‘ BSXIIN HEBE TODAY Lorina Ranger offers a reward of one hundred thousand dollars for the eturn of his missing daughter, Hope. Acting upon instructions from Hope’s abductors. Ranger deposits a hundred thousand dollars' worth of bonds at a specfiied place. Dr. Bristow has a private sanitarium and in it Hope is held a prisoner. Dr. Kersey is detained there because he knows of criminal dealings of Bristow. Hope and Kelsey become friends and together they manage an escape in Bristow’s ear. They ride to an abandoned house owned by Hope’s father. Kelsey falls asleep and Hope hears the voice of Bristow in the yard. Juarez Charlie, adventurer and close friend of Ranger, is trailing Hope to the sanitarium. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H p. RISTOW knows there is a K hiding-place in the house. I am going: to give myself up. Reach my father. Love forever. HOPE.” Witout giving her impulse time to cool, she hurried back to the cupboard and crept into the passage, closing the panel carefully behind her. Kelsey still lay In deep, exhausted sleep. She bent over him, her lips near to his; then drew back, fearing to waken him. Very gently she slipped the note between his relaxed fingers, and then felt her way along the wall until she reached the other exit. Outside at last; And no sign that she had attracted any attention. Shielded by two or three out-build-ings, and concealed by patches of shrubbery, she reached the gap In the hedge. Passing through it, she made a quick detour to the right to muddy her skirt and shoes In the trickle of a brook; and so at last came to the open space where the wrecked automobile lay.

TWO OF THEM CAUGHT HER. She heard the men approaching who had been whistled back from the woods, and began dodging srom tree to tree as if attempting to hide They saw her as she had intended they should. Two of them caught her. She made a show of struggle, but they held her fast by the arms. In answer to their shouts, Bristow and the others came running through the hedge. “Ah!” he said with unctuous satisfaction as if a weight had been suddenly removed from his chest.

WHEN BACK HURTS FLUSH OUT KIDNEYS When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a vmild harmless saltd which to femove the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys.is to filter the blood. In twenty-four hours, they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of good water —you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts, take a tablespoonful in a glass, of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help c-lean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they are no longer a source of irritation, thus often relieving bb*dler weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink, which everyone should take now and then to help keep their kindseys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and* backache. By all means have your physician examine your LOyeys at leapt twit# year.—Adyer-

