which the ambulance driver had mis- takenly turned his vehicle
 There was hasty conference among the anarchists when they saw the am- bulance driving toward their lair. It was decided to hold up the chauffeur and make prisoners of the driver, the surgeon and their patients.
 To the surprise of the anarchists, the still insensible Pat was the only patient in the machine.
 ''We'll take her along, anyhow" said the anarchists leader. The surgeon and driver of the ambulance were tied hand and foot, then deposited on the floor of the vehicle.
 In the early dawn they took Pat to an old shack that stood at the end of an abandoned pier that jutted into the quiet waters of Little Neck bay. Here the anarchists stored the plunder they secured as a result of their raids on stores and warehouses along the wa ter-front of New York.
 An old hag, who lived in the shack as a caretaker, opened the door and admitted the anarchists with their prisoner. It was decided, after a brief conference, to take the girl to room beneath the shack, and there hold her until later in the day.
 This room was built under the dock, and from trap door in the floor a ladder led down to the water, several feet below. Leaving the old woman to guard their prisoner, the anarchists departed.
 Pat had by this time revived from the effects of the explosions shock to her nervous system.
 She had plenty of time to look around her. Upon Investigating the room, she found various articles of junk and old furniture, several good boxes and rolls of heavy canvas An old life preserver attracted her no- tice, and gave her an idea. With brush and pot of black paint she found when taking stock of the place, Pat painted on the life preserv- CT: "Held, prisoner, in old shack, on pier" She lifted the trap door, looked down upon the dark waters, under the | dock-and dropped the life preserver into the sea.
 While these exciting events were happening, Pat had not been over- looked by the authorities. Phil Kelly had that day come in from Washing ton, with message to the secret serv- ice chief that would give the girl i'm munity from detention.
 The raid on the Frenchman's hut was the sole topic of conversation around headquarters, and Kelly very quickly decided to act on his own ini- tiative in seeking the girl who had been carried away by the anarchists
 An investigation having been made when the ambulance failed to return to the hospital in reasonable time, the story of the adventure with highway men was soon told. The hospital at- tendants who had been captured at the time Pat was kidnapped related their experience in detail and told in which direction the anarchists had gone.
 Kelly was among the officers who went to the rescue of sshe detained hos pital employees, and he surmised at once that the anarchists would retreat to one of the many spots on the water front where the girl might readily be detained. Taking with him three of his own operatives, Kelly hired row. boats and sent his men to comb the waters under the docks.
 It was rare stroke of fortune that piloted Kelly past the pier on which Pat was held prisoner. He saw the life belt and read it's message. In all haste he rowed under the dock, and began close investigation. The ladder leading up to the room in which Pat was imprisoned attracted his attention. He pulled his boat to the foot of the ladder and climbed up. In his eagerness to proceed, he neglect ed to make fast the rowboat and when he stepped out of the craft it fioated away.
 Cautiously he moved about, seeking the girl. A movement under what looked to be roll of canvas attracted his attention. He discovered the girl, bound hand and foot and then tied in- side the canvas. The anarchists had come back to see if their prisoner was safe and then decided to tie her in the canvas.
 Pat had heard them say that it was their purpose later on to row her out to a motor boat.
 Kelly was immeasurably delighted in the success of his search and soon had Pat freed from the ropes that tied
