cut ana nave cigar.
Augustus was in a mood to adopt any
suggestion that might be made at that
minute; he nodded. gloomily and fol-
lowed Johnny down a staircase into
the open air. And then, in moment,
while they stood In darkness, Johnny
seemed to disappear. Augustus looked
all around for him, and then slowly bit
off the end of his cigar and lighted 1t.
And 1t may be remarked that he must
have looked a very queer figure. indeed
an apparently big, stalwart female, in
gorgeous dress, puffing away at cigar.
He had taken but a few whiffs when
noise behind him attracted his at
tending. Thinking 1t was Johnny, he
turned quickly and glanced up the
staircase; in that position he had his
back to the garden. A moment after
ward the cigar was knocked out Of his
hand, and he was caught in the grip
OF two determined men. one Of whom,
III the hurry and confusion Of the mo-
Inent, actually tripped him up, and de-
posted him on his back. A cloth Of
some kind was thrown over his head,
shutting in language not altogether fit
for the darkness and the silence, and
Mr.. Augustus Bayfield, was lifted clean
of his legs and borne hurriedly
through the garden. Then he found
himself, SO far as he could Judge, de-
posited-kicking and struggling man

the vehicle appeared to drive OF at a
rapid rate.
Now, I'd like to know what the
devil you mean by this!" he cried. saw
agely, squaring himself at a figure he
dimly saw on the opposite seat. The
horees were going at terrific pace
along the quiet road in the darkness.
"My-my dear-I sincerely hope"
began the timid voice Of Mr.. Moody
lVickers.
Don't dear mel" shouted Augustus
you little villain! What do you mean
by dragging me of In this fashion, at
this time Of night?"
Mr.. Vickers. despite his shortsighted-
ness. evidently began to feel afraid
that some dreadful mistake had hap
ipened. ''Im afraid something's
wrong e" he said 81 cant see Won dis.

"Amy- What ON earth do Won mean -"
cried Augustus. "Perhaps you'd like
