CHAPTER xXxII.
The Lone House on the Moor.

Olive had not gone dozen yards
from the car in her attempt to escape
from Merridew when she discovered,
to her intense dismay, that she had
made one most disastrou nliscalcula-
tion. Her brain had cleared from the
effects OF the drug, but her muscles
were still under its influence.
Her limbs were like lead. and only
with the greatest effort could she even
move at walking pace. She stag
gered to and fro like one in drink,
stumbled heavily, and more than once
nearly fell to the ground.
Usually active and able to run at a
great pace, she was the more discon-
certed by this strange, paralyzing
weakness. With all her soul she pray
ed for her strength to be restored to
her that she might make good her
escape from her enemy. But in vain,
and as the effort to keep moving grew
more and more painful ard difficult,
she realized that her only chance now
lay in her finding some place where
she could hide,
Eagerly her eyes sought to pierce
tho darkness, as she stood a moment,
her numbed limbs trembling as With
an ague and threatening every instant
to give way under her. She could
make out no spot that offered even the
remotest hope OF shelter, and then,
to her profound alarm, she heard a
cry In the distance and the sound of
hurrying footsteps.
Merridew had evidently discovered
her flight and had started in pursuit.
With a groan Of despair she dragged
herself heavily to the side OF the lane
and threw herself at full length under
the hedge In the hope that ne would
pass without seeing her.
! AS she had hoped, SO 1t happened.
He came running through the night,
casting his eyes from side to side, and
her heart beat with rapid, lurchins
throbs as he approached. she even
held her breath In suspense and Tear.
He passed without seeing her, and soon
had disappeared into the night beyond.
But lie was no fool to think she had
Travelled far. He knew that tho drug
which had been given her would AFFECT
her power of movement, and When ne
had run as far as he thought 1T pos
sible for her to have gone he turned
and came back at more leisurely
| pace. 81

began to breathe freely. She had In
dead escaped. and with ferven'
thought of gratitude size rose and stag
gered on. seeking some break IN the
tall hedges on either side OF the lane
by which she could get into tho adj
Joining folds.
+, For a time the darkness completely
banled her. but at length she came tc

gradually Olive began to understand.
The muffled drums resolved themselves
into the whirr OF fast running wheels:
the blackness was relieved by myriad
points OF light overhead; the Icy
blasts became the rush of the night air
as she was carried rapidly through 1t
She tried to move and found that
she. was enveloped in heavy rugs and
shawls; and at length became aware
that she was lying at full length in
the tonneau OF a car, travelling at high
speed, under the guidance of man
whose head and shoulders she could
Just make out In the seat In front.
For an hour or more she lay as still
as she had been while unconscious,
and slowly battled her way back to
her full senses.
She. soon realized that she had been
drugged in order that she might be
safely carried away from Mr.. Taun-
tons house; and almost her first con-
scious thought was that. she must try
to use the time TO escape.
While they were rushing along at
such speed, 1t was impossible; and

and Olive recognized the voice. 1t was
Gilbert Merridew. He turned and
looked at her, bending over the seat.
She lay as still as death. Satisfied with
his scrutiny, he got out Of the car to
see what was the. matter
This was the chance she had prayed
for.
stealthily putting aside the rugs, she
peered out and saw that Merridew was
bending down over the machinery IN
front. Opening the door on the side
opposite to that on which he was busy,
she sprang out and rushed off into the
darkness.

TOKYO TO REFERENCE
Financial Programme Was Out lined al a Conference
 Today.

Tokio, Dec. 1.-The financial pro- gramme already outlined in The As' sociated Press cables was formally settled at the meeting of the council of the elder statesmen yesterday The programme is one of retrenchment and involves a reduction in the eX- penses of the army and navy for the next six years whereby the govern ment will save $200,000,000 It also means the postponement of certain government undertakings. The cur tailments in connection with the ln- creases in the taxes on sugar, sake oil and tobacco are calculated to wipe out the deficiency of the coming year It is understood that the leaders oi all parties have agreed upon the pro- gramme but members of the opposi' tion supported by some of the news papers are preparing for a vigorous fight against it in the introduction il the Diet.

PERSIA SPEAKS UP.
Government Has Issued a Manifesto
 to the World.

tO luC "oTlus
 Teheran, Dec. 17.-Speaking on behalf of the nation the Persian par lament has issued a manifesto to the world. The present constitutional crisis is explained and an appeal for assistance is made. The manifesto, which was distributed to the foreign legations and consulates here to-day, says:
 When the affairs. of the empire had fallen into hopeless state the nation saw its only salvation in con- stitutional government. The late shah granted a constitution and the reigning shah confirmed it.. but per sons who under the despotic regime were accustomed to oppress the peo- pie misled our young sovereign to the belief that the constitution was the cause of the present troubles.
 "The nation wants to do nothing that will disturb peace, but in view of the attack of the reactionary members of the government it will defend the constitution, its only hope, to the utmost.
 By means of this manifesto the Persian nation makes known the ac- tual condition of affairs. It makes this announcement to all the nations of the world convinced that they will show brotherly love to the ten mil lion Persians and not allow their rights to be trodden under foot"
 The negotiations between the shah and parliament have up to the pres ant time haen withOut reSiI Ilt TC-la Y the members of the old cabinet are holding council in the palace. The post office and all shops in TeEeran are closed and no newspapers have been published today
