"Hands off!" he snouted, quieting a
little when he saw the useles>ness of

kill him'"
"No. you won't'" cried Merrick.
'I've got charge of this man. Murga-
troyd, and there'll be no gun-play.
Take the weapon away from him.

The weapon was wrenched from
Murgatroyd's clutch.
"Is that you. Merrick?" asked Mur-
gatroyd. ceasing all attempts to get
away and brushing a hand across his
jyea.
"Uig as life, answered the marshal.
"How is it that you and all these
>thers are here?"
"We heard the row and rushed up
see what was going on."
"You came in time. Merrick, Nate
Darrel wasn't killed by that explo-
tlon!"
"Hey?"
"1 say." declared Muruatroyd. "that
Nate Darrel wasn't killed by that ex-
plosion on the War Eagle trail. Take

Iropped hack in his chair.
CHAPTER XVIII.
DARKEI.S DOUBI.K.
A bomb, suddenly exploded in the
nidst of those in the office, could not
lave caused greater consternation than
he furious words of Murgatroyd. The
;ase had been proved against Murga-
troyd, then shifted to McCloud. and
now McCloud was said to be Darrel
nd Darrel was known to be innc
?ent.
Merrick, as soon as he had recovered
himself a little, gave vent to a hollow
?roan. lanyard stared at Darrel like
>ne in a trance
"Gentlemen." said Darrel. who was
'he first to speak, "if Mr. Merrick will
put the Irons on Murgatroyd, we will
nake him prove what he says "
Merrick would not leave Darrel's
side, but tossed the hand-tiffs to Glenn
"Snap 'em onto him. Glenn," said
•le. "111 stay right here until we can
get head and tail to this Chinese puz-
zle Different things have beeu hap-
pening so quick that I'm blameu if I
know whether I'm afoot or horseback.
Mehby Sturgis wasn't killed at all. and
it he was. here's Doc and me left yet
I'm expecting some one to blow in and
prove thai we did it."
In some trepidation Jim Glenn
snapped the bracelets about hia em-
ployer's wrists Murgatroyd was then
seated near the light and Merrick
|?anded one of his revolvers to l^en
*rd.
"Get close to him." said the raar-
tal. and If he makes a move to bolt.
loot him."

. royd," said he "How can you prove

about all outdoors.
"It's a pretty hard row of stumps
for this man Darrel. but he walks from
the powder explosion right into an
old shanty where there's a dead man
—a complete stranger, mind you, but
Itiokln' enough like that same Darrel
to be the other half of a twin combina-
tion. Not only is Darrel's double in
the shanty, but they's letters to show
who he is. and shaving things for Dar-
rel to tlx himself up with, and clothes
for him to wear, and a cayuse for him
to ride. The whole lay-out eoiildn I
have been made lo order any better,
could it, now? It was altogether too
neat, and things don't happen that
way."
"Don't you think I'm Nate Darrel""
asked Darrel.
"If you are." and the marshal
snapped his lean jawaj "it's dollars to
dimes you never found jio dead man in
no shanty."
"Then, how did I get this outfit?"
"How, you say? Why, pilgrim, it's
Just possible you bushwhacked the
stranger aa he was coming along the
trail, laid him out for reasons speci-
fied and which anyone can understand."
Payton had been examining the
ebony-handled revolver taken from
Murgatroyd. Seemingly he paid lit-
tle attention to the Hue of argument
pursued by Merrick.
"I didn't expect to find it so." said
the doctor, "but the bullets in this gun

He took a half-step towards Darrel.

"Watch your man. lanyard." mid
he marshal gruffly
• Keep back. Ro>. said Dr Paytoa.
•This man may be McCloud. after all
The testimony of ihe ring Is not suffl-
•lent. It may have been stolen
"Then." said Darrel calmly, let me
shield McCloud's reputation to the ex-
tent of saving the ring was no' stolen.
It is. perhaps, the only ring of its kind
In the ('Sited States, and it has not
been out of my possession during the
last six years."
"Then you are Nnto Darrel" as.ied
Lenyard huskily.
"Yea."
This avowal sent Hie marshal off ou
another tack.
• Sure he says he's Darrel. Whv
not? As McCloud lie standi* convicted
of the murder of Sturgis. Cnder those
tircumstancee most anyone would
rather be Darrel than McCloud.
We'll have to have better proof than
he ring. Murgatroyd knows the ring,
tnd Lenyard seems to, hut the belaiu
if us don't."
"Supposing you are Darrel," said
>a> ton "why did you assume thai dla-
5Ulse?"
"It was convenient.' answered Dar-
el; "and besides directly after that
•xploslon. it was hardly safe for me to
(o snywhere aa my true self."
How did you escape the giant pow
Jer?"
Darrel eased their mlnCs In this re-
•p*ct.
"Jupiter!" mutteretl the marshal,
wagging his head. "That's too mlrac-
lous to be true."
•Now tell us how you cam* to pose
as McCloud," aald Payton.
Darrel did so. at length and on hi*
auditors the wonder grew The mar-
ahal wai derisive In hla unbelief
"Ni>w. look." said he expatiating
"Hers powder explosion, mr
of which Mr. Man there, la waked by

