notice when they stepped from the
car. A wild thought had flashed
through his mind to wallop his cap

away and then finding help to rescue
Nita. A moments reflection showed
Kim the folly of such a thing. The
other fellow would shoot him before
he had taken six steps. No. he must

for the affair to straighten itself
out.

Jack laughed-the ringing, mirth-
full laugh that invariably melted list

joke was, in truth, really worth a
laugh. Even the dignificd and right
teously indignant Miss Ravelie had

The man with the spotlight and the
trapped voice indicated that his clock
was ticking to standard adjustment,
however. for he said:

The fellow seemed to possess a
certain crude sense of humor, and a
sarcastic tongue, Jack observed, as he
bent his head and submitted to the
b~lindfolding process.
Nita Ravelle made so bold 40 to
protest slightly at the added in
dignity and was told in plain words
Of one syllable to shut her trap.
After this uncouth order she sub

tried to think where they might be

ordinary hold-up. He had $50 in his
pocket in a bill-fold. On his finger
he had a diamond ring that had
cost him $500. He had a watch val

removed-yet.
On her fingers, and in the shape
of a diamond pendant, Nita Ravelle
wore jewelry worth more than $4,000.
II would be a fairly lucrative haul
for the crooks. But why this kidnap-

caught and the heavy penalty at

destination? To what DEVILS hole

face towels. Evidently the apart

tastes. Three windows looked out
from one side of the big room. Jacks
first quick glance informed him that
exit through any Of these windows
was made impossible by a heavy wire
screen.

The big mans voice sounded like
the bark OF a sea lion, hoarse, with a
short, spiteful quality in its timber.
