Tho judge looked keenly nt his
visitor. "Wolli"
"This is your writing, I believe*"
Tho judge nodded.
" And tho initials of your name
form the signnture. Now, what do
you suppose would happen if I
showed that note to Senator Holt?"
For reply tho lawyer quickly toro
it into small bits and tossed them
into the fire.
"Oh, that's all right!" said the
other cheerfully. "You surely don't
suppose that I was a big enough fool
to give you the original, do ycui
That was a copy-traci ng paper, you
know. Now, judge"-and he drop
ped his bantering tone-"come down
to business. You don't want Sena

$10.000, and in 24 hours the noto
shall be in your possession, and I
will bo out of the way."
"Pshaw, man," said the lawyer
contemptuously, "don't be a fooll
Don't you suppose that a note like
that can be explained away? If your
woman - what's her name, May
Robbins?-has any documents,bring
them out, and I may talk to you,
but in tho meantime I intend to see
that you work out your term in the
penitentiary."
"But you acknowledge your writ
ing?" asked the stranger, ignoring
tho threat.
"Yes, I wrote that note, but if you
know anything about it at all you
know that 1 wrote it for that gentle
manly thief and all around scoun
drel, Harry Roberts, after the sher
iff had shot him through the hand
and he could not write for himself."
His visitor lighted a fresh cigar
and gazed calmly up to the ceiling.
"Judge," he said, "I hardly ex
pected you to give in just because of
that note, but I thought I might BB
well try it at first-just as a 'feeler,*
you might say. Now listen to me.
We are alone here. No one is around
to liston. I never like to bluff
when I hold a good hand. So I am
going to make honest confession,
and if my soul don't profit by it
maybe my pocket will. I know as
well as you do that that woman is
not your wife, but I must have mon
ey, and I wouldn't hesitate to swear
that ehe is. Harry Roberts, who
afterward married her, eavod your
life when you first came out to that
country, a 'tenderfoot.' So when bo
got in trouble and had to skip out ho
came np to your cabin on the Point
with his hand all smashed to flin
ders, and you felt called on to write
that note to his wife for him and to
help him out,of the country. He was
caught, however, and hung after
ward, so he is out of the way.
"Now the case stands this way: I
am a -tolerably woll educated man
myself, and it was no great trouble
for me to take May's marriage cer
tificate and make William Henry
Roberts read William Barndon Rich
ards. If you remember May, you
know she is unscrupulous. I had a
friend in the clerk's office, and I
managed to get in there and change
the license the same way. So you
see we have documents a-plenty.
You'll give me the flO.000 beforo
noon tomorrow or ? will show your
note to Senator Holt and commence
legal proceedings to compel you to
provide support for your wife, nee
Robbins."
The judge was mad clear through
now, and he rose up and started for
his visitor with blood in his eye.
The ?tranger sprang behind the ta
ble.
"Easy, now," he cried, "or I'll
let you have it through the pocket."
And the lawyer saw that he was
grasping a pistol in tho side pocket
of b?? coat. He was by no means a
coward, but he did not care to run
against a pistol bullet He took his
seat again.
* "That'sbetter." commented the
stranger. , "There is no need of vio
lence in this matter, I hope. I don't
want to hurt you. Just cool down a
little and consider my proposition
for a few minutes ; then tell me what
you think of it.M
"I don't hpve to consider to tell
you that you are the most unmiti
gated liar and ?coundrel unhung!"
said ?the judge, keeping his temper
with difficulty. "But I don't suppose
that a man who is so shameless as
to confess himself tho lying black*
guard that you have to me can be
affected by anything I can say, so I
will spare myself the trouble of ex
pressing my opinion of you. But you
are as great a fool as liar. Admit
ting that you have the license and
certificate-which I have no proof of
except the word of a confessed liar
-don't you know that it .would be
the easiest thing in the world for
me to prove by dozens of peoplje in
Red Gulch that Roberts and this wo
man were living together, as man
and wife and that I lived by myself?
Don't you know "T
"Now, judge," interrupted the
stranger in his tum, "I didn't ' try
any bluff on you, but up and told
the whole truth like an honest man,
and yet here you are a-bluffing al
ready. Nobody knew whether this
woman was married to Roberts or
not, and nobody cared. The class of
women who.live in a mining town
like that was ore not usually over
particular as to their morals. Be
