gin barristers have attacked the State
board for failure to go behind those
votes.
On the State Board of Elections are
three Democrats and two Republi-
cans. The right of Republicans to par
ticipate in these primaries is disput-
ed by some members, but apparently
not by others. It is said that on the
State board are members who feel
that entrance 70 Republicans into
Democratic primaries is justified by
reason of their minority standing and
therefore their inability to have a
hand in electing their State and local
officials. That raises a fine point for
the higher courts.
The practical result of such senti-
ments could be this: Two Republi-
cans and one Democrat might decree
the Democratic ticket Whether this

would be very disturbing element in

denly the part of the fence stand
ing directly in front of the car,
slid to the ground. Nick drove
the car over it. Noel saw that this
part of the fence was evidently con-
trolled by an electric switch. No
one ever would have suspected
that it was a gate.
Nick didn't take time to close
the fence again, but began driving
rapidly and soon the car was on a
highway.
When they reached a part Of the
road where there was some scat
tered traffic, Nick slowed up the
car, ordered the young man to
get out, first warning him to keep
his mouth closed.
He stepped lightly from the
slow moving car, raised his hand
in salute. Then Nick was driving
rapidly again.
He was an expert driver. The
car simply ate up the miles. But
when they were at last on the out
skirts of the city, he had to slow
down again. It certainly wouldn't
do to get arrested for speeding.
This gave Noel a chance to ask
some Of the questions she had
pondered over for so long. First
she asked the name Of the blond
young man who had helped them.
She knew part Of his name, but
that wouldn't enable her to find
him and reward him as she ex-
pected to do.
Nick told her that his name was
Ray Vincent. Then demanded
brusquely: whats it to you?"
Noel ignored his question. What
about the Garwoods? Why was
I under suspicion ?"
Nick was silent moment. Then
said: Suppose you might - well
know now since you're not going
to" he broke off then, and re-
sumed after a moment. "You see,
the real Fay Garwood is dead.
The woman in her house is Agnes
Barnes, who was Mrs. Garwood,s
maid. It was easy enough for
Agnes to step into Fay Garwoods
shoes when she died in a little for
eign town where she was unknown.
and where she was buried under
the name of her maid" Nick
stopped then and gave all his at
tention to the wheel. Noel saw
that they were now leaving the
city behind. where are you go
ing?" she exclaimed in alarm.
Nick shrugged and went on with
his story. "When Agnes ana
Hichens used all the cash Mrs.
Garwood had on hand, a consid-
cradle amount, they came over
here to plan some way to get
more money. They were handi-
capped until you came along and
they found to their joy that your
handwriting was virtually identical
with the real Fay Garwood's."
Noel was almost stunned by
Nick,s revelations. But she didn't
have time to give them much
thought now. She, was too anx-
ious over Tdick's intentions. Il In
sist on knowing why you. didn't
stop in town." she said firmly.
I'll be hunted man from now
on, Nick told her. "Have to get
out tof, the country at once. Ana
I'm taking you with me-"

CHAPTER As

INSTEAD OF Nick, who was
supposed to be waiting 1t the
window to catch Noel - she
dropped, it was Bill. =
"Jus' what I tho't," he bunet-
headed man calculated, IS he still
held Noess arm in his powerful
grasp.
LET me 60" Noel cried, trying
vainly to wrench her hand from
his grip.
It'll let you go when I get youse
back in de house," he exclaimed
firmly. The next minute he had
lifted her to his huge shoulder
and was carrying her back into the
house, back up the stairs to the
room where she had been a cap
tive.
Where could Nick be? Why had
he failed her, Noel asked herself
the questions desperately.
The two men who had been on
guard outside the door stared at
Bill in open-mouthed astorish-
ment. Jumped outen the win
dow" Bill explained. but I was
layin' for her."
"A darn good thing you Was"
one of the men commented.
Back in the garish room, Noel
threw herself on the couch, and
beat with desperate fists against
the pillows, fighting back the
tears. She wouldn't give way. She
wouldn't! But she was much
nearer the breaking point than
she knew.
Suddenly she realized that the
blond young man had come quiet
ly back in the room. He didn't
even glance at her.
Noel sat up. I'm sure you were
trying to help me-" she began.

please don't talk - said ia
a hoarse whisper. /.
Noel sensed note of unNkeadi-
ness in his voice. She now knew
without doubt that he Was on her
side. This gave her a little ray a.
hope. If he had tried to help her
once, wouldn't he try to again
But for the present she decided to
do as he had told her so many
times. Keep silent.
The night wore On. Wnpl sat
still as long as she could. Then
she rose and defantly went to the
window. The stars were giving
way to the first faint streaks Of
dawn.
She expected to be commanded
to come away from the window,
but instead, when she turned back
the young man was looking at her,
a surprising warmth in his eyes. |
She came back and stood near him.

IT, ~:
II can't think why" he said, his
voice growing sullen again.
IT can think of a dozen reasons, I"
Noel said. Then added, "But Of
course if you won't tell, me your

He nodded grimly. "And be

my uncle is in Chicago. It
would take much longer to write
him. Besides, my money is here"

She nodded.
'Then all you'd have to do is to
write a check ?"
Noel nodded again. She was
going to write the check. Nick
had failed her. There wasn't any
thing else she could do now but
give in, although Nick had warned
her that they wouldn't release her
even then.

question. She told him and a

command"
Fifty thousand! That would
take about all Noel had. She had
planned to do so much with that
money. She took the pen, drew
the check near and began writing.
She was filing in the amount
when the door was thrown open
and a voice cried: Hands up!'
It was Nick. He was standing
there with a revolver in both
hands, one leveled at each man.

''Shut up!" Nick held the guns
while he gave instruc-
tons to the blond young man,
them out in his tight

them over in a corner-do a good
job and do it quick" Then he told
Noel to 60 downstairs and get into
the red car standing in the drive
way.
Noel lost no time in obeying.
Outside the door, the two men who
had been on guard were lying Sc
c,rely bound. Noel hardly saw
them.
Ten minutes later, Nick and the
blond young man joined Noel in
the car. Nick took the wheel,
slowly at first, because
there didn't seem to be a road,
just a sort of rough lane through
corn field. It seemed to Noel
that they were heading right into
barbed-wire fence. She watched

Just before they reached the
fence, Nick got out Of the car. and
