Bignal‘s shouts for help had brought a whole pack of his jackals. and they were already on the trail. It was no use making straight out into the country. The rain had almost ceased and stars were showing. Some of the men were bound to see him and ride him down. If he only had a horse, but he hadn‘t a notion where to find one. He whirled to the right, round the back of the warehouse, but one of his pursuers sn»notted him. one. He whirled to the right, round the back of the warehouse, but one of his pursuers spotted him. ‘"There he goes! Up the cross alley. Some 0o‘ you go round the other way. Then we got him. He‘s the chap as has killed the Sheriff." They were all shouting at onse, and at any rate Jim was warned. Not that this did him much good. It seemed to him that he was properly trapped. A man reached the entrance to the alley, unlimbered his gun and began "Who are you?" demanded the latâ€" ter, and Jim instantly realized that this was Bignal. HMe couldn‘t hit a man so much older than himself, he simply kicked one leg from under him and sent him sprawling in the mud. It was a mistake. The moment he had done it he knew it was a mistake, for Bigâ€" nal started yelling blue murder, and instantly there was a rusn of feet along the side wall. Jim took to his heels and went straight down the alley. There was nowhere else to go. blazing away. A foolish move on his part, for he could not see Jim while he, the shooter, was plainly outlined against the light that leaked from Bigâ€" ral‘s house opposite. Jim, close against the wall of the warehouse, rapped an answering shot. With a yell of pain his rash antagonist dropped his revolâ€" ver and staggered back. "Look out!" he bellowed. "He‘ve shot me. Keep back there he he‘ll fill you all with lead." "Cut round behind," came another voice. "You, Saul and you Hayman." Jim decided to take a chance and started back the way he had come. They couldn‘t see him, for there was no light in the alley. It turned out as he had hoped. No one was guarding the entrance to the alley. He darted across and ran along behind the fence of Bignal‘s yard. For. a moment he thought he had tricked them, but two flashes of flame and heavy reports undeceived him. Bullets sang a spiteful song as Jim, keeping close under the fance, gave a ssod imitation of a hare with a pack of harriers at his heels He had not He saw another opening to his lefi; but it was no use turning up it. That would take him back into the main street. Beyond was a low, flatâ€"roofed shed and Jim saw a possible refuge. He jimped for it, caught the gutter, drasged himself up by sheer muscle power, flung himself flat and lay, pantâ€" ing, as the hunt steamed by below. It was only a respite. He knew that. He fet, too, he ought to be doing someâ€" thing but just what he could not deâ€" Clde. If he only knew where to find a horsst In the whole situation there was only one grain of comfort. Joan was sale, Two men came back close beneath the shed. They were talking angrily, ; "Dart the feller! He‘s gone!" grow!â€" ed one. "RBignal will raise hades when he hears we missed him." ain‘t Bignal I‘m worrying about," returned the other. "It‘s Lopez." "Where did the sucker come from?" asked the first.

Likely the same chap as nigh broke Farne‘s Jaw las: nighi." snowclad Canadian Rockie information from any ticket agent by "Sweet creatures," muttered Jim as he watched them pass. They had not gone twenty paces when two other men me: them. "Where do you think you‘re going?" came a clearâ€"cut voice which Jim irstantly recognized as that of Lopez. Pesring over he could see the man vaguely and a second with him. "We‘re hunting ‘the chap as tackled Bignal a while back," was the answer. "You‘re working right hard," said Lopez with grating sarcasm. "We been running all round th> town," remonstrated the other. ‘""Running the wrong way," sneered Lopez. "If some of you don‘t find him pretty soon it‘s likely you‘ll be sorry, and what‘s the good of working in the dark? ~Get some lanterns." His voice snapped with such ferocity that those two bad men fairly ran. Lopez came on. "T‘@d burn him myself," was th vicious reply, ‘"giving us all thi trouble." "It‘s Andrews," he said to his comâ€" panion, "the same who stopped Bud Condon‘s horse. I haven‘t a doubt of it. We must get him, Shadley,. We must get him before he does more misâ€" chief." "He couldn‘t have got far," said Shadâ€" ley. "He‘s got no horse." "Unless he had one tied out. But my own impression is that he gave the Chandler girl his horse." He chuckled harshly. "Farne will be pleased when he hears Joan has gone." "But what would Andrews come back for?" questioned the man called Shadâ€" ley. "You‘d think he‘d have gone with for?" questioned the man called Shadâ€" ley. "You‘d think he‘d have gone with the girl." "I don‘t know," said Lopez shortly. "He had some object. Make no misâ€" take about that. This fellow has more brains than most. I‘d say he was an brains than most. Td say he was an educated man." Educated! So, too, was Lopez, Jim thouglht, and that was what made him so dargerous. He fingered his pistol and knew that the best thing he could possible do was to put a bullet through Lopez‘s head: Were their positions reâ€" versed Lopez would have had no hesiâ€" tation whatever in shooting down Jim, but Jim unfortunately could not bring himself to that sort of coldâ€"decking. Lopez and his companion had stopâ€" ped in the mouth of the alleg way and Lopez spoke again. ‘I have a hunch the fellow isn‘t far from her. He has too much sense to go running around and exhausting himself. The odds are he‘s hiding somewhere. He might even be in Bigâ€" nal‘s house." "Gosh, ‘he wouldn‘t go there," reâ€" turned Shadley. "But I tell you where hs might be. That‘s up on a roof somewhere." "That‘s a notion," said Lopez. "Quite a notion." He lowered his voice. "He might even be on this rcof. There‘s a stable ‘behind. He could have gone over the roof into that. Give a leg un. Shadley." "You be careful." said Shadley. "He‘s a shooting sonâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"gun." Jim flattened himself against the roof and lay listening. All he hoped was that Lopez‘s head would appear within arm‘s length of him. The men moved a few steps and Jim, though he could not sse,. could hear. He crawled in the same direction and lay crouched and waiting. "This‘ll do," came Shadley‘s volcs. "Step on my shoulders. Up you go!" There was just light enough for Jim to see a pair of hands hooked over the gutter, then the head of Lopez rose into view. For an instant Lopez‘s eyes starâ€" ed into those of Jim, and Jim saw the lock of amazement in them. At the same moment Lopez‘s lips parted, but whatever sound he was going to make was never uttered, for down swept Jim‘s right hand grasping his heavy pistol.

