Walking quietly out, I worked my way unobtrusively to the gate which closed the passage leading to the yard at the back of the hall. Fortunately for me, the hubbub inside the building.

It did not take long to undeceive them, for in less than half a minute I hadn't as much as a rag to my back; and I was allowed to drag myself, bleeding, breathless, naked, and trembling in every limb, to a corner, where I lay feeling as one might who had been snatched from the ravening jaws of a pack of hungry wolves. It was some days before I was sufficiently recovered to journey to Tar-borough to claim my share of the money and to hear how Number Two had fared. I had telegraphed to say I was coming by the three o'clock train, and Hubbock was there with the trap to meet me. he said, barring the way with his bulky figure.

"We can't have no strangers along this passage. It's private property; so out you go and sharp." Finding him thus obdurate, I did what I ought to have done at first, and slipped a coin half a crown I thought it was into his hand. His fingers closed upon it in an instant.

"Ah! so you, too, have been interviewed by the people, have you? And how did you fare at their hands?" "It wasn't their hands I objected to so much as their feet," I said.

"Tearing one's clothes off one's back and bashing at one's head with half-bricks and sticks may have been only their playfulness. But when it came to knocking a poor devil down and dancing on his stomach, not to speak of kicking him in the ribs, why, then I began to feel that there was such a thing as having too much of the people." "I believe you," he groaned. "There is such a thing, and I've had it Lord knows. However, there's one consolation. We did the devils out of their 5,000, though I wouldn't go through such an experience again for 500,000.

Those who went over last Sunday to Gas City to see the Bronson baseball team cross bats with the Gas City club were well repaid for their trouble by seeing a hotly contested game that lasted thirteen innings, the final score standing nine to eight. LaHarpe was well represented in the game having no less than seven players on the two teams, Gas City playing three of them and Bronson four. Hits were few and far between and errors were also scarce, the few that were made however always being taken advantage of by the team at bat. If anything, the Bronson team did the heavier batting, but only by a shade. Goes for Gas City pushed a home run hit down the third base foul line so close that the umpire disallowed it and sent him back.

Griffith played his usual faultless game in the field, and made an extraordinary slide clear around the third baseman. The game had so many features that none can surprise, but greatly to my satisfaction, that he had not misled me. There, sure enough, was a parcel marked containing no less a sum than 1,000 in gold and small bank notes.

"Let me go, you dotard!" I shouted to the care-taker. "Let me go before I strike you. I must follow that man at all costs." The old fellow was a man of spirit, notwithstanding his years, and held me so stoutly I could not bring myself to strike him that some seconds passed before I could shake off his grip. When at last I managed to wrench myself free and leaped up to follow Hubbock, it was only to find that I had left the frying-pan for the fire.

Hubbock was quite right in observing that Number Two had had a "bad attack." The poor man's face was patched like an old coat, he wore a green shade over one eye, and was sitting up painfully in bed and as stiffly as a sawdust doll.
