BEGIN HtKL TODAY lona* Sander offers a reward of •Be hundred thousand dollars for the return of his daughter, Uope, who has beL abducted by a baud of criminals ballad the “Combine.” He receives a letter from the abductors instructing' him where to leave the money. Bonds are deposited according to instructions. Hope is held in a sanitarium conducted by Dr. Bristow and she makes friends with Dr. Kelsey another prisoner. Together they escape, but Hope is reoapturod. Kelsey plans with Juarez Charlie, adventurer and friand of Ranger, to send word of Hope's whereabouts to her father. Alderma . Higgins head of the "Combine, ” tells Bristow that Hope must be killed, Bristow goes to the girl and offers to help her escape. NOW GO ON WITH THE .STORY I AtT T liberty. Quite safe.

"My dear child,” he took her ands again, and spoke with imperave tenderness, “won’t you trust me? am going to take you back to your one. But we must act quickly.

Then come out. will be waiting for you.” The moment he - was out of the )om she began to change into the arments he had brought. She had finished, and was just utting on her nurse’s bonnet and ipe, when he tapped again and enired. “Good girl!” he said approvingly, ad even in his haste, admiringly. The car will be Waiting. Come.” They had turned to the door when flew open, and Anita faced them. Darkly flaming, she slammed the s©r behind her, and stood, her ■normous glances darting from one

able carelessness —most likely from feminine motives of economy—a hat In which I understand a photograph of Miss Ranger was taken, was exchanged for another to be sent to you at this address—a direct clew not to be perverted or-misproved in any possible way.” Anita tottered and for an instant closed her eyes. Her whole bearing and expression altered. With the hot Iron of necessity she seemed to have smoothed out every wrinkle of passion. She stood before him, her superior, the respectful, composed nurse. “You’re right Dr. Bristow. I forgot myself. I apologize. Byt I don’t believe you want me to go back on duty or even remain in the hospital under the circumstances. “If you will pay me what you'owe me,” with a glance that Bristow rightly interpreted as meaning that she demanded a heavy stake, “I will leave at once." His lips drew back showing the edge of his teeth. ' “You are asking me to assist in your escape—the nurse who fooled me into believing Miss Ranger to be her sister, who has imposed this perhaps ineffaceable blot on my hospital?” He spoke indignation. She took all this as mere preamble. He was talking for effect, showing her the line lie meant to follow and strengthening his position with the girl at the syroe time. "I know. I know, Doctor. But ycu don’t altogether understand, I have been a tool, an unwilling tool—a tool of Higgins.” “You can go down and get your week’s salary from the cashier.” He spoke with curt finality. “Further ''than that, I refuso to compromise with you.” The answer stunned her, overtaxed her carefully maintained repression. "My week’s salary? Doctor, I’ll need money. It’s too late to do anything In town, and I can’t cash a check for a sufficient amount In the village. You always keep from five to ten thousand here In the safe, and I must have it.” She waited. His face was like flint, his eyes stone cold. It frightened her, and she cast her reserve to the wind. “You couldn't leave me here—with Higgins? For your own sake, you couldn’t. He’ll get off. He’s got pull. But I —I —” She folded her arms. “You don’t dare.” , “You will have a hard time implicating me in any of your criminal performances,” he said haughtily. “The fact thsft as soon as I learned of Miss Ranger’s 'dentlty, f took steps to return her to her parents, exoneme..” She sought through her memory for some threat to hold over him. “Kejsey?” she said suddenly. “It’s not certain that he's drowned. Suppose he turns up?” “Dr. Kelsey ha turned up,” he replied coolly. is alive and safe. I am happy to say, and I have been if communication with him. I owe the dear fellow all the amends I can make him. Another score against you. Miss Copley; I have you to thank for those doctored records that induced me to hold Mm here as a patient. One more reason,” sternly, “why I cannot connive at your proposed getaway.' Kelsey alive, and on terms with Bristow? Sne was past defiance now. “You'll sacrifice me. You’ll trample me In the mud? You mean it? You really mean it?” she muttered. “Come,” Bristow said to Hope, and took her hand. 4

Anita stiffened. She flung her arms out across the door, barring the way. “Move aside!” Bristow commanded. There was a brief, sharp struggle between them. She felt herself glviing way before his greater strength. “Harvey!” She was sobbing. “You wouldn’t do It! You wouldn’t. Not after all we have been to each other.” He sh(it his teeth and made another and more suecessfuly effort to pull her from the door. She thrust her hand in her pocket, and jerking out the hypodermic syringe she had brought for Hope, jabbed at him with it. He threw himself sidewalys and shifted his grip to catch her by * the arms. She wrested the right one free, and reaching over his shoulder, struck wildly at the back of his neck. Suddenly he crumpled, fell heavily against her and slipped through her arms to the floor. By one chance out of a hundred she had driven the needle into the base of his brain. She was on her knees beside him, thrusting her hand through his waistcoat to his breast. “He's dead!” she gasped., She had lifted his head on her other arm. Now, as she withdrew It, she saw a fleck or, two of blood on her starched, white sleeve. She looked ffom It to the hypodermic which had fallen to the floor and understood. CHAPTER XXVIII * • During the struggle, Hope had shrunk back. TJien at Its appalling climax she stood motionless, living through a cycle In a Becond. Hope’s one idea now was flight. She started for the door. The movement, light as it was, aroused Anita. She rose to her knees and the bunch of keys at her belt. "You forget it’s locked!” She looked at the girl-v.dth such burning hatred, such evil ir tent, that a chill ran down Hope’s spine. Anita, mad to batter her, trample her, mar the beauty which she believed had taken Bnstow from her, made a rush, her hands crooked like claws tear thie girl’s face. Hope caught her wrists and forced them down. She bent herself to the task of holding the mad woman off, to eluding her wild onslaughts, and slipping away from her crushing grasp, rather than to close with her and make It a test of relative strength. They were near the bed, and Hope seeing this did not step aside, but took the nurse by su'ffcrise, cannonading into her w r ith such force that Anita rocked, her heels Shot out, and she fell backward across the mattress. In a second Hope was on top of her, dragging her arms together, hold-

She managed to jerk the counterpane free, and with’ the woman struggled furiously, wound it around Anita’s bod}', binding down her arms. She begah to scream, and Hope stuffed the end of the spread In her mouth. It was an effectual gag. She tore a sheet into strips, and with them securely tied Anita’s hands and ankles. This accomplished, she stood up. She was surprised to find herself suddenly cool and determined. She bent over Anita and detached the keys from her belt. Then with rapid fingers she fastened up her fallen hair, and picking up the bonnet which Anita had snatched from her head in the struggle.,straightened it out and put it on. Without a shudder she stooped and dragged Bristow’s body from the door, found the right key and walked out, locking the door behind and putting the key In her pocket. A glance showed her that the corridor was empty, and she walked toward the- stairs. She was half-way down the stairs when a nurse came running up from the hall below. The woman stopped at the landing and waited for her.
