Late that night, when the sleeper was black with darkness, except tor the fleeting rays of lights along the track that shone but tor the briefest fraction of a second as they priesed the ends of the ear, a shadowy figure, dad only en a dressing gown, quietly and cautionely emerged from one of the berth. It moved rapidly along until it was outside of Gwyn's com- partment: *en bent over and peer- ed in. A little pocket flash light eud- deoly illuminated the ear and reveal- ed, hand any one been awake to see it, the dark features of Von Bleck. He covered the encj ot the light with his hand to dim, its 'rays, and put it between. the curtains. Gwyn was sleeping soundly. Von Bleck watch- ed him. for a moment to see that he was not aroused by the light, and then, satisfied on that sore, reached across his body to a half -opened suit case resting in. a rack near the wind - OV. Slowly and carefully, so as not to awaken its sleeping owner, he lift- ed the suit ease from the rack and hurried back to his own berth. For a quarter of an hour, Von Bleck, in the seclusion of his sleep- ing eompartment, studied the cont- ents -of Gwyn's bag. A small packet of letters, which had been tucked carefully at the bottom, held his at- tention the longest. For the most part thee(' were of a personal nature. and contained nothing of interest to him, but finally one caught his eye. It was postmarked "Lost Mine" and was addressed in a flourishing Span- ish hand. He opened it: Dear Mr. Gwyn: Ani shipping your last order to -morrow. Yqu need have no fear of the supply becoming exhausted for some time to come. When am I to be honor- ed by a visit from you? Itruet be- fore long. Faithfully yours Carlos Ybarra. "Gwyn leaves for the West to -night on the Limithd," he'told his confreres over the -wire. "1 shall be on the same train. • I shall keep in touch with you while I am gone, and, in the meantime, you attend to any other matters that may come up during my absence. As mon as I am able, I shall wire you my address. I may need that five millions before get back. The Limited was rattling over the rails towards the West with a speed that was astounding. Outside it was already dark, and the lights along the roadbed shot by so fast that they resembled sparks flying up a hearth chimney from blazing logs below.' In the smoking compartment at the end of the car, John Gwyn sat, persuing some papers. The portieres parted and Von Bleck entered, He drew a cigar from his pocket and asked Gwyn for a match. The latter silently ac- comodated hira. "Pretty long and 'lonesome trip" the Central Powers' agent comment- ed. Gwyn nodded. He was appar- ently In no mood for striking -Up ac- quan.itances, But Von.

It was the .same smile that had played about his lips when he had met with. his associates earlier that day. He folded the pap- er noiselessly and replaced it in the envelope. Then, as it realizing the length of time which he bad kept Gwyn's suit case, he put the packet of letters back into the bottom of the bag and stole cautiously down the aisle to Gwyn's berth, A glance as- sured Ulm that its absence had not been noticed. The young engineer was still sleeping heavily. Ile had been thoroughly tired by the strenu- ous events of the previous day end his hasty departure. It required but a moment for Von Bleck to lay the suit case back on the rack near the window, where he had found it, and to hurry back to his own berth. Gwyn arose early the following morning, dressed, and used several articles from his bag. He did not notice that it had been tampered with. In the wash room he met Von Bleck, who was attending to his toilet and nodded to him. The latter re- turned the salutation and watched keenly from the corners of his eyes to see if Gwyn should appear the least bit suspicious that hie belong- ings had been ransacked. He was greatly relieved to learn that he was not. Early on the fourth day after leaving New York, the Limited drew into the little Western town of Bar- stow, at the foot of the great range of Sierra Mountains. John Gwyn, his bag peeked and his wraps on, was ready to alight and start on his important mission. As soon as the train mine to a stop, the young min- ing engineer jumped lightly from the platform and proceeded to the local hotel, which was located a short dis- tance from the depot. As the Limited chugged again, starting on the last lap of its journey to the West, Vet Bleck, who had been watching alertly from his seat for Gwyn to depart, jumped fiord hiseseatee He defied to the door, suit case in hand, and whits - pored into the porter's ear, slipping a crisp bill into his hand at the same time. The colored, worthy grinned knowingly, and nodded. With a jerk he threw open the vestibule door on Ithe side opposite the station.
