house."
He described Tuppence as well as
ne could, but the porter shook his
head. Several people had arrived by
the train in question. He could not
call to mind one young lady In particu-
lar.
Tommy rejolned Julius, and ex-
planned. Depression was settling down
on him like a leaden weight. He felt
convinced that their quest was going
TO be unsuccessful. The enemy had
over three hours start. Three hours
was more than enough for Mr.. Brown.
He would not ignore the possibility of
the telegram having been found.
The way seemed endless. 1t was
past seven o'clock when a small boy
told them that st Moat house. was
just past the next corner.
A rusty iron gate swinging dismally
on its hingesl An overgrown drive
thick with leaves. There was some
thing about the place that struck a
chill to both their hearts.
A turn Of the drive brought tiren In
sight Of the house. That. too, seemed
empty and deserted. Was 1t indeed
to this desolate spot that Tuppence
had been decoyed? 1t seemed hard to
believe that a human footstep had
passed this way for months. Julius
terked the rusty bell handle. A jan
Cling peal rang dlscordantly, echoing
through the emptiness within. No one
came. They rang again and again
but there was no sign Of life. Then
they walked completely round the
house. Everywhere silence, and shut
tered windows. III
Nothing doing" said julius.
They retraced their steps slowly to
the gate.

the young American. "We'd

'kirts of 1t, they met a workman swing

topped him with a question.
The Moat house? It's empty. Been
'mpty for years. Mrs. Sweeny's got

Tommy thanked him. They soon
ound the post Office, and knocked at

lean, wholesome-looking woman
pened 1t. She readily produced the 7

Julius drew a deep breath.
Il guess that settles Ii. She cam

Somebody must have seer her."
Forthwith the campaign began,
Julius wired to town for his car, and
they secured the neighborhood daily
with %unfiagging zeal. Julius was like
a hound on the leash. He followed up
the slenderest clue, but, as day sue
ceeded day, they were no nearer to dis
covering Tuppence's whereabouts. SO
well had the abduction been planned
that the girl seemed literally to have
vanished into thin air.
And another preoccupation was
weighing on Tommy's mind.
DO you know how long we've been
here?' he asked one morning as they
sat facing each other at breakfast.
"A week We're no nearer to finding
Tuppence, and next Sunday Is the
29th Today's the 23rd, and times get

out OF the station. IL reckoned you'd
come by this before l left London, and
wired accordingly to Sir James. He's
booked rooms for us, and will be
round to dine at eight"
Sir James arrived punctually at
eight o'clock, and julius introduced
Tommy. Sir James shook hands with
him warmly.
Immediately the first greetings were
over Julius broke out into a flood Of
eager questions. How had Sir James
managed to track the girl? Why had
he not let them know that he was still
working on the case? And so on.
Sir James stroked his chin and
smiled. At last he said:
Just so, just so. Well, she's
found. And that's the great thing,
isn't 1t? Eli Come now, that's the
great thing?"
Sure it is. But just how did you
strike her trail? Miss Tuppence and l

But where is she7" demanded
Julius, his thoughts flying off on
another tack. 81 thought you'd be
sure to bring her along?"
THAT would hardly be possible"
said Sir James gravely.
"Why2"
Because the young lady was
knocked down in a street accident, and
has sustained slight injuries to the
head. She was taken ;. the infirmary,
and on recovering consciousness gave
her name as Jane Finn"
"She's not seriously hurt?'

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like.
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..
