Two evenings later Cresswell, with anxious eyes, looked up at me window of the second story room over his cf- I f!CI All TtlflVAr (rtl-Ofit tlio motn Hint. oughfare of Brentwood. It was after 10. but all was darkness there, and I.angdon's Invariable rule was to re turn at once from drill and go early to bed, for, winter or summer, he was an early riser. The clerk and assistant who formerly occupied those humble quarters had married, moved west to the hills and thrown out his own shin gle,, and Langdon thankfully had mov fd in. The .street was still alive with people, but the lights in the ri3es' ar mory, two blocks away, had been ex tinguished before the stroke cf 10 at the city hall. In his hand Cress-well held a crumpled half sheet of note pa per that had reached him through the mail. It contained only the words: "Your man laughs at warning and de fies the people. If he hasn't left this town by midnight, he 11 never get a chance again." By midnight, and it was now after 10! Only that morning in reminding Langdon that the chief of police had not only issued permission, but advised him, to go armed Cresswell had asked him if more warnings had reached him. and the new first sergeant took from his breast pocket a little note. It was a woman's hand that penned this note. "For God's sake don't disregard this. You do not know what minute may be your last if you insist on stay- Tlicy knocked and liatmncrcd )or tiro minutes without rcsponne. Ing here. These men are desperate."

"It Isn't among the slums alone you have enemies, Langdon." said Cress well. "The bitterest foes a man ls to guard against are those who have dene him injury, and the men I'm after are those who put up that safe robbery and gained your discharge. Oh, for an hour of C ha nnin-g!" But that was vain. Channing. he who commanded the respect and confidence of the yards and shops of the Big Horn, was sauntering discontentedly in the Riviera, doing as his doctors bade, utterly homesick, ut- terly unable to appreciate cr under stand what he saw and only wtshing himself back in the cab of a Haldwin, whirling "the limited" over the prairie CO- miles an hour. Channing knew ev ery mother's sou iu yards by name. The the Brentwood new incumbent ' j knew not one of them. Channing i argued. Burleigh bullied, ami clash ; was inevitable. The niniia-rciucnt of ' j both roads bad announced In unequivo- : table terms that they would not' yield ! to the demands of the men. The may- ! or of Brentwood was sorely frighten- : ed. The governor had been requested to order troops to the scene and over- , avye the "would be strikers and very properly refused. For it is cur good American policy in dealing with ene mies or insurgents, white, red or I brown, mobs, Indians or Taalons. iipv- er to show light until practically forc ed into it. The railway companies in anticipation of the strike bad gathered souie hundreds of workmen across the Missouri ready to be rushed by siceial train to Brentwood, but neither the' po lice, posses nor militia had been mobi lized. Pondering anxiously orvr the .tua tlon, Cresswell was walking slowly homeward up Thayer street. lie had been talking with the mayor and certain-city favbers at the Brentwood and now wished to see Langdon. but Bang don evidently wasn't home, and the town clock had struck the quarter. The office door was closed and doubtless locked, and Cress well's keys were in bin workaday pockets at tlie house. Confident of meeting Langdon.. he strolled on toward the armory and be came suddenly aware of tlie division superintendent of the Big Horn talk ing with two of the boys. Cresswell didn't like tha't official, but for reasons of his own preferred to make much of him. fie stopped and beld out his hund. "Oh, good evening. Sir. cr ah Colo nel Cresswell." stammered the railway tnan In some confusion. "I didn't see you I'm glad to see you. Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Lamrdou? 1've knocked and hammered at tlie of fice, and thuse gentlemen say that he .went straight home half an hour ago." "It is true," said one of the youu? soldiers. "I saw him go i-n there Just before 10 o'clock." "Odd!" said Cresswell. "Suppose we walk over. Mr. Superintendent." They did, and they knocked and hammered for two minutes without response, and then Cresswell bethought him of the rear door. "You wish to see him personally V" queried he of the official, with doubt in his tone. "Yes. The road sent me an impor tant message. 