"Now to get the other one.” His eyes were like points of steel as he came close to Hope. “Where’s Kelsey?” he demanded. She looked at him vacantly. “Who?” “Kelsey,” he repeated, “the man you went away with. Where is he?” “That man? He was under the automobile; there was blood on him.” “Yes, yes. But .what became of him?” She leaned toward him with the air of imparting a confidence. “That man is crazy. He said he wasn’t, but I know better. I wanted him to hj.de in the woods. I know these woods.” She passed her hand uncertainly over her forehead. “I don’t know how I know them, but I do. I wanted him to ijide here, but he wouldn’t do it. He talked about getting a boat down'' on the beach, and when I wouldn’t go with him he ran away.” She waved her hand vaguely toward the shore. Bristow’s eyes bored through her, but she looked beydnd him listlessly indifferent. ' Finally he gave a curt order to havS her taken back to the hospital. CHAPTER XXI Kelsey woke up slowly, draggingly from his long, exhausted sleep and blinked his heavy eyes. "Why, it was daylight! His whole sleep-fogged brain was roused now. Why was the panel open? Ah! There Hope stood on it— No! It was a man. Then he sprang. The man in the opening ducked, and raised an arm to shield himself. “I’m a friend!” he cried, throwing himself against the side of the cupboard. “Honest; you can believe me. A friend of Ranger's.” Kelsey loomed above him, still threatening; but his lowering glance had shifted. What was this he was holding in his clenched hand—that bit of white paper sticking through his fingers, between the spreading knuckles? Juarez Charlie had dodged: and quick as a cat on his feet, stepped from the cupboard into the room. Kelsey had unclosed his hand, and W'as straightening out the paper. He could see that there was something written on It, but the light was too dim and gray for him to decipher It. He was in the room and at the window in two strides. Here he read Hope's message. The rain was dashing against the windowpanes, the wind wailing about the house. The uprushing blood darkened his face. He whirjed savagely, and caught Charily by the shoulder, shaking him hard. “Who are you?” One of their men? Did you help take her?” "I did not,” Charlie wriggled like an cel from that biting grasp and stood rubbing his shoulder.' “I’m one of Ranger’3 men, Juarez Charlie. Do you get that?” He swaggered, his hands in his trousers’ pockets, his head at Its most Impudent angle. “I’ve been wandering about with one-third of a picture-puzzle, trying ta piece the rest out of the air. And you’ve got the other two-thirds. They know that I’ve been in Barcelona. They think you’re drowned." “Drowned? Me?” Kelsey repeated. “In heaven’s name, why?” “She told them you’d made for the shore, and a boat. Then, that terrific storm. Lord! Did you sleep through tfcatV* “I seem to have slept through everything, but my own especial Judgement Day. I’m going through that now.” “But still,” Charlie continued, “there’s always the chance of your being alive and at large. So, everything considered, they’ve got anew situation before them, something they haven't foreseen.” “But, my God; if you’ro what you say you are, one of Ranger’s men, all you hqve to do is to go out now and telephone him and the authorities.” “Oh, is it?” Charlie retorted with acrid sarcasm. "This thing isn’t quite as simple as it sounds. You start out to telephone, and you’ll he nabbed sure.” Half-convinced, Kelsey gave way ungraciously. “What sort of a place is this sanitarium?” The brusque tang of the question gave Kelsey the feeling that Charlie was really heading somewhere, and aroused him from his melancholy abstraction. “Bristow’s?” He looked up. “One of the best in the country. Only for the very rich of course; thoroughly modern, splendidly managed. Bristow is an allienist of the first rank, wit,h a criminal twist and a craze for money.” “What were you doing there?” Kelsey told him briefly of his position as assistant-surgeon, and the circumstances of his detention; of his first experience with Hope and of the role she was playhig; of their sute sequent meetings and the escape. Charlie’s cigaret burned to ashes in his fingers as he listened, his face sharpened down until it was wolfish; but he did not once interrupt the story, or ask a question. “Bristow!” He held up one of his lightning-rolled cigarets, naming it. “But,” squinting thoughtfully, as he laid it on the table, “he couldn’t swing It alone. Too big. Who else is in it?” He shot the quea'.ion at Kelsey like a bullet romf a rapid-fire reovlver. “Miss Copley. She’s a nurse. Looks strikingly like Hope Passes as an older sister in charge of the insane younger one.” N Charlie pursed his mouth in a whistle. “Any one else?” “Higgins. An ex-Alderman. An old millionaire. Made a fortune in Wall Street, they say.” Charlie bounded up with a stifled exclamation, his tongue clicking his teeth. • Hobo Bill! That does, settle it. Hobo Bill! I might have known it.

nurse, a ringer!—l’ve got the whole thing!” CHAPTER XXII “In the first place,” said Charlie, "I’ve known Ranger ever since I was a boy, and when I heard about his little girl, I started out on my own to find her. I know crook psychology better than old Byrnes ever did; but this gang that are holding her fooled me forty ways from the ace. But last night I got a tip that led straight to Bristow’s Sanitarium. “I rode as fast as my motorcycle could race from Westchester to Barcelona, taking all the short cuts. It was on one of them that I came on you two. And so I rushed for a doctor, thinking you were ready to kick iA. and as soon as I reached the village. I got pinched. Sa.l just turned in* .nd went to sleep; that Is, as much as that fierce storm would let me. “But in the meantime, my mascot had got busy. She it was who gave me the lead to Bristow. I’d had dinner with her, and put her back in a bnus with her party. They all went on to spend the evening with some friends, and as they came back about midnight, they stopped at the Lone Hill garagh for some gas. Up steps the garage man’s assistant, a'Bhockheaded lunk, that had driven rrte and my queen to the inn. He was all wittering with excitement, and tells h#r that I’ve been arrested over here at Barcelona. “What’s a headpiece that girl's got. Here's her friends kind of giggling at her for being took In. She don't believe that; for she saw me with Ranger. And Barcelona is the Up she
