Yes a vast wellorganized society
tomposed of peoplo In every piofes
Blonal walk of life It will bo your
business to discover this band and en-
ter tho organization as a member
And If I already know of the ex-
istence of such an organization very
calmly asked Lang
Half the battle would be won
exclaimed the detective excitedly I
suspect Lang that you do know con-
siderable about it thats why I ap-
proach jou in tho matter You are
one who undoubtedly should know
something about It the crime jou
were charged with together with the
fact that you had command of money
certainly placed you In the proper po-
sition to know But I know you are
not a member of the society for I
have watched jou too closely for that
What others may think I know that
you are an honest man
Thanks for that compliment
laughed Lang I am not a member
of course But as you say I srould
know something about It and I do
While imprisoned In the Tombs a
man In the next cell to mo made mo
the offer that for ten thousand dollars
In cash he would guarantee me that
I could escape and bo furnished with
protection against re capture He
hlntod at being an agent of a power-
ful society but I gave no heed to it ut
the time because I relied on being
able to fix a Juryman for less than
that sum if the worst came to the
worst with me
I wasnt mistaken in jou ex-
claimed tho delighted detective rub-
bing his hands together In his excite-
ment You are the man for my
money and It will take money to see
this thing througb I have a modest
fortune of about fifteen thousand tho
result of my savings for the years I
have been on the force Half of this
sum I will put to your credit If you
gives a raotlvo for the Wiling said
Denver musing It was nover clear
to tho judge who tried the case what
the motive was that prompted the
killing To mo now it Is perfectly
plain Tho murdered man klnew of
tho country < possibly wns about to
glvo away the secret and was si-
lenced by Golden Ho got off easy
fifteen years In Jollet Ho has at
tempted to oscapo n dozen times
but failed So this Is your man
Well well Wo will have to keep
this gentleman In view posSlhlj as-
sist him to escape from Jail In ardor
to discover liU confederate mil thus

I llufd HOt further Jinnrwft upon

Installment 6f money for current ex-
penses nndjfnap out a plan of cam-
paign that ijwlsh you to follow And
with a sortfof satisfactory handshake
the detectlyoYand the youth parted
for the nlght jjl
Let me think said Louis steady-
ing himself againsttho doorway as he
watched tho jretreatlng form of Den-
ver I havejfan offer thrown at me
which vlrtually amounts to selling my-
self for a tlme pnd running myself
Into the greatest danger If I am
lucky wlth one chance In a thou-
sand In niyfa vor I maj become real-
ly rich andjfamous I told Denver
that I dldnotjcaro for life but I do
Life Is dearftcTme I will live to win

The FlrsTi erlous SetBack
With tkatjjhlgh aim before him
Lang soon leftkhe saloon and retired
early to bedXiobered by his unexpect-
ed offer nndfprospects
AH nlghjKlong Denver had lain
awake mapping out the plan of action
that he wished Lang to follow and In
the morningjthe detect e and Lang
met as by agreement at tho office
of a detectlvSjagency
Lang said Denver as the youth
took a seatln tho detectives room
You havqjjslept on my pioposltlon

wo succeed in locating the country
and getting away with its wealthywo
will both be famous and rich How
does this strike you
It strikes me as a most magnifi-
cent offer responded Louis heartily
You accept then asked Denver
I most certainly do
Thats settled hen said the de-
tective as calmly as If binding an
everyday bargain or horse trade as
he held out his hand Shake on it
Louis grasped the proffered Band and
shook It heartllv and to them this
momentous bargain was bound for
good and alt
Who was this man who accosted
you In Jail nBked tho detective
Simeon Golden who was accused
of killing a pal of his and who was
awaiting requisition papers to take
him back to Illinois for trial replied
LangThat
That clears up a mystery and
ood and all fi
I should say not AnH that being
your answer we will consider the
question settled for good and all To
start with I am going to make a new
man of jouiphysically Your long

