CHAPTER XIX—Continued. mbling under his breath, the Swede turned toward. the steps, when Doc stepped violently back, with a savage “Hell!” Connemara’s heart leaped with a thrill as the two shadows in the shrubbery suddenly took on clear outlines and stepped full into the moonlight. One was short and stocky, the other tall and graceful In the hand of each something sil ver glistened, Then a voice that Connemara had last heard as she was struggling to kick off a pair of silver slipper: the ¢ k water of Lon Sound grated upon the air up your arms!

But in that moment, with an agility which startled Connemara almost out of her wits, the big blond Swede had stooped behind the wicker chair in which she was helplessly bound, and was dragging her, chair and all toward the open door of the house. “Go on and shgot! he yelled, mockingly. “Maybe you could miss her!” McTish, holding on her revolver, ‘ was leaping ridiculously about the locked figures. The flop of the Swede's flat-ron shoes diminished. A window was flung up, and she knew that he had leaped out. As she fought to right she heard the noises of pnmistak- ble conflict upon the porch. Why didn't McTish, shoot? But of course —he was afraid of hitting her. And already the Sw e must be creeping through the bushes, at any moment he would hurl himself from the ar upon the two unwitting re: With desperate heave she toppled the wicker chair from her back and rolled over facing the porch. One glance took in the situation. Scarce: ly a yard from her, Doc and the slim, tall man were locked {n what herseX, 1ers looked like some new dance step— only there was a silent grimness about the dance which froze her blood. MsTish, holding out his re- / volver, was leaping ridiculously about the locked figures, obviously unable to make a decision between keeping Sweetie covered with the gun and bringing !t down upon Doc's head. Sweetie, meanwhile, with tn- finitesimal steps was edging toward the very doorway through which the Swede had escaped, and within which Connemara was sprawled, Then it happened. “Look out!” Connemara shrieked But already the Swede like a gigan- tic rug thrown by an invisible hand, had sailed out of the darkness and completely enveloped McTish. Down they went. And at the thud Sweetie dashed for the doorway Connemara kicked out. Sweetle, brought up sharply in mid-flight, yelled, “Gawd! My shin!” and her whole body fell across Connemara’s chest. Connemara collapsed limply, but even as she felt that the breath would never return to her lungs, a voice inside her head kept insisting, “You must hang on! You must!" Sweetie was losing no time in re- ining her feet. Shaken though she was by her fall, she managed to grasp the chair, and had already pulled herself up to a standir posi tion, one foot upon Connemara’s shoulder, the other close by the prostrate girl's nose. ow she’s going to dash thro the door! Stop her,” flashed new, insistent command throurh Connemara’s brain. Her ans‘y~ ing action was purely autumatic. She was a lady—all well and good. But there are times when being ladylike has its disadvantages, What would Saltonstall Cabot Adams, heir of all the codfish kings, have said if he could hav. seen his Cayenne Fairy suddenly dart her head in the direction of Sweetie's foot, and sink | her practically incomparable teeth into that young woman's plump 1? peculation upon such fs idie. Nor shall it be recorded here what Sweetie, striken with anguish, announced in a loud voice to high heaven. Backward she tum- bled, and again Connemara re: ceived the whole weight of a one- hundred.and thirty-pound girl across her diaphragi And this time blackness followed. For (she will never know in what manner) not only Sweetie, but Swede and Me- Tish, Lacy and Doe, as if by some prearranged signal, tripped over the two recumbent females, and form- ed oue of those quaint masses of humanity known to youngsters as a “niggerpile To the eternal credit of her red hair be it written that, upon open- ing her eyes some five minutes lat- r she did not utter those time-hon- ored words, “Where am I?” What | rhe sald was, “Well, for cryin’ ‘out | loud!"—a phrase which her Aunt Celimena would have recognized as sh that a. question | euphemism. It was an exclama tion denoting surprising; a surpris t due to the vision of Salt a Bing, in bathrobes, now on the | scene and engaged in apparently violent altercation with the red headed MeTish not far away; nor to the sigh of Sweetie, binding the familiar perfumed —_ handkerchief around her own calf and weeping gently the while; nor, again, was it purple and swelling eye, staring anxiously at her from a foot away, an eye whose pleasant twinkling had captured considerable of her in- terest when she had first climbed into a strange motor car many hours before. No what startled her was the fact that the owner of the eye was encircling her walst with strong tenderness, and his voice was whispering, “Sweetheart, Sweet- heart!" ne found the sensation singular- ly pleasurable. Why hadn't sho fought down the impulse to cry out? Too late. For Lacy, reddening, started back, relaxed his hold upon her waist, and burbled, “Oh, Lord, I was afraid—Thank Heaven, all right!” She sat up, felt herself gingerly, then smiled coolly. thank you Quickly she got to her feet, se rene despite the consclousness that there would be, before many min- utes, numerous painful spots upon her ribs, which would take on the color of Lacy’s eye. What a peach he was! And fearless, And so very strong! That steel arm of his about her walst But this was not yet the time for sentimentality. The fifty thousand —that must be accounted for first. She turned to McTish. “You didn't find the money on those men, did you?” she asked. Her glance strayed past him and scrutinized the shadows of the porch curiously. “Why—why, where are they? The Swede, I mean, and Doc. Oh, MeTish,” she walled, “they didn't get away after all?” “They did thot,” the diminutive Scotsman, srowled in disgust. “These “Quite all right, “7 EE EEE cc a re i Car Accidents TP Ne enee HILE railroad tragedies and street car accidents in the United | States have gradually been diminishing in the last ten years, the annual toll exacted by automobile casualties is steadily mounting, s the Stewart-Warner Safety Council for the prevention of automobile accidents.
