CHAPTER XVI: -(Continued.)
I was tired of carrying on the war in
hie blind manner. I had been on the
luff over an hour, and nothing had
een accomplished. I crossed the
ridge, and walked up to the place
here the sheriff lay. I had an idea,
vhich 'I hoped would bring matters to
Ln issue. '
"Hold on, Mr. Bradshaw," said I, air
approached hirn. " You are wasting
our ammunition. The fellowis a hun-
red feet from you."
"This is hard work," replied the
heriff, wiping the perspiration from his
row.
" Yes, and'almost useless. I don't
elieve we have hit him a single time."
"1 thought he must be smashed to a
ily by this time."
"No; he is crouching under an over -
tinging rock, out here," I added, point -
g to the place *here had seen him.
"Hold on, then, and I will give him
me 'more," said the zealous officer.
" No, let him rest a few Minutes.
ne of us must keep watch of Min at a
fe distance from his pistol," I coritinu-
, picking up a small sticic from the
e ground. "Let us have some sig-
ls. I will go down where I can see
m, and direct you so that you can
irow the rocks is where he is."
"Good! I like that," replied the
Iiicer.
"When raise this stiek, it means
rther from Ino; when I lower it, near -
to me. When I carry it out to the
lit, it means on your side of the
tasni; When to the left, on the other
le," I proCeeded suiting the`ection to
e word.
I understand."
‘4 And when you are in the right
ace I will raise both hands," I added.
I returned to the bridge, and looked
r the robber 'again. He was not in
•e place where Ihad last seen him, and°
oncluded that, as he had explored the
lly from the point where he landed,
had gone in the direction of the fal-
tree over the chasm. Taking the
e of the gully opposite that on which
O , sheriff was, I followed it in the di -
thin of the tree. There Was a turn

tol, which Isxhibited,. By the time we
reached . the point in the gully where
the Raven .had grounded, the. robber
had arrived there, and the Sheriff at:the
point of the bluff above him. On the
way, I had loadedall the barrels of the
robber's revolver, and held it in my
hand. But the desperado seemed to be
very badly injured, and I was obliged to
help him into, the boat. He 'seated
himself opposite, me, and I put. his
travelling -beg in the cuddy.
Pushing' Off, Tom headed the 'Belle
out into the lake, in Order to 'take a
tack so as to reach the foot Of the path,
and receive the sheriff on board. Utt=
der the' lee of the Raven, the skipper
put the helm down, and I Wept forward
to clear away thejib. While I was thus
occupied, the robber made EC -sudden
spring at Tom, and taking him up iu
his arms, tossed him into the lake. The
deed was done in the twinkling of an
eye. The robber then .niade a leap to-
wards me. -
CHAPTER
THE robber appeared to be suffering so
much from the injuries in his shoulder
that I. had not considered him capable
of giving us any further trouble; and
when I went forward to clear aWay the,
jib, I put the revolver in my pocket'. I
did not suppose that a man who de-
claired that his shoulder was broken
would make an attack upon us, and I
had -relinquished the precautions adopt-
ed when the despeeado came on board.
I was astonished and horrifieclwhen I
saw Tom pitched into the lake with so
little ceremony. I saw the robber
spring towards me, and I fully compre-
hended his purpose. He doubtless in-
tended to throw me overboard also, and
then seek some more available landing
place than he had chosen before. I,
had only time to pick up the boat -hook,
when I divined his plan, before he was
upon half deck.,
Swinging the,' beat -hook over my
head, , I sprang towards the robber ;
and; clearing' the fore -stay, I brought it
down upon his bare pate with. a force
that felled him to the floor of the stand-
ingeromm
"1 think you will lie still for a while
how." said X. ,
!rhe Belle had lost her headway when
Tom was removed fromthe, helm, and I
vies, fertanatety able to rear& him with

and he grasped it, viith the ,hatad of the,
uniniared arm. IpuUetl him, and help.

Tom. '
"1 hope he has been statelier than I

"You have been smart," i dded TOM
\
" If I had not run into tl' at infernal

i. Who was that man wi 1 you 2" I
asked, recalling the scene a front of
the stable at the hotel.
a Who is he? You can ask just as
many questions as you please;a and I
can answer just as many as I like, re-

cauee I have been unfortunate. Itli, a
pity that a young man like rne should
be sent to the jug. Can't we make' a

"What do you mean by a trade 2"
asked the sheriff.

