gulped It down while he tried to get
Montreal over the long distance tele-
phone to inform his Canadian counsel
and his mother of his predlcament- But
wires were bad and Thaw was eX-
cited and he could make no connection.
He strobe out on the porch, only to
learn that the chauffeur of the car nad
deserted.
This man was Thomas Trihey, a sub
stantial business man Of Coaucock, and
he had volunteered to assist the news
paper men, but had not counted on aid

his car on crossing the boundary,a as re-

Cantine pulled his ar down to 90
miles an hour A farm wagon hove in
sight Thaw seemed frightened for
moment; then he settled back quietly.
He could not talk connectedly; he could
give no idea of what he purpOsed
to do.
After several miles the car swerved
north and was back into Canada again.
Thaw grinned. This is familiar" he
said L was along here coming up"
Cantine gave his car more fuel and
the car fairly hummed through the
town of Canaan. Vt Ahead lay the
Connecticut river and behind ii, New

seemed to gall him. Less than four
miles out of SteWartstown, running
south and east, he made the chauffeur
stop again. A farm house of Mrs.
Martha Atherton, whose husband was
away in Connecticut, stood well back
from the road Into the yard Thaw had
the chauffeur drive and into the kitch-
en- tramped Thaw. He had noticed a
telephone wire running into the
kitchen.
Mrs. Atherton was out at the barn,
but in the kitchen sat her aged step
mother, Mrs. Elvira Day.
Il am Harry Thaw," said the
stranger.
Mrs Day apparently had not read the
newspapers much of late

What can I do for you?"
May telephone?" asked Thaw. TAX

You surely may sir" said the old
woman. We believe in being neigh

Thaw smiled and went to the tele-
phone and found it useless. He spent
more than 20 minutes in the endeavor,
sitting at intervals in a quilted rocking
chair smoking.
Mrs. Anterior came in from the barn.

This is Mr.. Thaw," said Mrs. Day,
in a matter of fact sort of way.
Thaw arose and bowed. Mrs. Ather-
ton was stupefied. She gazed at him
moment and then offered him limp
hand. As Thaw took it, she said;
We are neighborly folks, Mr.. Thaw,
and if we can help you in any way we'd
like to do it. III cook you a meal or
hitch up the team or anything you
say"
Thaw declined assistance with
thanks

he said. He stepped to the telephone
and again when the operator told him
it was out of the question to get Mon
treal, he bade the two women goodbye
and hailed Cantine.
"Comeon," shouted Thaw; lets be
moving"
Where to?" demanded Cantine.
Thaw glared at him and waved to
the south.
Were going to Enrol" he said
Enrol was 80 miles away. Cantine
drove on stolidly. Now and then Thaw
cautioned him not to go so fast.
