Conlev had como home, having been
•eleased front prison after completing
t five year sentence.
A few hours after Ids arrival in town
jo entered a squalid place on the west
side not far from the center of Hell's
Kitchen. Besides the proprietor and a
nan whom the former was ejecting at
:he time, there was only one man in
'he place. lie greeted Con ley's arrival
ivitli a slight show of surprise and
tpoUe to him.
"How arc all the boys Up the Way?"
be asked.
"Hello. Werner!" Conley returned
and related bits of Information con
cerning those whom be liad left In
prison.
"Like to stick In on a Juicy little
lay?" Werner Inquired, lowering bis
voice slightly and glancing about to
see that no one was near them.
"neard of old man Harris, haven't
you?" continued Werner. "He's got
more millions than you aud me could
dream we bad after a dozen shots in
tbo arm. Funny old goat be Is too.
lie's got a bug about punching the
clock Just the same and as prompt as
auy of bis deck hands, which Is some
prompt. If they work for him for auy
time. Also he's got another kink
about working straight on through
July and August, while he lets every
body else in bis shop take from two
weeks to a month off. He sticks it
out without even hesitating till after
the first of the next year, and then
when he gets bis business started on to
another stretch, why. be takes a little
thirty day layoff.
"And does he beat it south then?
Not him—that ain't the old man. He
heads up north to a but lies got
planted up in Maine, and that s right
where he lives in the dead of winter.
He don't have any guide or anybody
else along with him. and he don't
allow anybody else to come anywhere
close to him if be can help it. He
camps there for a month, hunting and
| taking care of what be kills, skinning
it and putting away the meat and
cooking it and all that all by himself,
as 1 said, and never seeing another liv
ing thing besides the animals he's
hunting. Fuun.v Ideas some of these
gazlgs have, ain't the.v?
"Where do we come In?" interposed
Conley.
"We're going to get him at Ins drum
up there and stow him away—put him
in hock, you see. and make liiui pay
himself out—although 1 ain't counting
on sticking him tip for anything so
much as I'm banking on swinging his
wife for. say. five or ten thousand at
the least and maybe as much as tweu
ty-five. Harris' head manager is bis
wife's brother, you see, and 1 think we
can hang 'em for twenty five without
starting either one to putting the cops
out for us. Leave It to uie to make
it plain to 'em that the old man will be
bumped off before anybody can get
to us."
"What's the matter that Harris
won't come across himself wit what
we want, in case we show It up !•> him
that we're going to croak him proper
if he dou't?"
"You don't know Harris." Werner
| answered. "In the first place, we
couldn't make a bluff strong enough
for blm to think we were u<«t bliuilng.
and then even if it had to come to a
showdown, why. 1 doubt :t hod really
think we meant to kill liiui aud lose
our only shot for the money. That's
the kind of uink he Is. \ou know, he's
j tjie stiff that had a sou to get in wrong
some way and get his name in the pa
pers-beat up a guy ami was sent
away for a little bit-and do you think
the old man would eoiue through with
a little fall money that would have
sprung the kid? Nix -not him-and be
won't allow the kid around bis snare
when be eonitw home.
Werner shook his bead, partly in ad
miration.
"That's him. aiul I won IIIu t »*oiiiit
on a tlnlf from blm. n >t just t» get
himself out. where I'd b. t "ii g- ttiug
thousands from bis dame. I've b.'.d all
this framed e\ or since last summer,
and 1 made a special trip up to s out
about the old man's grounds ami the
country around there. One rea. on I in
first hep to this is because I p>t a
fri.-nd of mine named Turner, an old
timer that's done five separate bits and
is living up there and making good
money by getting stuff across the
Canadian line, and we happened to
meet up with each other bwt voir and
Cot to talking about this Harris guy.
Turner knew about him. living no
more than thirty miles away from
there, and we got this idea. Turner
knows places that we could put Harris
,w:.y. and he couldn't be found for a
mil'Ion years." t,
"How niauy you ii<>t in on this.
Conley Inquired. "and who are they?
"Ilcstdes Turner ami me and you
we' I have Collins and (Jeorge."

wero met by Turner and his sleigh.
It was decided that they should
suenk upon the lodge which Harris oc
cupied and make him prisoner while
still In bed. Then they were to take
t'xn away to the place among the hills
that hud been prepared by Turner.
He was to be kept here in case
ho refused to agree to the terms
pffered, while Werner was to return
to the city and have the demands pre
sented to Mrs. Harris and her brother.
Two days later the Ave had gone
from Turner's place to the retreat he
had made In the hills and from there
had advanced upon the little house
Harris himself had built of logs.
They took up their position near a
mass of white covered underbrush,
from which they cowld watch the win
dow not more than twenty yards away,
and prepared to wait until the man
within went to bed.
They could see him from time to
time as he bent over the Are cooking
smoking hunks of meat He ate his
supper with the appetite of a man who
had tramped the entire winter's day
and had earued his food, after which
he lighted his pipe and smoked for
awhile, seated before the fireplace,
with his feet resting upon the low
mantel above his head. Then he
stretched himself luxuriantly, an ex
pression of great enjoyment upon his
hard lilted face, and prepared to roll
into bed.
Several minutes later the party gath
ered about the rear door, discovered
that It was not even bolted, entered a
rude kind of hallway and stopped be
fore Ihe room In which Harris was al
ready asleep, as his heavy breathing
informed them.
"(Set your rods ready now," Werner
whispered, "so you can follow me
wh< u I eare in Ihe door."
He drew back across the narrow
passageway and rushed against the
door with nil of his strength. It broke
open before liitn. and he stumbled Into
the room, tile others following him
Willi their guns drawn.
Har.-ls had started up at Ihe noise
j and made an attempt to reach the cor
ner of the room in which was a small
arsenal, but halted when he saw that
he was covered by four or five men
who wore heavy mufflers over their
faces below the eyes
Harris stood for a moment gazing at
I them.

I dually, betraying no signs of fear,

"How mui-h do you think you're go

j "Well." answered Werner slowly,
i "if you fixed it up yourself so we could
get the coin promptly and without any
sort of trouble, why. out of consldera
I tion for your kindness ntid your show
of judgment we might let you down

1 that's the lowest, because, with just

five."
! "My wife can't sign 11 check for more
j that one thousand at most, and my
I manager isn't allowed to make out one
lor uiore than it takes for current ex
I pensos."
| After a pause, during which Harris
and Werner looked at each other in
' the manner of opponents at poker, the
latter said: "On the dead, now, ain't
the principal reason you don't want to
cough up Just because you'd rather
give up twenty-five thousand willingly
than be made to give up ten?"
.Mr. Harris grunted in a manner that
i might have signified assent.
j "Would you give up twenty-flve
j thousand if you didn't have to come
I across with ten?" languidly inquired
I George.
"Yes." growled the other.

In an instant IlaiTis had jumped
across the room and had armed him

"And now, gov'ner," went on the
younger man, "I'll keep 'em covered
I while you take their gats."
. Mr. Harris finished disarming them
I and turned to George.
i "What're we goiiis to do with 'em?"

walked away.
Then the former turned to the
younger man.
"I promised you the money," he said,
"and if you're willing to work I'll give
you a job. but we'll talk about that in
the morning, because I'm going back
to bed now. You can find some blank

"All right, sir," said the other. "Good
night, dad."
"Good night, son," returned his
father.