1 may as well tell you confidentially, of ecurse.- They want him to go to that meeting that's in full I blast at this minute. They think the men will listen to .him." "I sec." said Cresswell, with sarcastic emphasis. "Having kicked him out in to the cold for another man's crime, they want him to help them out of an other scrape. You must feel gratified at being the bearer of such a message. However, come on. We'll try the back." An alley parallel with Thayer street divided the block, and Cresswell's of fice buildings covered about half the lot. Wood, coal and ice were delivered by way of that alley, which accounted for the worn pa Hi to the open cellar way, but not for the footprints in the snow on the steps leading up to the back door. Cresswell -tried the knob, and the door was fast. But who left the cellar steps uncovered? "Have you a gun?" he asked, aud the superintend ent faltered, "Yes." Gripping his own revolver, a faith ful friend of Kentucky days. Cresswell cautiously descended the steps and felt his way through the dampness and dark. Hediad no match, and lighting would only reveal him to prowlers if there were any. He knew the prem ises thoroughly and quickly reached the lower hall aud the stirway to the ground floor above him. It was dark I as Erebus, aud he, breathing heavily. felt his way up the creaking flight 'un til within reach of the top. Then something fell with stunning force and j danced before his eyes, and he went j crashing back the way he came, bound I ing, rolling and sliding till he brought ' up senseless and bleeding at the foot of the stairs. CHAPTER XIII. Noon of Oct. 28 struck on the deep toned bell cf the city hall, Rrent wood's pride, and sharp at the sound every hand in tlie railway Shops, sheds and yards followed suit and went out. did the tires iu the furnaces in So the course of the night, for no man suc ceeded in getting in to replenish them So did not the trains, freight or passen ger, on either Big Horn or Seattle, for the rails were a lather of soap, the boil ers a reek of foam. The casualty list in the motive power showed 23 en gines "killed," and the only wheels to revolve east or west were those trun dling the United States mail, the oper atives, with calm sagacity, offering no objection to the running of postal cars, yet firmly opposing everything else. Following the traditions of the Big Horn, the new general inauagec ap peared promptly on ;he scene, while he of the Seattle sniffed the battle from j afar and staid there. Mr. Furicigh j r-aa-.e to threaten aud command, was 1 Diomstiv hoisted aboard a baae car the meeting which he es- saved to do. tlie car speedily gliding j away with him to the accompaniment 1 of much derision and many decided cat- calls, not to mention a few defunct quadrupeds and doubtful eggs. Mr Burleigh -was given a sample of the running qualities of the fust mail down the winding gorge of the Red Water and sjH'nt the night in blasphemy and bitterness of spirit at (Junnison. Not even a farmer's buckbeard could he iind to take him back. lie wired for the trainloads of substitutes across the j Big Muddy, and they were ditched ten ; miles from any town and had to build j bonilres out of the wreck until that ' was used up and then kept warm with ; a few miles of snow fence that unae ! countably went up in flames. The Se ! at tie sent CO I'inkertous on a special and thereby precipitated a sympathetic strike across the Missouri and the spe cial into the shallows near the eastern shore well up to the I'inkertous' mid dle. When tiually rescued, these ama teurs were roosting on car roofs, cold, wet and bediaggled. an object of char ity to the countryside. Then came the order for troops, long withheld, and before it was issued the Brentwood ri fles knew there would be no first ser- geant to call the roll. Somewhere about midnight cf the 27th, dazed and bleeding. Colonel Cressweii had stag gered into the street in front of his of fice, feebly calling for help. The po lice found a pool of blood at the foot of the cellar stairs and splashes all along from near the top, but not a sign of struggle elsewhere and not a trace of Eric Langdon. Along towarJ morning Cresswell