is now in a conditioo bordering on frenzy, though outwardly cool, and could see the man against whom his (weer is kindled burned at the stake with plteasure. When two such unscrupulous plotters strain their energies in the endeavor to hatch up mischief, the chances are they will arouse something of it commotion. An hour later the sleeter drops off from the train which goes on and leaves it on the open prairie. Luckily the acci- dent is discovered. by the conductor a few minutes later. He happens to look out of it window and sees lights a mile or so itt the rear, where no illumination could be expected, pokes his head. out still farther, counts tlae cars, and. finds his traln one short of the number with which it started. So he pulls the cora, stops the train, and they back down the traok to secure the lost sleeper. Already those on board have beconae aware of the situation, and crowd the platform. An investigation shows that it has been no accident. Some strong hand uncoupled the cars after detaching the belneope and accomplish- ing other things that are necessary on account of the vestibule. No one makes any accusation. True, Colonel Garcia was in the smoking com- partment, but he was the first to give the, alarm' and declares he saw a rough man, whomhe took to be a trainman, doing, something outside the door, but paidi little heea to the matter until the sleeper slowed up, whet, looking along the track,' he discovered they were left.