I‘ve been very busy as have many other Scout leaders over the weekâ€"eond in our Conference No doubt you‘ve read all about that in Monday‘s Advance so I can hardly tell you much about it. One thing that struck a high note in the Conference was one of the songs that proved popular in the singâ€"songs. The song had done thse same to the Washington Jamboree. It repeated its popularity when Arthur E. Paddon, Field Secretary of our district, introâ€" duced it to the Ontario Rover Moot. It was sung more than any other song at the Timmins District Patrol Leaders‘ Training Course. And now at the Scouters‘ Conference it once more stole the show. And that song is "Scouting Spirit," and is sung to the "Chocolate Soldier" tune, ‘"My Hero." The words are these: Hail, hail, Scouting Spirit, Best in the land. | I in sk: We‘ and : echno licans and s and p polliw synag overtfi low; i know‘ so!"

Hail, hail, Scouting Spirit, Hail! hail! hail! What a fine song! One that every Troop and Pack in the country should include in their singâ€"songs. The high light of the whole Conâ€" ference was the splendid address by Mr. J. P. Johnson, Superintendent of the Central Division of the C.N. Rys.,. and member of the Provincial Execuâ€" tive of the Boy Scouts of Ontario. His talk was so inspiring that every leader present is determined to raise the stanâ€" dard of his or her unit. And every Scout and Cub may help him too, by putting your shoulder to his proâ€" gramme and pushing for ail you‘re worth.

Sudbury Man Admits that Story of Holdâ€"up was Fake Truly, a policeman‘s lot is not a happy oneâ€"what with people who wont contess, and those who are too ready to ‘"confess" things. Some days ago a Minnow Lake man named Jimmy Pritchard told police that he had been assaulted and robbed on the Copper Cliff road last week. He was found lying in the snow by the side of the road, having apparently been struck in the head. A passerby took the man to the hospital where it was found that he had suffered from frostbites on the hands and face. It looked a clear enough case that the man had been slugged and robb>ed, and that is the CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC POR OBETTER LIGH T â€" EDISON /MAZIDA .‘.‘“W\'M\\\\i\'\‘?

He was emâ€" _ployed as truck driver on a route by a Sudbury firm, and was likely to have had over $200.00 in collections with ‘him at the time the robbery was supâ€" posed to be staged. Although the story seemed all right, the police for some l reason or another were in doubt, and | continued questioning resulted in the man admitting that he faked the story to cover up a shortage of $297 in his ‘cartage collections. The man‘s final ‘ story to the police is to the effect that he threw himself on the slag roadbed to make his story appear authentic. He was prepared to take a few bruises and bumps, but he did not intend to knock himself unconscious. This, howâ€" ever, is just what he did when he threw himself on the hard road. As a reâ€" sult, he lay alongside the road for about an hour before the gentleman came along and took him to the hosâ€" pital. As a result of his admissions to the police the Minnow Lake man is held in custody on two chargesâ€"one of giving false information to the police and the other of illegally converting the money of his employer to his own use. When found by a passing motorâ€" ist, the man was suffering from frostâ€" bites on the hands and feet and also from an abrasion on the side of his face. *London Observer:â€"â€"The latest examâ€" ple is that of a cat of Gunnislake, on the Cornish side of the Tamar, who has just walked home freoem Exmouth, 70 miles away by rail.
