BEGIN HERE TODAY Hope Ranker, daughter ot Lormg Banger, disappears and her father offers a hundred-thousand-dollar reward for her return. Acting upon instructions from Hope's abductors. Lorir.g -leaves a hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds in a specitud place. Juarez Charlie, adventurer, is a warm friend of Ranger. He goes on a still hunt for Hope. He is given a clew to act upon by a girl friend. Hope 's held prisoner in Dr. Bristow’s private sanitarium and she makes friends with Dr. George Kelsey, who is detained ‘here because he knows of criminal dealings of Dr. Bristow. Hope and Kelsey consult as to different means of escape. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ■ r~v N their arrival at the garage |lj they found the touring car repaired, and the party ready to start. Charlie swung the Princess lightly from one car to the other, held her hand a moment in parting, promised to meet them all the next Sunday at Mrs. Greenberg's for dinner; and then stood waving as they drove away. With their departure, he shed his role of the moneyed idler. Stern business demanded him now—Just how stem he did not realize until he started to pay the garage-keeper for the use of the tlivver. and discovered rhat he had only $1.35 left in his pocket. Plowever, he did r.ot betray his dilemma; his training saved him. He still had his tongue, and it had extricated him m more embarrassing straits than this. Glitzy, steadily he talked on to the garage keeper, while trying to decide on his next move. He surreptitiously explored his various pockets in the faint hope of finding some overlooked currency, and hie fingers came in contart with a familiar object. Like a magic tali*

THEY CRASHED INTO A TREE i i man, it restored his equanimity and courage. It was an imitation’ meerschaum pipe, and it —or rather, its ftllows—had for years provided Charlie with j what he called his "little graft." He always carried with him on his jour- : ii a ys an assortment of these, retailing at about 50 cents apiece, and on his arrival in a "hick” town would set out with one of them in his pocket carefully wrapped up in an old silk handkerchief. In the office of the jilroad hotel oi at the Main St. pool 1 arior, he would mark down his prospective victim —sometimes a' lounging patron, sometimes the proprietor of the place—and strike up a conversar.on, mesmerizing him with his gift of language. Then at the psychological moment he would draw out better Than WHISKEY FOR 00L0S ANO FLU Delightful Elixir, Called Aspironal, Medicated With Latest Scientific Remedies That Are Endorsed by Medical Authorities to Cut Short a Cold or Cough Due to Cold and Prevent Complications.