are marked." He turned to the mar-
shal. "How would that man know
about the marked bullets. Merrick, un-
less he was Darrel. and did the mark-
ing himself?"
Merrick squirmed uneasily. Murga-
troyd, suddenly brought back to his
own situation, paled a little and shook
his manacled hands.
What's this for?" he asked. What
have I done to be treated like this?"
"You paid Jim Glenn |100 to keep
away front the coroner's Jury when his
testimony would have proved Nate
Darrel's innocence."
This from the doctor, with a hard
look.
"Does Glenn say thBt ?" stormed Mur-
gatroyd. his snapping black eyes on
his clerk.
Glenn raised a trembling hand to his
torehead and began to whimper out an
excuse.
"tt"« false." cried Murgatroyd. "and
>ou know it s false. Sturgis was a
friend of mine—why, he dealt faro for
me in Hawkbill's!"
Lenyard caught Glenn's eye and
nodded towards the hall. The geaturo
was understood and the clerk left the
mom with alacrity.
if we can prove Glenn's story,
said Lanyard, "we make it plain thai
Darr«l did not shoo! Sturgis."
And if you can prove this man's
etory." put In the doctor, nodding at
Darrel "you make It plain that he is
oi McCloud and. therefore, an inoo-
ent and Injured man."
"I think we can do so," returned
lanyard briefly.
A silent anticipation of some mo-
.oentous event fell over the group in
ihe office. heightened by the gradual
pproach along the hall of shuffling
nalnfui st pa. Then the atroke fell and
brought every man up. standing.
Glenn came In supporting a droop-
ing. disheveled form—a piteous specta-
cle. truly, unshaven, unkempt, ragged
Mild dust-covered. With his month's
growth of beard, the tottering man re-
x em bled Darrel. and Darrein clothing
heightened the deception. Hut the
bearded cheeks were hollow and the
eyes bloodshot
A chair'" said Glenn for the form
had pitched forward as though about
to fall. The clerk held the swaying
man while Darrel pushed a chair for-
ward and helped with strange gentle-
ness. to lower the man easily into the
thought he waa you. and took him to
bis own lodgings aud made him a&
comfortable as possible, then came to
me. knowing I was about the only
friend Nate Darrel bad in the camp.
"We could g£t nothing out of Mc-
Cloud and I also thought he was your-
self. Your arrival on the Anaconda
stage--you. whom 1 thought to be Mc-
Cloud—all but carried me off my feet.
1 followed you covertly and arranged
for Dr. Payton and the marshal to
wait In fron' of (Caliper's after yon
and Murgatroyd had come up here.
"Glenn had told me—spurred to re-
morse at sight of the man we thought
to be you—of his diacoveriea here on
the night of the murder. It was our
intention to confront you and Murga-
troyd with Darrel and do what wo
could to get the whole truth. God
knows. Darrel, how much this moment
means to me."
A mist was in the young man's eye*.
He averted hla face and would have
withdrawn his hand's bad not Darrel
•lung to them.
"And I know, for the first time." re-
urned Darrel with feeling, "the worth
of a true friendship."
He shook the young man's hands
anil released them. Turning to the
doctor and the marshal he added:
Gentlemen, you have doubted my
words—"
Confine that remark to Merrick.",
broke In the doctor; "I was more than
half convinced all the time."
"Thank you." said Darrel. "There
is an opportunity, now, to prove every-
thing I have said. As to the explo-
sion on the War Eagle trail, the mere
fact that 1 am here is evidence that
that part of it is true."
Darrel sat down and all eyes were
fixed on McCloud. Murgatroyd leaned
limply back In his chair and gazed va-
cantly at the celling.
Merrick paid little attention to Dar-
rel. Passing over to McCloud he
raised his head and endeavored ta
press a flask of liquor to his Hps.
With sudden strength, JdeCloud
puahed the flash aslda.
"I don't want thai." he said huskily.
"Whisky and cards have beet, the rulr
of me whisky, and cards und—and
Murgatroyd."
Murgatroyd dropped his eyes front
the ceiling and fixed them on McCloud
with a sneering smile.
"Keep your devilish looks off ol
roe!" muttered McCloud. in a passion.
"Take that man away." he went on.
addressing the others, his voice quiver-
ing with excitement.
Murgatroyd was not taken away but
I'ayton drew his chair in front if him.
"You say that you are Junius Mc-
Cloud?" said the doctcr.
"Yes."
"Do you know Jack Sturgis?"
"No."
"You know he was murdered?"
"It's that that has haunted me and
mad* life a hell for the last month,"
was the sighing, helpless response.
"You were in these rooms on the
night the murder was committed?"
i was In that private room, there,
with Murgatroyd. the night Sturgis
was shot." He fluttered one hand
toward the other apartment.
"Are you willing to tell us every-
thing. here and now. Mr. McCloud. or
would you like to '"insult a lawyar
first ?"
•'I want no lawyers," said McCloud.
decisively. and if everything Is not
told now it may never be."
Get pen and paper. Lenyard." said
Merrick, "and sit. at the desk."
That's right," said Payton. "Take
down everything. Roy.'
In a few moments Lenyard waa
ready and had Jotted down the sub-
stance of what had already been said.
"You were talking with Murgatroyd,
you say. Mr. McCloud?" resumed Dr.
Payton.
"Yes.'
"You came here by appointment?"
"I was In Sandy Bar and Murga-
troyd sent for me; told the stage driv-
er to tell me that I was to eome here
at once."
"What was Murgatroyd doing when
you enlered the room?"
"Walking up and down like a caged
animal. He had a letter In his hand.
"Did he tell you anything about the
letter?'
"He read it to me. It was from
Nate Darrel and said that he—Darrel—
was in town awaiting Murgatroyd's
pleasure, aud could be found at Hawk-
blll'a."
McCloud seemed to gather strength
as h* proceeded. Excitement win
buoying him up for the ordeal.
"You knew there was a feud be-
tween Murgatroyd and Darrel?"
"Murgatroyd told me. He said that
Darrel was In Sandy Bar and must not
get out of the camp alive. He said
that I wax to help him put Darrel out
of the way "

