mile away and started men running
for the scene.
"Here-what's the matter!" de-
manded the driver Of the auto as
he came to sudden stop.
Help! Help!"
Speed was put on and the auto dis
appeared.

knew the girl by sight, but this is

"Was-was he trying to carry me

a bold attempt at abduction, and the
wonder is that he didn't have con-
federate to choke you into silence
and helplessaess. By George, but
this village is getting to be worse
than New York city!"
Tho scoundrel had been noticed at
the depot by men who thought he
acted suspiciously. No one had taken
the number Of the auto, and 1t was
considered useless to follow.
The major hadn't closed the deal
for the auto, and he wasn't at the
depot-elther with or without it. or
course, Miss Marjorie had a story to
tell when she got home, and 1t was
the attempted crime that reused the
fathers ire. Was this the twentieth
century? Was the police force OF the
village, consisting Of two men, being
paid enormous salaries to catch Grim
inals red-handed or to play checkers
and sleep? The major asked a great
many other questions that neither his
wife or daughter could answer and
wound up with the threat to have the
state militia called out.
Meanwhile something had happened
az a manor house two miles away.
Ruth Forest was coming down that
evening for stay of two weeks with
her old school chum, Mrs. Thurston,
bride Of two years. Harry Thurs
ton, brother of the husband, had al
ready been there a week. 1t was for
him to take the auto and meet Miss
Ruth. She would surely be looking
for somebody to meet her, and there
could he no mistake.

"Now, major!" soothed the wife.
"Now, papa" soothed the daugh.
ter
"The scoundrel shall not escaped"
roared the major as he paced the
room. "I'll have the police after him
within an hour-within q quarter of
an hour!"
''But, major!"
"But, papa!"
Marjorie had been uptown to do
some shopping. The major had been
talking Of buying an auto, and ex-
pected to close the deal that day. If
the event came off the machine would
be at the depot to meet her as she
came home on the o'clock train.
She had only stepped off when a man
touched her arm and raised his cap
and said:
This way to the auto, please"
So her father had closed the deal,
and was probably sitting in the auto
outside waiting her appearance! But
he wasn't. The machine was tenant
less, but the man gave her hand to
reach the tonneau, and as she seated
herself 1t whizzed away. 1t didn't
take the right direction, but she
didn't notice this fact for a minute.
When she did she called out:
"You are going wrong! You must
turn around!"
"11l get you there, all right" was
the reply.
Then Miss Marjorie opened the
door ard leaped straight out, to lose
her balance as her feet touched the
ground and fall and roll over and
