He went back through the kitchen.

CHAPTER XII
Kidnapped!


Since BOwyer's last visit to the
store Molly had been making plans,
bIt, when these were made, she did
rot dare. TO place them before the
factor
She knew that they could not long
remain at the portage. There was his
increasing infirmity; there was Tom
Bowyer's enmity-his hold over her
father, which was bringing him into
his grave.
Yet she feared one of the factors

her suggestion that they should 50 to

ally she began to believe that McDon-
aid was forming plans of his own. II
that were so, in due time, and in his
own way, he would talk to her about
them.
Meanwhile she watched her father
anxiously. He still dragged his leg
as ae walked, and the fear that was
always upon him now had made him
an old man within the past year. The
girls love for him, which her humilia-
tion at Bowyer's hands had never en-
tirely killed, burned up again after she
mad broken with Wilton.
But she wondered constantly what
was the power that Bowyer had over
ner father. Had Mcdonald given her
any encouragement she would have
spoken to him. and begged for an un-
derstanding that might remove the
cloud which hung over them both. But
the factor was more morose than ever.

at him, and, with an oath, he pushed
her back violently into the bottom Of
the rig.
She gathered all her courage to wait.
And the waiting was not long. The
upland was surmounted, and a lake
came into sight, neck of land, and
the dark outlines Of camp buildings
upon it. A light showed In a window.
Chambers pulled up the horses.
He leaped to the ground and, catch
ing Mcdonald by the arm, pulled him
roughly out of the vehicle. He ham,
mered f1ercely upon the door, which
opened. Tom Bowyer appeared on
the threshold. The factor began to
tremble. Bowyer pulled him uncere-
mOniously inside.
Bring her in !" he yelled to Hackett.
The outlaw caught Molly by the
waist and swung her to the ground.
She tried to break from him, but Bow
yer, having thrust Mcdonald inside,
snatched her from Hackett's grasp
and, picking her up bodily, carried her
into the lighted room.
Bowyer deposited the girl on the
divan, went out and pushed McDOn-
aid in after her. Outside Molly heard
fierce alteration in progress-BOw-
yer's threatening tones, Hackett's sui
len answers and Lee Chambers queru,
lOus whine
Presently the two men went out and
Molly heard the horses being led
away. She tried to adjust her torn
dress, to fasten up her hair. Bowyer
came back.
"Now we'll have a few words to-
gether," he said, leering at Molly.

dying man in his arms and supported
the shoulders against his knees, so
that Jules might see.

Meanwhile the rest Of the party
spent a fruitless half-hour trying to
catch horses. At length, after a con.

camp, collected a few more Canadians

the wOrkmen in check.

BOLSHEVIST SPIES
FLOODING EUROPE
Worm Way Into Confidence of
Anti-SOviets and Get
Secrets.

RIGA. Aug. 1s.-Eighy billion
spies and informers employed in
European countries by the soviet
government are engaged at present
on SPECIAL missions independently
Of the innumerable propagandists
receiving pay from Moscow. the
former being Russians. the latter
natives of the countries in which
they act as bolshevist agents. So
Wet espionage abroad is largely di-
rected against emigres of all
parties. II being hoped in Moscow
that by intrigue these emigres may
be divided. The usual procedure for
the emissaries is to worm them
selves into the confidence - some
notable anti i-bolsheivst and to dis
cover his secrets, or, better still, to
steal his documents. In other cases
bolder methods are used. For in
stance. in Berlin. Russian Reds dis
Guised themselves in German police
uniforms. drove up in a lorry, and
entered the apartment of a well
known White agent during his alb
sence, cody making of with all his
papers. The German government
failed to obtain any redress.
Some days ago an example OF the
confidence game" was afforded in
the case Of two prominent anti-bol
shevist Russians M. Kerensky,
former head OF the provisional gov
ernment and NJ. Maklakoff. the am
hassador in Paris appointed by him
and who is still in charge of the
Russian embassy here. In both
cases young Prussians. whose an
tecedents appeared to leave nothing
to he desired, applied for work and
soon became confidential employees.
One morning NJ. Kerensky discov-
cred that his archives had been
plundered and that the young sec
retary was missing. Simultaneous
ly the youth at the embassy also
disappeared, taking with him sum
of 500 francs.
1t is supposed that the soviet
government was particularly an
xious to obtain evidence against the
Socialist revolutionaries who are
now on trial in Moscow. and had
hoped to obtain II among NJ. keren-
sky's documents.