robber " I have mmb b t

thirty or forty thousand dollars -I don't
know how 'fetich. We didn't stop to
dount the money. Here are four of us,
and that's just ten thousand apiece. In
other words; if you will let the off, I
will give you ten thousand apiece,
whether I have anything myself or not."
" That's a pretty good offer," said
the sheriff, who had probably never
seen 10,000 dollars in his life.
I did not care to discuss such a ques-
tion, and therefore said nothing.
" It won't compromise you in the
slightest degree," continued the robber,
evidently encouraged by the remark of
the Officer. "Jut run the boat up to
the shore, and I will take care of my-
self. All you have to say is, that you
could not catch me. You can put a
shot or two through your hat, and
through your coat, to prove that you
have not been backward in following me
"Ten thousand dollars is a good deal
of money to a poor man like me," add-
ed Mr. Bi adshaw. "It's more money
than.I expected to see at one time."
"'it will not be the first time such a
trade has been made," urged the rob-
ber.
"What do you say, Wog?" added
the sheriff.
"I don't say anything," I replied.
" Here is a good chance to make
901210 money."
"1 can tell you a better chance."'
"What's that ?"
4 Go 'up and rob the Middleport or
the Ilcayga. Bank, if. you ,do the job
well, I have no doubt you eau make
fifty thousand by it."
- 440f course I wouldn't rob a bank,"
he replied..
44 You might as well as make a trade
with this fellow. It's all , the same
"You "really don't suppose Lmeant
to do such a thing, said he, with, a
sickly sinile.•
'".Cdnie, what do you may ?" persisted
the, rohber,glancing anxiously ahead,
,for we .were, rapidly approaching Priam.
We will not say anything more
&bont replied the sheriff.
And 11. did not. 1 will notsay
whether, it the sheriff had been alone
he would, have mede.such a nefarious
bargain as thatsuggeseed by the rob-
ber; but I considerecleit better that he
was not alone."
s" Do you suppose they have Caught
thc) other fellow ?" asked Tom, as, we
approached Priam. ,
" If they „haven't, they will catch
him," I replied.
"What makes you think so

swered,
"You don't ,know so much as you

"4,I think I shall be able to find Lord

TY was decided that the sheriff.should

o'clock, and would be at Priem about
two. The doetor insisted that Tom
slieuld keep quiet for two or duel) days,
and he'reluotantly consented to return
, the steamer, while 1 went up the
lake to the Cataract House, to see
what had become of Lord Palsgrave.
Soon after we arrived at the hotel,
Schleifer declared that he was nearly
starved, for he had not eaten anything
since he hadtaken his supper the night
before in Hitace. I ordered an early
dinner for the whole party, andthe rob-
ber's handcuffs were removed to enable
iim to use his knife and fork; but both
he sheriff and myself had &revolver by
he side of our plates, and the rascal
made no attempt to escape.
While we were at dinner, Captain
ynders and Waddie arrived, on their
eturn from the pursuit of the other
obber. They had not been able to ob.
ain the slightest clew to him in this
irection, and had come to the conclu-
he'll that he had gone towards Ucayga;
at a party had been sent in that direc-
On , and it was hoped he had been cap-

"How far did you go, Waddle?" I

"Lord Palsgrave," I added, with in -

" He's your man."

"You have not seen the robber we

"Why 2"
" He is an old acquaintance of oars."
The robber ?"
" Yes; in a word, it' is the hardware

I'm afraid Mae never will show muc

There is no sympathy for the perpe

however.

One believes in ballot girls, while the
other prefers ballet girls.
Little Mrs. — for instance.
I don't think Mae is going to be in
any hurry about resigning. In fact I'm
sure of it since I have seen Brown.
I called at the Grit headquarters the
other day to interview Hon. George,
and to him quoth with considerable
thusness :
" Morning, sir. Hope I see you."
Weel, Meister Briggs, hoo's a' wi'
ye, said the Dictator, with a frigid and
constrained smile.
Somewhat middling, I responded.
By tho way is our friend McKellar like-
ly to resign his fauteuil at theExecutive
Council, and pass the evening of his
days in the calm and peaceful pursuit
of agriculture, where the Lauder ceas-
eth from troubling and tho scandalized
are at rest.
Hoot, mon, said Brown, dinna fash

,Gin I hal) ony faut to find wi' Mac. it's
that he's a wee bit ower zealous an' ac-

But, said I, will the party stand his
blunders much longer ?
Stand it, replied ,Brown. What dae
ye mean mou ? They hae got tae
stand it when I say so. Wha wad
dahr tae dispute My will. Mr. McKel-
lar shall remain in the Government. I
hae jist pit my foot doon I said he, suit-

ing down His North-east beetle crash-
er with an energy that made the build-
ing reverberate, and brought two or
three clerks running in from the front
office to sae if some accident had hap-
pened.
That conversation was quite satisfao-
tory to my mind. There is no danger
of McKellar having to resign.
When George Brown's foot comes
down, either in a moral or physical
sehse, further argument is unavailing.
Sir John is in town, Ho came in to
