WOMAN HELD AS KIDNAPER
GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE

GLOUCESTER, N. j., Dec. g.
Margaret Strater, the woman kid
naper, who was arrested with her
husband, Herman Strater, on a
charge of kidnapping three-year-old
Charles Stevenson, is still on a
hunger strike in the county Jail.
She refuses to eat and has turned a
deaf ear to the appeals OF the ma
tron to take nourishment.
She weeps almost continually and
pleads for her eight-year-old daugh-
ter Leona by a previous marriage
who is with the family Of James
Smith, near Clementon. She may
be sent for in order to make the
mother take food. None of the
relatives of the woman have come
to her aid. Her husband. also in
the county Jail, shows little or no
worry, but wants to take the entire
blame to have his wife released.

Carson, who seldom lost his poise,
with one-half of his brain still given
over to the hand he meant to play
with Poker Face, merely sighed and
shook his head.
Hampton came swiftly to Carson's
side. "They left the Lower End this

CHAPTER VIII
Just a Girl, After All

Hampton's captive, known to them
only as Shorty, a heavy, surly mar
whose small, closest eyes burned
evilly under his pale brows, rode that
night between Hampton and Judith
down to the ranch-house. He main
tanned a stubborn silence after the
first outburst of rage.
Burkitt and Lee, despite Judith's OBJ
jections because of Lees wounded leg,
remained at the cabin with Bill Crow
dy. Crowdy had lost a deal of blood
and, though he complained of little
pain, was clearly in sore need of medi-
cal attention. Crowdy, like Shorty,
refused to talk.

he was put in the small grain-house,
a w~indowless, ten-by-ten house of logs.
An admirable Jail this, with its heavy
paddock snapped into a deeply-imbed-
ded staple and the great hasp in place.
The key safely in Judith's possession,
Shorty WAS left to his own thoughts
while Judith and Hampton went to
the house.
In answer to Judith's call, Doc
Trip came without delay, left brief,
disconcerting word that without the
shadow of q doubt the hogs were
stricken with cholera, and went on
with his little bag to see what his skill
could do for Bill Crowdy.
Ought to give him sulphur fumes"
grunted Trip. But his hands were
very gentle with the wounded man, for
all that.
Pollock Hampton had no thought of
sleep that night didn't so much as go
to bed. He lay on a couch in the liy-
ing room and Marcia Langworthy, ire
.mendousIy moved at the recital Ju-
dith gave of Hampton's heroism, flut-
tered about him, playing nurse to her

complacently looked into the future
and to the maturity of her own plans.
Before daylight Carson, with half a
dozen men, had breakfasted, saddled

End to begin the search for Qulnnion.
But before he rode, Carson made the
discovery that during the night the
staple and hasp on the grain-house
loor had been wrenched away and
hat Shorty was gone. Carson's face
vas a dull, brick red. Not yet had he
brought himself to accept the full sig
l~ifcance of events. A hold-up, such

Shorty drove a big brutal fist smash
ing into his captor's face. But Hamp-
ton merely lowered his head. hiding it
against Shorty's heaving shoulders,
and frightened his grip. Shorty strug
gled to his feet, shaking at him, tearing
at him, driving one fist after the other
into Hampton's body. But, with a
grimness of purpose as new to him as
was the whole of tonight's adventure,
Hampton held on.
Judith and Lee and Burkitt came to
them as they were falling again. Now
suddenly, with other hard hands upon
him, Shorty relaxed, and Hampton,
his face bloody, his body sore. sank
back. He had done a mad thing
but triumph lay In that he had done it.

forced Judith to stand close to the
rock chimney Of the fireplace, tool his
station near her, and answered Quin-
MON, saying shortly:
Come ahead when you're ready.
We're waiting"
Quinnion's curse, the crack of his
rifle, the flying ~splinters from the cab
in door, came together like one I'M

"And now, Bud Lee" cried Judith
quickly, Il don't mind telling you, not

failure to appear at dinner was signif-

He learned from Mrs. Simpson that

not know.
Hurried lunch?" said Hampton.
"Took her rifle, did she? ?"
His eyes had grown very serious as
he stared down into Mrs. Simpsons
face.

Certainly a voice to remember, just

somewhat high-pitched for a mans,
