~ -THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1925 CHAPTER 58. At» the great oaken «portal of Ainsley, House) J. Reginald Ainsley paused to think. How was “he to break the news to hiy wife? The ransom letter had jolted bis. equili- brium,but he was not too disturbed to consider the . Situation ‘luctdly. At the moment he was not as worried about Amoura as about the way her mother would receive the news of the kidnaping. away, except on Sunday, in the afternoon, town club. “No, er-er."| He fumbled his hat in his hands until she took it from him and handed it to Della. ‘There's soinething I wish to tell you. . Now don’t be disturbed.’ Her eyes widened and, intuitive- ly sensing that what he had to tell her was bad news, her face be- came tense. until late lunching: at his Of course, Mrs, Ainsley had to popes be in the hall when he entered,| , Come into the lbrary and sit “Why, Reginald!

Her Whole being agitated now, she complied. “I’m afraid everything isn’t all right with Amoura,” he began, weakly. For a second she stared into his eyes.. “What haa happened, Reg!- nald? What has happened?” ‘Try to be im, dear... . Walt just a minute.” He turned again to the door and called to Della. Please telephone Mrs. Copley and ask her to come over immediately.” Then he went back to the Mbrary, steeled by the intermission. ‘It's just this, my dear, This morning I recelyed a Jetter saying Amoura had been kidnaped, and de- manding $100,000 ransom. . . Please, dear, hold yourself together. +.» Della! Oh, Della!’ Mrs, J. Reginald was deathly pale and speechless. The maid came running, “Get Mrs, Quick!” The maid, noting her mistress’ deathly pallor, ran to her side, “Oh, Mrs. Ainsley—" Mrs. J. Reginald pushed away the girl's .arm, and screeched to her husband in one gasp: ‘Have you called the police’ Oh, Reginald.” She sat back in the chair limply, “Oh!” she moaned, “why DID we- She could think of no other reason why he should be at home this hour of the day.

Regi- nald was seized with an inspira- tion, and redirected the course of the car thirty miles to an air mail field. There was a plane handy, Ho exhibited a filled purse, and in 20 minutes: was in the air, winging his way to Chicago, with the auto- mobile following him. Thus he reached the city about 5° o'clock in the afternoon.

Conspicuously placed were two highly polished cuspidors: but none-of the visitors ever called them anything but spittoons. By the desk was a calendar advertising an ineur- ance agency. The white walls were otherwise bare, except for ons pic ture inscribed “From the mayor to Hon. James McConrey.” This latter individual was the red. faced,-puffing person occupying the comfortable chair = behind the desk, Occasionally he was referred to as “Hon, James McConrey,” but to more thar: 30,000 persons of this seo- on of the city he was plain Con McContrey. He.referred to himself as ‘a friend of the people: the mem. bers’ of'a powerful organization call. ed him “the Chief” with mingled ar- fection and fear, and the newspapers often’ branded him a “base political boss." McConrey inspected his visitor over his jowls as he. puffed industri. ously at a long, slender, black cigar. “Look here, Pete, who ptilled this Ainsley kidnaping?” The other shifted sUghtly in his seat, and his eyes dropped, a tact that McConrey did not overlook, “I dunno, chief. What makes y’ tink {t-was somebody y" know?" “Y¥" don't know, eh?" McConrey puffed ashe spoke. ‘Haven't heard # damn thing, eh?" he. said, ‘insin- uatingly, Pete failed in“his effort. to hold McConrey's gaze, and shifted in his chair slightly again. “Well, chief, theyse some say that Loule th’ Rat and~ Red ‘Mike®* and .Shorty Smith Know. something about {t.'* “Oh!

I know what y' mean.” He mused again in lence, while Pete watched him, fascinated. “Look here, y’ find out what the hell Loule and Red Mike are doin’. They ain't got enough brajns-to pull anything like this. They're too dumb to away with it, It's gon’ to stir up a hell of a, stink and then where'll I be? Find Loufe or Red Mike damn quick, and tell them I want to see’ em.'” Pete departed, and Con McConrey settled back {n his chair again, his brow clouded, ‘It did beat hell! These dumb guys ellus thinkin’ theyse smart enaugh to get away with somethin’ big‘like that. They'd get nabbed, surer than hell, and he certainly could do nothin’ for ‘em in a case like this. And then his best strong-arm men, Loule and Red Mike, would be lost to him. Shorty Smith didn’t matter. And election comin’ on, too." More profane were succeeding thoughts. Shorty Smith and Louie the Rat, two of the gentlemen arousing thesé troubled thoughts, unaware of this impending summons, were at that moment squatted pn the ground be- fore a rough, clapboard cottage set In a grove of trées at a desolate spot on a tonely road thirty miles from Chicago. Evidently what Shorty had to say was highly amusing to Loule the ‘Rat. -He‘ypared=as Mike con: cluded his tale: “.... and dat was th' last I ever saw uv her!” Shorty lt a cigaret and gazed around him uncomfortably. “Wisht T hadda drink.” Shorty looked around him again, “Why couldn’t we run over and get a drink or two?” '“Mike said not t’ go away.... Tink she could get out?” “Hah! Hell, nof Every winder is nailed up, and so’re all th’ doors ‘cept th’ front one.” He patted a trouser pocket. “An here's thuh key t’ that." “Won't take us but ‘a minit will ‘No more'n that.

Twenty minutes leter & figure could have been seen crawling along the hidden side of the cottage from out a clump of brush. Suddenly the figure? that of an athletic young man, darted up, and the eyes gazed Into the window through « crevice between the nalled boards.

Then: “Pisst!* A girlish figure he saw di lined within, lying on a couch. ed and looked up’ y out- start “PISST AmowWa Ainsley's eyes tried to to cate the source of the sound. “Over here,” the voice of the fig- ure said softly. “Who is it?” she asked, excitedly, seeing the pair of eyes at last. “Be careful!
