CHAPTER XVII.

Decoy.
Neal leaped out of one of the small
boats Of the destroyer Jackson and
ran nimbly UP the wharf. He had
good reason to, for on the veranda of
a hotel not quarter of mile away
he saw girl he knew. In record time
he was by her side.

leer toward Neal, "and what comes in

CO."
What are you talking about?" said
Annette 1--WE are specially invited by
the governor himself"
I'm out of it, I tell you," repeated
Neal But I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll come to the back gate Of the gov
ernors garden and I'll f1irt with you"
Many came and most were served
that night. But among the first to
come, though none were served, were
-four unlimited guests. They were a
strange quartet, these four, and they
came to see rather than to be seen.
Each one of these four men became
shadow in himself, watching, ever
watching. Suddenly there was light
tread upon the graveled path. A
jaunty figure swung into the moon
light and looked about him. Out of
the hundred guests or so that clus-
tered about the verandas Of the dis
tant house Neal peered anxiously for
Annette Ilington.
He trilled a little whistle-his sig
nal and Annette's-and as though that
whistle were a signal for an onslaught,
a huge shadow and another sprang
across the intervening space and
caught Neal from behind. A coat or
cloak descended over his head with
all the effectiveness of strait-jacket.
1t was the governor himself who
kept Annette within the range Of ar
tifcial light and from her appointment
in the moonlight out beyond.
While she sti'l talked to the COVER
nor, an individual with cunning eyes
and insinuating leer s<epped up to the
f1unky at the main gate that led to the
governors mansion and handed him a
note.
For a guest-Miss Ilington," he
said. ct am to wait for an answer"
The fiunky nodded, summoned an
other f1unky. and handed him the note.
The funky made an inquiry or two,
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-12-24

then stepped directly to the governor
and handed him the note.
"This is the young lady here, Fran
cois," exclaimed the governor.
Annette took the note to window
where there was somewhat better
light, and opened it. 1t was written
in a srawling, unaccustomed hand.
This is what it said:
Have seen scar face. Need you
moment for Identification. We have
run him down. Como with bearer OF
this note. Excuse scrawl-right hand
NJ. G. Hastily,
p. S.-Don't drag mother into this.
Come as you are.
Annette beckoned to the flunky.
Where" she said, lis the bearer OF
this note?"
The flunky bowed. Follow me-" he
said.
At the gate there stood man wait
ing hat in hand-a man with cunning
eyes and insinuating smile.
"Mr. Hardin sent your" she in
CURED.
The man bowed. "Oui, mademoi-
selle," he returned.
where is he now?" she Queried
cautiously.
where he said he would wait-by
the postern garden gate" returned the
bearer
Disarmed, she followed this man
into the shadows.
In another instant she had reached
q carriage and an instant later some
thing descended over her head, smoth-
ering her cries-something bound her
arms to her side. But the smuggler
had been right. Neal was there, bound
and peechless-helpless on the bot
tom of the carriage.
An instant later the vehicle ratified
sharply off into the night.
