He soon discovered that his driver
had chosen far from delectable route
to the hotel--true, 1t might be short
er, but he could not remember ever
having heard of a Jehu ready to cut
down the length of his journey when
he had good paying fare inside.
The marquis experienced the hrst
little sensation of alarm, or, rather
uneasiness, just then. His curiosity
having been aroused, the marquis found
means to look out of the vehicle, and
was not greatly surprised when he dis
covered that an unknown man sat be-
side the driver.
Before now he had known that
some one was riding behind, having
heard various thumps that gave the
secret away, and once upon twisting
HIS head around he had fleeting
glimpse of a human eye glued to the
little glass in the back canopy of the
vehicle.
A very pleasant outlook, really.
Being philosophical man to
marked degree, the marquis at once
set to work pooling his resources, SO
as to make as game stand as the &C.
casion would admit
He remained perfectly cool and SELF
possessed-when a man had passed.
through such astonishing adventures
as had fallen to his lot of late years
he is hardly likely to show the white
feather because forsooth few London
blackmailers and footpads conspire 10
entrap him.
He gathered his energies together
and watching his chance, quietly OPEN
ed the door to the left, intending TO
drop out without attracting the atten-
ton of the two cronies upon the seat.
A very clever little idea, and one
that might have worked to beauti-
full issue only for one thing-he had
forgotten the fellow who was riding In
the rear Of the "growler."
The marquis. with an agility he had
acquired from long years OF athleuc
practice, had successfully made the
drop and was in hopes that his move
had not been seen, when the thiru
party leaped from behind the vehicle,
and. throwing himself upon the hall
recumbent passenger, sounded the
alarm.

CHAPTER XVIII.
In Due Time.

No doubt the Kilkenny cats had a
very salubrious time of it when they
INDUCED in their little engagement,
but such an encounter could not bear
comparison with the scramble in
which the marquis engaged when
these three London footpads set upon
him.
The fellow on his back was interior
ing with his blows as much as he pos
sibly could, and as a result the others
were enabled to throw themselves
upon him.
Matters were in this mixed-up state
and the final result in doubt, when
new element was precipitated into the
game
An outsider hurled himself upon the
struggling mass, and by an exercise
of tremendous muscular strength tore
the man loose from the gentlemans
shoulders, though he chung with such
pertinacity that he carried away the
collar Of the marquis coat.
The newcomer gave him toss that
sent him down nearby area, where
a crash of glass and startled screams
announced his prompt arrival.
Then this unexpected ally turned
his attention to the others-the mar
quis, freed from his tormentor in the
rear, had opened his batteries upon
them afresh, and was dealing out his
blows with rockies abandon, when he
saw one of them snatched bodily from
his feet and tossed through the open
door of the four-wheeler as though
he might have been a mere sack of
oats.
Upon this the last of the trio, who
proved to be no other than the driver,
uttered yell of fear and, scrambling
in haste to his seat, laid the whip on
his horse and clattered down the mar
row street.
Thus the field was suddenly cleared
of enemies in double-quick order, and
the manner of their disposal seemed
to greatly amuse the muscular, red
bearded giant who had come so OPP
portunelY to the assistance Of the be-
leaguered marquis, for he roared with
laughter.
Gang ava wi we bath, and dinna'
forget the puir dell who lies in
muckle yondsr. Man, they we're MAR
than We could weel handle, but it did
me good to be of assistance to ye, and
that's no lee," he exclaimed, assisting
to brush the gentleman off.
The marquis at sound of his voice
was stunned, but he recovered in time
to cry out:
Donald McGregor. by my life 1t is"
"Aweel, ye seem to know me, sir,
though l confess the honor is all on
your side. Still, there is something
familiar in your voice dinna ken-its
vera curious"
The marquis by this time had man
aged to get hold of his honest hand,
and was squeezing it with much emo
lion.
"Ah, McGregor. you're always doing
something for others. The last saw
OF you, my dear fellow. was when Of
fered myself as a target for Captain
Livermore's bullet, and declined to
murder him afterward."
The man from Scotia uttered roar,
and insisted upon embracing the other,
much to the amusement OF the crowd
that had gathered

CHAPTER Xxx.
How Fedora Heard.

IIOW
The Livermores had vanished from
the sphere which they had for some
years adorned, but it was no mystery
to the marquis, who had kept track
of their movements through those who
served him well.

An exciting runaway occurred on
Main street Tuseday afternoon, when
the street was filled with vehicles of
all kinds. A team of horses belong
ing 10 NJ. NJ. Gorham were hitched to
a post in front of Watson & Bancroft's
store, when they became frightened
and began to run. The post to which
they We're hitched, supported large

bottom, and the frightened animal.

run up Main street A half dozen
vehicles We're struck, but no serious
damage was done. One express wagon

frightened horses in the street at the
time of the accident and it is wonder
that some them did not run away.

name. who travel in groups of 12 or 10.
visit fruit ranches where they think.
the OWNERS are temporarily absent,
steal everything they can get hold
of. tearing limbs off the fruit trees
and tramping down bushes. This
gang of boys seems TO be well organ
lied and even quit well armed. A
few evenings ago shots were ex-
changed between them and one of the
residents of the Park. The fruit
growers are very indignant and there
is strong talk of turning the whole
gang over 10 the district attorney.
We would advise those boys" tsome
seem 10 be rather old looking for
boysl not to become too bold, and
force us to severe measures.
