BEGIN HERE TODAY Lorins Ranker offers a reward of one hundred thousand dollars for the Mfe return of his missing- daughter. Hope. His two friends, Eustice Highby. attorney, and Juarez Charlie, adventurer. assist Ranger in his search. Hoyes abductors command the girl's father to leave a hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds at a specified place. This i sdone according to instructions. Dr. Bristow conducts a private sanitarium and Dr George Kelsey is detained there against his will because he knows of criminal dealings of Bristow. Kelsey makes friends with an inmate who tells him Ehe is the missing Hope Ranger. She is registered as. sister to a nurse named Copley. Kelsey and Hope plan to escape in Bristow’s auto. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Ia man stationed there whirled about, thinking the car was Li running wild, and scrambled for safety. He was just in time. Through the hedge they smashed, and then with a bump and a lunge, leaped the trench which had been dug for the wall’s new foundation, and with a deft twirl of the wheel swung into the road beyond. There had been no sound behind them. Their sudden action, the daring of it, seemed to paralyze the two spectators. Then there came a loud, angry scream. Kelsey, glancing back, saw Anita Copley flying down the veranda steps, calling for the chauffeur, and shouting orders as she ran. CHAPTER XV Charlie plodded along the oii-soaked highway following those elusive tiretracks. The June afternoon which in his leafy tree-top had seemed a foretaste of heaven, out here on the reeking road was—well, it was hot.

THINKING THE CAR WAS RUNNING WILD. HE SCRAMBLED FOR SAFETY. Charlie swore himself Anally to a garage about three miles down the road. There, leading up to the gasoitr.e reservoir and pump in front of the place were four tire tracks, three •mooth and one corrugated, which he had lost for the last half mile in the •rose-hatchings of traffic. As he his motorcycle in at :he door of the garage, the first thing he saw was the flivver shoved back against the wall. No possibility of a mistake, with those tell-tale tires, and the license plate, No. 2155-G33, staring him In the face. As Charlie explained the difficulty with his motorcycle, he took quick T>tock of the man from the dented derby hat on his head to the solt-s of his spattered shoes. So far his sole response to Charlie’s story of hard luck—certain details included—had been ar. indifferent grunt. To Charlie impassivity was always a challenge. Wooden stares and bot-tled-up silences were spurs to his ingenuity. So as his tongue wagged on in the recital of his adventures, he was thinking. The one infallible appeal to an automobile man was the chance to make a sale and pocket a comfortable commission. Charlie had already represented himself as a canvasser taking orders for "put-it-together-yourself” furniand he now deftly turned to gUJ account of his fictitious tribuin this calling. I need,” he sair, “is half Wi dozen or so different lines of i household necessities. I’d be sure to catch ’em somewhere along the line.

Keeping Millions Free From Colds and La Grippe W. H. HILL S LIFE WORK Colds cause more illness than any other human ailment. Realizing this 50 years ago, W. H. Hill determined to develop a quickacting scientifically correct cold and la grippe remedy. Years of research brought success. Mr. Hill discovered a most remarkable formula. He backed it with energy, faith, integrity and a name that meant “satisfaction or money back.” Today more than 4,000,000 families—-one-fifth of America’s population—use and recommend Hill’s Cascara Bromide Quinine.

“But the trouble with that,” he pulled at his lip, “is that I’d have to carry such a raft of samples. I’ve been wondering if it wouldn’t pay me to chuck the old motorcycle, and buy me a nice little car that I could load up with my stuff.” The gleam of venal interest he had anticipated, brightened the ga-rage-keeper’s dull eye, and for the first time he unbent to articulate . speech. “Sure looks like good business to me,” he agreed. “An’ ’twouldn’t cost you no more to run a car than it does your motorcycle.” “Except for the first expense," said Charlie. “No, I don’t suppose it would. And I wouldn’t want a great, big, high-powered car, you understand.” His eye fell as if by chance on the flivver. “Now there’s a little trick that would suit me first rate. Doesn’t happen to be for sale, does it?” “Shouldn’t wonder,” the garage man led the way toward It, and threw back the hood for inspection. “You know the party that owns it, then?” Charlie could hardly keep the thrill of eagerness out of his voice. “Oh, yes; best of friends. Whatever I say, he’ll stand for.” “Wonder If I’m acquainted with him? I know quite a number of people around here.” “Well, you might call it bein’ ’quainted,” with heavy jocularity; “seein’ that you’re talkin’ to him right now. I’m the owner of this bus. Captain.” “ ’Course she ain’t her prettiest,” apologetically. “She’s just in off the road; and. with this ile all over everything, she’s kind of spattered up. Coupla strangers come in her with a big tourin’ car that they said wasn’t hittin’ right, and asked ihe if I could let ’em have a machine to go over White Plains way, while their’n was bein’ fixed. So I rented ’em the little boat. But. shucks, they might as well have used their own; there wasn’t nothin’ wrong with it that I could see, ’eept a loose bolt or two.” Charlie recognized with a sense of utter frustration that it was useless to probe further. All he could get was a description of the two men so vague that it would fit a million others, and a lack of any identifying details for the car. “Wait now. The garage-keeper was saying, “till I turn over the engine for you, and then you can see for yourself that I ain’t misstated nothin’ to you. Come here, Sam, and crank her tt|j for me.” But as Sam shambled around to the front of the flivver, and Charlie and the proprietor leaned over to watch the test, they were interrupted by a hail from the doorway. A party of people in a touring car had just driven up, and were making signals of distress. The garage man relapsed into his professional phlegm. “Hold on a minute,” he said. “I gotta see what these pests want. Then I’ll be back." Charlie leaned back against the wheel of the flivver, and while he waited rolled a cigarette. He gave a little gesture of impatience, and scattered the tobacco he was rolling to the floor.

