BKGIN lIKBK TODAY Hope Ranker is abducted by a band at criminals. Her wealthy lather. Lorinp Kanrer.. offers a reward of a hundred thousand dollars for *las ■*- turn of his daughter. Ranger is friendly with an adventure- called Jaurez Charlie starts on a auiet hunt !** mipe. The missing girl plots with Dr. George Kelsey to escape t-om the hospital where they are held tffweners. Together they ride away ih Bristow's car. which is wrecked just outside Ranger's lod abandoned home Following a clew given by a girl friend, Jaurez Charley rides toward Bristow's sanitarium on his motorcycle. He comes to the wrecked car and finding Kelsey injured, rides for a physician. NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY hurt?” She could dimly IV I see his white, frightened face. 1 1 i The motorcycle stood at the side of the road. “Want to get up? That’s good.” His hand was under her elbow, helping her to rise. She stared blankly at the crumpled bulk of the overturned car, and then ran toward It, stifling a scream. “Oh, where, where —?” she cried, and stopped. Kelsey lay almost at her feet, motionless, half under the tonneau. The man caught him by the shoulders and dragged him out. Hope dropped down beside him, moaning faintly. She lifted his head and It fell limply agains ther arm. The blood was running down over his temple, clothing his hair. Juarez Charlie was running practiced hands over his body. “He’s breathing,” he said, but shook his head. •’Looks to me like a fractured skull.” She forgot everything, their plight, the probability that this stranger •was sent to capture them: and cried out, imploring him.

"HURRY! WE MUST HIDE NOW,” SHE URGED. "Oh, go! Go for a doctor at once.” He jumped to the saddle, caught his spark almost immediately, and the Jerky crackle of his machine was soon lost in the distance. Hope made a pad of her own handkerchief, and taking Kelsey’s from his pocket folded a bandage of It and bound It about his forehead. Then ■with his head on her lap, she waited, bending over him. At last he stirred, there was a flutter of his lids, and he opened his eyes. "What's happened?” he asked. “The car turned over, and you were unconscious.” "And you?” “Oh, I’m all I was only shaken up a little.” His eyes veered to the ruin of the car. “Good heavens! They've got us sure. To think that it’s all ended BO.” “Nor 1 vehemently. “Not if you can walk. The house is near. It’s an old place that my father owns,” she explained. “I spent every summer here when I was a child. It’s empty now: the old caretaker died about six months ago.” He got up and took a staggering step or two. "Lean on me,” she said quickly. “I’ll have to, I’m afraid.” A hedge loomed ahead of them. With some difficulty she guided him to & gap in it, and they slipped through.

SOAKS RIGHT IN AND LIMBERS UP STIFF JOINTS Pharmacists Call It “Joint-Ease” Because It’s for Swollen, Sore, Painful, Creaky Joints Only.

| The house was only a ■'is Lance away. "Wait!” She ran toward it, circled to the rear, trying the windows as she went. He followed more d>9wly. „ “Hire’s a broken pane!” she called cautiously. Joining her, he •'lipped his fingers through the jagged hole, unlocked the sash and pushed it tip. CHAPTER XIX Without waiting for Kelsey’s rather shaky assistance, Hope clambered through the window. Following more slowly, be closed and relocked it. Swaying on his feet, Ke’sey reached out for some support and clutched a table. She was untying the bandage, and he felt her light, cool fingers on his forehead. She moved swiftly away from him, and he heard the sound of running water across the room. “I’m going to wet this handkerchief,” she said, “here at the sink. This is the kitchen.” “Wait!” He got up and made his zig-zag way toward her. "Let me get my head under the faucet.” “Is the cut still bleeding?’ she asked. “No; the blood has clotted on it. It’s only a scratch anyway Ah!” He inhaled deeply and stood upright, brushing the water from his face. “I’m all right now.” “But it’s dangerous drawing water,” jhe said. “They’ll know we’ve been | here.” | -'■'Let it run a little,” she suggested, j “It will look as If it had been left | so a long time.” "That’s so,” he said. "And now we’ve got to plan our next move. I Yqu know this place, the house and grounds. They’ll be here soon, and they’re bound to track us to the house. We’ve got to get out. Is there any way we can throw them off.” “We stay right here. They won’t find us." There was an irrepressible, mischievous bubble in her low laughter. “Leave that to me. I know every Inch of this place. Give me your matches.” “You mustn’t strike a match here.” ' "Not here, of course. But in the closet there. Quick —give them to me. Oh. don't be afraid. I shall close the door." Here, as on their wild drive, she had taken the Initiative, and still protesting, he reluctantly gave her ihe box. She laughed again; and he heard a door open apd close. A moment and she came back. “Good hunting,” she said. “I went after provisions and found a box of crackers and some Jam. My father : comes down here occasionaly for 'ho | duck-shqoting, and I thought some- ! thing might have been left. “Now come with me.” She slipped | her free hand in his, and led him through what seemed to be a dining j room into the hall, and then up a | flight of stairs. Kelsey stopped. "What’s your idea?” jhe asked. “To hide in the attic? That won’t do. They’ll make for that the first thing.” “We re not going to the attic. Come on.” She tugged at his sleeve. "Don’t stand there and argue. I know what I’m doing.” He yielded the point and followed her without remonstrance Into a long, low-celled chamber which he assumed to be directly above the dining-room.

