Elaine might by this time have pur-
chased enough frocks to c1othe 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
Elaine's roadster. In it was a stran-
ger-a man who looked like ''bugol-
og1st,' as nearly as I can describe
him. Was he running Off with her car

tel?
I 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
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 so that she could
breathe. There they left her, on the

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 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
er to the house on the other side.
At last he worked his way around
to the rear door. He tried it. It
was bolted, and even the skeleton

They looked about carefully. There
was no one on that side of the hotel
just at the moment.
Ready" responded one. Quick!
Together Del Mar and Madame
Larenz passed Elaine, Intellectually
struggling, out of the window. The
men seized her and placed her in the
bottom of the car, which was covered
, Then they shot away, taking a back
road up the hill.
Hurriedly the naturalist went
through the lobby in the direction
Elaine had gone, and a moment later
reached the corridor above.
Down it, he could hear someone
coming out of room %. He slid into
an angle and hid.
It was Del Mar and the woman he
had seen at the bungalow. They
passed by without discovering him,
nor could he make out anything that
they said. What mischief was afoot?
Where was Elaine?
He ran to the door and tried it. 1t
was locked. Quickly he took from his
pocket skeleton key and unlocked
it. There was Elaine's hat and dress
lying in a heap on the bed. But she
was not there. He was now thor
ough1y alarmed.
She could not have passed him in
the hall. Therefore she must have
gone or been taken out through the
window. That would never have been
voluntary, especially leaving her
things there.
The window was still open. He
ran to it. One glance out was enough.
He leaped to the ground. Sure
enough there were automobile tracks
in the dust.
"'Del Mars carl" he muttered to
himself, studying them.
He fairly ran around the side of the
hotel. There he came suddenly upon
Elaine's car standing alone, and rec
ognized it.
There was no time for delay. He
jumped into it and let the swift little
racer out as he turned and gathered
momentum to shoot up the hill on
high speed.
Meanwhile, I had been Jogging along
through the country, lonely and dis
consulate. I don't know how it hap
pened, but suppose it was by some
subconscious desire. At any rate, I
found myself at the road that came
out across one leading to the st.
German, and it occurred to me that

As she entered, quickly she selected
one of the trunks whose contents were
more smart than the rest, and laid the
gowns out most fetchingly about the
room.
In the Office Of the hotel few mo
ments later the naturalist entered. He
looked about curiously, then went over
to the desk and glanced over the reg
ister At the name Madame Larenz,
Paris, Room 22," he paused.
For some seconds he stood thinking.
Then he deliberately walked over to a
leather chair and took prominent
seat near by in the lobby. He had dis
| carded his net, but still had the case,
which now he had showed into his
pocket. From a table he picked up a
newspaper.
It was not long before Del Mar
pulled up before the hotel and entered
in his usual swagger manner. He
had returned to the bungalow, read
the note, and hurried over to the St.
German.
He crossed the lobby, back to the
office. AS he did so the naturalist had
his face hidden deeply in the open
newspaper. But no sooner had Del
Mar passed than the newspaper fell
unappreciated, and he gazed after him,
as he left the lobby by the back way.
It was only few minutes after she
had completed arranging her small
stock so that it looked quite impress
sive, that Madame Larenz heard a
knock at the door and recognized Del
Mars secret code. She opened the
door and he strobe in.
Il got your note," he said, briefly,
coming directly to business and tell
ing her just what he wanted done.
LET me see," he concluded, glancing
at his watch. ut is after three now.
She ought to be here any minute"
Outside, Elaine drove up to the
rather garish entrance of the st. Ger
main, and one of the boys in uni
form ran forward to open the door
and take charge of the car. She, too,
crossed the lobby without seeing the
old naturalist, though nothing escaped
him.
AS she passed he started to rise and
cross toward her, then appeared to
change his mind.
Elaine went on out through the back
of the lobby, directed by boy, and
mounted q flight of stairs in prefer
ence to taking the lift to the second,
or sort of mezzanine floor. Down
along the corridor she went, hunting

for number twenty-five. At last she
found it at the end and knocked.
Del Mar and Madame Larenz were
still talking in low tones when they
heard light tap on the door.
There she is now" whispered
Larenz.
"All right; let her in" answered Del
Mar, leaping quietly to closet. It'll

just as told you.''
Outside, at the same time, accord.
ing to his carefully concocted plans,

stopped close to the side of the hotel,
which was on a slight hill that
brought the street level here not so
far below the second story windows.
Three of his most trusted men were in
the car.
Madame Larenz opened the door.
"Oh, I'm so glad you came" she rat
tied on to Elaine. "You see, I've got
to get started. Not customer yet.
But if you'll only take a few gowns,
other people will come to me. I'll let
you have them cheaply, too. Just look
at this cne"
She held up one filmy, creamy crea-
ton that looked like delicate flower.

lingering it rapturously.