With a muttered imprecation at his awkwardness, he reached for his sack, and as he did so, saw the garage man complete his examination of the car at the door, and shake his head at the owner. “This here is a Job that’s going to take a couple of hours,’’ -'he announced; “and you can’t go on in the shape you’re in, gears all pulled loose. Tou folks ’ll just have a pile out and stick around, till I get it fixed up." There were protests, exclamations, remonstrances; but the garage man was firm, and in the end the party, four women and two men besides the driver, with American good humor under trying circumstances, got out of the car and the proprietor and Sam rolled it into the shop. Regarding this as a good opportun ty to get away, Charlie called to the garage keeper that he would be back presently and started for the door. YV ithout looking at the group of stranded motorists, he pushed bis mo-tor-cycle past them, when he was stopped by a high-pitched, faintly familiar voice calling: “Oh, how d’y’ do!” He looked up to see a pretty girl in futuristically vivid sport things moving toward him. For a moment he was puzzled, and then he remembered her as the strayed Princess of the smart little millinery shop where he and Ranger had bought the hat. "Juliet!” he exclaimed, sweeping off his hat. “To think that you remembered me after all these years!” “How could I forget the man who ordered that —that lid!” Laughter struggled with statuesque repose and won. "Oh, you men! You’ve a scream when it comes to millinery. Too bad,” her charming mouth drawn down, her eyes full of mocking commiseration, “that your lady friend didn’t like the hat." At her words, a splinter of lightning went through Charlie and shivered along his spine. In the black, boggy depths of his slough of despond there flashed a ray of hope. CHAPTER XVI In the twinkling of an eye the humble canvasser of "put-lt-together-yourself” furniture became without change of costume or stage properties the sophisticated, world-worn man of affairs. /’She didn’t like the hat?” he repeated, lifting his shoulders and eyebrows at the same time. "Capricious, capricious creatures, you women.” The Princess laughed, but looked at him doubtfully. “You’re such a kidder,” she said, “I don’t quite make you.” “Fancy meeting you here,” a flattering touch of sentiment in his smile; “partners in hard hick, one might say. both victims of a breakdown. Bless the breakdown,” with light fervor “When I had mine I was hurrying back to a board meeting from my friend Loring Ranger’s place over yonder.” She gave the start he expected. That nitme was too familiar to readers of newspapers to escape notice. “You mean the father of Hope

Ranger?” She showed ajl the blueness of her widened eyes. “Yes; poor Lorry!” He was not acting now. “Oh!” With an inflation of her best great-lady manner, she turned to her friends. “I want all you folks to meet Mr. .” “Juarez,” Charlie suavely helped he/ 1 out. “Surely! Mr. Juarez shake hands with Mr. and Mrs. Greenberg,” motioning to the driver of the car and his wife. "Mr. Juarez, Miss Schupp. Miss McCarthy, Mr. Dave Greenberg and Mr. Latfler,” she ran through the circle. "Mr. Juarez is just back from a visit to the father of Hope Ranger." Mr. and Mrs. Greenberg, Mr. Dave Greenberg, Miss Schupp, Miss McCarthy and Mr. Leffler immediately became animated interrogation points. Charlie answered guardedly, with the air of one who coujd tell a great deal but whose lips were for the nment sealed.
