Ee tN "I read somewhere that in the United States every year there is 40,000,000 gallons of whisky used for medical purposes." Glenister laughed. "Speaking of whisky, Dex, I notice that you've been drinking pretty hard of late--that is, hard for you." The old man shook his head. "You're mistaken. It ain't hard for me." "Well, hard or easy, you'd better cut it out." a ! It was some time later that one of the detectives employed by the Swedes met Glenister on Front street and by an almost imperceptible sign signified' bis desire to speak with him. When The Spoilers.

I was mistook for you, which compliment I don't aim to have re peated." Glenister questioned him eagerly. "We're about thé same height, an' these hats of ours are alike. Just as I eame by that lumber pile down youder: a man hopped out an' throwed a 'gst' under my nose. He was quicker than light and near blewed my skelp into the next block before he saw who I was. Then he dropped his weepon and said: "*'My mistake. his apology." "Could you see who he was?" "Sure! Guess." ww "1 can't." I \ : "It was Bronco Kid." "Lord!" ejaculated Glenister. You think he's after me?' "He ain't after nobgdy else, an' take my word for it, it's got nothin' to do with MeNamara nor that gamblin' row. He's too game for that. There's some other reason." This was the first mention Dextry bad made of the night at the Northern. "I don't know why he should have it in for me. I never did him any fa- vors," Glenister remarked cynically. "Well, you watch out anyhow. I'd sooner face McNamara an' all the crooks he can hire than that gambler." During the next few days Roy un- Go on.

A few nights after Glenister had read son to recall the words of the sleuth' and to realize that the game was grow-4 ing close and desperate. To reach his{ cabin, wiiich sat on the outskirts of the! town, he ordinarily followed one of the plank walks which wound through' the confusion of tents, warehouses and cottages lying back of the two prinel-! pal streets along the water front. This! part of the city was not laid out in rectangular blocks, for in the early rush the first comers had seized what- ever pleces of ground they found va- ant and erected thereon spme kind of buildings to make good their titles. [here resulted a formless jumble of wuts, cabins and sheds, penetrated by 10 cross streets and quite unlighted. At night one leaving the illuminated portion of the town found this dark- ness intensified. Glenister knew his course so well bat he could have walked it blindfold- x. Nearing a corner of the warehouse his evening he remembered that the lanking at this point was tern up, so 0 avold the mud he leaped lightly weross. Simultaneously with his jump 1e detected a movement in the shad- ws that banked the wall at his elbow ind saw the flaming spurt of a revolver bot. The man had crouched behind he building and was so close that it seemed Impossible to miss. Glenister 'ell heavily upon his side, and the ttought flashed over him, "McNama- ra's thugs have shot me." His" assaflant leaped out from his hiding place and ran down the walk, the sound of his gnick. soft footfalls thudding faintly out into the silence. The young man felt no pain, however, so scrambled to his feet, felt himself over with care and then swore round- ly. He was untouched. The other had missed him cleanly. The report, coming while he was in the act of Teaping. had startled him so that he had lost his balance, slipped upon the wet boards and fallen. . His assailant was lost tn the darkness before he could rise. Pursuit was out of the question, so he continued homeward, cousiderably shaken, and related the incident to Dextry. "You think it was some of MeNn- mara's work, eh!" Dextry inquired when he had finished. "Of 'course. . Didn't the detective Warn me today *" : Dextry shook his head. "It don't See: like the game is that far along yet. The time is coming when we'll £0 to the mat with them people. but they've got the alge on us now, So what could they gain by putting you away? I don't believe it's them, but whopver it is you'd better be careful or you'll be got." : "Suppose we come howe "together after this," Roy suggested, and they. arranged to do so, realizing that dan ger lurked In the dark corners and that it was In some such lonely spot 'that the deed would be tried again: | experianced no trouble for a time, though on: nearing their cabin one Saw a Shadow glide away from its vi the tundra as though sowse. one had dertook te meet the proprietor of the Northern face to face, but the Kid had vanished completely from his haunts. He was not in his gambling hall at night nor on the street by day. The young man was still looking for him on the evening of the dance at the ho- tel when he chanced to meet.one of the vigilantes, who inquired of him: "Aren't you late for the meeting?'

