era, and through it's mighty open
arches and buttresses Jim saw fleecy
clouds scuddiIg across the western
SKY. A stone saint, muf1ed in burlap,
had Just been swung up into MS
windy niche, but had not yet discard
ed his robes OF the world. Handle
ton was regarding the shapeless fig-
ure with mild interest, wondering
which saint of the calendar could look
SO grotesque, when sound drew MS
attention sharply to earth. 1t was
small sound, but there was some
thing strange about it. 1t was start
ling as fash in a summer sky.
Besides the workmen, there was no
living thing in sight on the hillside
except his own taxicab, swinging
slowly up the avenue at that moment,
and a covered motor-car getting up
speed a square away. Even as the,
car approached. Hambleton decided
that the strange sound had proceed
ed from its ambushed tonneau; and II
was, surely, human voice of distress.
He stepped forward to the curb The
car was upon him, then numbered
heavily and swiftly past. But on the
instant of it's passing there appeared,
beneath the lifted curtain and quite
near his own face, the face OF the
singer Of yesterday; and from pale.
agonized lips. as If with dying breath,
she cried. Help, help"
Hambleton knew her instantly, al
though the dark abundance of her hair
was almost lost beneath hat and flow
Ing veil. and the bright. humorous ex-
preston was blotted out by fear He
stood for moment rooted to the curb
watching the dark mass'%f the car as
1t swayed down the hill. Then he
beckoned sharply to his driver, met
the taxicab half way, and pointed to
the disappearing machine
Quick! Can you overtake it"
I'd like nothing better than to run
down one O. them Dock machines!"
said the driver

CHAPTER III.
Midsummer Madness.

The driver of the taxicab proved
to be sound sport
Five minutes of luck, aided by
nerve. brought the two machines
somewhat nearer together. The mo-
tor-car gained in the open spaces, the
taxicab caught up when it came to
weaving it's way in and out and dodg-
ing the trolleys. At the frequent mo-
ments when he appeared to be losing
the car, Hambleton reflected that he
had it's number, which might lead to
something. At the Waldorf the car
slowed up, and the cab came within a
few yards. Hambleton made up his
mind at that instant that he had been
mistaken in his superstition of trouble
threatening the lady, and looked mo-
mently to see her step from the car
into the custody Of those starched and
lacquered menials who guard the por-
tails of fashionable hotels
But it was so. A signal was inter-
changed between the occupants of the
car and some watcher in the door
way, and the car sped on. HANDLE
ton. watching steadily, wondered
eff she is being kidnapped, why
doesn't she make somebody hear?
Plenty of chance. They couldn't have
killed her-that isn't done"
And yet his heart smote him as he
remembered the terror and distress
written on that countenance and the
cry for help.
Something was the matter" mem
DRY insisted. There they go west;
west Tenth, Alexander Street. Tenth
Avenue"
The car numbered on, the cab half a
block, often more in the rear. through
endless regions of small shops and
offices huddled together above narrow
sidewalks, through narrow and wind
ing streets paved with cobblestones
and jammed with cars and trucks,
squeezing past curbs where dirty
children sat playing within a few
inches of death-dealing wheels. Ham
bleton wondered. what kept them from
being killed by hundreds daily. but
the wonder was Immediately forgot
ten in a new subject for thought The
cab had stopped. although several
yards of clear road lay ahead of it.
The driver was climbing down. The
motor-car was nosing it's way along
nearly a block ahead Hambleton
leaped out.
"Of course, we've broken down ?"
he mildly inquired. Deep in his heart
he was superstitiously thin ling that
he would let fate determine his next
move; if there were obstacles in the
way of his further quest. well and
good; he would follow the Face no
longer.
''If you'll wait just a minute" the
driver was saying, until I get my kit
out"
But Hambleton, looking ahead saw
that the car had disappeared. and his
mind suddenly veered
Not this time," he announced.
Here, the meter says four-twenty-
you take this. I'm off" He put five
dollar bin into the hand of the driver
and started on an easy run toward
the west
He had caught sight of the smoke
stacks and masts in the near distance,
telling him that the motor-car had
almost, IL not quite. reached the river.

For a year or two past certain grow

have been injecting steam into the soil
with a view to destroying insects and

works very we'll for that purpose. but
the operation brought to light an un-

thus treated increased greatly in fer

Spring Fishing Now on
In New England.
Massachusetts and Hampshire
Fishermen Are After Trout.
Salmon Fishing in Pool at Bangor
Begins, Monday Morning.

Boston. April l. The open season
on trout in Massachusetts and south
ern New Hampshire, send hundreds of
fishermen into the country at dawn,
today, to whip their favorite brooks.
This was the opening day on salmon
fishing in Maine but as the rivers
We're still coated with ice, few catches
were anticipated.
Conditions were favorable in Massa-
ehusetts for good trout fishing. The
grass We're to be seen and the brooks
were well flushed out. In southern
New Hampshire however, the condi-
lions were not as good. The brooks
and streams We're full of snow water
and the fishermen believed most of
the trout still remained in their win
ter quarters as there is but little feed
in the small streams.
Salmon fishing in Maine was expect
ed to be unusually good this season,
the fish being far more plentiful than
in any recent year. because the good
results of artificial propagation of SAL
mon by the State and federal govern
ment are becoming manifest. Last
years catch exceeded that of any
year since 1890. The ice however, was
expected to result in the catches be-
