revolvers and vamosed. After awhile it
preved that he himself answered to the
description of the man he was looking for.
In addition to this be had a pair of splen
*did revolvers. , I
Presently he decamped with the watch
of his landlord, Mr. Darling, and came to

lowed to escape. Louk out for him.—
