resist his entreaties that she consent |
to an elopement. Her father, too,
was growing stranger than ever.
At last Roger called at the house
again. He went straight into Mr..
Bannister's study. 81 am going to
marry your daughter, whether you
like it or not" he said. eff you have |
anything against me, let's have it |
out now"
To his establishment, he fancied |
that he saw look of approval in the |
old mans eyes. But it passed in
stantly, and old Bannister raved and |
stormed at him. In the end he found |
himself outside, with nothing accom-
plished, and deeper enmity be- |
tween himself and his future father |
in-law.
The next day a despairing little |
letter came from Amy.
Roger, help mew it began. 81
am sending this by. the cook, who |
brought me my dinner. Father has |
gone out of his mind. He induced |
me to enter the attic this morning,
and then he turned the key on me. |
He has had bolts put on the door.
and am prisoner here-and this is |
the twentieth century! Save me,
and will marry you at once"
Roger read the letter in horror,
and then he understood. Of course,
the old mans mind had been slowly |
failing. He must be crazy 1t would |
do no good to start habeas corpus
proceedings. He must rescue the |
girl and take her away.
A accommodating visit that after
noon disclosed, first, an eager face |
and a fiuttering handkerchief at a

The house was little way outside
the town limits. 1t was a lonely
neighborhood, and this left him more
freedom to deal tactfully with the sit
uation. He left the auto at the back
of old Bannister's little garage and
made his way toward the back of the
house.
The ladder was still there. Unob-
served, as he believed, Roger set foot
upon the lowest rung, and soon he
was tapping at the window pane
above.
Amy opened the window with lit
tie cry of joy. She was fully dressed,
and carried a bag in her hand.
81 knew you>would come, dearest
she whispered, and her arms chung
to his neck. Very carefully he lifted
her down to the top rung of the
creaking, swaying ladder, and thence,
rung by rung, down to the ground.
A moment later they were creeping
through the darkness toward the
hidden auto.
Now the girl was inside, and Roger
was desperately cranking when a
sudden shout rang out behind him.
1t was old Bannister, and he was
rushing toward them. In his hand
was the CLINT of a revolver.
Roger leaped into the auto and
started away as the frenzied old man
drew near. He sped down the road
toward the boundary of the state,
ten miles away, where a marriage
could be performed without the for
mality of a license.
But he had hardly left the house
behind him when old Bannister's au-
to was heard chugging along behind
him.
Now ensued a weird race through
the shadows. Roger let her out to
the limit. AS he ran his mind re-

JUST WARPED TO CLIMB TREES

A farmer friend of ours, from near Berryville, one of the sub urbs of Green Forest, was in Little Rock a short time before the prohibition law went into effect, and while strolling along one of the main streets, espied 9 saloon sign and sauntered into the place, and as he ranged him self alongside the bar an affable dispenser of the red, white and blue ''stuff' courteously asked him what would be his pleasure. The farmer says: Have you got any squirrel Whiskey?" The bartender looked at him in < somewhat Quizzical way and ex- plained that they did not carry any Whiskey of that brand, but that they had some fine Old Grow Whiskey. The farmer shook his head and said T don't want to fly, I just wanted to get something to make me climb trees. '
