CHAPTER XXV Gorden came out of the booth, his •boulders sagging. He looked appealingly at Tyler. “Now what?" he said. “I suggest that we go see your friend the local police commissioner, and lay the whole thing before him." said Tyler “No, no, we can’t do that! said Gordon. "It will get in the papers. That would be—fatal. If it’s Gaudio —he’d kill her!" "You eae impress him with tho necessity for complete secrecy,” said Tyler. “And I’m sure I can get Kilrane to help us out too. Os course this is out of his jurisdiction, but he’U co-operate—spread the word to look out for Gaudio.' Gordon stood for a moment indecisively. Then he nodded. “I suppose it’s al) we can do." he said miserably. “Lord, if it s only Just a question of ransom! I'll pay every cent I’ve got for her safe return!" . .. “All of which they probably know," said Tyler. “You’ll probably near from them. But meanwhile the police may be able to he.p us. After all. it's possible she—well, had some Kind oi attack—wandered awav. Such things happen. “All right," said Gordon dully. “We’v* got to do everything we can." . As they turned in at the gate, David, who had returned from the city during their absence, ran toward the two cars, followed by Nat Nat looked at Tyler sharply. The man hook his head “Dave!" Gordon cried, at sight it his son. “Did she phone?” “No, Dad,” said David. He stepped onto the running-board and gripped his father's shoulder. The slder man leaned back wearily. Tyler told the chauffeur to drive on sp to the house. Nat climbed into the other car beside Doris. She was white and trembling. She leaned against him. dropping her head on his shoulder. He spoke to her, tried to bolster her courage. When the car stopped in front of the house, he helped her out Johnson appeared and began to ask questions. Tyler silenced him and led the way to the living-room. Gordon sank into a chair, as if utterly spent Tyler, as quickly as possible, told Nat, David and Johnson what they had done. “Kilrane will have a check made on every gangster within a hundred miles,” ha said. “And we can trust him absolutely. He knows what this sort of thing means. If she has been kidnaped, and they communicate with us, he’U keep hands off until she’s safely returned. He knows that's the one important thing.” Tyler and Johnson urged Gordon to go to his room and try to get some rest But the man seemed hardly to hear them He shook hjp head firmly, however, when David also tried to persuade him, and «ank into a chair, holding onto the edges •o tightly that his knuckles stood out. Doris absolutely refused to go to her own room. “I—l can't stand it," she said. "With both of them gone—those •mpty rooms on either side of me—no, no, I'll stay right here!" “But there's no good in just sitting here,” Nat protested. Between them, they finally persuaded her to stay in David’s room again. David took her upstairs. The man who had been posted in the hallway was on duty, as was the guard on the balcony. When he came downstairs again, his father was standing by the door. “I I can’t be alone," he said. “Come, David, we’re all going to wait in the cottage. At least we can —try to plan what to do. Tell the operator to switch any calls that come for either of us to the cottage.” David went to the telephone and made that request. Then the four men went silently across the lawn, through the garden. The cottage was in darkness Tyler opened the door and reached for the lightswitch. They heard Ruth’s vo.ee ia the darkness: “Father? “Yes, darling," he said, and turned on the light She was tying or. the couch in the living-room. On the table at the end of it lay her violin, beside its case. She sat up as Tyler went to her. He put an arm about her.

“Did—dio you find her?” she i asked. “No." said her father. “Oh, I was afraid of that!” she i said. “I—right after you left, I l played. ... And I—l got something." Gordon stared at her. M Jt—it was as if some one—some i one were laughing," she said. Gordun groaned. He sank into a chair, buried his face in his hands. “There was nothing about—Mrs. < Gordon?" Tyler asked. 1 The gir) shook her head. ( “Nothing about anybody," she said. "Just — laughter — satisfaction." 1 Gordon sprang to his feet His son took hold of his arm, urged him < to sit down. “I can’t stand this!” Gordon l cried. “Ruth, you’ve got to get through I You’ve got to find out!" ' “I’ll try,” the girl said. She 1 reached for the violin. Her father stared at her, anxiously. Hurrying footsteps sounded on the gravel ' path. David opened the door. It ' was Nelson, carrying an envelope in his hand. » “This just came by a motorcycle 1 messenger,” he said. “The boy said a man left it at the village tele- 1 graph-office for immediate delivery.” . ' Gorden hurried to his son, took the letter. His name was typewrit- • ten on the envelope—nothing else. With shaking hands he ripped open ' the envelope, stared at a sheet of typewritten paper. “Gaudio!" he cried. David took the letter, the others crowding about him. The letter read: “Pve got your wife. You know uhat will happen if you crark to the bulls. Instructions will be sent you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.” It was signed, "Lovingly, Gaudio." “That means ransom!” said Nat. “Oh, thank God, thank God!” Gordon cried. “She’s unharmed. Phone Kilranv, Tyler. For God’s sake, have him call off his men! I can't take the slightest chance. I’ll* do anything they want!” He turned pleadingly toward Tyler, then stopped, hushed. Ruth had placed the violin to her shoulder, and now she drew the bow across the strings, slowly. She blanched, i dropped the bow to her side. "Helene 1” she said, her voice rising almost to a scream. “It’s Hetenel" She began to sob. Tyler put his asms about her. Nat ran to the telephone. “What’s the phone-num-ber of the sanitarium?” he cried. Gordon, half-dazed, told him. Nat called the number. He could hear the operator ringing and ringing. But there was no answer. Impatiently he jiggled the hook. “Operator,” he said, “that the hospital. They must answer!” “They’ve had seme trouble out there.” said the operator. “They called the police.” "Trouble?" said Nat. “Please try them again. Try them till they answer!” The ringing sound continued. Finally there was an answer. “Hello?” a voice said. “I’m calling for Paul Gordon,” I said Nat rapidly. “His daughter—’’[ “We’ve been trying to get you,” I the voice said. “Just a minute.” j Everyone in the room was staring | at Nat and the phone in his hand, j He recognized Dr. Peters’ voice on I the wire. “This is Peters,” he said. “A ter- i rible thing has happened. Two se-dan-loads of armed thugs held up the sanitarium awhile ago and took Miss Gordon away!" “Took her away!” Nat cried. “Kidnaped her!” said Dr. Peters. • • • • In a huge and comfortable chair, feet on an antique footstool, a long thin cigar between his lips, lolled a heavy-set dark man with closecropped black mustache, a man in his middle thirties, placidly reading a tabloid newspaper. Striding back and forth restlessly, his little dark eyes almost constantly on the heavy clock which adorned the mantel, was a quick, slim fellow, four or five years younger, dark too, a man with a strong resemblance to the man in the chair. The heavy Aubusson rug deadened the sound of his pacing feet. The man in the chair gave a low chuckle, and the younger stopped,