sides, Red Gulch isa dead town now.
ana ?as hp<??> ?.lean ror nv? yeare.
Where would you go to find a single
man whom you know there sevon
years ago? Now listen to me. Sup
pose you don't givo me tho $10,000!
What happens ? I go to the senator
with my proofs; the senator puts his
foot down on a certain marriage;
you say it is all a blackmailing
lie; the senator says my evidence
looks pretty strong; that you
must prove it a lie. Then you
have a nice job on your bauds. You
have got to hunt up a lot of people
that you have not heard of for years,
and if you should happen to lind
some of thom not ono would bo aldo
to swear that the Robbins woman
was married to Roberts or was not
married to you. All of that would
take time and money and accom
plish nothing in the end.
"On the other hand, give rae the
money- and $10,000 is cheap, too, I
tell you-and in 24 hours all tho
documents are in your possession,
and I am out of the way. If you
don't, think what my little story
to the senator means for you."
The judge obediently thought, and
it was nut pleasant thinking. He
did not believe tliat the womau could
win the case with her forged docu
ments, but this fellow was just tho
kind of a daredevil to go to tho sen
ator with his story and tbeu to law.
The senator would certainly post
pone the wedding, and there would
be a long delay. Even though his
daughter did not believe the story,
she would suffer. Of course there
would be endless talk and gossip.
The story woujd be in the papors,
old pranks of bis younger days
would be raked up, and evon though
he cleared himself finally tbero
would be a bitter sting left. There
would be many to say that where
there was co much smoke there
must be some fire. Then his politi
cal aspirations t The election was to
oome off in six months. Nice cam
paign material this scandal would
make for his opponents 1
These thoughts and many moro
flashed through the judge's mind,
and he glared at bis visitor savage
ly. He hadn't a doubt that be meant
every word that he said. Through
his light, bantering tone there ran ti
vein of earnestness and confidence
that was more dangerous than uny
loud blustering would have been.
Ho was confident that ho had i
"good thing" whether the judge
paid up now or not.
The judge's "good thing" seemed
to lie between paying out $10,000 ir
cash and having a big sca*ndal on his
hands.
Suddenly a smile flashed across
his face, and then the lips were com
pressed tightly. Tho stranger did
not notice the change of expression
"Well," said the judge, "I mus
confess that this is a pretty tigh'
place. Maybe we could discuss i
better over a drop of liquor."
He rose and opened a bandsomi
mahogany cabinet that fitted snugly
over the low mantel. In anothe:
minute whisky, water, sugar an<
glasses were placed hospitably oi
the table.
"Fill your glass," said the luwye:
graciously. "Ten thousand dollar
is enough money to deserve semi
consideration before being parte?
with. Bring your chair around i?
front of the table, lt must be colt
back there. "
Ho pulled his chair closo up to th
fire, and the stranger did likewise
so that they were sitting right ii
front of the grate, with their face
not four feet from the smolderinj
flames.
Any ono looking in would hnv
thought that they were two ol
friends taking a social evening todd;
together.
"Now, then, sir, y'ojir scheme i
simply to blackmail me out of $10,
000, I believe?"
"Exactly, judge."
"And you think you haveaprett
good thing?"
"Suro of it."
"If I understand you rightly, yo
say I must give you this money, c
yon will go io Senator Holt and te
him that I have a wife living on
west, and then you will go to law t
force me to give money to thia wc
man, but if I sive you the $10.00
you promise to turn over the prool
to me and leave the country?"
"Yes, that's just it."
"At the same time you admit tin
all these documents of yours ai
forgeries and that that letter yo
have of mine was written for anotl
er man who happened to have m
initials?"
-"Oh, of course I know all tba
but if you !et it go to law I wouldn
hesitate to swear just the opposite
and I defy you to prove that I ai
lying."
"Well, you certainly are candi?
Aren't you a little afraid to a ck no w
edge all this so boldly?"
"Not a bit of it. Of course I wi
deny that I ever admitted anythir
of the kind. If I hadn't admitted i
you would have known it just tl
same, so what difference does
make? It doesn't help you any, ar
just makes things clearer bet wei
ns. I admit that the whole sehen
is a lie, but you can't prove it, and
think that after a little consider
tion you will ?.athor g'ive me what
ask for than to try it."
"Maybe you are right," mutter?
the judge. "Just wait a minute. '

