As we sat there in silence the door was suddenly pushed open and in walked Abe Baker with the words, 'Where is Nixon? and we told him where he was. We were still talking when again a tap came to the door, and Shaw came in looking much disturbed. 'Did you hear about Nixon? he asked. We told him what we knew. 'But did you hear how they got him? he asked, excitedly.

The money taken from Ketor will be divided among the officers and men in such manner as you think proper. I shall send them down six for one when I can raise cash. Greaton's is at Pine bridge. Nixon moves in two days to support Putnam. The stated express is on this side Croton, at his own house. His name is John Cross, a refugee from New-York.

I spotted you a good while back, and I knowed you'd lamped me. You was lookin' f'r me to bust in here to-night?" "I was. After you followed me to Cripple Creek and back I knew about what to expect." "And you was layin' f'r me alone? when you could 'a' had Collins and Nixon and half a dozen more if yous 'd squealed f'r 'em?"

There they are all about me. Graeme and the men from the woods, Sandy, Baptiste, the Campbells, and in many attitudes and groups old man Nelson; Craig, too, and his miners, Shaw, Geordie, Nixon, and poor old Billy and the keeper of the League saloon. It seemed as if I lived among them, and the illusion was greatly helped by the vivid letters Graeme sent me from time to time.

Nixon was immediately stopped, and the intelligence conveyed to Gates, who countermanded his orders for the assault, and called back his troops, not without sustaining some loss from the British artillery."

Save for Mrs Nixon in a distant nook, Edwin had the attic floor to himself. He ought to have been as safe from intrusion there as in the farthest capital of Europe. His father did not climb the attic stairs once in six months. So that he had regarded himself as secure.

'I'll tell you that when I am there, said Nixon, and, checking his horse, fell back to the rear of the little party.

I did not like the undertaking at first; but as I thought of the whole wretched illegal business flourishing upon the weakness of the men in the mines and camps, whom I had learned to regard as brothers, and especially as I thought of the cowards that did for Nixon, I let my scruples go, and determined, with Abe, 'to get back at 'em. We had no difficulty getting them out. Abe began to yell.

Now, Mr Nixon was an old friend of the family's, a man of forty-nine or fifty, with a reputation for shrewdness and increasing wealth.

Then followed such lesser lights, as Nixon, Leslie and the other guests. A most exacting group of bons vivants, these. The host had realized it and had brought out his best.
