HANK LOW’S LUCK.
Claymore was not in his boarding house when Nick and Patsy arrived
there.
He had come in and gone out shortly afterward.
Where he had gone, or in what direction, nobody could say.
Possibly to Daddy Drew’s to meet the desperadoes he had hired to commit
murder; but Nick didn’t believe it.
“That long work in his office this evening means something else,” said
Nick. “He’s got another plot up his sleeve. I’ll go to Daddy Drew’s and
get those men.”
Accordingly, he had turned his face into a copy of Claymore’s and had
been admitted easily.
Nat had said he would put up a stiff fight if he should meet Carter,
and he kept his word.
Probably he reckoned that the detective would wish to take him alive,
for he did not surrender when he saw the revolver pointed at his heart.
Instead, he made a quick rush at Nick, trying to knock up both his
arms.
The detective was quite ready for that.
It was true that he wished to take the men alive, and he did not fire.
He had hoped they would be scared into quiet surrender.
When the attack came, he dropped both weapons to the sidewalk.
Letting drive with his fists, he caught Nat on the chest, and knocked
the wind out of him.
But the crook did not fall.
He staggered against Jack, who at first was going to give up.
Seeing that the weapons had been dropped, Jack joined in and made a
desperate effort for freedom.
He caught his partner and kept him from falling.
Then both together sailed into the detective.
“Why!” said Nick, with a laugh, “come on, if that’s what you want.”
His arms shot out like lightning flashes, and every blow landed, but
the crooks kept too close for him to give them settlers.
And, after a moment, Jack retreated and drew his revolver.
That was a moment of peril for Nick, as he was busy just then with Nat.
And Nat, seeing the chance, pretended to be knocked down.
This was to give Jack a chance to shoot.
Up came the ruffian’s revolver, but before he could aim, around the
corner rushed the drunken man whom they had seen.
This man threw his arms about Jack’s neck, and bore him silently to the
ground.
“Put the bracelets on him, Patsy,” called Nick.
“They’re on,” replied the “drunken man,” calmly.
Nick had leaped upon Nat, and in a second had him ironed.
“This is the way I settle,” he said, as he stood up.
The prisoners cursed furiously, but if that did them any good nobody
knew it.
Nick picked up his revolvers, and then he and Patsy marched the
prisoners to headquarters.
Kerr was still there, and he was surrounded by eager reporters.
“Here are the murderers,” said Nick. “Low is innocent.”
He produced the amateur’s photograph, and told the story as briefly as
possible.
“The chief villain is yet to be caught,” he concluded. “I think we
shall find the clew to him in his office.”
There was a great deal of excitement at headquarters, and many
questions were asked.
Nick told the reporters to make it plain that Low’s arrest had been a
fake.
“When it’s all settled,” he said, “I’ll give you the details, or you
can get them from Kerr, who deserves a great deal of credit for the way
he picked up evidence. I’ve got work ahead between now and morning.”
Low was released, of course, and he went with Nick, Patsy and Kerr to
Claymore’s office.
Everything seemed to be in order there, but Nick picked the lock of
Claymore’s desk, and found a lot of papers there on which the man had
been at work during the long evening.
There were maps of the country around Mason Creek, some printed, some
roughly drawn with a pencil.
There was also the deed which Low had given to the oil company when he
sold a piece of his land.
Using his magnifying glass, Nick saw that some changes had been made in
the deed.
Words and figures had been carefully scratched out and others inked in.
“I had an idea this was what he was up to,” said Nick. “We shall find
Claymore out at Low’s farm.”
The four men set out for Mason Creek soon after.
Nick went in Low’s wagon, and Patsy and Kerr in one they hired.
When they came to the beginning of the trail, Nick got down and told
the others to drive slowly on.
“I’ll take the short cut,” said he. “You keep on by the road, and if he
escapes me he’ll run into your hands.”
As it was late in the spring, light came early.
The day was beginning to break when Nick passed the dead body of the
panther.
As he approached nearer Low’s house he moved cautiously.
Coming to the edge of the cleared land, he saw a man busy with a shovel
at a little distance.
It was Claymore.
He was digging a hole for the purpose of setting a boundary post in it.
The post had been taken up from a spot some distance farther down the
stream that crossed the farm.
Claymore’s scheme was to change the boundaries of the land bought by
the oil company so that they should include twice as much as had been
bought.
That was why the deed had been changed, and it explained the maps in
Claymore’s desk.
Nick watched the rascal for a few minutes, and then walked toward him.
“Why don’t you put the post up where it will take in Hank Low’s house
and barn?” he asked.
Claymore turned at the sound, and caught up a revolver that was lying
on the ground beside him.
He fired hastily, and the bullet went wild.
Nick had him covered.
“Try again,” said the detective, “if you think you can do your own
murdering.”
As he spoke, he was advancing upon the man.
Claymore gave one desperate look around.
He saw two wagons coming up the road.
Then he dropped his weapon, sat down on the ground, and put his hands
to his face.
“You haven’t as much nerve as I thought you had,” remarked Nick.
He put handcuffs on the prisoner, and waited for the others to come up.
“I can tell you all about it,” said Nick, then. “This man Claymore
found that he had bought land where the oil was scarce. He was
so anxious to get the land cheap that he didn’t dare to prospect
thoroughly. If he had done his work well, he would have seen that the
place for oil wells is further up the stream and nearer Low’s house.
“He found that out after a while, and then schemed to get possession of
the rest of the farm without paying for it.
“Seeing that Judson would expose the crooked work of the company, he
had him murdered by a couple of desperadoes who drifted into Denver
just in time for the job.
“Then he did some forgery work on the deed to make it show that he had
bought a good many acres more than he really had, and to back up the
deed he had to come out here and change the boundary posts.
“His best chance for doing that was while Low was locked up.
“That was why he didn’t go to meet his confederates early at Daddy
Drew’s.
“His confederates have told me all about the murder of Judson, so that
they are sure to be hanged, and one of them, Jack Thompson, is ready to
confess and tell just how Claymore hired them to do the deed.
“Between Jack’s confession and what I heard them say, we have got a
complete case.
“If I was in Hank Low’s place I’d give up farming on land where the
water is covered with oil, and dig wells.
“I noticed the appearance of the water in the stream when I was talking
with Low earlier in the night, and I knew that the place to dig for oil
is near his house.”
It was soon proved that Nick was entirely right.
The upper part of Low’s farm was rich in oil.
The farmer acted more than honestly about it.
With the help of Folsom, who was greatly pleased to learn that the
clergyman had not committed suicide, Low got the names and addresses
of all who had put money into the scheme of which Judson had been
president. And in the end nobody who had invested with the clergyman
lost anything.
No attempt was made to get back the part of the farm that was sold, for
the land wasn’t worth the trouble.
Jack Thompson confessed, but that did not save him from severe
punishment. He was put in prison for life, and Claymore and Hamilton
were hanged.
Nick Carter and his faithful assistant, Patsy, were content at last.
THE END.
“Millions at Stake” is the title of NEW MAGNET No. 1210, by Nicholas
Carter. A story in which Nick Carter’s brilliant young assistants all

