THE SETTING OF THE TRAP.

"Haavens!' cried Tom, she didn't take
her on the street,"
Eyes. that's what he did" replied the
chiefs assistant.

him to do that He might have been
seen by the parties who abducted her."
Il don't think they were. He ran her
upto the next corner and caught the cab
there. and was off in a jiffy. They at

Il can't; the stairs are enclosed and
the door locked, replied the Shadow.
Il had forgotten that, said Tom.

"Oh, you didn't. You simply took
care of her after abduction"
This time Tom had hit the truth
squarely, and the mans face showed it.
"Who was the man who hired your"
Scar Top Johnny regarded Tom with
a contemptuous sneer.
SWELL" said Tom, ''you can answer or
not as you please. We can wait for the
half-past ten man. He'll tell"
The face of Scar Top Johnny Lit up
with passing thought, and an express
sion of resolve passed over it.
Tom interpreted it accurately, but be-
fore he could act upon it, the Shadow
gave warning of another conner, and a
foot was heard stumbling in the dark
ness.
The chief, however, had also penetrat-
ed the purpose of his prisoner, and press
ing the muzzle Of his revolver against
Scar Top Johnny's head, he said:
'If you utter a cry, or make an alarm,
I'll blow your brains out. The reward is
dead or alive.
The next moment there was knock
at the door.
Tom, who was closely watching the
face of the villain on the floor, saw an
expression of surprise fit over it, and
saw him turn his head toward the door
with look of curiosity.
The chief called out in loud voice:
"Enter!''
The door swung open and in walked

was in his bed the next morning, that
he realized that no one, not even Annie
herself, seemed to think it strange that
Holbrook should have Rugged and kissed
her in the frantic manner he did.
At the time he was too busy. His
mind was working with abnormal ac-
tivity.
"We must get the girl out at once, "
he said. "Here, Holbrook, stop that
nonsense and take the girl away"
"How?" asked Holbrook, ready for
action. now that the first excitement was
over.
"Up through the skylight. Quick,
now"
"But how can we get her up there?"
asked the Shadow.
81 know" broke in Annie. Take
that bed away"
The bed was tossed on one side, while
Annie ran into the next room and began
to drag the table toward the room.
One of the men took it from her and
carried it in, and as she directed placed
it under the skylight.
There's a chair in there" she said;
"bring that"
They comprehended her purpose and
it was placed on the table.
Cup you go. Holbrook." cried Tom.
"Quick!'
Holbrook climbed like cat and was
on the roof in twinkling.
Tom lifted Annie by main force to the
top of the table and then on to the chair
springing up on the table after her.
He lifted the girl up by the waist so
that Holbrook could get firm grasp Of
her arms.
She was then drawn up on the roof.
"Now, Holbrook," cried Tom, away
with you. Quick! Get the girl out of
harms way as soon as you can. One of
you," he continued, turning to the chiefs
men, 'go with them to protect them.
Shadow, run down to the chief and tell
him to come up here the way we came
with the rest of his men. | have an
idea
The Shadow disappeared.
Tom was the general commanding the
forces, and he did have an idea-a great
idea.
He seized the candle and made rapid
examination of the rooms. He satisfied
himself as to how those who came would
enter, and he quickly determined how to
dispose of his forces Finding the doors

Not by long shot,"

said Tom. land don't let him utter a
sound. Gag him. Then we'll make
sure"
He was obeyed. The man attempted
to make resistance, but he was quickly
overpowered and forced into the other
room, where the gag was applied.
Fountain looked upon the scene with
undisguised amazement. Tom waited
for him to speak. Finally, having re-
covered from his establishment, he said
MAY l ask the meaning of this strange
scene, Mr.. Bryant"
MAY ask the meaning of this strange
disguise, Mr.. Fountain" retorted Tom,
pointing to his clothes
Fountain blushed, but did not reply.
Il will relieve your establishment"
continued Tom sternly, after moments
silence. This is rescuing party.
These men are detectives. A girl was
abducted in broad daylight this morning
and confined here. She has just been
taken away, having been rescued by my
self and friends. Her name, Mr.. Foun-
tain, is Annie Templeton-a sister of the
murdered Templeton."
Fountains face expressed neither
alarm nor fright, nor anything else but
intense surprise and interest.
I'VE are now waiting for the abduc-
tor" added Tom.
IF that's the case, Mr.. Bryan, it were
better that | retire
He turned to go to the door.
Tom made a sign to the two detectives.
They stepped forward.
Pardon me, Mr.. Fountain, you can
not do that. All who enter here are I'M

Light broke in on Fountain, and with
it intense anger. He turned on Tom, his
eyes blazing.
IL under arrest? You'll find that
am not to be trifled with
Tom interrupted him in a hard, cold,
metallic voice, low in tone:
No heroics, Mr.. Fountain. You are
my prisoner until you can explain your
presence here in this den, on this partic-
ular night. You can brighten no one
here: we're used to just such naughty
scoundrels as you are, just as we are to
vicious rascals like the one lying in
there. He's twice as dangerous as you
can ever be-
The cold self possession and master
fulness of Tom was irritating in the
highest degree to Fountain. and if ever
his boosted self command was needed
by him it was at that moment. Appear
ances We're so strongly against him that,
angered as he was, he could not fail to
realize it.
By a violent effort he put curb upon
his passion, and in a moment he said:
"You think am the abductor?''
IL don't think it; I'm certain of it,"
"You are mistaken" This was said in
a tone as cold and as firm as that Tom
had used.
Indeed" said Tom. Perhaps you
can explain this enigmatical note"
He handed to Fountain the slip of
paper which had been taken from the
pocket of Scar Top Johnny.
Fountain read it and handed it back to
Tom.
II know nothing of it"
Tom was somewhat dumfounded.
