return. When he did return Farms
worth resolved to go back to At
lanta on the same train with him
and accuse him to his face of being
responsible for the disappearance Of
Gordon Kelly.
A Long Wait.
The wait proved to be a long one.
Farnsworth ran out of cigarettes and
suffered the tortures of the damned
hour after hour. Night came on and
spread her pail in inky blackness.
another hour passed. Finally from
up the railroad track Farnsworth
heard the faint shrek of a locomotive
ana the far-off rumble of a freight
train. Then he saw the headlight
flicker in the distance.
A moment later the sound of
pounding hoofs reached the ears Of
the newspaper man from up the road
but was soon lost in the roar of the
oncOming train. The locomotive. puf-
fling loudly rolled by dragging a long
line of creaBing, moaning freight
cars. Then from out of the darkness

Forrest Cain, hatless, jumped from
the saddle and running to the side Of
the train, seized a grab handle as If

came from behind Farnsworth the

NolYer, and a bullet whistled by his
car and sped toward its mark.

continued TO flow there it would
probably, have carried away the skel-

posted the layer of red loan.

the ground are certain that the UNI

Ages ago another peril threatened
the grave of the Halling Man. The
River Midway which now flows half
a mile away from the spot, once cut

of the ancient burial place and, if this
cutting away of the ground by the

antiquity of man.

Wanted Bat and Ball.

Before the day was over Gordon
made a long speech to them in which
he covered all the points he could
think of. He told them who he was.
He said he had never injured anyone
Intentionally He asked them if he
were being held for a ransom, in
which case he invited them to name
their figure To this proposition he
received no reply nor, in fact. could
he get a word of any kind from them
Silence followed every question he
asked In spite of the evaporation
of this sort of thing, Gordon pre-
served his good nature throughout the
day,
After supper Gordon made another
request He said with a smile:
"As you gentlemen seem inclined to
keep me here for several days at least.
there are a few things I would like to
have. Can you get them for me-"
Maybe so" replied the black
bearded man, They were the first
words spoken that day
Wen, then, in the first place, l
would like a toothbrush and a comb.
Then I would like a baseball bat and
two or three basebails. l will pay for
them Can YOU set them for me?
The bearded man nodded
"AN right. then" said Gordon.
cheerfully. And when can | write
another letter."
There was no reply to this ques-
ton, and shortly after Gordon crawIed
into his bunk. The chain was placed
on his ankle one of the men took up
guard duty and the others retired

IN no place was the subject Of Cor

thoroughly discussed than in the
club house of the Atlanta baseball

Two Flashes.

And so the DAYS passed. And the
weeks passed, with Gordon Kelly still
bottled up in the log cabin or within
few feet of it. And then one day
there came a change.
His captors had procured newspa-
pers for Gordon now and then, and
one afternoon he was seated in the
shade of a tree. with his back
against the trunk of it, reading. The
guard sat fifteen feet in front Of him,
pistol in hand. And while he was
absorbed in the baseball scores some
thing flashed across the page Of his
newspaper. A moment later there
came another flash. He cautiously
lowered the newspaper and glanced
at his guard Finding his attention
had not been attracted, Gordon
brought the paper up to his face
again and gave a little gesture with
one of his hands. Then, holding the
paper in such a way as to hide his
head from the mountaineer, he slowly
turned
What he saw caused him to smile
and put his paper aside and arise
and stretch himself and yawn.

my suffering and
pains. For two
years l suffered
bearing d 0 wn
pains and got all
run down. I was
under a nervous
strain and could
not sleep at night.
l went to doctors

but they did not

No Chance to Escape.

Next morning Gordon had more of a
chance to stretch himself. The fetter
was removed from his leg. and after
breakfast he was taken outdoors and
allowed to do as he pleased within
certain limits The place the noun
taineers had chosen to take him was
situated in kind of cup or hollow in
the hills. 1t was effectually concealed.
and there was no chance Of their being
discovered, unless someone should in
advertently stumble on their hiding
place Figuring on this possibility,
Gordon told himself there was but one
chance in a million of anyone finding
the place by accident off in the
mountain country. several miles from
a road that was almost never used ex-
| cept between the mansion and Pew
Station, he was as much a prisoner as
though he were on some desert island.
His captors took absolutely no
chance of his escaping. Wherever he
went within the limits pointed out TO
him by the black bearded man. he was
followed, as the ringmaster. long whip
in hand, follows the performing horses
in circus, by one Of the four men
| holding a gun ready for instant ac-
ton. At intervals Gordon would try
to start a conversation, but he did all
the talking Never were such silent
men as the mountaineers proved to be.
| He could get absolutely no explana
ton as to why he was being held a
| rrisnnnt,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-24

convinced that there was a good
deal to Morrissey's theory.
There were two reasons why Long
Toms line Of argument appealed to
the newspaper man. In the first
place, he saw the ingredients of an
other bangup story for The Geor-
gian. and in the second place At
lanta had opened to be insufferably
hot just at that time and he was
casting about for an excuse to get
away from the office for brief pc
riod.
Farnsworth put in the evening
learning all there was to learn about
Forrest Cain. and then laid wires to
keep covered on the movements of
that person. His method of proCe-
dure was to get in touch with Wits
ky (not the alcoholic beverage but
the colored man employed by the At
lanta Baseball Club Whisky, being
a somewhat important parsonage
among his coterie, fixed things up so
that Farnsworth, through devious
channels that led up to George, the
colored valet Of Cain, would receive
daily reports of the man he was trail
ing, and in addition he would be in
formed whenever Cain was to leave
town. Then, having arranged things
at his Office, he laid back and waited

On Cain S Trail.


Farnsworth had not long to wait
Four days after he set out to run
down the Forrest Cain Clew he re-
ceived word through his underground
route that the man under suspicion
would leave town next morning by an
| early train, destination unknown.
Farnsworth sat in a taxicab sta
toned within 100 feet Of Gains home
! from until $3.50 o'clock on the fol-
/ lowing morning before Cain issued
/ forth without bag or baggage, and
/ jumping into his car, which had been
sent around from the garage, was
| driven to the depot The newspaper
man followed along behind, but was
not quick enough to reach the ticket
office in time to learn Gains destina-
/ ton. He trailed his man into pas
| senger coach and dropped into a seat
/ ten feet behind him
The train started and the conduc-
tor began his pilgrimage to collect
fares Not knowing where he was
going, Farnsworth paid cash fare
| from station to station and before
| long he had a pocket full of rebate
slips They travelled several hours
| before Cain made a move Then he
alighted at a small place Farnsworth
| had never heard Of Just as the train
started again the newspaper man
! jumped off and, lighting a cigarette,
kept his eyes on his man He saw
Cain go up to a Cracker who was
holding a horse by the bride After
a few words with him, Cain mounted
the animal and rode off up the road.
Farnsworth debated a moment with
himself and then approached the man
who had been holding the horse. He
