The next instant he ran
through the restaurant and was
gone.
Dick got up from behind the
counter. He was a sorry sight,
with grease on his collar, a
streak Of SCOT across his face,
his clothes crumpled.

But, Polly" began Dick
in protest.
"You hear me-" said Polly.
II don't like your friends"
For moments after Dick had
hurried away there was silence.
Then Polly broke it.
Joe" she said. THAT bird is
as dangerous as a rattleSnake.
Hes got it in for you-trom
now on. It won't be safe
around here. They don't fight

clared Joe, doggedly. "I'll stick

firmly. I'm not going to have
you bumped off. You're going
away from here"
II WON'T" said Joe. Il won't
leave you"
But, Joe; I'm in the same
boat. I'm going with you"
"You mean-you'u marry me.
Polly" asked Joe, beaming.
II might-if you asked me-"
replied Polly with shy smile.
II do" said Joe, enthusiast
cally. "I'll go anywhere with
you, Polly. I was afraid you
wouldn't have me, Polly"

PEACOCK POLLY

"Paulita," he said, II heard
it all. And I think Joe Is
right"
'Don't worry about me, dad"
said Polly again turning to the
mirror to primp as Dick
gathered himself up from the
right Of way and moved OH
nursing his wounded dignity.
The crisis In the affairs Of
these three came two days later
at about the same hour. Again
Joe was eating a belated break
fast, having spent nearly the
whole of the night in a little
machine shop off his fathers
garage, where he was working
over a strange combination OF
valves, wheels and doodads:
Once more the gorgeous Polly
had turned to the elongated
mirror, doing her own beauty
shop work.
Suddenly she started. No
longer was she gazing at the
fair face in the glass. She was
watching the scene on the
street, nearly a whole block OF
which could be seen in the res
taurant mirror. She saw Dick
coming, not in his leisurely
way, toward the double doors OF
her fathers place. Once he
looked fearfully behind him.
Farther down the street she
saw some one elSe-Some one
that caused the smile to fade
from her face and a furrow to
show in her white brow.
Dick came into the reStaur-
ant, almost running. He paid
no attention to Joe at one Of
the little tables.
POLLY" exclaimed Dick in a
voice that showed fright and
appeal at the same time.
II know" said Polly. IT can
see-even now. Hurry! Come
around behind the counter"
Dick lost not a second in
Ooeylng. AS ne reaCneQ ner
side Polly seized him by the
shoulder and pushed him down.
Get under there!" she COM
manded. Lie down on the
floor below the shelf if you
have to-and keep quiet.
That's Gunner Fitz coming
along the street. Jim and Ike
were with him a minute ago.
I hope he didn't see you come
in here"
"Quiet now-not a wordI"
warned Polly. THAT birds al
ways got a gun"
The atmosphere in the little
restaurant was tense. But
Polly, humming, turned again
to the mirror and began arrang-
ing her coppery hair.

world knows how Hichman'S
promise was kept. The Chicago
kidnaperS promised little Bobby
Frank alive to his distracted
parents. And the child lay

when he ordered the pick OF
his men to duty.

his men out and stationed be-

low was probably concealed
somewhere near at hand. But
they would use extreme caution.
The darkness would aid their
maneuver. They would mingle
swiftly with the shadows-re-
main utterly quiet until the
man should come for the
money. Then all at once
seize!
And they would file In one by
one so that the kidnaper would
at first imagine he heard Bryce.
He would suppose Bryce ar.

stepped into the place q stocky,
scowling youth with a scared
face. He looked around inquir-
ingly.
Polly turned white under her
rouge. "Hey, you'll" demanded
the Gunner" oarSely.
"Where'd that guy go?"
Polly turned from the mirror.
what was it you wanted
coffee and sinkerS? she asked
ingenuously.
Don't try to kid mel"
snapped the Gunner" I want
to know where that bird went.
See. I got business with him.
And I'm gonna git him. See?"
Just whom do you mean?"
asked Polly, tantalizingly.
There's a lot of people come in
here"

the Gunner" where did that
bird go? If you try to get
funny I'll make you wish you

His hand rested upon a suspi-
cious bulge in a side pocket OF
his coat.

her hair. IF you mean Dick,
he went out the back door and
up the alley some time ago.