man you could never accomplish
what we haVe set out to do Neither
can jou accomplish it without due
preparation Our paths must He far
apart Without being known In the
matter jit nil I will supply you with
tho funds necessary to live while you
prepare jourself for the struggle
You will assume tho character of a
sport and cultivate the association
of the flashiest and most suspicious
of the light fingeredand tough gentry
Becomo one our success will depend
upon the truthfulness of your delinea-
tion I trust ray meaning Is made
clear to you and that jou sufficiently
renllre that brains are needed In this
undertaking
If success depends upon my follow-
ing jour instructions to the letter
nothing will be left undone replied
Lang who at last clearly perceived
what Denver had been aiming at that
success In the detective business
wqrks by inverse ratio
Spoken like a man And I believe
you have the spirit and tho nervo
to carry it through
Let us begin then What do you
suggest doing first
I should advise jou to Join an
athletic association answered Den-
ver Learn to box to wrestle even
a few lessons in swords play and tar-
get shooting wouldnt be amiss You
may never have occasion to use these
accomplishments but If ycu ever do
want them jou will want them
bad
I am now taking a course of box
ing replied Lang and can very
easily malcc it include lessons in
wrestling As you have suggested
arms I shall oractlce a few bouts
to beepme expert In the use of the
short sword The shooting galleries
will glvo sufficient practice with tho
gun and revolver
You will put jourself in training
at once The detectivo paused
abruptly springing to his feet
Lang and Denver had been sitting
very comfortably together upon a
leather loungo which occupied one
side of tho office all of a sudden
Denver sprang up and in one bound
landed in the office chair and grab-
bing up a pen from the desk before
which he now sat he began writing
Louis was for a moment at loss to
understand Denvers actions but had
tho good sense not to ask for an ex-
planation nor appear surprised It
waB soon made apparently clear when
Into tho room very unceremoniously
oil
A Wealthy Princess
0Denver rpse from Sis chafrvcrydc
llberately and while acknowledging
his visitors presence by a cordial
nod of his head spoke to Lang In a
buslnessllkd tone in a voke rather
loud and evidently for the purpose of
being overheard by the newcommer
Mr Smith I may or may not see
you again vefj boon however If jou
follow my Instructions Implicitly
handing him a note at the same time
jou cannot go astray arid iipdoubt
edly will recover tho property
Lang was somewhat hurriedly
bowed from the office not so quickly
as to look rJde but before the visitor
had a chance to get a critical view of
him
I wonder who that mah is quer-
ied Lang to himself Some detective
evidently vvhom D ° nver does not
wlsty to seo mo
The same thought crossed the In-
truders mind He could add two and
two together about as well as any
body Smith thats kind of a
cheap namel he said to himself
Evidently Denver doesnt want me to
know this fellow Just because ho
dont want me to know him Is Just
tho leason I should know him Thats
only another scoro I owe Jim Denver
and Ill begin the payment by watch-
ing Mr Smith u
This was the first serious setback
Lang was greatly disappointed in
being hustled so unceremoniously
from the detectives offlcerbut he par-
tially understood the reason that the
visit was unexpected and undesirable
The slip of paper given him by Den
ver hardly enlightened him
Beware of Regan lead a double
life beginyour training at once
Wlth it was a check for fifty dollars
Since these are my Instructions
said Lane and as I haye nothing
else to go by I must begin my train
ing at once I dont understandwhati
object Denver has In vlewln making
an athlgte out of me but as ho pays
the bills I can but obey orders And
it was vvell that he aid so
To be continue

My work puts me out In a 11 klnds

for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food
For 7 years I was constantly trou-
bled with Indigestion caused by eat-
ing heavy fatty starchy greasy poor-
ly cooked food such as aro the most
accessible to men In my business Gen-
erally each meal or lunch was fol
lowed by distressing pains and burn-
ing sensations in my stomach which
destroyed my sleep and almost un-
fitted me tor work My braid was so
muddy and foggy that It was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly
This lasted till about a year ago
when my attention was caUed to
GrapeNuts food by a nevfspaper ad
and I concluded to try It Since thea
I have used GrapoNuta at nearly ev-
ery meal and sometimes between
meals We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food In our ca-
booses and I find OrapeNuta mighty
handy for 1 is ready cooked
To make a long story short Grape