this famous Western character, and to put them in a line called GREAT
WESTERN LIBRARY, together with stories about Buffalo Bill, by Col.
Prentiss Ingraham.
Thus, in this line two of the most famous of all American characters
join hands. The so-called society stories with a kick in them come
and go, but these clean, wholesome tales of the West give a clean-cut
picture of the lives and characters of the men who carried the advance
banners of civilization westward.
There are Indian stories, cowboy stories, outlaw stories, all sorts of
stories of adventures out West. Each one is clean and decent, even if
it is thrilling.

BOOKS THAT NEVER GROW OLD
Alger Series
Clean Adventure Stories for Boys
The Most Complete List Published
The following list does not contain all the books that Horatio Alger
wrote, but it contains most of them, and certainly the best.
Horatio Alger is to boys what Charles Dickens is to grown-ups. His
work is just as popular to-day as it was years ago. The books have a
quality, the value of which is beyond computation.
There are legions of boys of foreign parents who are being helped
along the road to true Americanism by reading these books which
are so peculiarly American in tone that the reader cannot fail to
absorb some of the spirit of fair play and clean living which is so
characteristically American.
In this list will be included certain books by Edward Stratemeyer,
Oliver Optic, and other authors who wrote the Alger type of stories,
which are equal in interest and wholesomeness with those written by the
famous author after which this great line of books for boys is named.

VALUE
Although literature is generally regarded as more or less of a luxury,
there is such a thing as getting your money’s worth, and a little more,
in the way of literature.
For seventy years the firm of STREET & SMITH has specialized in the
publication of fiction. During all this time everything bearing our
imprint represented good value for the money.
When, about thirty years ago, we began the publication of a series of
paper bound books, which has since become world famous by the name
of “The S & S Novel,” we did our best to publish the right sort of
fiction. The sales of these books proved that we have succeeded in
interesting and pleasing the American reading public.
There are over 1,800 different titles in our catalogue, and every title
above reproach from every standpoint. The STREET & SMITH NOVEL has been
rightly called the fiction of the masses.
Do not be deceived by books which look like the STREET & SMITH NOVELS
but which are made like them only in looks. Insist upon having paper
covered books bearing the imprint of STREET & SMITH, and so be sure of
securing full value for your money.

The Dealer
who handles the STREET & SMITH NOVELS is a man worth patronizing. The
fact that he does handle our books proves that he has considered the
merits of paper-covered lines, and has decided that the STREET & SMITH
NOVELS are superior to all others.
He has looked into the question of the morality of the paper-covered
book, for instance, and feels that he is perfectly safe in handing one
of our novels to any one, because he has our assurance that nothing
except clean, wholesome literature finds its way into our lines.
Therefore, the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer is a careful and wise
tradesman, and it is fair to assume selects the other articles he
has for sale with the same degree of intelligence as he does his
paper-covered books.
Deal with the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer.
