'That was pretty mean," agreed

CHAPTER Iv-Continued

.
The sergeant swallowed, and Vir-
gil put in his oar.
"You may be strangers, he said,
''but that doesn't put you above the
law of the land"
.'Nor, / trust" said Herrick, ''be-
yond the traditional courtesy Of its
inhabitants. What is your rank in
the police?"
Virgil flushed.
81 am not in the police" he said.
s'Then why" said Herrick, ibid

"My name is-''
81 have no DESIRE" said Herrick,
s'to hear your name" He returned
to the police. 'You were saying
that the matter was serious =. :"
Virgil looked ready to burst, but
the sergeant went straight to the
point. - -
ST will be plain" he said. "a lady
has been abducted-a lady of high
degree. She was kidnapped early
this morning upon her fathers es-
tate at Brief some ten
miles from here" He held up our
map. IT think you will hardly deny
that you know where that is"
IT have known where Brief was, !"
said Herrick, ''for % years.
The others stared.
Then

ent," said Virgil
Herrick raised his eyebrows.
"Allow me to suggest" he said,
t'that you should keep to yourself
such, er, discoveries as you may
make" He turned again to the po-
lice. eyes, gentlemen"
The sergeant cleared his throat.
SIN view, sir, Of what has &C.
Cured, I must ask you to explain
the markings upon this map"
''With pleasure" said Herrick.
Sand. I sincerely advise you to
tell the truth"
"You will find," said Herrick,
s'that we have nothing to hide" He
fingered his chin. 81 stayed at
Brief, as a child, in 1912. My moth
er and the Countess Rudolph were
very close friends. Happening to be
at Innsbruck a week ago, I felt a
strong desire to visit the castle
again. For various reasons did
not wish to leave cards. Much has
happened, you know, in % years.
My mother, the Count of Brief and
the Countess Rudolph have died,
the Lady Elizabeth has been born
and, worst of all, Tn told that a
vulgar BLACKBOARD, the son of an
uncle of hers, has the run of the
place." q:
A CHASTITY silence succeeded these
moving words, the police regarding
the gravel with goggling eyes and
Virgil, dark red in the face, sur
veying Herrick with the glare of a
baited beast.
Herrick continued agreeably.
"We, therefore, came here from
Innsbruck on Sunday last. On Mon
day we started out to try to dis
cover some spot from which we
could view the castle, without GO
ing into the grounds. We only found
one, and that was--too far away.
Determined not to be beaten, we
tried for the next three days-with
the aid Of that map. And all in
vain Last night we reviewed
the position, and found it fhis--that

Little Molly was visiting on the

an Interesting show in the league.
There has been a few bets in

wllsther or not the team will win
any games. I might say to those
fellows who are betting again
the team, they had better make
a good showing for the bet
terment of the team or they will
not be playing ball for this club
much longer.
Nothing much has been said on

During this time Of year streets
and highways are often made
treacherous by slippery surfaces
owing to rains.
While it is impossible to control
the weather it is possible to con-
troll the operation Of motor w.
hicles-and safe driving is Of i'm
measurable value in offsettinx the
weather hazards.
Consequent upon the inclement
weather and poor visibility that
mark the Autumn months, An in.
crease in pedestrian deaths can be
expected unless both drivers and
pedestrians exercise more caution.
Up to August / of this year, IS
pedestrians were killed and 19l
were injured on state highways
outside municipalities, according to
statistics compiled by the Traffic
Engineering Division of the Ohio
Highway Department.
As Autumn rains or fogs make
the streets and highways danger.
Gus, motorists and pedestrians
must drive and walk carefully 70
help reduce the traffic death toll.
