Even the guards with their rifles who
lowered about seemed to pay him de-

that she cared to be. She was almost
startled to md herself WONDERING II
she could not aid him to escape.
For three days Miss Myra did not
ride out at all. Then the runabout
traversed another road. The return
might be made by the turnpike. on

later on. At I'VE miles from home the
