I left a letter for Ann, telling her that I was through for good. | “Ann’s father had to go down to the bank that evening, and we walked as far as the bank together, At the side door of the bank we gaid goodby. Martin went into the bank. I started on toward the de- pot. I had only gone a little way when I suddenly remembered that I had nearly $200 in the bank and 1 wished I had it. You see, Pierre’s meney was not nearly as much as you said we would need “T looked at my watch and saw I had plenty of time, so I hustled back. As I was unlocking the door 1 saw something shining on the sidewalk. I picked it up and it was a8 Masonic watch charm. Of course I knew it was Martin's and I did not even put it in my pocket think- ing that in another minute I would hand it to the old man. | “To him it was a treasured em- blem—a gift from his friends that he always carried with him.

Then bought a ticket to Buffalo—it was just about time for the east- hound. train. “But I didn't go on that train; I struck out on foot across country 14 miles to Wheeler, a town on an- other railroad. I boarded the train the last minute and paid my fare to a junction point where I caught a train to Cleveland. From Cleve- land I went to Denver, and from Denver to Red Butte. “I never knew the cashier was dead until T read the story in the! paper.

The dangers between which he must choose were appalling. An- other touch and the ambitious| bank clerk would become a des- | perate animal ready to kill or be | killed. “Well, what are we going to do?” !he demanded at last. “What would you suggest?” ask- €d Donovan with grim humor. “We've got to go some Dplace where I can lay low until this Or- !chard Hill bank affair blows over.” ] “Exactly. Once your innocent fa- ither-in-law is convicted and hung !you'll be safe, heh?"” “What else can I do?" snarled |Bruce. “It's him or me, ain't it?” | Donovan rose to his feet. “Come on.

Donovan spoke with deadly calm- ness, “What are you going to do?” “I'm going to take this canteen and some provisions and head for Gold Center. You can go along with me or you can go to the devil!” There was menace in Donovan'‘s voice now—deliberate and deadly. “So you would ditch me here in the desert would you? You'd go on with all of the water and your twenty-five thousand and leave me to die? T guess you would at that —it doesn’t seem to bother you much, leaving your wife's father to die for a crime that you com- mitted!” Bruce stooped canteen. “Drop it!” snapped Donovan, and as he spoke his hand went to the gun at his hip. In a spirit of mad bravado Bruce unscrewed the cap of the canteen. “You had the last drink,” he said; ! “it's my turn now.” “Drop it, I tell you!" Donovan's gun was in his hand now.