Natural depravity oi 'lie youthful

girls entered the shop in Indlsn flit?
and made a beeline for the candy
counter in the rear. Their laces wore
in expression of injur d innocence.

"Well, what do you want now?"
the old woman who was proprietor of
the place inquired.
"Oh." said the eldest girl, barely
seven years old. Jerking her elbow ex-
pressively in the direi tiou of one of
her small companions, she gave you
a nickel instead of a cent." The old
woman went behind the counter and
took out a tin box containing a num-
ber of coppers She peered into the
box, she shook it, to make sure there
was no nickel lurking among the other
coins, and then held it under the
noses of the little firls. exclaiming
sharply: "There, uow! l>o you see any
nickel there?"
Without replying the girls filed out
of the shop, each face clouded by an
expression of hopeless disappoint-
ment.
"You wouldn't believe it," said the
old woman, bitterly. "I wouldn't be-
lieve ii myself If 1 didn't stand here

The deceits of children are almost
enough to drive me crazy They look
you right in the face with angel eyes
and lie to you as easily as if theu
tongues were oiled. Many a penny I
lost because I could not believe that
mere babes were trying to swindle me.
When I catch them at it they run oul
just as those girls did without saying
anything. That does not keep them
from coming back here again, though.
"The boys around here are Just as
bad as the girls. Half a dozen boys
were in here getting candy one day.
and they had got their candy and
hadn't paid for it, when a boy stuck
his head in the door and shouted:
Say. missus, your sign has tumbled
down!' His eyes bulged out as if he
was scared, and my heart gave such a
Jump that I could scarcely get out to
the sidewalk. The algn was all right.
The boys left the store by a rear door
while I was looking for the boy. Af-
terwards they declared that they paid
for the candy when they got It. It Is
dreadful to think what men and wom-
en these boys and girls will be when
they grow up."
