C-~~~~-~~-----~--->,---- c>--~~~->>'~-->' Plank paused and presently cntin- ucd
 We went round thc luke and found on thc far side the spot where they had heached the canoe. Leading up into the woods from that point. we again struck the trail of the two men. but my daughter was no longer with them. When they left the canoe they were going light They must have drowned her iu the lake It's clear enough. Presently l saw something floating on the water. It was her hat"
 Had Miss Nirgiuuy any jewelry on her:' asked Joe.
 "A watch and a necblace.'
 What valuet'
 Seven OF eight hundred dollars"
 Huh" said November collectively. And what did you do after finding her hatt'
 We troiled the two villains until they got ou to some rocky ground. It was too dark then to do more, so we returned Five thousand dollars if you lay hands on them,' he said
 By the river the traces were SO plain Chat any one could read them-the slender feet Of the victim and the larger footprints of the two men. The fishing rod, snapped off toward the top of the middle joint, had been left where it had fallen. IL seemed as if the girl had tried Co defend herself with it. Next We went Co the lake.
 November literally uosed his way along The mOccasined tracks of the two men showed fainuy here and there on the softer parts of the ground.
 Looks as if they was toting some thing. said Joe. "They must 'a' car ricd her Stop They set her down here for a spell"
 Another moment brought us over the rise and in sight of Mooseshank lake ] halted inyo.untarily The place seem ed created for the scene Of a tragedy.
 November had pushed on to the spo; where footprints and other signs show cd where the men bald entered the ca- noe. The deep slide Of a mOccasined foot in the mud seemed Co tell of the effort It required to get the girl em- parked.
 ''They took her out on the lake and murdered her." groaued Plank. Drag giugs There's no use dragging, that water goes plumb down to the root of tle world
 After that we went around to the other side of the lake and saw the beached canoe. The two sets of moe casiued tracks showed clearly on the strip of mud by the water but were soon lost in the umbled debris of a two-ycar-old stony landslip over which trailing appeared quite impossible. No vember was busy about this landing place for a longer time than 1 expect ed then he crossed the landslide at right angles and disappeared from our view Soon he came hurrying to- ward us.
 "She isn't dead"
 "WhatE"
 Anyways, she wasn't when sht passed here I have a proof here tha you will think mighty good He drew out a little leather ease I had giveI him and extracted from it a long hai of d beautiful red gold color "Lool at that, I found it in the sprucei above there
 Plank took it gently in his grea fingers He was visibly much moved For few seconds he held it withou speakiug, then "That grew on Vir ginia's head, sure enough, Joe Is i possible my girl is aliyeT
 "She is. sure, Don't be afeared YOuu soon have news of her, ] cal promise you that, Mr. Plank Thi wasn't no case of murder. It's jus au abduction. They'd never be sucI fools as 10 kill her. They're cute than that. Isn't she your daughter Theyu hold her to big ransom. That their game
 An ugly look came into Planx's eye' That's their game is itt I'm not man that it is easy Go milk dollar from" said he
 By this time 1t was growing to dark for Joe to work any longer W crossed the lake with Plank, and tha night Joe and ] camped near the en of Mooseshank lake, where streaI flowed from it.
 At dawn, while we were havin breakfast Joe stood mp and stare mto the trees that grew thick benin us. As he called ont ] looked bac and saw Che indistiuct figure Of ma in their shadow watching ms.
