He cursed softly and straightened again, staring into the muzzle of Haines' revolver. "Very neat, damn you!" he said bitterly. "Sorry, sheriff. But put them up quick.

A few drops of blood oozed out as he continued, but he k.T': woilJ'riT ury/'.l the land After that, to rest the aching nerves of the hand, he lay on his back on the bed and ran his eyes over the cracks on their ceiling. There he lay until the darkness was comr'ete. And when he began to move again it was with such a faltering slowr.ecs that indeed he seemed a feeble old fellow who has lived out the apoints'd three-score and ten, instead of a burly and vigorous man in the latter prime of life. However, what he was doing had a significance which was young enough. He was looking to his revolver. And he was looking to it in the utter blackness of the dark! His fingers seemed to have eyes for that work. They worked swiftly, and yet were unhurried. The big weapon was first unloaded, and then it was taken apart all in the dark and all in the dark it Was reassembled, the shells inserted again, and the cylinder was And the action was as smooth as silk. When his gun was ready and leaded crce more he wa? still not ready. He lighted a lamp, drew his shads, and srent an hour in a strange practice, which consisted of jerking the gun from the hester on his thigh with liehtning speed and leveling it at some object in the room, which might be the kr'rb of the door of the high light which lay along the rim of the bowl on the washstand. Then he began to walk softly to and from in the room, and when the impulse moved him he jerked his weapon and whirled, aiming it again. They were adroit movements, but always they appeared to disappoint Haines. And finally he went to the stained and cracked mirror, and holding the lamp above his head, he examined his face with a care which plainly the solid bulk of so big a man as Lee Haines would be nothing to his strength. He saddled the great black horse, arranged the pack behind the saddle, all with the consummate care of one who knows that little details count most in big affairs, and then led the spirited animal out and mounted. His journey led straight down the street of the village where the great- his face, as loosely spraying a ten-ton wagon had rolled over him. Outside the building there was an answering yell of inquiry from Deputy George. At the door it was taken up by the clamor of a dozen voices. CHAPTER XIII. freedom has its shackles.

Here he dis-ted, and as he did so he heard a girl's voice singing not far away a Mexican waltz sonig: 'Que viva la rumba; Que viva, que viva placer." He listened to the singing for a moment. There was something so joyous reless in it that it made his mood of the moment darker than ever. She might be still singing, this happy passer-by, when guns were sounding ' i the jail. After that he went forward again, ircled the building, and came to the front entrance. It was surrounded by a group of men talking idly of idle things, but there was no doubt that they had been drawn there by the knowledge that a murderer was in- The door to the office was open, and in it were Sim Hargess and his deputy, with a half dozen others. Lee Haines picked Hargess from the rest and drew him to one side. "Sheriff," he said, "I have something of importance to tell you. It has to do with your man, Harry Gloster, inside." "Let's have it, then." "Rather have you alone when I tell it," The sheriff regarded him for a moment of doubt, then he sent the others from the room and shut the door behind him. "I guess you got no objections to George staying?" he said. "I'd rather have you alone, sheriff." Again the sheriff hesitated. But eventually, with a shrug, he bade George follow the others. "Mind if I lock the door behind him?" asked Haines, doing the thing before he received an answer. "What the devil!" growled Hargess. "You afraid that they'll break in to hear what you have to say?" He began to work feverishly, groaning as every key failed to fit the lock. Gloster had merely scooped up his hat and placed it on his head, completing his readiness to leave. Now he took the revolver, spun it in his hand, and then tossed it onto his bunk. "I'll leave this where it'll do no harm," he said. "A gun like that is apt to do a lot of killing if a man doesn't look out." Haines favored him with a glan&S-, „ rapt wonder. I "That's a fool's idea!" he declared. i"But--" Here the lock turned and the door was cast open by Gloster's shoulder. "Now for the rear door!" cried Haines. "Right outside the sheriff's horse is tied. Jump into the saddle. I'll cut the reins loose. Fast, Gloster, for heaven's sake!" The two inside reached the rear door, twisted at the knob, and found it locked. It meant another search among the keys, and such a search meant a delay which would render all escape hopeless. Hainss, with a groan, started to fit the keys*, however--since even hopeless work is better than inaction--but Gloster warned him away, and as he stepped aside a human battering ram went past him and hurled itself against the door. stout door. And flung back the heavy body of Gloster as if he were a rubber ball He staggered away, found footing once more, and returned to the charge, shooting straight ahead, then swerving at the last instant and giving the wood the rubbery mass of muscle on his shoulders as a pad for his weight. The shock cracked the lock as if it were cast iron. The door flew open and spilled Gloster into the outer night where he was welcomed by a yell from half a dozen throats. (To be continued.)

Men have no right to neglect to consult their wives on matters concerning their financial standing in the opinion of this financial expert. "I think," declares this expert, "the men are taking a responsibility they have no right to assume, when they refuse to share financial problems witn their wives. Women are brave crea tures. They may not look ahead any too much, and It takes a blood producing curb to bring them to a halt, but they are undaunted. I know that were women to-day to acquire a sound financial knowledge they would be the family stabilizer, and in many cases the supporter." Advising a woman who had been left her husband's money without the necessary knowledge of what to do with it, Mrs. Laimbeer says, "Entirely outside of the husband's mistake in failing to teach his wife something I about financial matters, there are many lessons to be learned. First,! that the house behind the invesment; to be bought must be of absolute honesty and integrity. Second, that where the wife knows nothing about making investments, the life insurance should have been put into an income paying policy administered by some well-known Trust Company. Third, that a second life insurance policy should have been maintained for funeral and living expenses until the estate was settled. Fourth, that no man can lead a married life and pretend he's single in regard to financial matters."