"Take it easy, Nicky," ha said. “You’re as jumpy as ■ cat.” “‘Take it easy!'” echoed Nicky explosively. “That’s what 1 said.” said ths other man quietly. “Lord, Jim,” said Nicky, “you aint human!” The man he had called Jim smiled, and made a little gesture with his hands. “You’re nuts to take this chance," Nicky said. “The bulls’ll be poking their snozzles into every damn’ car that comes into town I” “So what?” said Jim wearily. “So what!” Nicky cried. “So it’s our hips, if they find that broad!’’ “They won't find her." said Jim composedly. “But suppose they do? ’ pers.sted Nicky. “They’ve got nothin’ on >om." said Jim quietly. "And they won’t take me alive. If they come for me. you can stroll." Nicky glared at him angrily "You knov me better Hian that, Jim/’ he said. Jim smiied. “Okay," he said. “But suit wor ryin’. They wvn’t find he r " “If you’d only taken my advice!" said Nicky. "It w-j:iid a been • cinch to sl:t her throat, tess her in • ditch—" “I’ve waited too long, Nicky," Jim said, interrupting ‘To me. it’» worth the risk to keep her alive." “We’ve got to bu.np her anyhow," Nicky cut in. “What the heli's the sense—” “I’ve got reasons," said Jim softly. “Reasons for '.icitir.n.” He silenced Nicky with a sudden commanding gesture. “Sit down," he said sharply. Nicky sat down. 'I he other man ! smiled, picked up the tabloid again land went on reading. He l>:..shcd the gossip column and turned to the sports page, glanced at the headline, then looked across at N'cky, who was grinding his fingernails into his palms. “The Yanks lost,” he said. "Too bad. I lose eighty fish.” Nicky achieved a look of mock sympathy. ”Aint that a shame'’’’ he said. Jim went back to his paper. “They oughta bench ths Rabe,” he said. “He aint hittin’ his weisht.” The phone rang. Nicky’s little eyes went to it swiftly; he started to rise. Jim waved him been. Unhurriedly he lifted the receiver, said “Yeah? This is him. .. . Okay, Sam. Be right down.” He replaced the receiver “The beer’s hera" he said. “Come on. Nicky looked at him blankly, j “The beer?” he said, j “Uh-huh,” said Jim. | He rose and motioned Nicky to ; follow. The younger man shrugged | and stepped through the doorway (behind him. They were in a iong I hall. Silently they walked toward {the rear, passing three doors on i their right. At the extreme rear was a steep flight of stairs. They descended to the door which closed off the foot of them. Jim pressed an automatic catch, and the door swung open. They stepped into a small square room, dimly lighted. Jim closed the door to the stairs, and the automatic ; latch clicked. There were three other doors in 1 the small room. Jim opened the one ' directly to his right, and shot a J quick glance down a narrow hall- ■ way which opened into a flowerfilled lobby No one was there. He • closed this door, locked it - Then he opened the door opposite 1 the one which led to the stairs. They • stepped into a spacious kitchen, and ' the door clicked shut behind them. 1 A food checker sat at a small table 1 across the room. He glanced up and jerked a thumb toward the rear. • “Thanks.

ji’tth ihc HOE<rm says -r».XI /IVJ AH Can Have Window Box Gardens Construct At Home So It Will Conform To House Design. The Low-Growing Annuals Are Fine Subjects V.hen you install an outdoor window box ft immediately becomes a part of the house, and shot: id conform to its architectural design and color scheme. For this reason it is well to construct your own window box, and it is not difficult to do. Window box gardening is a recreation and delight which everyone can enjoy, whether he lives in the smokiest city, or the roomiest suburb. They are grown to be seen from both the inside or the outside of the house, and there is such a variety of subjects available that almost any location (except extremely shady ones) is suitable. The box itself should be of the same color as the building, or as its trim and the flowers should be of a contrasting color which is harmonious. For a red brick house, white flowers and plenty of green foliage would l>o a.ttraedive. For a house in which yellow is the prevailing tone, blue flowers -should be used. These are only suggestions, since the taste of the owner wild control, of I course. | The flowers must grow well, if the box is to give pleasure: and rich is most important. because there is so little of it.
