Instantly Del Mar flung himself
from the closet. Disgusting his voice.

them.

Elaine might by this time have pur-
chased enough frocks to clothe her
for a year. At any rate I quickened
my pace In the hope OF seeing her.
Suddenly my horse SHE'D. and a IA
miliar little car flashed past me. But
the driver was not familiar. 1t was

galloped after him.
Del Mars automobile, with Elaine
bound and gagged in it, drove rapidly
by back and unfrequented ways into
the country until at last it pulled up
before an empty two-story house in a
sort of grove of trees.
The men leaped out, lifted Elaine,
and carried her bodily into the house,
taking her upstairs and into an upper
room. She had tainted when they laid
her down and loosened the dress from
about her face 80 that she could
breathe. There they left her, on the
floor. her hands and feet bound, and
went out.
How long she lay there she never
knew; but at last the air revived her
and she regained consciousness and
sat up. Her muscles were sore and
her head ached. But she set her teeth
and began struggling with the cords
that bound her, managing at last to
pull the dress over herself at least.
In Elaine's car the naturalist drove
slowly at times. following the track
Of the automobile ahead. At last,
however, he came to a place where he
saw that the tracks went up a lonely
road. To approach in a car was to
warn whoever was there. He ran the
car up alongside the road in the
bushes and jumped out, leaving it
and following the tracks up the side
roadway.
Stealthily the naturalist - crept
around, still hiding, until he was clos

She could not have passed him in

The window was still open. He

1t was Madame Larenz, one Of Del
Mars secret agents. who. up to this
time, had been engaged in spying on
wealthy and impressionable American
manufacturers.
Her airing brought her finally to
the bungalow Of Del Mar. and there
she was admitted in manner that

Aunt Josephine was sitting on the
veranda when an automobile drove up
and very stylishly gowned and bon

preached the house. Il am Madame

AS Del Mar and the other man ran
around the corner they could just
catch a fleeting glimpse Of someone
disappearing into the trees.
1t was Elaine.
The man hurried forward, blazing
away with his gun.
Running, breathless, Elaine heard
the shot behind her which Del Mars
man had fired In his eagerness. The
bullet struck a tree near her with a
"ping!" She glanced back and saw
the man. But she did not stop. In
tead she redoubled her efforts, run

they were thickest.
Del Mar, little bit behind his man

urged the man on, following carefully.

New York, May 14.--As an abso-

thin folks WHO
WOULD Be FAT
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice

"I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
tion, a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are when
the powers of nutrition are normal.
Instead of getting into the blood, all
the fat and flesh producing elements
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro.
duce healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be artifi-
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating a Sargol tab
let with every meal. Sargol is scien-
tifc combination of six of the best
strength giving, fat-producing elements
known to the medical profession,
Taken with meals, it mixes with the
food and turns the sugars and starehes
into rich, ripe nourishment for the It's
sues and blood and it's rapid effect is
remarkable. Reported gains of from
ten to twenty-five pounds in a single
month are by no means infrequent. Yet
its action is perfectly natural and abso-
lutely harmless. Sargol is sold by G. A.
Gorgas and other good druggists every
where and every package contains a
guarantee of weight increase or loney
back.
Caution:-While Sargol has produced
remarkable results in the treatment of
nervous Indigestion and general stomach
disorders, it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh producing effect, be
used by those who are not willing to
increase their weight ten pounds or
more.-Adv
