shall drop this letter from the window
and trust to some one mailing it for
me. Come quick, dearest, before I die
Of fright and starvation.
Your distracted Amy"
P. S. please come yourself and do
not have any publicity"
Evan read and reread the hastily
written, tear-blotted missive.
"Somebody's crazy as loon and it
may be mel" calculated Mr.. Gates.
He picked up the telephone receiver
and called the number Of Mr.. Frake's
town house where he had seen Amy
only two days before. AS he talked
into the transmitter his face changed
from perplexity to surprise, disbelief,
impotence, anxiety, and back to per-
plexity again.
Nov, what do you make Of that ?"
he frowned as he leaned back in his
chair.
4 servant had answered the tele-
phone. She had said that Mr. Frake
had sailed for Europe that morning
and that Miss Durland had gone
away the day before-it was not
known just where but on a weekend
visit somewhere.
As Amy and her guardian-uncle COM
posed the family, there was nothing
for Evan Gates to do but to take the
next train for Hillside and unravel the
hideous plot and rescue the unfortu-
nate damsel from the tower.
somebody's crazy!" repeated Evan
as he hurried up to the station for his
| train.
He decided it was Terry Bannister
when that joyous youth collided with
him at the Central station and instant
~ grabbed him by the lapels Of his
coat.
'"The greatest news ever!" bleated
Terry grinning widely
well, what Is it?" snapped Evan,
remembering that this was his rival,
and also that he had train to catch.
I'm engaged-she's said yes-the
dearest girl in the worldi" chortled
| Mr.. Bannister, announcing his engage
ment in his usual spectacular man
ner.
Evans blood ran cold. He turned
away from the entrance to the train
sheds. "Her name?" he asked crisply.
he thought he could guess.
Il should think you might guess

His Captive
Princess

Evan Ia a dear" lamented Amy
Durland. but there isn't q spark OF
romance in him-that In. rot he right
hndi"
You mean the kind We have Just
witnessed?" asked her friend. Hester
Blake, they left the theater and
walked down the street
Yes" hesitated Amy with q swift
upward glance at Hester's rather Sc
we're profile. Evan Gates isn't the
sort OF man to do anything romantic
oh, you know what mean, Hester
we have just seen 1t at the matinee.
Fancy Evan rescuing NE from captiv-
ity In a lonely tower! Evan would
call out the fire department to run
ladder up to my window and | would
be released by the mos: prosaic meth
cd, while Evan would stand at the
foot Of the ladder looking at his watch
and grumbling because he might miss
an important business engagement!
"Nonsense!" laughter Hester. you
underestimate Evans chivalry because
the opportunity has never been Of
fered him to display It."
Amy tossed her pretty head In utter
scorn of Hester's matter-of-fact opin-
ion and as they entered bus and
went their way uptown her mind was
busy with little plans whereby she
might prove to herself that the man
she was engaged to and who really
was a most devoted lover, should
prove further devotion by some roman
tic deed of chivalry.
It was not until she was dropping on
| to sleep that night that the great plan
came to her and it Immediately ban
ished all sleep from her violet eyes.
Amy lived with an uncle.
| Several days afterward Evan Gates
scanning the pile Of morning mail on
his desk picked out a small grayish
blue envelope and opened it with a
! tender, expectant smile.
It was from Amy and bore most as
tonishing tidings:
Dearest Evan: Come to my rescue
at once-Uncle Bert has locked me in
