 Huh. yes. and what are you doing here. Mir. Calyey:' asked Joe. shaking hands.
 "I heard about Virginia. How could keep away after thatf" exclaimed Calvey
 "You'ye no cause to fret yet" said Joe.
 what? When they've killed her! TH go with you and if we can find those'-
 Huh! Shes not dead! Take my word for itr' Joe's gray eyes gave me a roguish look Why I've got thing here in my pocketbook you'd give me SlOO forr' He held the red gold hair up 10 the light of the rising sun
 Calvey shook from head to foot
 "Virginia's. You couldn't find it's match in Canada, Tell me-
 "I cant wait to tell you and you ] can't wait to hear Light out now. old man Plank could make 1t un- healthy for you
 "You'rc right, He hates me because [ Virginia won't marry Schelperg Of the combine. He hasn't let us meet for | months. And more than that, he's ruined me and my partner in business 1 It was easy for rich man to do that" added Culvey bitterly.
 "You go and start into business again. advised Joe. "Tll send you word first thing ] know for certain"
 But it was some time before he could 1 induce Calyey to leave Us. After he 1 had gone l wondered whether Joe sus- pected him of having a hand in spirit ing away Virginia. Presently I asked him.
 Joe shook his head "He couldn't have done it if he wanted to. He's a good young chap, but look at his boots and his clothes--he was bred on pave mcut. but he's Miss Virginuy's choice for an that We'll start now, NIT. Quarltch, just where I found that bit of gold caught in a branch that hangs over the little stream up above there. You see. she lost her hat, and she has a splendid lot of hair, and SO when could ind DO tracks, for they came down the bed of the stream, ] searched ! bout a high as her head. guessed she'd be liable to catch her hair in a branch"
 But we had hardly started when we heard the voice of Plank roaring in the wood below us. He was coming along ut an extraordinary pace in spite of his ungainly. rolling stride
 "You were right, Joe; Virginia is ] alive, It is a case of abduction. See what l have here"
 He held a long stick or wand in his hand The top of the wand was rough ly split. and a scrap of paper stuck in the cleft.
 Eds just found this in the canoe on the lake," he went on. "These black guards must have come back in the night and put it there'
 What have they said in the paper;" asked November
 "'You must pay to get your daughter back IT you want our terms come to the old log camp on Black lake to- morrow night. No tricks We have
 you rounded mp sure. Don't try to track us or we will make it bad for her.
 Joe touched the ends of the wand
 "Green spruce wood, cut near theit camp said he.
 There's plenty of spruce like that
 right here" objected PlanX; why dc
 you say it was cut near their camp" "Irs cut and split with a heavy ax ] .sl
 with him. We'll we'd best do no nor, l tracking till we see the chaps that has l Miss Yirginny. It's Black lake tonight } theng''
 On the way Plank made known tC us his plan of campaign. lt was z , | simple one. He would get the meI into the hut and speak them fair tin [ favorable moment presented itself
 when he would demand the surrende To of his daughter under threat of shoot ' ing the kidnapers if they refused O B demurred
 There are three Of us, and we cal Q fix them easy" said Plank. e November Joe shook his head t They're not near such big fools a i you think them," he remarked n We had stopped on some high groun'
