10 believe she had money. He went hack


 '''Trat IS q very common deiu@ion whoa ladies arc little crazy. but had to get my wife home. you know, no matter how. y Eetard taG given od, that hc Nas se- fie insane; h. d'd not explain how ho han- rercd 10 have an irsaro bride, anl , train officials were obliged to b" sat's. fled with such information as he gave - and he was lay 'sh with money.
 "They will eat fruit. ard you cen Ect some canned meats and crackers and open them in their presence; don t want t.;cn, 10 be hungry. Get them some coffee and--Ill see them myself.
 He went to the state'oon; AiIe"n wait ed for him to speak
 "Aileen, you need not fear that shall : give you any more morphine; it is ne ios,- ger necessary, and l don't mind telling you that it would be very hard to get you and Miss Redfeld to where l wish to take you in state of insensibiity. We a,e far away now, and any outcry you may make will cause you more trouble and would not asst you any.o
 Aileen said nothing in reply, and Eliz- abeth was speeches. with rage when she saw him. He left them once more to themselves. It was nearly noon and the 1 girls were ravenous, so when the porter brought the food, they made a substan. tial meal, and felt better for it; though they spent very dismal day and night. To vary tho monotony, Elizabeth prowled about the stateroom and peered through the intricate patterns of the grounl glass door.
 "Aileen, I believe this car is empty! l think llc got 9 special ear and shut ns mp in this end, So any amount of noise we made in here could not l3c heard.
 Aileen rose hastily, and trey both wait ed anxiously until the train stopped at q station, and they could not hear 9 sound in the car--no talking, no rnstling of peo- ole 's dresses no footsteps; all was silent.
 CT think you are right. Elizabeth: I lon t believe there is any one Tn this car
 1t us and Richard, though l did not
 lld not manage a letter somehow. Have
 . any paper about Us. or envelope. OF avthinge' She searched little leather ,ae she wore, a chatca nc, and found Ter ] ard ease with two of her cards iii t.. Elizabeth searched her pock book, aua found letter doubled up that sine had forgotten to mail and stub of a pencil.
 Aileen seized them. "Can I We soak the envelope open ard. send one of my cards in it1 We surely can hire q boy to nail it at one of the stations VIC shall pass, Can we get window cpen?''
 They both tugged at a window. but they seemed gluel to the frames. They tried both windows; after considerable labor, they managed it.
 "There We must close it again; l am afraid they will find it out; we must not york at it when the train is still, as they will hear. Now, what shall write on m, card, and who to9 Stanley?'
 "I think Tom, because Stanley is SC taken up with your husband 8 case, you know.'
 "But it is probable that Tom will be miles away, searching for us :; for, by tl,a time letter could reach them. they will have lost our train as we don t know where We changed and they will know less. While we have no idea where We are the postmank, if lcsihle will tell them. Let us send it to Stanlcy.''
 "Let us send it to Thankful. She will know how to act; even if all the men are gone, she can rescue us herself, and then Paul win be at her command =
 "You are inspired, dearie; we will do that; and woman s name will be less likely to be stopped in the mail than a man 3, if Richard should have the means of stopping letter. Go on and write, Elizabeth, on my card; use them both if you need them; I 'll put these to soak with a wet handkerchief; it will be a very wet, smudgy letter.
 "What have you writtens'' "DEAR THANK:-We are on a train; we don t know where; Richard Soule has trapped us; notice the postmark on this. and act accordingly. We are we'll. y have got that on ono card; hadn't we better save the other? We might get a chance to write again.
 "Yes, it will be best; all they will need will be the direction in which to search for us, There, now for the envelope; I have knife, and I think l can scratch the name off. Have you put your name on the card?"
 "Yes, plainly, Elizabeth Redfeld.' I have added that Richard is also on the train, so they will come prepared to kill Il IL
