NO, no, that is for the police" ! said.
At the mention of the police an angry
oath leapt from her lips, and she strOve
desperately to wrench her hand from
my grip to get the cup. l had TO use
some violence to thrust her back.
Fooled in the effort to destroy the
traces of the drug. her rage completely
mastered her; and being unable to vent
it upon us, she turned upon the man.
With a running accompaniment or
abuse and reproaches as the cause of
the trouble, she seized him and shook
him till his teeth ratified like castanets,
and then clouted and kicked him and
tore at him with her nails like a fiend
incarnate, until he fell huddled up on
the floor, bowling to her to stop.
Volna opened the door and went out
to escape the din and repulsive sight,
and then called me hurriedly.
In a moment the whole Internal
scheme of the two was made clear. The
heavy burden which we had heard set
down outside the door and which had
so puzzled me was explained, as well
as the mysterious rustling which had
set me wondering.
The one was d cask half full Of
petroleum; the other a huge heap Of
shavings. chips and hay, ready satur-
ated with petroleum.
They meant to bind us in our sleep
and fire the house I did not think
there could be such fiends," said Volna,
trembling.
II was too obvious to question. The
heap OF shavings laid ready for light
ing told its own story: and ,yith the
petroleum thrown into the room where
we were to have been left, bound and
unconscious, nothing could have saved
US.
Volna chung to my arm, faint and
cold with the borrow of it. Let US So"
she whispered.
That was why the woman was
dressed to go out. I see it now. That
fear Of hers of the police, the noise we
heard outside; they were expecting the
police and meant to fly on our nOrses.
Such devils ought not 10 be allowed TO
escape"
But it was obvious that we dared not
run the risk Of denouncing them.
Let us CO." said Volna again. The
very air of the place makes ne faint
and-ill."
I went back into the room.
II have found out sall your internal
scheme. Get out of here, and keep out
of my sight, lest I take the Law in my
own hands," and I drew the revolver
again to emphasize my words
The man was seemingly afraid TO
move; so 1 dragged him to his feet,
hauled him to The door and flung him
down in the passage. Upstairs with
you, and if I catch so much as a glimpse
Of you I'll shoot you ike the .nurderous
skunk YOU are"
He crawled away from my feet and
skunk up the creaking staircase, shak-
ing in every limb and casting frightened
glances behind him.
What are you going II do?" asked
the woman, coming TO the door.
Hold your tongue" ] Numbered. Go
to the villain you egged on 10 do this
thing. Quick, or" She was scared
by my rage, and went without another
word.

I nodded. "And bring me my things.
I'll stop on guard here"
I heard the two muttering and
wrangling in the room above; but
neither made any attempt to come
down, and in some few minutes we
were ready.

the act of opening the door when
started involuntarily as some one beat
loud peremptory summons on the
panel.

a voice.
Volna started and elutched my arm.
What shall we do?"
If it was the police, we were caught
like rats in a trap.

knocking was repeated more loudly and
insistently than before. open there, at

Who is there?" I called.
THE police. open or we shall break

To show hesitation would be fatal So
unfastened the door and threw it
open.
At that moment Volna came back and
shook her head.
Two men entered. You are our
prisoners" cried the first conner. If
you resist, the consequences viii be on
your heads"
I'VE don't resist. I'm glad you've
come"
They seized and held US both. The
man who took me snatched the re-
volver, which was still in my hand.

nificantly, and showed it 10 his COM

ringing.

Volna took out the jug and poured
the coffee back into the cups.
They both watched her intently as
She did this, turning now and then
from her to me. with swift glances of
speculative fear.
Nov if this is not drUgged or
poisoned, drink it," and ] took one of
the cups and held it toward the man.
Quick" 1 cried, so sternly, that he
trembled. His eyes were everywhere
except on my face, and his lips moved
cOnvulsively.
Drink it, fool" said the woman with
a sneer.
He stretched out his hand toward the
cup. and then. with a swift gesture,
struck at it and dashed it to the
ground.
I knew it. l need no more proof" /
declared.
III drink it," cried the woman, MAX
ing a snatch at the cup on the table,
But I caught her hand, and Volna took
away the cup.

Wait a moment. There is a mistake
here" I said.
You've made it, then, in letting US
net you here so easily" and they both
laughed.

asked.
It was about as tight a corner as fate
in an ill-natured mood could have de-
vised for us.

~ M. G. a. Bible Glasses Banquet.

The Y. NJ. c. A. Bible classes to
the number of sixty banqueted at
the Association rooms Tuesday even
ing at $50, and made enthusiastic
plans for the coming year. So much
interest and profit are apparent III
these classes that three will be
taught this year, as against two dur
ing 1908.
f.. b. Stewart acted as POSTMASTER
and he called on c. Rentschler,
when the excellent banquet prepared
by ST. Agnes Guild had been dis
posed of, to give talk on last years
work. w. l.. Parker gave some plans
for the present year, and Burton b.
Johnson, former Owosso man who
is general secretary of Lansing Y. M.
G.. A., told how the work is con-
Quoted there. Mr.. Johnson's talk
was full of valuable points for his
brethren here, and it is safe to say
that none escaped them. Mr.. ST.
denius also spoke, as did G. F. Erie
gel. Both of these gentlemen will
teach classes this year, Mr.. Stewart
taking the third.
Twenty-seven enrolled Tuesday
evening for the coming year, and
there is every prospect that this
number will at least be doubled.

Fordney Medal Presented.

At Cheboygan on Monday evening
the Fordney medals and trophy,
won from the other companies and
a team from the field and staff OF the
Third Infantry, Michigan Natiohai
Guard, were presented to the four Of
ficers and men of Company X, Third
Infantry. The ceremonies took
place at the armory Of Company X
and was largely attended by the citi-
zens.
The mayor acted as chairman OF
the evening, and first introduced
Col. James n. Cox, Adjutant Gene
ral of Lansing. Col. Cox, who is
civil war veteran, spoke interesting
" upon the development of the Ma
tional Guard OF the country in point
of efficiency, and gave his hearers
good idea of its resources-the mon
ey allowed for its support, and how
it is expended. He brought home
to the people that the National
Guard is no longer made up of Tin
soldiers" but of trained and effec-
tive militia ready to march away to
the front in twenty-four hours, in
case of war.
Col Cox. who was one OF the
Youngest soldiers to leave Massa-
chusetts during the civil war, paid g
| tribute to the veterans of the civil
war, of which his audience was par
TALLY composed, and he was warmly
applauded.
Major NJ. J. Phillips of Owossf
| followed with a brief talk on rihf
practice in the state, and he was fol
lowed by Col. George B. McCaughn;
| who presented the beautiful trophy
the four medals, and to Quartermast
err Sergeant William H. Conboy, on
of the members of the team, in ad
dition the Third Regiment media
from the National Rifle Association
which he won last year at Detroit.
The visitors returned on the lat
train, arriving Tuesday morning, at
ter pleasant visit, and one that can
not help but be of benefit to the Ma
tional Guardsmen of Cheboygar.
