AGED A CARRIER.

Dutch Flat, Cal.-For six years. win
ter and summer. William H. Pascoe. ~
years OF age. has never missed carrying
the mail on his shoulders up the hin
from the railroad station to q post Of
fice, q distance of a mile. twice daily.
this service he is paid $3.50 q
month, but tho contract was made be-
fore the parcel post law went into eff
feet.
Mail Carrier Pascoe has steadfastly
refused offers of q lift from autoists
and teamsters. Only once has he been
forced to give his shoulders q rest. and
that was when someone shipped a crate
Of watermelons by parcel post, and
Pascoe showed a wheelbarrow load Of
small mail up the hill.
Fifty years ago Pascoe was a
wealthy young miner of Dutch Flat,
then a lively camp. and was consid-
cred the best dressed man in the town,
and often made trips to San Francisco
with a sack of gold dust.

him and made the truth appear
like a flash of lightning: Allen
con! Then and there, by the light
of his memory, he penetrated the
mystery.
He repeated:
"Where are we goingi Back
again, bearing to the left"
"Any particular placei"
"Alencon."
"All -ight,' said Davanne.
"Lend a hand, some Of you. I
can make an easy start from that
field just there"
Don Luis and a few others
helped him, and the preparations
were soon made. Davenne tested
his engine. Everything was in
perfect order.
At that moment a powerful
racing car, with a siren yelling
like a vicious animal, came tear
ing along the Anglers road and
promptly stopped. Three men got
out and rushed up to the driver
of the yellow taxicab. Don Luis
recognized them. They were
Weber, the deputy chief, and the
men who had taken him to the
lookup the night before, sent by
the Project Of Police to follow up
the scoundrel's tracks.
They had a brief interchange Of
words with the cob driver, which
seemed to put them out; and they
kept on g%esticulating and plying
him with fresh questions while
looking at their watches and con-
sulting their road maps.
Don Luis went up to them. He
was unacceptable, with his head
wrapped in his aviation cap and
his face concealed by his goggles.
Changing his voice:
"The birds have flown, MI.
Deputy Chief" he said.
Weber looked at him in utter
amaZement.
Don Luis grinned.

sensation of his power, with q
force made up of mingled pride,
hatred, and cruelty. He was in
deed the eagle lowering overhead
with its talons itching to rend live
flesh. Escaped from the cage in
which he had been imprisoned,
released from the bonds that
fastened him, he had come all the
way at full flight and was ready
to swoop upon the helpless prey.
He lifted himself in his seat
and gave Davanne his instruc-
tons:
"Be careful ," he said, "not to
brush too close by them. They
might put a bullet into u.s."
Another minute passed.
Suddenly they saw that, half
a miles ahead, the road divided
into three, thus forming a very
wide open space which was still
further extended by two triangu-
lar patches of grass where the
three roads met.
"Now?" asked Davanne, turn
ing to Don Luis.
The surrounding country was
deserted.
"Off you got" cried Don Luis.
The airplane seemed to shoot
down suddenly, as though driven
by an irresistible force, which
sent it flying like an arrow to-
ward the mark. 1t passed at 300
feet above the car, and then, all
at once, checking it's career,
choosing the spot at which it
meant to hit the target, calmly,
silently, like a night bird, steer
ing clear Of the trees and sign
posts, it alighted softly on the
grass Of the cross roads.
Don Luis sprang out and ran
toward the motor, which was COM
ing along at a rapid pace. He
stood in the middle of the. road,
leveled his two revolvers, and
shouted:
"Stop, or 1 fire!"
The terrified driver put on
both brakes. The car pulled up.
Don Luis rushed to one of the
doors.
"Thunaer!!" he roared, dis
charging one of his revolvers for
no reason and smashing a window
pane.
There was no one in the car.

CHAPTER XIX.
THE Snare is Laid. Beware,
Lupin!"

The power that had impelled
Don Luis to battle end victory
was so intense that it suffered,
so to speak, no check. Disappoint-
ment, rage, humiliation, torture,
were all swallowed up in an inn
mediate desire for action and in
formation, together with a long
ing to continue the chase. The
rest was but an incident of no i'm
portance, which would soon be
very simply explained.
The petrified taxi driver was
gazing wildly at the peasants
coming from the distant farms,
attracted by the sound of the air.

throat and put the barrel of his
revolver to the mans temple:
"Tell we what you know-or

well, yes, then. I went back
on foot, behind a bank covered
with trees. The man had opened
the coach house and was starting
a small limousine car. The lady
did not want to get in. They
argued pretty fiercely. He threat
ened and begged by turns. But
1 could not hear what they said.
She seemed very tired. He gave
her a glass of water, which he
drew from a tap in the wall. Then
she consented. He closed the door
on her and took his seat at the
wheel"
"a glass of water!" cried Don
Luis. care you sure he put moth

The driver seemed surprised at
the question and then answered:

eyes, she didn't see."
Don Luis mastered his horror.
After all it was impossible that
the villain had poisoned Florence
in that way, at that place, with
out anything to warrant so great
a hurry. No, it was more likely
that he had employed a narcotic,
a drug of some sort which would
dull Florence's brain and make
her incapable of noticing by what
new roads and through what
towns he was taking her.
"And then," he repeated, "she
decided to step inf"
"Yes; and he shut the door and
got into the drivers seat. I went

"No."

Versailles it was dark. And this
morning I was too far away. Be
sides, it's curious, but the first
time he struck me as very tall,
and this morning, on the contrary
he looked quite a short man, as
though bent in two. I can't un-
derstand it at ALL"
Don Luis reflected. It seemed
to him that he had asked all the
necessary questions. Moreover, a
gig drawn by a quick trotting
horse was approaching the cross
roads. There were two others be-
hind it. And the groups of peas
ants were now quite near. He
must finish the business.
He said to the chauffeur:
II can see by your face that
you intend to talk about me.
Don't do that, my man: it would
be foolish Of you. Here's a thous-
and franc note for you. Only, if
you blab, I'll make you repent it.
That's all I have to say to YOU"
He turned to Davanne, whose
machine was beginning to block
the traffic, and asked:
"Can we start"
Whenever you like. Where
are we goingi"
Paying no attention to the
movements Of the people, coming
from every side, Don Luis unfold
ed his map Of France and spread
1t ont before him. He experienced
q few seconds Of anxiety at see
ing the complicated tangle Of
roads and picturing the infinite
number of places to which the
villain might carry Florence. But
he pulled himself together. He
did not allow himself to hesitate.
