The milkman whistled, then held
perforated between them
We'll. Bill says he thinks he picked
up them three men and the young
woman on this here very road about
four o'clock in the morning, and
drove 'em about two miles He amt
sure; he don't remember nothing
about the dressing gown, for 1t was
dark and he didn't see it, but he
said this morning that it cid seem to
him as if it must have been them"
A greenhack changed hands. and
the result was that the milkman
agreed to take Charlie to the stable
and introduce him to Bill.
Bills story was that he had driven
couple who had missed the last train
up, to stable that boosted an auto
mobile, and there he had turned back
toward home. 1t was late then, or
rather early-somewhere between
half-past three and four. At point
which he did not exactly remember.
three men accosted him and asked
if they might ride with him. He didn't
consider this unusual, because it had
happened to him before. The men
were supporting young woman be-
tween them. Bill concluded she had
had too much He was paid in ad-
vance, bill which, in the light of
smoky kerosene stable lamp later,
turEed out to be ten dollars, but that,
too, had happened to Bill before when
he had given a lift to "souse."
They rode what Bill judged to be
about two miles, and got out at path
evidently leading to aNhouse, just be-
fore coming to a small bridge. He
remembered the bridge distinctly.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Man at the Bridge.

It's a strange thing that the first
definite clue we had to 10 after the
slipper and the torn piece of her
dressing-gown, came from Charlie
Aver. There had been 10 demand for
ransom on the following morning and
We were in despair. Mr.. Partridge
arrived, but he could only bring me
consolation. A rumor that some
strange men had been seen at the
railroad station came to naught, and
finally Charlie had taken the run
about and gone away, no one knew
where and had not bothered. He came
back late that afternoon, grimy, with
two men in the car, one milk man,
the other a stable boy, and held up
to the shocked gaze of everybody
present JOS other slipper.
While the detectives John had had
sent down from town, and the local
police, were following up. clues that
led nowhere, Charlie had stumbled
upon one that seemed to be good
through pure unadultered chance, and
a puncture. He had started to town,
I don't think he himself knew why,
and he got the puncture on a stretch
of roadway that didn't boast a tree
Tor a mile. It's thirsty job fixing
a puncture, more so when the sun
isn't particular just how hot it shines,
and it's the first time the shoe has
been off and has rusted on the rim.
When Charlie finally threw the
pump and the jack into the tonneau
the only thing in sight was a milk
wagon. Now, don't think Charlie
ever took a drink of milk in his life,
but milk is better than nothing and
Charlie hailed the wagon. While he
was drinking the milk, the milkman
began reading morning paper.
Charlie gazed at the back page, know
ing that on the front page. just under
the milkman's eyes, was story,
effect that Miss Goldman was still
missing. He asked a perfectly silly
question, with startling results:
You don't happen to have seen a
young woman, in dark-blue dressing
gown, looking lost, strayed or stolen?"
No, sir" the milkman answered,
"but Bill, the stable boy where we
keep the wagons"-he jerked his head
toward the interior of the wagon
says he thinks he knows about this
here young woman who was stolen
from Lone Oak. Are you a-looking
for herr"
YES" admitted Charlie, TN g.
looking for her"

A Passing Automobile Party Had
Found an Unconscious Man Beside
the Read.

They had called "good-night' to him.
One of them, he thought, spoke in
German. He had ceased to think Of
the incident until he saw the row the
newspapers had kicked up about
young woman having been, presuma-
bly,, abducted from place in that
vicinity on that very morning. He
had hesitated about informing the
police, because he didn't want to get
mixed up bout nothing when he
wasn't sure bout nothing, and didn't
know nobody; and he couldn't be
spared from the stable to go to court
bout nothing.
But when he had been promised full
pay for any time lost and guarantee
OF his job from the owner of the
stable. he consented to accompany
Charlie to Lone Oak, if the milkman
would go also, and place himself and
his information at the disposal of
whoever wanted it. He gave Charlie

carriage 1t was JOS

1t was quite a procession that went
down the driveway to take Bill to

the bridget was perhaps four miles
or more below Lone Oakland if JOS

house and celery farm, owned by

or in concealing any one who had.
But everybody went. just the same,
and rather eagerly when it was re-
membered that Bill said he thought

The little old couple were aston
ished at the intrusion, but answered
questions ightforwardly, and be-

hot and sultry-"and she has only one

She can plug a dime at fifty

somebody at the club once said he
would like to see her plug a dime at
fifty yards.
Then why didn't she shoot?" he
demanded suddenly.

man. now. isn't it," l demanded in
turn. Even If he is a theft"
Great Lord, no, when she's In

We'll, that's the way I'd feel about
it, and that's the way she would, too.
Perhaps when she realized there was

He was exasperated with me. He
couldn't see that a woman's mind
works differently from a mans. He
came close to me after a moment,
drew me into his arms and placed

CHAPTER xXlV.-Continued.

At the end Of an hour we knew
that JOS abductors had crossed the
wire fence to the pasture, mile
down the shore. for a piece Of the
dark blue dressing gown that was
missing from her wardrobe was found
on the wire where, evidently. 1t had
caught little farther on, one OF
her slippers was found. But there
all trace of the thieves and 10 ended.
We telephoned for Winthrop and he
came Immediately He knew more
about that part Of the country In
minute than any of the rest of us
in a year. But noontime brought
nothing more, and afternoon still
nothing. Then the police were mott
fed and that brought also newspaper
men and photographers. The police
and the newspapers seemed the end
of our desperate hoping.
Doctor Graham came and barricaded
me in my sitting-room when the re-
porters began to arrive, with Celie as
sentinel He said 1t would not do for
me to see them; that would be i'll.
Then the. attempted jewel robbery
ieai. ed out-reporters just scent such
things-embellished with my having
heard suspicious noises, dramatically
rushing ont and saving the jewels,
and plunging down the steps and
breaking my arm as fitting climax.
An artist sketched one Of the maids
and added a broken arm, as they
couldn't snap me; and the newspapers
that afternoon came out with extras
that sizZled.
But out of that episode Mr.. Samuel
Dick, of the Evening Columbian. con-
cocted a very plausible story Of JOS
disappearance She had heard a
noise, just as had; she had investi-
gated, which accounted for her having
on as much as she had; she had per-
haps recognized the thieves. which
made 1t necessary for them to carry
her away until they had made good
their escape. They had left the de-
tective behind because he had not
learned who they were. Mr.. Dick con-
jectured that we would find 10 alive,
because If the thieves had intended to
kill her they would not have taken !
the trouble to carry her off, The big |
question. of course, if we accepted !
this theory, was: Whom had she |
recognized? And that was a chance

troll himself made it all the more

Of talesmen and the peremptory chal-

The only enlivening incident of the
morning was the attempt to prevent
Photographer Larkin from taking

Judge Van Fleet is determined
