Owners of villas armed themselves against him. and country ronStablcs watched the highways but Rallies escaped detection and contin- ued his unlawful way. The male pop Elation for ten miles around could see no romance in his doings and threaten ed to shoot him on sight. As nat ural result. the women. and more eSpe- cialIy the young ladies, made hero of him and declared that it was the most romantic thing they had eyer heard of.
 Ravensrest had not yet received visit from the gentlemanly robber Fred Long, son of the widow and owner of the villa and it's acres, rea- sonel it out that Rallies had heard of him, his firearms and his eternal viz ilancp.

 Well, that fellow got into N'illlin- sons last night and fairly cleaned out the place, though there were three men and two dogs keeping watch. m hot after him and expect to get him before night. If any suspicious eharac- ters should be seen sneaking around here i hope you will let me know. This here Rallies spots off his houses in the daytime and enters tlem at night.
 ..s the constable jogged along and Ruth returned to her book young man who looked as much like Rallies as anybody else came saunterinS along the turnpike from the depot and had approached within q quarter of q mile of the house. Soon after leaving the depot he met old Mr. Jones and asked his way to the Agnew place. MT. Jones had been deaf for forty years. but pride prevented his admitting hls all ment He didn't know whether he had been asked who was governor of the state or if the tomato crop promised q good yield; but, wanting to be civil. he told the inquirer to turn in at the first drive he came to on the left. The pc destrian came to a drive on his left and turned in under the old walnut trees.
 He didn't act like man who was expecting to see anybody in particular. From the front of the house, after gag ing for five minutes, he passed to the rear and then walked slowly along to the stables and the garage. It was then that one of the maids came run ming across the lawn to Miss Judith and gasped out:
 Its that Rallies, and we shall all have our throats cut"'
 "Who-- What"' was the exclamation as the young lady tumbled out of the hammock in her haste.
 "I saw him when he came in. He's been spotting off the house, as your brother calls 1t. He's gone now to spot off the barns. He wants horse and buggy to take his plunder away. Just to think that we must all have our throats cut from ear to ear in broad daylight. Shall bring you one ol your brothers guns?'
 "Y-yes. but never fired gun. Per haps the sight of it will scare him though"
 As Judith looked toward the garage she saw the stranger come to the door after evidently having inspected the in
 terior. Then he disappeared again. Ii
 flashed across her mind that he was after the big new auto, and, gun il } hand, she made run for it. The big
 entrance doors of the brick buildin. r. were closed, but the side door stoot , open. In a minute she had reached it

 Rallies was prisoner at last. There
 was q skylight to the building, but nt
 windows. The prisoner was as safe Il.

 after the door was shut he began kick
 ing on the other side. His voice was L also raised in protest but was heeia, not. The gardener and the servan girls came on the run. and the gardener

 at the door and called out:
