~D THE WEASEL took up a |) position behind them. He iabbed his gun into Joe's back. “Forward, march,” he commanded At the running-board of the Ford he halted them. Pushing them yzide but still keeping them covered, he got in and clambered heavilv over the front seat into the domain of the chocolates, caramels, bonbons, and confections. Youse git in now,” he ordered. Kelly and Joe obeyed. The Weasel sat down on a wodden box and let the muzzle of his gun tickle the back of Joe's neck. Now.” he said, with utter composure, ‘vouse is gonna drive me y Canada Kelly beat Joe to the punch. Canada?” she cried. Yup,” said the Weasle dispasnately. “Canada.” But I can’t go to Candada,” said dismaved. ‘I've got a very tant date in Boston.” Sorry, lady,” said the Weasel t you ain’t goin’ to Boston. Dat | rg ain't healthy fer me right now Joe 7of in a word. Are you summering in Canada?” he asked, with withering sarcasm. Mebbe,” said the Weasel noncommittally. He pressed the gun | harder against Joe's neck. “Step | on it, buddy. An’ don't try no tricks. When we gotta git gas, you in da car an’ let da fillin’ tation guy fill her up. An’ I'll tell vou da roads. I know ‘em, = ” » ACK on the main road Joe I headed the car in a direction away from Boston at the Weasels | command. “Why,” he inquried, "are pou going to Canada?” “I'm goin’ to Canada,” the Weasel told him, with amazing frankness, “because the U. S. ain't no place for me just now If youse has got to know, I stuck up a bank dis morn- | ing.” { I'he Norfh Colliston Bank?” asked Kelly quickly “Dat’s da crib, lady | Then you're practically a financier,” said Joe. "You ought to pay for the gas and oil for the trip.” Sure,” said the Weasel affably “Any objections,” Kelly asked, if 1 get out and hitch hike to Boston? YQou see, I was going to be married.” Ain't you married to dis guy?” gaid the Weasel in some surprise. “Not vet,” said Joe. “But she's hopes.” I'he Weasel took Kelly's case under advisement, went into a huddle with himself and presently came to a decision

From the! car he commanded the proprietor to bring forth a feast. The proprietor obeved. The feast con-| sisted of hot dogs and soda pop, and the Weasel received these comestibles into the back of the car | “Drive on,” he said to Joe Half a mile farther aiong he ordered him to turn off on a side nd stop.

And Kelly did. The Ford rolled easily over the wide smooth highway. The steady drone of the motor was soothing. Presently her eyes closed. Her head turned a little to one side.
