are simply a revelation! You may
smoke them without tiring your taste!
For your own satisfaction you must
compare Camels with any cigarette
in the world at any price. Then,
you’ll best realize their superior
quality and the rare enjoyment
they provide.

“Why—why, how tightly he htjlds tby

silly doctor?”
Barnes unclasped the rigid fingers
of the man called Andrew Paul, and,
shaking his head sadly, drew
away from the Improvised bier,
and the shivering Mr. Dilllngford con-
ducted her to the dining room, where
41 single kerosene lamp gave out a
■feeble, rather ghastly light.
“Would you like a little brandy?"
inquired Barnes, as she sat down limp-
ly In the chair he pulled out for her.
“I have a flask upstairs in my—"

Sit down Mr. Barnes. I’ve got some-

It now, because it may come In pretty

You betcher life I sung out who
I was mighty quick, ’cause pa’s purty
spry with a gun an' I didn't want him
takln' me fer burglars sneaking around
the house. While we wuz talkin' there
one of the houses started our way 1
llckety-split, an’ in about two seconds
it went by us. It was purty dark, but
we st-e plain as day that there was a
man in the saddle, bendin' low over
the boss’ neck and shoutin' to It. We
waited a couple o’ minutes, wonderin’
what to do, au' listenin’ to the hose
gittin’ furder and furder away in the
direction of the cross-roads. Then
'way down there by the pike we heerd
another shot. Right there an' then pa
said he'd put on bls clothes an’ we'd
set out to see what It was all about.
“Well, pa come out with my gun an'
his'n an' we walks up to where I seen
the bosses. Shore ’nough, one of 'em
was still hitched to the fence, an’
t'other was gone. We stood around a
minute or two examinin' the hoss an'
then pa says let’s go up the road a ways
an’ see if we c'n see anything. An’
by gosh, we hadn’t gone moren' fifty
feet afore we come plumb on a man
lay In’ In the middle of the road. Pa
shook him an' he didn’t let out a
sound. He was warm, but deader'n a
tombstone. 1 wus fer leavin’ him there
till we c’d git the coroner, but pa says
no. We'd curry him down to our porch
an' lay him there, ao’S he’d be out o’
danger. I Jumps on Polly an’ lights
out fer here, Mr. Jones, to telephone
up to Saint Lik fer the sheriff an’ the
coroner, not glvln’ a dang what I run
into on the way. Polly shied some-
thin' terrible Jest afore we got to the
pike an’ 1 come denied near bein’
throwed. An’ right there ’side the road
was this feller, all In u heap. Thinks
I. you poor cuss, you must 'a' tried to
stop that feller on hosshuck an’ he
plunked you. That accounted fer the
second shot. The thing that worries all
of us Is did the same man do the
shootln', or was there two of ’em, one
waitin’ down the cross-rouds?’’
"Must have been two," said Jones,
thoughtfully. "The sume man couldn't
have got down there ahead of him,
that’s sure. Did anybody go up to
Green Fancy to make Inquiries?”
" 'Twasn’t necessary. Mr. Curtis
heard the shootln' an' Jest before we
left be sent a man out to see what It
was all about. The old skeexlcks that’s
been drlvln' his cur lately come down
half-dressed. He said nothin’ out of
the way hud happened up at Green
Fancy."

Barnes stared. “Whnt do
meiin?" he demanded sharply.
“I mean Just whut I said. What do
you know about this business?”
"How should I know anything about
It?"
“Well, we don’t know who you are,
nor whnt you're doing up here, nor
what your real profession is. That's
why I ask the question."
“I see,” said Barnes, after a mo-
ment. He grasped the situation and
he admitted to himself thnt Jones had
cuuse for his suspicions. “It hus oc-
curred to you that I may be u detec-
tive or a secret service man, Isn’t that
the ease? Well, I am neither. Did
you know any more about these two
men, Mr. Jones, than you know about
me?"
"I don’t know anything about 'em."
“What was their business?”
"Mr. Roon was lookin' for a place
to bring his daughter who has con-
sumption. He didn’t want to take her
to a reg’lar consumptive community,
ne said, an so ne was lookin' for a
quiet place where she wouldn't be as-
sociatin' with lungers all the time.
That was his business, Mr. Barnes, an’
I guess you’d cull it respectable,
wouldn't you?”
“Perfectly. But why should he be
troubled by my presence here If—”
Miss Thackeray put an end to the
discussion in a most effectual manner.
“Oh, for the Lord's sake, cut It out!
Wait till he’s dead, can’t you?” she
whispered fiercely. "You’ve got all the
time in the world to talk, and he
hasn't more than ten minutes left to

It down. Then he would look again,
turning the glasses thia way and that.
Suddenly my eyes almoet popped out
of my head. - Paul had gone away
from the window. He came back and
he had a couple of revolvers in his
hands. They stood there for a few
minutes carefully examining the
weapons and reloading them with
fresh cartridges. Just as I was about
to start down to the house—it was a
little after six o'clock, and getting
awfully dark and overcast—Roon took
up the glasses again. He seemed to
he excited and called his companion.
Pflul grabbed the glasses and looked
down the road. They both became
very much excited, pointing and ges-
ticulating, and taking turn about with
the glasses."
“About six o’clock, you say?” said
Barnes, greatly Interested.
"It was a quarter after six when I
got back to the house. I spoke to Mr.
Bacon about what I'd seen and he said
ha believed they were German spies,
up to some kind of mischief along the
Canadian border. Then about half an
hour later you came to the tavern. I
saw Roon sneak out to the head of the
stairs and listen to your conversation
with Jones when you registered. That
gave me an Idea. It was you they
were watching the road for.”
