BEGIN HERE TODAY Hope Ranger is missing- after eating luncheon with friends at the Plaza. Loring Ranger offers a reward of one hundred thousand dollars for the return of his daughter. Hope is a prisoner in the sanitarium of Dr. Bristow.| Dr. George Kelsey also U detained there because he knows of criminal transactions of Bristow. Hope and Kelsey manage to escape in Bristow's car. They drive to an abandoned house. Kelsey falls asleep and Hope hears Bristow’s voice in the yard and knows they have been followed. Hope surrenders to Bristow and tells him that Kelsey has abandoned her. When Kelsey awakens he finds Juarez Charlie, adventurer and close friend of Ranger, in the room with him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY M ~TJOW this is where you sit up ,'0 I and listen.” Charlie tapped Kelsey twice on the chest with a hortatory fore-finger. "While I was eating breakfast, an unexpected caller dropped in to the jail to see me, an old bird that I sized up for a doctor. I win He is one, named Creamer, the original man who wandered all around Robin Hood’s barn. But what I made out of it was, that my maneating constable had got word to him about your accident, and Creamei’d doddered off to the scene of disaster about three hours Jate. "There he finds Bristow, who has recovered from a desperate attack made up him by a violent homicidal maniac. That's you. “Well, of course Creamer had to get all the grewsome facts; and then he remembered —he’s Main Street’s walking historical society—that this place, the pld Rose house he called It, had some nook built into it, where in the cheery, old times the family used to hide when the Indians wanted to put a kick In their parties by having a friendly little massacre of the palefaces. "That sets Bristow afire. He’s all for findipg it, when just then the girl turns up. No doubt but what she’s been trailing around through the woods; her skirt and shoes were wet and muddy.
“BEAT IT FOR THE FAR WEST OR HAVE YOUR THROAT SLIT.” “Creamer says, you stole a boat and got off, and must have capsized in the storm. Several . boats were found adrift this morning, two of them bottom up. “The minute that Frank Bryan came in I saw that he was in bad shape. He’s a cold fish, and I couldn’t flatter myself that he had worried to skin and bones overnight about my fix. I’d been nursing a hunch about him for some time, though, and this looked like a moment to put the screws on him. It worked. “There he sat. shaking and crying, calling himself bad names and muttering about suicide. “I told him that was all right; go

td it. But first, tell me what he knew. Little by little, I got it out of him.” Charlie's thin mouth clamped. “Kelsey, he was in on that damned abduction.” “What?” Kelsey cried. “Mr. Ranger’s private secretary?” “Yes; just that. Yet Frank’s not bad, nor is he particularly weak, either. Frank Was- caught with all four feet in a trp,p. He’s the good young man, With the bad younger brother. "The Combine —that’s the gang that’s got Hope—needed him; so they framed the brother, which wasn’t hard to do as the goods on turn were there to get. Then they closed down on Frank. He was told that all they wanted was fifty thousand dollars, which Ranger would never miss, and the girl would be held in comfort until it was paid. If Frank didn’t care to assist, brother would go to Sing Sing for thirty or forty years. Frank caved. Some dope was slipped into Hope's icecream soda while she and every one else in that fruit shop was watching a row in front of the cashier’s desk. And when she walked out, the drug was beginning to work. She was growing groggy, and naturally when Bryan came forward she let him help her into the limousine at the 'curb.” ‘‘But I still don’t see—” Kelsey had followed every word, his brow growing more furrowed as Charlie w'ent on. “How could they know that she would go Into the shop, and order the soda?” “They didn’t. But a thing like that wasn’t pulled off In a hurry. They had an inside man, Bryan says, named Fitch, whose business it was to find out about Hope’s movements, and tip them off when she was to be out alone. Then they were ready to spring any one of half a dozen schemes, whichever was the best under the circumstances. “Well, to go back, 1 told Frank about the escape, and them getting her again: and he said it was funny, if the girl really was Hope, that she didn’t make for the hiding-place in the old house, instead of taking to the woods. I got keyed up then, and he tells me all about it. Ranger had showed it to him once, when they were down here together. Then he falls to moaning and sobbing again, and I tell him thjat I am going to get the girl, but I don’t want Ranger in on It yet; and if he’ll keep his mouth shut about what he knows. I’ll padlock mine about him. Silence for silence. “Just.as we were stepping out into the blessed sunlight of freedom—only it was raining—my eye fell on a high board fence across the street from the hoose-gow, and there, U'esized and prominent, a glad message of ‘Welcome to Our City,’ stares back at me. It’s chalked up in hobo language; and let me tell you, that he who read was verjr apt to run. It said: “Beat it for the Far West at once, or you’ll have your throat silt.” “There was a nice little knot of on-lookers there, waiting to see the prisoner shako-off his chains, and I knew the Combine would have some innocent bystander on hand to make sure I got the friendly word. So I fell over against Bryan, acting scared to death, and a minute later told 81monds that he wouldn’t see me again in these parts, as I was off for sunny California, and Intended to stay there. “Then I went with Bryan to the train, checked my motorcycle to New York, rode up the line for three stations, hopped a freight back again, dropped off, and making my way through these rain-soaked woods, sneaked into the house.