managed to tell his story. and then the police went and routed j out the division BuperiMendetit, who told a queer tale. When the doctors heard It. they looked oddly at each oth er and agreed that it were best that Cresswell shouldn't hear it until he was stronger. It might unduly excite him now. Cresswell said he left the superintendent. Mr. Rett a. on guard at the cellar stairway in the back yard, revolver in hand, and that he should have seen his (Cressweli'st assailants when they made their escape at the rear, the only way they could nave gone. The superintendent said he had met Mr. Cresswell casually 0:1 the street, inquired for Mr. Ijingdon and went with Cresswell to the o!!ice to find him. They knocked until they be lieved that Langdon couldn't be there, aud he (the superintendent) desired to search elsewhere, but Cresswell was somewhat persistent that Betts should wait while he went round and tried i the back way. Betts went just to ! oblige the colonel; "didn't like to of fend him." Tlie fact was he noticed that the colonel had boon driuking a little, and at such times, as was well known, the Kentuckian was apt to be a. bit dictatorial and to take offwisa rather easily. Belts said he knew the colonel had been at the bar of the Brentwood that evening, and after waiting a few minutes just to ussure himself the colonel was safely within he hurrivd away about his own busi ness. Had he heard no sound of fall or struggle? was asked. Not a sound cf that kind. He had heard some one moving about In the hall and thought, of course. It was the colonel. In fact, sotto voce, he added he thought' so still and that under the circumstances the colonel might later have missed Lis footing and fallen headlong. It could not be conceived possible- that Mr. Langdon would brutally assault his friend and benefactor. Now, Cresswell had taken three cr four nips of his favorite beverage th::'. I evening, but Boniface swore he was 1 perfectly himself when he left the Brentwood. That might 1k, said the shrewd and somewhat envious lawyer employed by the Big Horn as couusil. and yet might he be "under alien influ ences." Cue of two theories, said the railroad lawyer, could bo derived from the facts, and only two. Mr. Cresswell had fallen down stairs under the inllu euce of one of -two forces. Bourbon or a blow. If a blow, who gave it but Eric Langdon? No one else was known to have entered those doors that night. In all the tense, pent up excitement at tending the inevitable strike this inci dent was discussed with bated breath. Men who knew Cresswell and saw him that night knew he was not so far gone in liquor as to fall down stairs and therefore believed the story cf assault. Men who knew Langdon swore he was incapable $f assaulting Cresswell. What could possibly be his motive? I The safe stood securely locked. Desk and drawers were intact. There were I no reasons why Langdon should go ex- cept the threats, which he held in cou 1 tempt, and every reason why he should J stay. The railway lawyer hinted at re- newal of proceedings by I'err'.go's bank ; to recover certain sums with interest. ; The bank, however, being questioned, i reluctantly testified that that incident j was closed, satisfactory set: lenient l av ing been made, and so it bad in Lang 1 don's behalf by the big hearted Ken tuckian and his friend the mayor. No; nothing but threats against Langdou's life could be heard of a a cause of Langdou's disappearance, nothing whatever until the second day of the strike, when two people appeared who said that if guaranteed proiccticii t Lr y i would tell something. Tho som proved to be that an cpen two wagon drove Into the alley just horse i;i I 10 o'clock and drove out again about 10:40. when it bad two more men iu 11 who were lieniliii" over somfthiUZ ill the bottom. These two jumped out when it reached the street. They went one way. the wagon the other. Then uprose the solid men of Brentwood save the few whose souls were mort gaged to the Sea: tie or whose notes were falling due at I'errigc's. and at a meeting held just after dark the first cheek was given to t'ae widespreading sympathy felt for the strikers tbrcugh- out the ccn;; merit they !; before theai. itmity. to tins mo- d practically carried ah Froiici'ty had been c:.ro- fully guanied by the details- fi'oirt tl: owu nutnber.

