dumped out to go sadly home again.
Then the triumphant automobile,
crossed and recrossed the town, till
| it had lost its pursuers.
The doctor, though, was not dis
couraged. He led his party of pur-
suers in mad race to Lawrence,
where he invaded the station only to
find himself still eluded. Mr.. Shoaf
had craftily sent his chauffeur up to
the station to get in the way and be
questioned as to what he had done
with his travellers. He lied like a gen.
tleman and said they had gone to Eu-
dora to take the train there. The
story, however, wouldn't hold water.
as as the train didn't even stop at that
station. The bridegroom was manag-
ing his campaign of escape beautifully,
except. that in a moment of vanity he
put in long distance call to the man
he had elected from his car at the
edge of town. He told him over the
phone that he was safely ensconced in
his old boarding house in Lawrence.
But the doctor was crafty, too, and

the bridegrooms confidant, he learn

pursuers were distributed between the
stations where trains were due, and
the hunted newlyweds walked into the
trap. They escaped with their lives
and their suitcases, owing to the plead
ing for clemency urged by the women
of the party but had their hazing
no quarter would have been given.
