His voice was not familiar. Ger
tainly 1t had no foreign accent.
A second voice spoke up in q
monotone. Agatha was confused
for 4 moment. until she recognized
1t as a short-wave radio. The driver
had stopped not only to eat his
! breakfast, but to listen more easily
to the police calls. The announcer
was giving routine orders to his
police cars.
Swell view from here, :" the hid
den driver observed. His mouth was
full OF sandwich.
Agatha pressed her face against
the screen. She couldn't see him,
but she looked down over a fringe

sea Of billowy fog stretched away
toward the golden sunrise, seem
.ngly as substantial as a sea OF wa

was the valley. 1t seemed they were

tinued. Attention. all cars! The

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE


DESPITE THE warning from
the man who leaped into the room,
Agatha opened her mouth to
scream.
A choking cloud OF gas hit her
and she reeled dizzily. The room
seemed full OF men, although there
could not have been more than two
or three. One OF them grabbed her.
Befuddled by the gas attack. she
was unable TO resist in the split
second before a dark bag was
thrown over her head and forced
into her mouth by a rope that was
whipped around her head and
drawn tight
She could scarcely breathe, let
alone scream. now. Everything was
dark and horrible.
She felt herself lifted by strong
arms and shaken back to full con-
sciousness. Don't faint on me
now" cultural voice whispered
Walk"
She was pushed out into the hail,
down the stairs Sounds ahead OF
her indicated that Clemantine was
being taken FIRST, but the whole
nightmare was evolving with such
quiet speed that apparently no one
else in the house had been swsk-
ened.
Out on the front door Agatha
stumbled always supported by
those strong arms. She heard the
sound Of an automobile engine run
ming at the curb. A moment later
she was advised to step up. and
duck your head, sister. You're 60
ing for a ride" She collapsed on
the rear cushions of the car. Beside
her was someone else whose trem-
bling hand found hers and pressed
II tight. Clemantine!
A hand less gentle jerked the
rope that held the gag. The sack
was snatched off hef head.
Just in case anybody's head
lights shine into this car" said the
man in the doorway. The street
light was behind him and Agatha
could see nothing of his face. The
driver will have a gun and won't be
afraid to use it, so don't try to at
tract attention. Just to be sure, I'm
going to snap these handouts on
your wrists-like this-and lock
you to the robe rail, like thisu"
The car shot away from the curb
with tires screaming. Agatha was
thrown against the side as it made
a quick turn in the street and
headed eastward.
Where are you going with US ?"
demanded Clemantine, How dare
you kidnap u.s."
The driver, now the only man
with them, was busy watching the
street and the rear view mirror.
Don't ask questions. You won't
get answers"
The car roared straight past the
campus, as though it purposely
was trying to attract attention.
But six blocks away it slowed.

Here's where you change cars!"
A panel milk delivery truck was
awaiting them. its rear door open.

their driver. He unsnapped Cleman-
tines handouts and prodded her
into the interior OF the delivery
truck with a pistol. And don't

Agatha believed him. He looked
like a criminal. short and powerful

himself.
What are you doing with US ?"
Agatha gasped as he showed her

The body of the truck swayed as

Agatha felt her way to the bench
and sat down beside Clemantine as
the truck started rolling backward
out of the driveway. 1t bumped
across the dip Of the gutter, stopped
with a squeak Of brakes, started
ahead, and gathered speed down
the street.
