Filing ' I i Aix 5-.315 ZVMW EQ- f-'f 11. as TURPEDO ......f.....is'WAfl The third man came out later and received such a knock on the head that he lost all interest in worldly affairs. The boys tore their coats in strips with which they bound and gagged him and shoved him behind some barrels. jack, whispered Dual, you run for the cop and I'll hold them until you get back, but for gosh sakes, hurry. After 'Iack's footsteps had died away, Dual searched his prisoner and found a pistol over which he was much pleased. He sat for some time think- ing and then stripped the prisoner and changed clothes with him. Pulling the old slouch hat over his eyes he walked into the room. The men spoke to him but did not notice him farther and he went over and fed sticks into the stove. Suddenly he was hit from behind and pulled around. Dual knew what would happen if he were captured, so he twisted and with a heavy stroke broke the capturer's grip. lle had hardly gotten loose when the other man jumped to help the first and the three men fought up and down the room. Dual finally got a heavy club from the pile and swung it knocking one of them out but be- fore he could swing it again the other closed in and clamped his fingers upon Dual's neck. Soon Dual's lungs began to smart and streaks of lightning seemed to flash before his eyes. just as he lost consciousness the fingers loosened. Dual awoke and found himself in bed, the sunlight pouring into the room. So, you are awake, are you son ? roared a deep voice and Dual looked up into the eyes of Dr. Gray, the family physician. How do you feel? demanded the doctor. l'd feel better if you'd let me up, retorted Dual. So, laughed the doctor, after a mix-up like that last night and almost getting the wind knocked out of you. you're ready to clean up on me, he laughed again. My boy, he said, you have been the instrument of the capture of a gang that the authorities have been unable to take for a long number of years. Besides making moonshine whiskey they are wanted for counter- feiting, forgery and a dozen other things. The reward that is on them amounts up to five thousand dollars which is all yours. Five thousand dollars, echoed Dual, my gosh, and it all started be- cause I got curious. That sure knocks that proverb, 'curiosity killed the cat,' in the head, don't it F -Lynn Booth.
