THE yIcTIa EssSARgD.
Miss Brantner then got into the
buggy and suggested drive to Lake
Washington, but Mrs. Snyder said
that the drive ovsr The Grant street
bridge was the Elurc pleasant, and
asked her If she knew the road. Miss
Brantner said she did not know the
road, but they drove in that direction.
When they came to the woods be-
youd the race-track, about four miles
fron town. Miss Brantner. who had
taken TIE rsins, noticed that her COM
rauiou looked infentiy into the brush
on one side OF the road. She turned
her own gaze In that direction. and 10
her surprise saw q buggy In the brush
In which james Wickersham was
seated, and by the side OF which 9
man whose description answers 10
that Of A. j, Lucas. the private detec-
tive. was standing.
THE TRAP SPRUNG.
Then the girI saw that she had been
trapped. and, in her terror, begged OF
her companion TO take her home. The
road was very narrow at this place,
and at this uiEsaent the other buggy
dashed up on taie side OF the one occtl-
pied By them, so that they could not
possibly turn around
Miss Brantner upraided Mrs. Sny-
der for Der treachery and refused TO
talk 70 Wiekersham, who leaned over
and commenced talking to her. Mrs.
Snyder told her to keep cool, and as
sufed her upon honor and with the
most solemn observations that the
meeting was accidental
Wickersham's companion had in
the meantime been standing at the
head OF the horse driven By the twu
women, and Wickersham nov ad-
dressed him saying Lucas. why
don't sou introduce me to the other
iadygn
THEY KNEW EACH OTHER.
The man addressed then introduced
Wickersham to the Snyder woman
with an air of easy familiarity. and
Wickorsham improved the introduc.
ton by telling Mrs. Snyder TO get out
81 the buggy and give hius room. She
did SO. aud be tool. her place. Miss
Brantner was so frightened that she
offered no objection, and Wiekershanl
sosk the reias and drove away.
Sadie, won's you speak 10 ME p
Nlckershan, as he drove away.
No. sir"
The question was repeated several
/ titnes with the same response, and she
earnestly pleaded with him TO let her
so and "a never see her again.
Wickersham then tarugd 10 bis
friend and Mrs. Snyder, who had been
following. and told them To leave.

This the girl fatty refused TO do. re

sort. He then took another tack and
said he did not care for the trouble

planned that be was the man with

such a statement.
WHAT WHITE wouLp 20.
During all this time he dwelt par
ticnlariy upon the fact that she would
not have to so into court again If shs
would make a retraction concerning
the land matter. as White would drop
the suits If she would only give him
an excuse.

White will settle the matter and then
we will all be out of this trouble.