“Now you can rest for a moment,” she said, guiding him Into a chair. “Sit down. And, please, the matches again. Oh,” anticipating his objection, "there will be no light that can be seen from the outside.” His eyes accustomed to the darkness made out a great stone fireplace at one side of the room. She passed it, a light, gliding shadow among shadows, and stood before the wall beyond, in front of an old-fashioned cupboard about two feet above the floor. She stepped into It. There was a tiny spurt of light as she struck a match. By it he saw her kneeling figure close to the dark wood which lined the back of the closet. One finger outstretched. she was tapping the boards rapidly. Counting, was she? The match went out. He heard her Jump down and she came toward him In an airy rush. "Let me tell you,” she forced herself to sober coherency. "This Is an old, old house, built in the early days ofthe Coloniee, when people had to be constantly on guard against the Indians and provide ways of escape. Can you make out that big, old-time chimney where the fireplace is? It runs up from the cellar and there is a fireplace Just like this In the diring-room below, and another back of it in the kitchen, which is in an ell or wing not quite so high as the main house. come* end stays whare it la not V : { needed la a burden, a hlndranoe to activity, a curb upon pleasure, a fc I thief of all that is pretty and grace- f ■ ful and aweet in womankind.

“Tha chimney tapers gradually as It goes up. and so Is narrower on this floor than on the one beneath. That leaves a space on either side of U up here, and the colonists utilized this as a hidden passage by which they could get to the rear of the house If the front was taken, or vice-versa. The entrance on this side is through that cupboard where you saw me. All you have to do Is to slide back two of the boards, and you are Inside. Then by passing around the chimney, you can get out through a simijar opening into the attic of the kitchen wing. Once there, you must crawl across the rafters, drop through a scuttle Into a small room over the kitchen, and from this down a stairway to the woodshed outside. But It will not be necessary for us to all that. We shall simply hide In the passageway until the search Is over.” She took up the crackers and jam from a chair, and going back to the cupboard, stowed them in the aperture. “Now I’ll get some pillows to sit on. We’ll be luxurious.” She gathered them up from a oouoh, and stuffed them also Into the passage. . A thoughi prickled the bubble of his exultation. “But surely this is known all over the neighborhood?” “No,” positively. “My father showed it to me when I was about twelve years old. I had never heard a whisper of it before; and I would have, If It had been gossiped about. The,-servants would have been full of It.” i Through the dead quiet <*f the night they I heard the sound of a motor —

OUR BOARDING HOUSE—By AHERN

THE OLD HOME TOWN—By STANLEY

About S6OO was realized for the benefit of the St. Joseph Hospital on annual tag day at South Bend. Miss Myrtle La Duke, 16, of South Bend was struck and trapped under a street car. The car was stopped Just before the front wheels reached her rdore than one. They went to the window. Along the rough road they had come they saw headlights appoachlng, moons of orange through the fog. There was a stop where their car had crashed. “Hurry! We must hide now,” she urged. He stepped up Into the cupboard, and crept Into the passage behind. She closed the cupboard door and slipped the concealing panel into place. “Sit down on the pillows, and we shan’t make a sound,” she ordered. Heavy thuds on a door below, reverberating through the house. Then tramp of feet and the slamming of other doors. Men were on the stairs now. Passing the chamber door, they went on up another flight to the attic. They came down at last to begin their search of this floor, and now they were In the room. The cupboard door* were jerked open; threads of light streaked through the cracks of the panel. Kelsey and Hope sat motionless, hardly daring to breathe, l:er hand clasped tight In fix. (Continued.
