It is after midnight. Sud- denly they find their craft is being pursued by “revenooers."’ Conne- mara was expected to announce her engagement tonight but, instead, garbed as a man, she stole away from Aunt Cellmena’s Connecticut home. She accepted a ride from David Lacy, a stranger, crossed the sound with him on a ferry, and, af- ter driving across Long Island and boarding the yacht, here she is. CHAPTER VI—Continued “What the hell kind of game is this?" he demanded finally, “What do you mean?’ asked Connemara. “It's no game to me, I assure you,” “Don't get with me," Mr. Pooch snapped. “Didn't get a good look at you before in that ris—you ain't Sweetie.” “No, I certainly am not,” Conne- mara admitted. “I—I think there's been some: mix-up—." “Mix-up!

Indeed, he was aware of a distinct and curiously unpleéas- ant sensation of mental unrest. There were ladies, in various sec tions of the world, who would have been ingenuously delighted by the news of this condition. In vain had they tried, individually, to bring him to it, % In the first place—and in most of the other places—th were his thoughts of Sister Connemara “Sister!” he sald bitterly to him self as he stumbled along the ditch in what he gathered to be her wake. “Swell Sister she The comment pleased him, so low was his mental state. He repeated it, though inaudibly, several times, He even’ went into the matter on a large scale, and thought, grimly, that she was. never going to have any chance at the old but ever pop ular role of being a sister to him But he ran right on, dteh. along the 1924 Overland Touring 1924 Ford Touring 226 SOUTH DAVID ST. ft BIG SIX MOTOR CO., Inc. PHONE 1817 Just around the corner from tne néart of the city. It now seemed to Mr. Lacy. that from the first moment of their meeting, he had grasped that Con- nemara was no real nun. He felt that he deserved a good, heaping measure of credit for his. discern- ment. “Thought she fooled me, did she?” he asked himself, He felt it would be not at all unpleasing to explain to the lady, in somewhat full de- tail, how strikingly little had been his belief in her vocation. Now, of course, to have a young and low-voiced lac disturbingly fragrant of mimosa, turn out not to be a nun at all {s one thing. It opens up a wide Weld, givés birth to a serles of pleasant plans for the future, and induces a healthy glow “McTish!

And then there was his car, tosse And then there was his car, tossed side lke a withered violet in the Just of the road behind him. It would require an experienced work- er in mosaic ever to put it together again. The thought further de- pressed Mr. Lacy. It was not that did not know where his next ottawas coming "from, It was the money so much ag the prin- iple of the thing. Aside from a justifiable pride in the manner in Which thecar had come to be his, David had a deep fondness for it. He grieved for the sudden breaking-off of a beautiful relationship, SuUll David ran on, Into the dark- ness that had swallowed Conne- mara and Pooch so greedily. He loved the outdoors and couldn't get on without his exercise, yet the thing -was beginning to pall. The tky had clouded thickly; the trees, whispe"Ing darkly together like old vives In @ sick room, tossed their Soughs and showed the under sides of their leaves. Winds sprang up, it seemed to. David, from all directions, and not far off, thunder growled iavagely,‘In bis @ars founded the omplaining of troubled — waters. Phat ,»must be the Sound, some- vhere “nhead. “Well—perhaps the teoplechase would end. there Yrom behind him, Hoarse shout ings punctuated his. journey, Back- ward glances showed him a flash: light, careening Jike a drunken. fire- fly, as its bearer stumbled‘along the ditch. The mysterious © strangers from the Pierce were’ evidently go- ing right on through with’the thing. Their words were “indistinguishatie? but thelr tones indicated that thay: were calling upon’ David to stape ‘Yet, though well brought up, he pald’ not thé slightest attention to “'the remarks that they addressed { to him. f There was a report, from behind, and something whistled shrilly/en- tirely too close to his ear for any rea} comfort “The party," murmured David, ‘4s getting rough.” And so way the ditch.” David, quickening his speéd, camo. sudden- ly into close personal contact with the stump of a-tree that bad appar: ently died in agony. Simultaneous ly injuring his shin and his self-re- spect, he went headlong among Its twisted roots, rolled from them, over and over in the slippery dead leaves of the ditch. With but a few brief words of ty criticism of the dead tree, David picked himself up, found a footing, and started again on his travels. Again there was a report, decidedly closed this time. Again the sereeching whistle troubled his ear. “Hey, stop, will ¥ the voice back of him. - It added'a few words having .to do with its owner's wishes for David's future. ‘Well David! told himself, “we might as well get this over with.” And°he stoppéd and turned to face his pursuers, wearing an expression of courteous surprise. They came up to him, the first one, who - carried «the flashlight, swearing glibly but without inspira- tion. The light revealed him as a heavy, dark man, with more than his legitimate quota of unshdven jaw. He wore badly assembled garments, and affested a lavishly plaided cap. Of the second figure, David could distinguish nothing more personal than that it was con- siderably shorter than the first. David watched tho WUght glint along the shining surface of the first man’s revolver. The evening's events had taken on the quality: of a prolonged dreain. He had ‘the curious lack of amazement with which one meets all the outrageous new occurrence of a nightmare. “Doubtless,” he muted, “thin stout lad will turn out to be O'Mal. ley of the Royal Mounted.” bellowed (To be Continued) MOTOR CAR IN DESERT REGION IS DESCRIBED.