he reversed it and attached a funnel
shaped device, aud tho whole of tho
conversation came out in tones that
could bo heard all over tho room.
The judgo sat in his chair, holding
his pistol and smiling pleasantly.
The stranger's face was a study.
Surprise, rage, fear carno and went,
and were finally succeeded by a look
of comioal disgust.
When tho last word was finished,
tho lawyer could hold in no loueur
and burst into a hearty laugh. Tho
stranger glanced up in surprise, and
his look of cool impudence returned.
"Judge, I tell you what wo'll do.
Give mo $100, and we'll call it
square."
"Cool as over, aro you, my cheer

maybe you will tell mo why I should
not send you to tho penitentiary i"
"Oh, you do,i't want to do that !
You aro going to bo married next
week, you know, and you would not
like to think that your marriage
meant the beginning of a long terni
of suffering to one of your fellow
mortals."
The judge was so pleased at get

laughed again.
"Well," said he, "you como back

"Oetting out of jail with it good
filo seems easy enough," said au ex
sheriff tho ot hov day, "but I dou't
think I ever heard of but ono caso
whero a prisoner made bis escape
with a handful of dice, lt happen
ed years ago in my couuty after I
had arrested a eraok gambler from
tho wost for shooting a farmer.
The farmer was not Uilied, and tho
wostorner was shu*, up in jail until
court convened. The chanel's were
that be would oe sent to tho peni
tentiary for half a dozen years at
least. He went under the name cf
Miko Hunkier. That, however, was
an alias.
"While I was going over tho
buildiug ono morning a stranger
came up and asked to seo Hunkier.
He said that Hunkier was an ac
quaintance of bis and be wauted to
talk with bim about securing tho
services of a lawyer to defend bim.
1 let tho man in. but tnb.l Robinson,
the jailer, to watch him.
"Tho following morning while I
was at breakfast a boy rushed in
and told mo that Hunkier had es
caped. When I made an investiga
tion, I discovered that Robinson hud
also disappeared. Later in the day
I found a note from Robinson ad
dressed to me. Ho asked me to for
give him, said it was an affair of
honor and could not be helped. The
escapo was investigated by the
grand jury and after a long wrangle
I was completely exonerated, as a
trusted employee hail played me
false.
"Tho years rolled on and tho es
cape had ceased to cause auy com
ment. Some time afterward I got a
telegram from Tennessee saying
that Robinson was dead and that he
had made a requost that I be noti
fied. Five days later I received a
lotter written by Robins^ a previous
tobie death in which ho told me
the whole story of the escape.
"It seemu the man who went to
see Hunkier as his friend was a not.
ed crook. He carried the prisoner
a set of poker dioeand a roll of bi UH
amounting to about $500. That
night, while Robinson was patroling
the jail, Hunkier, who got to talk
ing with him, asked if he did not
want to shoot a few hands. The
cubes were brought out, and Robin
son said ho was the luckiest man
with them in town. The jailer got
$50 out of his wallet to start on, and
despite his luok ho lost. Ho went
back for another wad, and in due
time that drifted over to Hunkier.
Robinson had $400 in nil, and he
promptly brought it out. In an
hour's time the lust of his three
years' savings was gone. Notic;'?g
his dejection, Hunkier after av.hik
said :
" 'Robinson, I will make this
proposition. I will give you a
chance to win your money back and
mine, too, on ono throw. I'll put
up $i)00, and if you win, you got all.
If I win, you let me escape tonight.'
"Robinson thought over the mat
ter for 15 minutes, and finally
agreed to play ono poker hand iv
the fill. Robinson won tho tos?,
and hud to play first. He pitched
out the dice and then looked down
on two pairs, queens and jacks. He
kept the queens and then took thc
three other cubes for the second
throw. He got another pair o?
jaoks and an ace. He cursed hifi
luck, but threw again to the queens.
He turned another queen and a pail
of aces.
"Hunkier took the dice to beut
the full. He rattled thom long and
carefully, and when they hit the
jail lioor he smiled as he saw three
tens. Another ten would set him
free, with $900 in his pockets. On
the second throw he made a pair ol
jacks, but they did not free him.
Robinson held his breath on thc
third toss, and to his sorrow ho saw
the lucky ten turn. He told Hunk
1er he was free, but that he had
made himself an outcast. At 1
o'clock the next morning tho twe
slipped away, Robinson refusing tc
accept a dollar from Hunkier."
