Charlie W sank into a chair and busied ■—— himself in rolling a succession of cigarettes. ‘Perhaps a finger-print man could help us?” Ranger was still dwelling on this theme. "That letter and the photograph must have been handled by the person who put them in the envelope, and it might be —?” At last Charlie could unleash himself. “Good Lord. Lorry!” There was actual entreaty in his voice. “Won't you understand? Won’t you realize what we are up against? You taik about making those people pay, and sit here weaving kindergarten schemes to trap them; and all the time they’ve got you sewed up tighter than a drum. They’ve got your daughter in their hands, and they Tell you plainly that if you don’t come across with a hundred grand by tomorrow—and play square with them, too—you'll never see her again. What are you going to do about that?”

CHARLIE CLIMBED BACK ON HIS MOTORCYCLE, AND. RETURNED TO THE "JUNGLE.” Ranger flinched for a moment before this vigorous presentation, but he rallied. "Why, if I can’t do anything else. I'll deposit the bonds as directed, and then have enough men close at hand to nab whoever comes after them.” "And you expect ’em to walk unsuspectingly right into your bunch of nabbers? Lorry! Lorry! A Wop kidnaper from the east side would know better than to fall for a game like that. Do you know this place where you’re supposed to plant the bonds?” “Certainly. Behind a loose stone in the archway where the Lone Hill road runs under the railroad tracks.” •‘Got a picture of the locality in your mind?” “I know it well; travel that way every time/ I motor olit to our place in Westchester.” "So do I know it.” Charle’s mouth widened comically. “Got chased through there once by a farmer’s watch dog. And, if you'll remember, you’ve got to be pretty nearly insidg, the archway before you can tell wnat’s going on there.

watchers would have to be planted practically in plain view to see the one that stops and gets the jack.” Ranger, when he gave it thought, could not well deny the strength of the objection. His head dropped, the worried lines began to reappear in his face. f "And now, this.” Charlie caught up the letter from the Combine. "You ray, you found it on your desk when you came back from luncheon. Any idea how it got there?” ”1 meant to speak about that.” Ranger's mouth tightened ominously. "I've had everybody in the building questioned, but no one admits being near the office.” “What does Bryan say?” •‘I haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet. He left before I did to go to Newark, and hasn’t got back yet. I don’t see —” He shook his head perplexedly. “But anyhow,” he grew grim again. “I’m going to give him his walking papers—on suspicion.” “I wouldn’t,” Charlie demurred. “You want a fellow of that kind where you can keep an eye on him. Show him this letter and consult him about it. You won’t learn anything, but it will make him feel easy. Then raise his salary. Tell him you want to show your appreciation of his faithful services.” He rose, and walked up and down the room, motioning Ranger to silence. “I’ve got an idea, Lorry,” he said at last; "but I don't want to talk about it, even to you. You Just follow instructions —you’ve got to anyhow. Mrs. Ranger won’t stand for anything else —and place those bonds as they’ve told you. Then leave the rest to me.” “But you will -need help of sort?” Ranger puckered his brows. “You’re not going to tackle this crowd alone, single-handed?” “Weil, not exactly," drawled Charlie. “You used to go to the races considerably. I member. Then, if you don’t mind, I’d like to borrow a stopwatch and a pair of field-glasses.”
CHAPTER X Where the Lone Hill road, one or Westchester County's main traveled thoroughfares, dips under the railroad tracks, it passes through an archway of masonry between 50 and 75 feet long; and as this archway is high enough to accommodate a load of hay,, and the surrounding country is one of level fields, the approach on either side is through a steep, walled cut. But Charlie thought he saw a way to get around these unpromising conditions. He did not go home that right after leaving Ranger’s office, but instead registered at a cheap East Side Hotel where he spent the evening in an exhaustive study of an a.outomobHe road-map of Westchester County. About two o’clock he came down stairs and passed out, casually remarking to the night clerk that he was wakeful and thought he would take a walk before he turned in. At a garage eight or ten blocks away where he had left his motorcycle, he got it, and chugged briskly over the Williamsburg bridge as if heading for his lodgings. On the other side, though, he deviated from the direct route, and ly through a succession or ill-lighted, tenement streets until he was sure he had thrown off anyone who might be trying to trail him, when hu turned north, and crossed back to Manhattan by way of the Queensfcoro bridge at Fifty-ninth Bt. Dawn found him at a little patch of woods along the railroad track about a half mile distant from the archway at the Lone Hill road crossing, where the ashes of a burned-out camp-fire and a scattered litter of rags, newspapers, old tin cans and worn-out shoes betokened a hobo “jungle.” Beside it ran a back road, little more than a wagon-track, crossing the railroad here on the level, and forking into the Lone Hill road a quarter of a mile beyond. From his study of the map, he knew that this by-ways again intersected the main road about a mile and a half above, and he remembered that it was marked as rough and bumpy but passable for machines in case of emergency. The wise campaigner, though, leaves nothing to chance. In order to make sure that it was open and without obstructions, Charlie rode out to the intersection with the Lone Hill road and circled back by way of this to his starting point. In the archway at the railroad crossing he dismounted to take a look at the place designated as a depository