Their grievance was Bront- wood's and their oppressors the rival railways. Violence of any kind, said the strike leaders, would be tolerated only as a last resort. Yet here was ev- idence that even In-fore beginning the ' strike assault, abduction, possibly r.mr ! der. could be laid at the strikers' doors. I Cresswell still lay in grievous plight, and Brie Langdon could not be found, j Then evidence began to accumulate. A jtwo horse farm wagon, such as de i scribed, was seen by other citizens ! driving westward toward the open I prairie. A farmer came in and said that such a wagon stopped at the-ford close to his place about midnight. His wife woke l.-ini. saying there was some thing wrong down at the barn the horses were stamping and snorting. lie hurried thither and found every thing secure, but could have sworn he saw a light danc'mg away from the barn in the direction of the ford ais he issued from the house. Curiosity there fore led biin to investigate, and surely enough he heard voices. Two men were talking in low tones. Cue of their horses had picked up a stone, and. so tightly was it wedged, they couldn't get it out. fie gathered that one of them had been to the barn in hopes of ! finding a pick. The farmer was on the ; point of hailing them when the whistle : of -the night freight sounded away ; down the valley toward Brentwood. ! and he heard one of then; say, "My God, there's No. S now. r.:id we can't j flag her this side of the bridge!" then, apparently speaking to some cre with ' in the wagon, continued: "Now. lie still if you value your life! Jump in. Jim. quick!" A ml with that the horses ft run. and they clatter : pike in the darkness, it-, s later he heard the Were lashed to 1 away u; th About ten si.hi treigt,! n;.;;L ami ..ai'tr-r it hea; n g dtst cam-,' the si: iii;; aiuLg up the valley, had almost go beyond icy to the west there it. quick single whistle. the s been for brakes. That must have somewhere about th iotig bridge at the big bend. That was something, unusual, and. coupled with what he heard the men say, it excited his suspi cion. Then when his copy of The Ban ner told him alnit Langdou's disap pearance he felt sure what it all meant and therefore came iu to Brentwood to tell his tale. Aud it was this that brought confusion to Betts aud the Brentwood strikers, for it was now evi- i dent that Langdcn had been spirited j away. That foul means aud force had been resorted to no one wbo knew lingdon could doubt. That railway men were the perpetrators the words overheard by Banner Han ley gavv presumptive evidence and that the abducted man was sorely needed developed in the course of that very night. Observant of his counsel, the rilles at the first iutinit'ou of another strike had kept a guard at the- armory, and this guard v.a:; increased fo a lieuten ant and -0 men at noon. 0:1 the 2ISth. Moreover, it was made up of men who Wnuld light, and the scouts of the Ft risers sent to rcconnolter and report on the feasibility of again seizing the arms ami equipments returned and "reported adversely." Two days later. I determined to wipe out the stain of j their military misadventure the previ j ous year, fully members promptly I assembled at ti e call and awaited or- ders at the armory, and stiil. barring j the banishment of Mr. Burleigh it: one ! direction and the presumable taking of' i of .Langdon in the other, no deed of damage. 01: violence had been charge:', to the strike, 'i'be sheriff had eagerly accepted the theory that Langdon him self was Cresswell's assailant and had fled to escape consequences. This "made him solid" with the strikers and warranted a certain inaction. But now the business men had taken matters in hand. Thv Banner "ripped him up the back," as his friends expressed it. and the governor himself was on his way to Brentwood, coining up from the cap- ital by a cross country spur of the Union Pacific, and matters were near- Ing a climax. The Grays were at Ihe station at Gunnison waiting for the trooo train with Maior McConville iroop 11 dm, won .U..J01 .no uui .111 ., .,, fP cniiti-n:ic4 feidin" its can- anH foui comp.inits. iitiin,, ,ls ' "" tious way over culver and trestle frour ., ... . , lt ., f . , , the Missouri.

The mayor said yes. The men thundered no, and Brentwood held its breath and waited. Meantime tlie orders for the lilies were to sleep on their arms at their quartern. It was the policy of wisdom. At:l now, "If no new complications arise." said the mayor, "we can hope for a quiet night, but it's the calm be fore the storm. I wonder if that train's in with the re-eiifoiceinent from up the road?" "I'll telephone and ark." said Ro:ii face, leading the way to tlie rotunda. It was tilled wi h me:!, talking in low, cautious tones, glancing nervously about from !-,. -,p to .croup. .

Pirates of the plains were these fel lows, reckless and outlawed, and r.cnv than one hideous outbreak of the Simix had been traced to their nefariou.; deeds. Whisky was their stock in trade, and many an untutored savage in exchange for a bottle had purled with robes. riSe and pony as well as his senses. Conflict was frequent. Troops were few.
