CHAPTER XVIII.

THE RAID ON DE WERE GARDENS.
Brett passed busy day. He had inn
portant business to transact at the adj
miralty, and there were other matters
that claimed his immediate attention.
It was evening before he was again at
De We're Gardens.
There he found a note awaiting him
from Mr.. Fenton, hastily soribbled and
folded:
Inclosed wire received this afternoon. Am
going at once to Minchenhampton. Please
aleep here. Will wire you.
Brett hastily unfolded the inclosed
telegram and read:
In the hospital at Minchenhampton. Only
slight accident. Please come. MABEL
The words danced before Brett's eyes.
He could only grasp one fact-that Ma
bel was still alive.
.sThank God for thatp' he cried.
And then the thought came that per-
haps, after all, she was severely hurt.
True, she said it was only slight acct
dent, but might that not only have been
intended to break the news? And how
did she get there, and where was this
place?
He hastily consulted Bradshaw, found
that the nearest station was Brins-
combe, and that the last train left Pad
dington at 20 minutes past s Thsre
was nothing for it bnt to wait till
morning for hfr Fen:on's wire. 4

THE ABDUCTION OF MABEL FENToN

THE ABDUCTION OF MABEL FENTON.
About 8 o'clock in the afternoon a
cab drove up to the door and sharp
ring followed.
''Miss Fenton in?'' said tall. lanky
man in hurried tone.
"Yes, SIR
The man entered.
"No name-she does not know me.

portant.
He was shown into the library, and
few minutes later Mabel entered.

ingly.
"Yes."

The policeman drew his truncheon
and moved forward. A manservant was
hesitating at the bottom of the stairs
and higher up group OF afrighted wo-
men were huddled together.
At that moment the door of the din
ing room opened and Fitzgerald appear
ed. He. had heard noises and become
alarmed, particularly SO as Gates had
not returned. In one hand he carried a
bag and in the other he held life pre-

lantern straight into his face, binding
him for the moment, and in the next

for he was still game, but the officer
and the footman managed to hold him
down and finally. handcuf him.

The terrible anxiety of the past few
weeks was telling severely ON Mabel,
and today Brett noticed with alarm how

Brett could only kneel at her side and
