the day, put them In It and placed It
| under the paying teller's desk In order
that be could us* it without continual
ly runulug outside his compartment i
('or It. Hut after it had been tilled and
placed In posltiou Imogen suggested
that while there it would be handj for
the teller it would not be handy for
the person who was to snatch it up
and run away with It. 1 therefore
: placed it under a small table by the
1 back door through which it was to be
| carried lu case of attack. 1 also
bought a few yards of quarter inch
: rope, which 1 deposited lu a closet.
The only thing remaining to be done
was to see that the revolvers we kept
iu the different drawers were loaded
itud in good condition. These things
' having been atteuded to, I dismissed
the matter from my mind.
My thoughts dropped from war to
love. 1 bad a problem to settle. Would
1 or would I uot propose to Imogen
Bradley? 1 resolved to ask her from
what (tart of the east she came and to
make Inquiries. So I asked her the
question one day carelessly, that she
might not suspect my inteutlon. and
she gave me the name of a college
town In Massachusetts. I knew no
one there, so 1 was no better off than
before. The truth Is I was pining for
her, and it seemed to uk> that I would
rather be marrying her than her fam
ily. So I never wrote. 1 was satisfied
from what I had seeu of her that she
was an odd mixture of gentleness. 1
pluck and natural ability. What more
could 1 want, especially in a rough
country like Nevada?
It was but a rew uavs arier our
prej>a rations to receive Handy Andy
when at 12 o'clock the boys broke off
work and went to diuner. I uever left
the bunk myself after opening In the
morniug till closing la the eveuiug, al
ways eating n lunch in my private of
tli*. Miss Bradley usually went out i
for her dinner, but today she said she
bud a headache and would not go. She
sat reading u newspaper. As 1 munch- '
ed a sandwich I could look at her? so i
fair, so pure, so geutle? aud I made 1
up my tnlnd 1 would propose to her
that evening.
Suddenly there was a man's step out
aide the fixtures. Imogen looked up, '
aud 1 saw by her expression that she
recoguixed the comer. A wonderful
chauge came over her innocent face,
which took on one of hard resolution, >
Quickly rising, she unlatched a door
leading iuto the space she occupied. A
masked man stepped in aud covered
me with a revolver. Imogen darted
to the closet and took out the rope,
aud the man who had ordered me to
throw up my hauds took It from her,
giving her his revolver, which she
kept (>oiuted at me. The masked man
then proceeded to bind me hand and
.
This done, he took the weapon from
Imogen. She picked up the tin box
containing the bauk funds and. turn
'ng to me. threw me a kiss.
"That's In return for the one you ?
gave me," she said, smiling, "and I'm
much obliged to you for saving us the
trouble of collecting the money, which i
would have taken time. Ta, ta!"
She walked out of the back door
with some $1*0,000, leaving the masked
man to keep guard over me till she
had got far enough away to render
pursuit unavailable. When she had
goue my watcher said to me:
"Sice young woman. Isn't she? Sor
ry for you. but she's got a husband
already, and two is against the law.
She's my wife. Mrs. Ilaudy Andy, and
my cleverest work Is done by her."
The boys were not to be expected
back till 1 o'clock, and the robber had 1
undoubtedly been informed of the fact,
for after keeping me covered half an
honr be left me at ten minutes to 1.
The boys came lu at the regular time
and unbound me.
My funds were never recovered. 1 1
learned as soon as 1 was freed that l
Imogen had beeu seen slowly carrying
the box to a carriage, which she en
tered aud was driven away.
