said he was going up Caldwell'saRun as
far as the toll gate. One Of the girls
knew the young man, but did not know
his name. She only knew that his first
name was Harry.

him, and he drove of up the road.

tremity of the city was reached, the
girls wanted 70 turn back, but be said

60, aud persuaded them 70 remain In
the buggy. A road known
as Left Hand road" forks
of at the toll gate, and the
young man drove up in the direction OF
the white school house" about two
miles from the city. On the way up,
man crossed the road in front Of the
horse, and put up his haRd to prevent
thr horse from striking him. The young

out a revolver and said:
"If he touches that horse, I'll shoot
him"

showed to the girls. When the school

ks OF the road, the girls again
Otested against going farther, and
anted TO 90 get out and 90 back. He
aft them both out, and they started to
walk In the direction OF the city. He
Nsat In the buggy and when they had
gone a short distance, hailed them and
started back after them on foot. The
Bowman girl ran, but Ola sank
70 the ground through fright.
When he reached her, he threatened 70
shoot her II she did not get up and help
him TO hunt for his horse, which, in the
meantime, had strayed of. Ola arose
and started Of With him, while the
Bowman girl came back 70 the city.
She went at once 20 the home OF Ola's
parents, reaching there about ten
o'clock, and notified them OF the cir