-for the Liberty bonds, and from the instructions in the letter found no difficulty in locating it. Just about midway of the tunnel and at the height of a man’s shoulder, there was a discolored streak on the maaonry caused by dampness, and the mortar had crumbled from around one of the stones, leaving it loose. Testing it with his fingers, Charlie found the block easy to lift out. Behind it was a crevice, shallow but still large enough to hold a package of securities. Charlie climbed back on his motorcycle, and returned to the "jungle.” He appeared, as he had expected, to have it wholly to himself. This was a season when its nomadic* habitues were more apt to be in the West, following in the wake of circuses and street fairs, or answering the need for harvest hands. The ashes of the last camp-fire were at least three weeks cold. Nevertheless, as a proper measure of precaution, he scouted through the entire patch of woods, and as the light grew stronger climbed a tree to reconnoiter the surrounding country. He slid down from the tree, and after hiding his motorcycle carefully under a pile of brush, laid down in a sandy hollow and pulling his hat over his eyes, prepared to sleep. When he awoke, several hours later, !*• sun was warm on him and he lay luxuriously for a. while listening to he varied and various wood sounds, all long familiar to him. Finally, he rolled over and pulled out his watch. It was almost 11 o’clock. He ate from his package of sand wishes, uncorked the thermos bottle;

then, rising, swung himself up with a good deal of agility into tree under which he had been sitting. The hours passed on. The sun had crossed the zenith and declined toward the West. Charlie in his leafy re treat disposed of his remaining sandwiches and what was left of the coffee In his thermos bottle. The rest of the time he put in at timing automobiles. At half past three, Ranger's big touring car came along from the direction of the town. Through the glasses Charlie could recognize the figure of the manufacturer himself in the driver’s seat. He was quite alone, and as'he neared the crossing, seemed to be glancing to right and left. “Wondering what I’m up to, I guess,” chuckled Charlie. Yet his complacency did not keep him from very carefully timing the pace of the car as it swept along over the marked course. As it happened there was nothing else in sight when Ranegr reached the cut and he drove straight ahead. “At the rate he’s traveling he ought to be out in one minute and seventeen seconds,” Charlie calculated. ‘‘We’ll get a line now on just how long it takes to pull out that stone and put It baak again.” But it was almost five minutes before Ranger reappeared on the further side of the crossing. “He’d be careful and a little slow,” Charlie reflected; “so that’s no fair criterion. I’d say, though, that anything that stayed down there longer than two minutes was a pretty safe oet to follow up.” (Continued, in Our Next Issue)

Coleman, 6?0 Riverside Ave., Fort Wayne, Ind. “I don’t know of any better way to help people suffering as I did than to get them to take Tanlac. I was on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. I was so weak and sick I didn’t believe any medicine could j help me. My appetite was very poor and even the little I did eat seemed to do me no good. My sleep was broken and I suffered continually from nervousness.
