we followed as best we could, on up

Worse than that, we lost sight OF
Kennedy. Still we kept on blindly,
trusting to luck and common sense in
picking the road.

drivers shoulder, the window down,
trying to direct him, when we ap-
preached a fork in the road. Here
was a dilemma which must be decided
at once, rightly or wrongly.
AS we neared the crossroad l gave
an involuntary exclamation. Beside
the road, almost on it, lay the figure
of a man. Our driver pulled up with a

blackjacked him. He was groaning
and just beginning to show signs of
consciousness as I bent over.

asked, helping him to his feet.
He looked about dazed a moment,
then seeing me and compromising, he
pointed excitedly, but vaguely.
"Elaine!" he cried. They've kid

What had really happened, as we
learned later from Elaine and others,
was that when the crossroads was
reached the three crooks in the limou-
sine had stopped long enough to speak
to an accomplice stationed there, &C.
cording to their plan for a getaway.
He was a tough-looking individual who
might have been hoboing it to the city.
When, a, few minutes later, Ken

fork, their driver had slowed up, as if

what he was doing. Instead, he was
studying the marks made by the tire
of the Clutching Hand cab.
More slowly now and carefully, we
proceeded, for a mistake meant losing
the trail of Elaine.
We came to another crossroads and
the driver glanced at Craig. "Stop!"
he ordered.

Just then, from a little knot of PEG

Kennedy turned to her, apparently
not half SO much concerned about the
automatic that yawned at him al
about the anxiety of the pretty cir,

plain-clothes man lowered the CUR

Sturteyant Martin was a typical so

(Which way did the big car go?" re-

The hobo approached the taxicab
s~ullenly, as if he had a grudge against
cars in general.
One question after another elected

to see, he would have found out that,
with his back toward the taxicab
driver, the hobo held one hand behind
him and made the sign Of the Clutch
ing Hand, glancing surreptitiously at
the driver to catch the answering sign,
while Craig gazed earnestly up the
two roads.
At last Craig gave him up as hope,
less. "Well-go ahead-that way" he
indicated, picking the most likely road.
AS the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.
"Hurry!" urged Craig, exasperated
at the delays.
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
it over, but somehow it refused to
start. Then he lifted the hood and be.

impatiently jumping out and bending
over the engine, too.
The driver shrugged his shoulders.

ignition, I guess" he replied.
Kennedy looked the a over hastily.

frowned.

Precious minutes were speeding

characteristic energy, Kennedy put the
taxicab driver aside.

Banging away at my typewriter the
next day, in Kennedy's laboratory,
was startled by the sudden, insistent
ringing of the telephone near me.

at work at his table, trying still to ex.

I handed him paper and pencil.

back to the running board.
We piled back into the car and pro-
ceeded under Kennedy's direction, as
fast as he would permit. So it con.

At last Kennedy stopped the cab

TOMMY RIGGS FOOLS
 UNFORTUNATE CARIBOU

While on his trip, riding along the Nenana, about 45 miles up the river Commissioner Riggs had the good fortune to sight caribou just across the stream. He took shot at him, but the distance was too great to se- cure the result he wished. Both the caribou and the commissioner moved on down the river, losing sight of each other for the time being. Then the caribou decided to take a chance anyhow, and started across the river. The commissioner le. him acroos and then, just as he raised his enormous spread of horns, potted him with neat shot. As the caribou jumped back into the river some difficulty was met in fishing him out, about four miles lower down, but the deed was accomplished and the surveying crews were furnished with close to 900 pounds of the choicest meat the North affords-Fairbanks Citizen.