his pipe, and nandling it as tenderly as if it were some rare treasure, would offer it for inspection. "My father put in thirty-two years coloring that bowl," he would affirm, pensively reminiscent, "brought it with him when he came over from the other side, and gave it to me on his death-bed. I never thought that anything could make me part with it, but old Hard Luck is some persuader, and I’ve made up my mind to let it go. Os course, if I had time to turn a deal, I could easy get as high as four or five hundred for a pipe like that; but these bum lungs of mine tell me that I can t afford to lose any time getting to Arizona.” Here a hollow cough would shake his whole frame. "So, if you know of anybody, friend, that's willing to come across with the twenty-five I need to make up my fare to Phoenix, the meerschaum’s theirs.” The listener generally fell for the bargain, and by the time the fraud was discovered and the constable set on his trail, Charlie would be many miles away. Os course, with the garage-keeper, he had to vary his story, and adapt it to his character as canvasser for “put-it-together-yourself” furniture; but he did it so effectively, that when he closed the transaction, he had paid all charges against him and had eleven dollars to boot. Then resolutely putting out of his mind the Princess, the garage keeper. Ranger, everything that interfered with his study of the problem before him, he raced toward Long Island. CHAPTER XVIII It was just about the time that Charlie had gained from the Princess the clew which pointed to the sanitarium, that Hope and Kelsey in Bristow’s high-powered car went crashing through the hedge and sweeping down the road. Their plan had been to drive west, change the car at some garage, first disabling it, and then proceed in ani other less conspicuous one to New York. But Kelsey noticed that she had headed east, which was well, as it would lead the pursuit in that direction. Half a mile beyond the hospital, though, she turned into a narrow lane, and he soon saw that by circuitous routes she was now making her way west. Neither of them spoke. Crouched over the wheel, Hope drove —a valkrie of a driver, and for the time nothing more, every fiber of her bent on that. And in the first ecstasy of escape, Kelsey gave no thought to the dangers still before them. Twilight was falling now. As they whirled on. following tangled and tortuous by-paths, he could no longer see ahead of him. With a twist of the wheel Hope brought them out of a lane they had been following through the scruboak onto a more traveled highway, and ahead of them he saw the lights of a garage. She slowed down and stopped, rubbing her numb hands. “Run ahead and reconnoiter,” she said, "and I will get ready to put the j carburetor out of commission, if the j coast is clear. Then, with another car. we will make a detour around that bend and strike into the main road.” He was already out of the car, and starting on his way. Two or three minutes passed nnd then he came running back. "Thera’s a car there,” he panted. “There wete men in it —Bristow’s chauffeur. The garage men were gathered around it. i We haven’t a second to lose. 'They're I after us.” She jumped into her seat, and slewed the machine sharply around. They whizzed down the road and oaek into the scrub-oak again. He heard shouts behind them, and the loud honkingof a horn, with an answering honk-honk to the right and left—the baying of the pack. Kelsey looked back, and as he did so, a car shot out from an intersecting road ar.d took after them. It gained steadily. "They’ve got us pocketed,” he said. "Not yet.” The wind blew back her , words to him. They had come to a point where the road forked in three directions. She turned into the first, one. “We’ll try for our old house now,” she said. "We can get to the back entrance by a short cut through the woods just beyond here.” "Our old house?” He had not heard of it before. “But the car. They will track us by that, no matter where we go.” “Let them,” she said briefly, and with what struck him as remarkable rang froid under the circumstances. He looked back again. “They’ve followed," he said. "They’re on us now.” The words were hardly out of his month when theer was a rush of wheels, the purr of an engine and the I ursuing car shot by them to draw up ahead in the middle of the road. There was nothing for them but to stop. Thsy could not hope to pads in that narrow lane, and it was equally impossible to turn. As the car passed them Kelsey had made out that there were two men in it. One of them leaped over the side and came running back. Kelsey flexed his muscles and waited. The man hurrying toward ihem was a big, burly fellow, but Kelsey, was no lightweight himself. Armed or unarmed, he was ready for him, and then ne’d take on the other, both at the same time, for that matter. The man held something in his hand, but it was not a gun. “That you, Dr. Bristown?” he said, coming close and speaking ;n a harsh, husky whisper. He halted, his jaw falling. "What the —!” Hope leaned forward. "I am Miss Copley,” she said. "I wasn’t quite sure of the doctor’s directions.” "Oh? Miss Copley?” His truculence gave way to relief. He thrust a bulky envelope into her hand without a word, and turned back to his own car. „ "Better let us get a piece ahead,” he muttered over his Shoulder. "I’ve ! got an idea we’re being trailed. We just shook off a couple of other cars.” He was gone. The car in front started and whizzed on. There was no time for question or comment, no time to express wonder at this strange incident, Hope had thrown

The Merrick Road, wide and smooth, opened out before them, and many automobiles were on it. “We have to cross here.” she murmured. “Pray that our luck dOluS.

Then she turned rft. and soon they were in a treelined lane, where the ground was rougher than any over which they hs.d passed. They seemd to have thrown off the pursuit, Then the stillness was troken by the staccato coughing of b motorcycle somewhere before them. The explosive racket drummed oq their ears. A headli<rh‘ rayed yellow through the fog. Panic seized Hope. In the open, with a choice of b'-anch-ing roads where she could twist and double, her nerve held; but here, nered at last, she yielded to an unreasoning impulse. Before Kelsey realized her intention, she jerked the car to the left in so short a turn that they made it on two wheels. He saw an open spa.ee before him. A tail stump seemed to rise out of th* ground. She swerved frantically to avoid it, and they crashed into a tree. Blackness! He knew no more. Hope thrown clear of the wreck struggled for her breath, and then rcae uncertainly to hgr kness. A man was bending over h*r. (Cgptinned tyi On- Issue)