We are going to de justice, and we thought the simplest way was to ignore you in this matter and spare all discussion and hard feeling In every quarter." "It's a lle," shouted the young man hoarsely, "a damned lie! You wouldn't let me'in for fear I'd kick, eh? Well, you were right. I will kick. You've binted about my feelings for Miss Chester. Let me tell you that she is engaged to marry McNamara and that she's nothing to me. Now, then, let me tell you further that you won't break into her house and hang her un- cle, even If he is a reprobate. No, sir! This isn't the. time for violence of that sort. We'll win without it. If we can't, let's fight like men and net hunt in a pack like wolves.

Something important, I think, 1 supposed, of course, you kiew about ih" "It's strange I wasn't notified," said Roy. "It's probably an oversight. I'll go along with you." Together they crossed the river to the less frequented part of the town and knocked at the door of a large un- lighted warehouse, flanked by a -high board fence. The building faced the street, but was Inclosed on the other three sides by this ten foot wall, inside of which were stored large quantities of coal and lumber. After some delay they were admitted and passing down through the dim lit, high banked lanes of merchandise came to the rear room, where they were admitted again. This compartment had been fitted up for the warm storage of perishable goeds dur- ing the cold weather and, being with- out windows, made an ideal place for clandestine gatherings. Glenister was astonished to find every man of the organization present, including Dextry, whom he supposed to have gone home an hour since. Evi- dently a discussion had been in prog- ress, for a chairman was presiding, and the boxes, kegs and bales of goeds had been shoved back against the walls for seats. On these were ranged the threcscore men of the "Stranglers." their serious faces lighted imperfectly by scattered lanterns. A certain cen- straint seized them upen Glenister's entrance. The chalrman was embar- rassed. It was but momentary, how- ever. Glenister himself felt that treg- edy was in the air, for it showed In the men's attitude and speke eloquently from their strained faces. He was about to question the man next to him when the presiding officer continued: "We will assemble here quietly with our arms at 1 o'cleck. And let me caution you again not to talk or do anything to scare the birds away." Glenister arose. . "I came late, Mr. Chairman, so I missed hearing your pian. 1 gather that you're out for business, however, and I want to be in it. May 1 ask what is on foot?" "Certainly. Things have reached such a pass that moderate means are useless. We have decided to act and act quickly. We bave exhausted every legal resource, and now we're going to stamp out this gang of robbers in our own way. We will get together in an hour, divide into three groups of twen- ty men, each with a leader, then go to the houses of McNamara, Stillman and Voorhees, take them prisoners, and"-- He waved his hand in a large gesture. Glenister made no answer for a mo- ment, While the erowd watched him in- tently. . "You have discussed this fully?" he asked. "We have. It has been voted on, and we're unanimous." " friends, when I stepped into this just now I felt thet I wasn't wanted.© Why, I don't knew, because 1 have had more to do with organizing this movement than any of you and because I have suffered just as much as the rest. 1 want to know if 1 was Smitied from this meeting Intention ally.' tH "This is an embarrassing position to put me in" suid the "vgt I sball 'thiese men if they wish." tion and the tacties of the Mafia!" "We knew you would make that kind of a talk," sald the speaker, while the rest murmured grudgingly. One of them spoke up. T E "We've talked this over in cold blood, Glenister, and it's a question of their lives or our liberty. The law don't enter Into it." "That's right," echoed another at his elbow. "We can't seize the claims, because McNamara's got soldiers to back him up. They'd shoot us down: You ought to be the last one to object." He saw that dispute was futile. De- termination was stamped on their faces too plain for mistake, and his argument had no more effect on them than had the pale rays of the lantern beside him, yet he continued: "l don't deny that McNamara de serves lynching, but Stillman doesn. He's a weak old man"--sounie one faughed derisively--"and there's a woman in the house. He's all she has in the world to depend upon, and you would have to kill her to get at him. If you must follow this course, tuke the others, but leave him alone." They only shook their heads, while several pushed by him even as he spoke. "We're going to distribute our favors equal," said a man as he left They were actuated by what they called justice, and he could not sway them. The Kfé and welfare of the north were Id their hands, as they thought, and there was not one to hesi- tate. Glenister implored the chairman, but the man answer:d him: LIFT OFF CORNS, MAGIC! NO'PAIN Freezone on a Touchy Corn Drop Then Life Corn off With corn, instantly that corn stops hurt- 'guards here to protect me. ttle Freezone on an aching mn ing, then you lift it right out.