“Ix>ok here. Kelsey, is there one human soul in that hospital you can trust, or think you can?” Kelsey reflected. “Morton,” he said, “the house physician. T could trust him. If we were able to convince him that Bristow Is crooked.” “We’ve got to get him here then, without his knowing who we are; and I'll undertake to convince him. You see. we must have someone Inside the place who'll find out for us what they’re planning. Think hard. Kelsey; what will bring him here? Some girl he Is interested in?” Kelsey dismissed this, palms down. “That wouldn’t him; science is ajl he cares for. Wait a minute.” a light flashed over his face. “I helped him write a letter to one of the medical Journals, rebutting the statements in an article by a Dr. Jonas Crayshaw. He was tremendously worked up about it. Why couldn’t we get word to him that Dr. Crayshaw Is down here writing an answer, and would like to have a talk with him?” “Great!” Charlie thumped Kelsey between the shoulders. “I’ll take a chance and sneak out to the nearest farmhouse, and telephone him in the character of Dr. Crayshaw. asking him not to mention my presence here to any one as I am working against time and mu3t have seclusion.” “But It’s dangerous for you to show yourself around here,” Kelsey said. “Maybe, I —?” “I’ll show just as little of myself as possible, believe me,” Charlie answered. “And if I don't come back, you’d better just lie low here until night, and then try to reach Ranger." He paused, and ran his hands through his hair. “I don’t know but what I'd better caU up Lorry after all.” He wavered. “We've got to have money. Morton may need It in the hospital to buy a spy or so. Lord! I hate it. Lorry might queer everything.” Kelsey gave a little jump, and smiled for the first time. "Don't let the lack of funds worry you.” he said; and drew from his pocket the package of bonds, spreading them fan-wise on the table. “A hundred thousand dollars!” Charlie gaped at them. “Jumping Jehosophat! Why, It’s Ranger's ransom money. Where did you get it?” Kelsey told him. Charlie Jigging the while and cutting fantastic pig-eon-wings. When Hope drove through the hospital grounds and walked between iwo men up the steps, down which she had flown a few hours before palpitating with her splendid dreams of Jp-eedom, she was hardly conscious t>f vn'e ignominous contrast. Anita Copley met her in the hall, and In that full sur-

veyed her gloatingly, a cruel sweeping glance that took In th& girl from head to foot. She caught Hope by the arm and led her upstairs to her room, thrust, ing her in through the door before her. Hope tottered to a chair and fell into it. “Come, get undressed," Anita ordered. Hope twisted petulantly, and let her head fall back again. But Miss Copley caught her by the wrist and Jerked her to her feet. Whimpering, Hope rubbed her arm. “So dark In the woods," she sighed. "We walked and walked, and ran and ran. Hope lay down docilely, and almost immediately seemed to fall asleep. Anita, after lowering the light, seated herself where she could keep her eyes on both her charge and the door. She sat upright, nerves and muscles rigid, listening for somfe activity below. Once she rose precipitately and stepping softly past Hope’s bed, opened the door and listened. Coming back,‘she took up the same waiting attitude, and pressed her hand distractedly to her temples. Over an hour, surely almost two, must have passed; and they had not brought Kelsey buck. At last the woman could bear her vigil no longer.
