light glinted on distant water, and the
shadows of the trees lay in fantastic,
twisted patterns on the hillside.
Dawn. The red glow of the sun
rise, filtering through the mist of the
morning, stole in at the open door of
the Willard garage and found Marie,
with her fists folded under her arms
and the tip of her frosty nose in her
elbow, loudly snoring.
She limped over to the house, plod-
ded up to her room, dressed herself
with numb fingers and after half an
hour of dull eyed thought scrawled
this note, which she laid on June's
bed:
Dear Miss Junie-I am feeling better,
thank you: ! hope you will excuse me il
take few hours of. I will be back
for lunch. Hoping you are the same.
remain. yours affectionately. MARIE.
She tiptoed out and hurried down
the hill to the station, where she
caught the first commuters train. Ar
irving at the city, she sought Officer
Dowd and prevailed on him to phone
Ned's friends and June's parents that
Ned had been kidnapped.
June in pretty little morning robe
was busy among the flowers in Mrs.
Wizards boudoir window conservatory
and singing softly when she heard
footstep behind her. Turning, she saw
Willard towering above her, his hands

duty to 60 on this trip.
"Shall we take Bouncer?" suggested
the pleasantly modulated voice of Blye.
''Of course Bouncer shall gov' June
declared, and this time the handsome
collie, on his feet in an instant, wagged
his tail so vigorously that his hind feet
slid.
There was instant qualification in the
faces surrounding June.
Far away in the night Henri was
speeding northward. Every now and
then he turned to look back and laugh,
where Jens Jansen sat stOlidly putting
his pipe, one immense hand constantly
on the arm or the knee of Ned Warner.
"Voila" cried Henri in high glee as
the sharp night wind cut past his face.
''Well,'' grunted Jens in huge content.
June put herself into the hands of
the agitated Marie very thoughtfully
after the visitors had gone.
what is the matter, Marie?" June's
tone was quite solicitous. She became
suddenly aware that Marie had been
in such state of nervous excitement
as she had never exhibited before.
Nothing; Miss JUNE; nothing at all!
I'm afraid of burglarsv'
"Why, Marie, come here!' Marie
came slowly over, nervously kneading
some knotted pink thing in her hands.
Your eyes are feverish You must
go to bed, Marie. Wait Bring me

teri
Meekly Marie took what June gave
her, but later she dashed down the
stairs and streaked across to the ga
rage. Empty!
At that moment Ned Warner, his
hands and feet still bound and his
mouth still gagged, was being gleefully
deposited in deserted woodcutter's
shed in the middle of vast, bleak
grove Through the trees the moon

Gilbert Blye, with the grace and gal

Warner from his luxurious limousine.
The deserted groom. his head still
held in viselike grip and his mouth
stopped, saw his bride enter the house,
surrounded by the gay group, the dark

white mustached Grin Cunningham on
the other.
1t was Marie who made the gag to
slip in Ned's mouth. Then Marie slip

The two men, one apparently

and followed her. As they passed the
brightly lighted library Ned saw June's
collie greet her with the height of ca

making friends with the dog, then saw
the twinkling eyed Cunningham sit in

animated tete-a-tete
The chauffeur and the gardener
shrank back in among the bushes with
their helpless burden.
There came high powered racer

with his hands in his pockets, strolled

Mrs. Willard. talking with Gilbert
Blye and Tommy Thomas, turned, and
as she saw the newcomer her eyes
widened imperceptibly, and look of
concern flashed down across her gentle
countenance.

said
''That's my best trick" he drawled,
kissing Mrs. Willard perfunctorily.
Hello. Tommy! Howdy do, Blye?'
Willard was impressed as his eyes
fell upon the fresh beauty of June.
"Mr. Willard, Mrs. Warner" The in
PRODUCTION was very cold, and again
that concern fickered for moment on
Mrs. Wizards face as she saw her hus-
bands eager interest. "My compan-

Tommy Thomas, glancing at each 9TH

With careless nod to Cunningham.
Willard walked over to June and, tax

down at her with such obvious admira-

lurched free from his captors and tug

into his wrists.
Marie came back from the corner
and mOtioned. The chauffeur and the
gardener followed With the husband of

smiling her courteous responses to the
dissolute Bert Willard.

Ned Warner stirred impatiently. He
gave another tug at the ropes which
bound his wrist, but it was only an in

he made another determined attempt

He gave q sudden wrench at his

after they have become rich by it,
begging from the force of habit and
from the love Of the art of making pe0-

where. June shuddered as she remem-
bered this wife going through her hus-
bands pockets, and then she recalled
her dream of herself standing before
Ned as a riteous pauper. holding out
her hand for aims She had been right,

Blye, sitting in the far corner on the
window sill. with his Vandyke in his
long. lean white hand, suddenly rose
and, walking over to Cunningham, took
the picture from him and laid it on the

DUTCH PROGRAM PLANNED
Lebanon Quartet Will Entertain the
Past Grands of the I. o. o. F.

Pennsylvania Dutch will figure large
ly in the program of the entertainment
of the Past Grands' Association of the
Odd Fellows to be held on Monday
evening in Whites hall, Third and
Verbeke streets.
q. F.. TitZel, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, has just received ae-
ceptanee of his invitation to the Leb-
anon quartet to take part in the pro-
gram. This party entertained the men,
bers of the association at Middletown
some time ago. They will entertain the
Odd Fellows and their friends at a
Dutch feast of mirth and music. The
Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler will deliver
a short address.
Roy d. Beman, member of the firm
of Brown & Co., furniture dealers, and
a prominent Odd Fellow, has announced
his candidacy for the office of grand
warden of the Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows.
Mr.. Beman has been prominently
identified with the order in this city
and throughout the State, being es-
pecially interested in the homes for
orphans supported by this order.
1t is expected some action will be
taken by the Past Grands Association
of this county at its meeting on Mon
day.
The Office of grand warden leads to
that of grand master, and is the one
usually contested for before reaching
that high Office.