With deft fingers, Larenz helped her
take off her own very pretty dress.
AS Elaine slipped the soft gown over
her head, with her head and arms en-
gagged in it's multitudinous folds.
madame Larenz, a powerful woman,
seized her. Elaine was effectually
gagged and bound in the gown itself.
Instantly Del Mar flung. himself
from the closet, Disgusting his voice.
Together they wrapped the dress
about Elaine even more tightly to pre-
vent her screaming.

THIRTY-THIRD EPISODE
THE LURE OF THE MODESTO.

Early one morning a very handsome
woman of the adventures type ar
rived with several trunks at the big
summer hotel just outside the town,
the St. German.
Among the many fashionable people
at the watering place; however, she
attracted no great attention, and in the
forenoon she quietly went in her mo-
tor for ride.
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 a manner that
showed that Del Mar trusted her
highly.
Now" he instructed, after a few
minutes chat, Il want you to get &C
quainted with Miss Dodge. She's quite
human. Pretty gowns appeal to her.
Get her to the St. German. Then
I'll tell you what to do
A few minutes later the woman left
in her car, SO rapidly driven that no
one would recognize her.
1t was early in the afternoon that
Aunt Josephine was sitting on the
yeranda when an automobile drove up
and very stylishly gowned and bon
neted woman stepped out.
Good afternoon she greeted Aunt
Josephine overwhelmingly, as she ap-
preached the house. Il am Madame
Larenz of New York and Paris. Per-
haps you have heard of my shops on
Fifth avenue and the Rue de la Paix."
Aunt Josephine had heard the name,
though she did not know that this
woman had assumed it without being
in any way connected with the places
she mentioned.
I'm establishing a new sort of sum-
mer service at the better resorts" the
woman explained. You see, my peo-
pie find it annoying to go into the city
for gowns. So am bringing the lat
est Paris models out to them. Is Miss
Dodge at homer"
Il think she is playing tennis" re-
turned Aunt Josephine.
''Oh, yes, see her, thank you," the
woman murmured, moving toward the
tennis court back of the house.
Elaine and I had agreed to play a
couple of games, and were tossing
racks for position.
Very well,'' laughed Elaine, as she
won the toss, take the other court"
It was a cool day, and I felt in
good spirits. Just to see whether I
could do it still, I jumped over the
net.
Our game had scarcely started when
we were interrupted by the approach
of a stunning looking woman.
miss Dodge?" she greeted. "Will
you excuse me a moment?'
Elaine paused in serving the ball
and the woman handed her a card
from her delicate gold mesh bag, It
read simply:
NINE. LARENZ
PARIS
Elaine looked at the card a moment
while the woman repeated what she
had already told Aunt Josephine.
You have them here, them"
queried Elaine, interested.
Yes, I have some very exclusive
models which am showing at my
suite in the St. Germain.''
"Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed Elaine.
81 must see them"
They talked a few minutes, while I
waited patiently for Elaine to start
the game again. The game, however,

condolences of their lives that both
she and her mother were stricken by
the same fatal malady at about the

Chillicothe. She followed the admoni-
ton of the wise man and remembered
her Creator in the days of her youth.
Over forty ear 6 she became a
follower of the meek and lowly Jesus.
yer and has been a consistent Chris
tian ever since. Hers was the life
of devoted service. She bent her
back to Their burdens and cheerfulfy
bore the load of one who had become
a servant of her Lord. More than
forty-two years have passed since she
became the wife of Mr.. Essic Clink-
scale. They have travelled the road
of life together in storm and calm,
in clear and cloudy weather till death
did them part. She was the mother
of two children, Lulu and Hattie, the
latter of whom by more than thirty
years in infantile loneliness and in
nocence preceded her to the house
not made with hands" She had a
heart full of sympathy for the misery
and anguish of the poor. To the err
ing one she lent the a of pity and
offered the helping hand. She was
n of the founders of the Colored
Orphans Home. Hers were busy
hands, but she always had a spare
moment to, give to charity. She was
a member of three fraternal orders,
loyal and faithful to her obligation
and her trust. For t~hirty-five years
she has occupied a pew in the Baptist
church of Topeka. No night was too
dark or storm too wild to deter her
from attendance at its service. Hers
was a presence never missed in the
Sunday or the weekly service so long
as health remained. Hers were the
nobler virtues acted out in common
life. The warp and wool of her char
acter were of the texture from which
is woven the hero and the martyr.
She was sweetly resigned and patient
in her sickness, and at 7:15 on Tues
day evening, November 8, suddenly
appeared the pale horse and his rider.
She mounted without a tremor and
fearlessly rode out into the darkness
but to her the dawn. She is survived
by her husband, Mr.. Essic Clinkscale,
a daughter, Mrs. C. S. Smith of Kan
sas City; two sisters, several nephews
and nieces and a host of friends to
mourn her loss. May she rest in ever
lasting peace.
