Ackman. who Is thirty years old and

Elgin. AS he whirred along the road

he was hailed by a stranger.

ger asked In pleasant tone, and Ack-
man invited him to Jump in"
For the first few minutes their con-

Ackman was not suspicious of his COM
panion. He was taken completely by
surprise when the stranger drew pis-
tol from his pocket and pointed the
weapon at him.
Ackman, jumping to the conclusion
that he was harboring an ordinary rob-
Der, took his purse from his pocket and
offered it to the man.
Il don't want your money; want
your life," said the stranger, coldly,
lingering the revolver menacingly.
Ackman confesses that he was badly
scared, but his thoughts were nimble
for all that. He summoned all his res
olution and began description Of his
home. He grew eloquent over the love
and gentleness, the beauty and sweet
ness of his wife. His voice grew husky
and his eyes were moist as he told Of
