Well, waited. BY the quick tearing

However, this last act of defense was
not necessary.
MASTER" cried the postboy, who was
waiting with the chaise-"master, here
be men on horseback, galloping. 1
doubt they are coming after the lady"
Tom Rising stepped to the door and
looked down the road. The day was
already beginning to break. He saw
in the dim light a company of horse
men gallop!ng along the road. 1t was
n bad road. and there had been rain, so
that the horses went heavily. They
were very near. In n few moments
they would be upon him. He looked at
the chnise. He made one moro effort.
"Molly," he said, come down quick.
There Is just time. Let us have no

Again she made no reply. Knife in

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers Of Its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and it's Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper,a farm paper, poultry
paper farm insurance paper and the

he will be found. After the assembly
he goes to the Rose tavern, where he
drinks all night"
"Let some one go to the Rose tavern,
then, and quickly, Captain Crowlc, we
will go to the Crown while inquiries
are made. Gentlemen, there is great
suspicion that IN abominable crime
hath been committed and this young
lady hath been forclbly carried away
for the sake of her fortune. l take
blame to myself for not making sure
that was placing her in her own
chair. This is my business. But ask
your help for the honor of the spa and
the company"
A dozen gentlemen stopped forward
and offered their help and their swords,
If necessary. Among them was Colo
mel Lanyon.
Come, then; let us adjourn to tho
Grown and make inquiries. Be Of good
cheer, captain. We will find out which
way they took. If they have nothing
but the chair to carry her away, we
can easily catch them up"
II know my GIRL" said the captain.
l
| ut is not one man who can daunt her,
nor will dozen men force her to mar
ry against her will. If they try, there
will be murder"
"If we cannot find the way they took,
we must scour the country"
At the gates Of tho garden they learn
cd that the keeper had seen the chair
so out and observed that 1t was closely
followed by a gentleman whom he
could only describe by his height,
which was taller than the average.
Now, Tom Rising was six feet at least.
At the Grown, In Lord Fylingdale's
room, they held brief consultation,
after which the gentlemen who had
volunteered their help went out into
the town to make inquiries.
In u few minutes they began to re-
turn. 1t was ascertained that Tom
Rising was not at his lodging, nor was
he Mt the Rose tavern, nor could he be
found Mt any Of the tayerns used by
gentlemen. This strengthened the sus-
picion against him. Then one rcmcm-
bered the strange words of the early
morning in which Tom Rising had

ately through tho rooms. The whole
company flocked to the doors, where
Lord Fylingdale stood calm and with
captain stamped and cursed the villains
unknown.
He called Molly's chalrmen. What
had those fellows seen? They said that
they were waiting by orders; that an
other chair stood before them ut the

Another discovery was that of the
two men belonging to the chair In
which Molly was carried Off. They
were found in one of the low taverns
by the riverside drinking. One of them
was already too far gone to speak;
the other, with a stronger head was
able to give information, which he was
quite ready to do. A gentleman, he
said. had engaged the chair and had
given them guinea to drink IL they
would suffer him to find his own chair
men. His description of the gentle
man corresponded with that already
furnished. He spoke of tall gentle
man with Il flushed face and rough

more except that two men, strangers
to himself, had taken the chair and
