"THE CAPTAIN OF THE GANG"
Mrs. Conway screamed and shrieked
and went into Mysteries when she had half
finished the letter. Her cries filed the
house with neighbors in q few seconds.
Somebody went down town on wild
run for Mr. Conway. The father was not
told of the trouble until he got home.
Then the letter was shown to him. He
stood the awfu strain Remarkably we'll,
but glanced at the letter long enough to
catch the drift of IL. Then he devoted his
attention to his wife. She was finally
quoted and pat to bed under the care of
Il physician.

the matter at police headquarters. Con-

and handed TO him. Along with it was
another package, IL dummy one, contain

The friend with the dummy package
left Albany on his lonely walk at 7

the field of waving wheat on the opposite
side of the road from the big hollow tree.
The package was deposited as directed,
and then the man turned back towards
town. There was absolutely no sign of
kidnappers. The police waited TO- hours,
but got no trace of them. A search was
made of the surrounding country But
tbi:', too, was without success. Then
the news of the abduction was made pub