fury. I oughta shoot up the

dolly was q miracle" It
L was astonishing to realize
that such beauty had blossomed
in an environment Of Squalor
and ugliness on the lower East
Side. Polly was Zeigfeldian-
and, after one look at her, you
would no longer wonder why
she spent half her time at the
long mirror that bedecked the
wall behind the counter In her
fathers little corner delicateS-

Polly was vain. She had q
right to be. NarciSsuS-like, she
gazed at her own perfection Of

rouge and lipstick.

aged to survive-a pair OF the
uttermoSt contrast.
The one who seemed to have
the inside track for the moment
was "Dapper Dick" always a
fashion plate, gentleman Of
leisure a furtive, rather good
looking chap, who never talked
about his source Of income,
which was suspected to be q
racket"
The other young man in the
field was Joe, quiet, studious
lad, who was admittedly the best
mechanic in his fathers garage
up the street, who had resisted
the lure of false heroiSm in
gangdom and to whom names
such as Edison and Marconi
meant everything that was
great and glorious.
But even though he was a
dreamer, Joe was neither a
weakling nor a shy ascetic.
He proved that on the occa-
sion Of his first clash with Dick
in the very restaurant where
Polly was the presiding goddess.
Dick was urging Polly to go
to a certain midtown night
club. Joe happened to know
about that club. He had just
finished his breakfast and come
to the counter to pay.
Polly was parrying Dicks ur-
gent plea for her company.
That's no place to take a
lady" proclaimed Joe.

back to your garage" sneered
Dick. who asked you to butt

Don't 60 to that Joint,
Polly" Joe pleaded. "T'Il take
you to the best show on Broad
way"
Another word from you and
I'll throw you out of here!" de-
clared Dick.
Joe ignored him. "How about
it, Polly?" he asked. The next
instant Dick had seized him. In
the struggle that followed a
table was knocked over and
Dicks snappy derby was stepped
on, but it was Dick who landed
fatty on the sidewalk, not Joe.
The disturbance brought
little weakened weak-eyed man
in soiled white apron from
the rear Of the place. One
wondered how he could be the
father Of Polly, but he was.

Caldwell performed back in 1885

relieved these symptoms so

posts Of Hope. Hang through
the black night with the vision

Barbara Bryce sat with her
eyes closed and her hands
pressed against them. She tried
to shut out the wild and utter
desolation into which she now
sank. She murmured blankly:
IT can endure no more ."
Her father-in-law came to
her across great frozen spaces.
His words echoed forlornly.
Perhaps they took him away
In the plane. They're holding
him at a distance until sure OF
the ransom. It will take time
to bring him back. See-this
message was sent before the
ransom could possibly have
been acquired. Bear up. You
will have Billy soon!"
Ah-but suppose something
goes wrong with their plan?
Suppose they take the ransom
and successfully make the get
away, but it becomes too diff
cult to return my child? Sup
pose that-Bryce flung a hand
against his eyes. And suddenly
Sobbing caught the girl in his
arms: There is a God, Bar
bara. I have felt him these
days-when that woman I
would have cheated came-gave
me the money, I felt His Spirit.
He will not let our child be
harmed.
"By now the money has per
haps been taken. Barbara, by
now Billy is on the way back
to us"
Crouched In the brush with
the impenetrable dark pressing
on them, men waited. They
kept alert eyes in the direction
of the flume. They couldn't
see it, but they knew where it
was.
Not q sound came from them.
Little scurrying movements in
the underground, the swapping
of a dry twig or the rustic of
dead leaves broke sharply now
and then through the black
quiet. The watching men tight
ened their attention. They'were
poised and ready.
No one could reach that
flume; no one could remove
that square packet of bills with
out five men bouncing upon
him. Other men were posted
further up the hill. Any foot
fall-any human sound, how
) ever stealthy and guarded-in-
stantly they would spring with
flashlights and pistols upon the
1nCruder.
No one could come up or
down this foot path. And no
machine would pass on either
side of the flume without first
answering to the police.
Since II o'clock they had
waited. One hour after the Sec
ond ransom note arrived, the
police of two counties lay in
wait for the kidnaper Of little
Billy Bryce.
They threatened to kill the
child If any watch was kept,
