that was in waiting in front of the ho-

bewildered youth could realize what
was going on. he was thrust forcibly
into the carriage and the door slammed
behind him. Then Mortimer Dill
emerged from the hotel and mounting
the carriage drove swiftly away. leav-
ing the officer standing on the sidewalk.
"What is it," asked the landlord, who
had just emerged from the building.
"What is the trouble with the boy?"
Hes runaway. and his parents have
just come to take him home" replied
the officer with grin.
Strange how boys will run away from
home nowadays" remarked the land
lord. Seems as if they are heap
worse than they were when was
young"
As the carriage rolled rapidly away
Dan Riggsby sprang to the door to open
it, but strong hands drew him back with
a violent jerk, and the voice of Aaron
Suggs Kissed these words in his ear:
IF you make the least attempt to es-

.'In my opinion" remarked Suggs, sit
would be good plan for us to get-that
five thousand in our possession without
delay. Then if anything should turn
up to prevent our getting away with the
balance of the Doodle, we'll have that
much safe"
81 was just thinking of that myself, y
observed Dill. But don't think there
is any necessity for any great expedition
in the matter besides, to show too much
haste might create suspicion, and that is
Just what we wish to avoid. But we'll
hold ourselves in readiness to act quick
ly in case of an emergency"
'That is our best course, suppose, "
said Suggs, and so the matter was al
lowed to rest.
A few days later Horace Bland. the
land agent who had been employed to
negotiate the sale of the Mansfield estate,
called at the Office of Dill and Suggs and
announced that he had found pur-
chaser. and nothing remained to be done
but to sign up the papers. and the price
agreed upon would be paid over in cash.
Mortimer Dill rubbed his hands in
glee, and Aaron Suggs expressed his sat
isfaction by shutting one of his beadlike
eyes and fixing the other on his compan-
ion with look of intense JOY.

1t was with the greatest difficulty that
Mortimer Dill and his two evil associates
succeeded in reaching the shore after
their narrow escape from the floating
timbers which had swept away the car
riage containing Dan Riggsby.
AS soon as they had safely reached the
land they turned with one accord and
looked toward the stream. The wrecked
carriage had been swept from sight, and
only the foam tiecked waters with their
mass of floating debris were visible.
They stood speechless till the mass of
driftwood had disappeared without dis
covering the slightest trace of Dan
Riggsby.

marked Suggs with evident satisfaction.
You are right" agreed Dill. That

AS no trace of Dan Riggsby could be
seen by his abductors. as the broken and
splintered carriage was swept under by
the turbid waters, there was no doubt
in the minds of the evil trio that the
youth had met an instantaneous death.
Dan Riggsby was fully alive to his
peril as he saw the mass of logs and
driftwood swiftly approaching the car
riage. and his first impulse had been to
leap into the stream to avoid the float
ing debris. but second thought con-
WINGED him that should he do so his
captors might construe his action into
an attempt to escape them and take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to fire upon
him. au 49,:
When Suggs and the frightened WON
an leaped from the carriage Dan re-
manned quietly in his seat, but holding
himself in readiness to execute daring
plan which had formed in his mind in
that brief moment of peril.
Mortimer Dill and his companions had
, leaped into the water ON the upper side
of the carriage, and Dan now quickly
opened the curtains on the lower side
and made ready to spring into the stream
when the propermoment arrived. Then
as the floating logs were almost upon
him he leaped downward and disap.
peared beneath the foaming waters. The
next instant there was a loud crash, and
the wrecked vehicle was swept from
sight and carried away in the roaring
flood. r.
When Dan rose to the surface he was
some fifty yards below the place where
the carriage had been standing, and di
rectIy in front of the great mass OF logs
which were running swiftly with the
current.
He only allowed his head to appear
above the water so as to avoid being
seen by his enemies, and as the drift
wood approached he grasped hold OF
huge log and was carried down the
stream.
When he had hoated a sufficient dis
lance to render the movement safe. ht
lifted his head slightly above the log ant
glanced up the stream. He saw Dill
and his two companions, who had nov
reached the shore. standing and gazins
toward him, but making no move to fol

thought it safe to release his hold on tn
log and swim ashore. Then glancin
cautiously at each side of the stream, t
make sure that no one was lurking i
the vicinity, he struck out for land.
But here difficulty presented itself
for he suddenly found that he ha

be returned to the cabin in the woods he
had little doubt, and there be kept as a
prisoner on some pretext till the plans
of the schemers could be carried out.
AS Dan had rightly surmised. it was
the intention of his abductors to take
him to the cabin in the woods from
which he had escaped the day before.
What disposition would be made of him
then remained to be decided upon.
Seated upon the drivers seat of the
carriage, Mortimer Dill urged the horses
forward at brisk trot. After nearly
two hours travel the vehicle was drawn
up on the bank of Drywood creek.
Owing to the recent rains the stream
was greatly swollen and patches of
driftwoOd were running swiftly with the
muddy current.
As Dill stopped the team at the edge
of the stream, Aaron Suggs stuck his
head out of the window and asked:
Whats up?
''The creek" replied Dill. do you
think it is safe to attempt to cross it,
1T looks rather swollen. but think
we can get over all right"
Here goes, them said Dill, starting
the team slowly down the bank.
STEADY. now" he cried as the horses
reached the stream and began to show
signs of being frightened: But the ami
mails plunged forward with such Il
sudden jerk that the inmates of the
vehicle were almost thrown from their
seats. The next instant the foaming
waters were sweeping about the car
riage, threatening to invade the place
occupied by the passengers. N
STEADY, steady" cried Dill, tugging
at the lines, while the excited team tore
through the stream, splashing the water
high in the air.
They had almost reached the middle
of the stream when Suggs, who had been
looking out of the window, uttered an
exclamation of alarm. ..
Quick, Dick" he cried. pointing up
| the stream. 1--WE must get out of this
or We'll be wrecked"
Dill cast startled glance in the direc-
! ton indicated, and saw huge mass of
logs and driftwood approaching swiftly
on the current. He attempted to urge
the horses forward, but they only grew
more frightened, and making sudden
plunge forward broke the traces. In
an instant Dill leaped into the water,
still holding the lines. Suggs quickly
followed his example. while the woman
chung to him. uttering screams of terror.
Quickly he made his way through the
water. which almost swept him from his
feet; and with the frightened woman
clinging to his arm he soon reached
Dill's side. Their movement forward
was not an instant too soon, for at that
very moment the mass of logs that had
been approaching suddenly struck the
carriage with great crash. There was
II sound of breaking tinbers and cry
of terror from Dan; then the splintered
and broken vehicle was swept under and
carried away with the roaring food.
