i LADY SLIPPER Author of “MYSTERIOUS SWEETHEART.” Copyright, 1026, Thompson Feature Service, (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) CHAPTER XXXIV. Despair. NOWING now the worst that could come, Anne faced Straine, without flinching. “I'll be glad to tell yo everything 1 know, Victor,” she said simply, meeting his eyes with her own honest ones, “why didn't you Jet me know what you wanted. in the first place? It would have saved so much time and trouble. “3Well, my dear, believe it or not, as you like,” he smiled cynically, “I al- most lost my self control when I fell in love with you! Oh Anne,” and for a moment he relapsed into the old Straine, “I love you! Why couldn't you have returned my devotion! We could have been so happy, so congen- iaf Our tastes are the same, our—." You're going just a little too far,” Anne broke in coldly, “I may be a but I'm not a thief—a mur- ! What is it you want to Straine stiftened. His eyes flashed. | “Your father has the formula for a death ray, as well you know my dear girl. I want that!” Anne stared at him in genuine sur- prise. “Death ray she questioned blank- 1y, “what do you mean? I never saw one!” “I did not say you had seen it. I want to know where he keeps the formula, that is all!” “But I'm telling you I never saw or heard of such a thing, Victor!” There was no mistaking her sincerity, and Straine’s brows, knit into a frown. “That,” he said at length, “is most unfortunate for we shall now have to inconvenience your father before we allow him to play on a golden harp for the rest of eternity. Too bad!" Anne gasped. “Victor!' she said, and her anguish would have wrung a heart of stone, “are you quite sure that dad had that ray? He always confides in me, and you know you are as closely asso- ciated with him as anyone has ever been, yet apparently you never saw it, either! Couldn’t there be some mis- take “We never make mistakes, your father stumbled on this ray.last year, and repored it to his government. The War Department ordered it destroyed, but the formula was kept.” “Then it's in Washington! Dad wouldn’t keep a dangerous thing like that, Victor, you know how good he is, he wouldn't hurt a fiy!” “Probably not, but thé fact remains that during the last war he was re- sponsible for some important discov- eries that were invaluable to his coun- try. And as you can well imagine, a death ray would be quite a card in some quarters.” “Victor!” Anne burst out, “who are you? I know now that you are not & Britisher! They don’t come into our country and steal from us! I know who you are, you're a Russian, and Sonia is your wife! Where's poor Lady de Vere, what did you do with her?” “Quietly, quietly, my dear, it won't help you to be inquisitive. Sonia doe§ not happen to be my wife. I'm a bachelor, and as far as Lady de Vere is concerned, I never laid hands on the woman!" “Somebody threw her overboard! You know about everything that went on aboard the steamer! You forged the letters, you made me go to Mr. ‘Winston’s room!" “Anne!” Straine seized her wrist, turning it till she cried for mercy, “what do you mean about forging letter, tell me at once! I never sent you to Winston’s room, you must be crazy!” “Then who did? Your Russian com- panion? Oh, you needn’'t tell me you're imnocentl . You.needn't try to make me believe you didn’t put that glass slipper into my room, and the other one in Chris’ bed! You wrote his letter to me, and mine to him! Oh, how blind I have been, how stupid and how wrong!” And tears sprang into her eyes. Poor Anne was nearly at the end of her rope. Straine released his hold upon her, and his face set into new and terrible lines, made Anne tremble. 'So that was it!"” he sald in a hard voice, his lips barely moving, “that was it! It wasn't Winston, fool that I was! She played me false! Anne, watching him through her tears, could not understand his mean- ing, but she saw that a new element had entered into this critical siuation. Her words had brought unwelcome [ By Ella Wister Haines Ine. despair. Hope is dead, only you can save us all. Your heartbroken Anne.” “Well,” sald Straine, as he took the letter from her inert fingers, pausing to look upon her bright head, bent so pathetically under the terrible ordeal she had come through, “this ought to do it! All you need to do now is to wait till I return. This is Sunday. They cannot land till late Wednesday night or Thursday morning and it may be Thursday night before you get any word. You will be quite safe here. I see that you have been afrald to eat, fearing drugs, I suppose. You need have no worry on that score. I have no desire to do away with you, alas, I care too deeply to want a hair of your precious head to be injured, but there are some things bigger than love for a woman, Anne! Some day you may understand! Walit here, *he bent over her, his hand resting for a moment on her head, ““trust me. And all will be welll” And stooping low his arms went around her. One mo- ment and she was crushed against him, the kisses rained upon her hair, her face, her lips, then he released her and was gone, closing the door behind him. Anne threw herself onto her bed, trembling violently. All self control had fled, her head throbbed, the room revolved around her. What had she THE EVENING STORY Pursuing the Serpent. THINK_ mother,” said long- legged Prof. Banker, taking off his glasses and polishing them, “that I will get up early and g0 to the woods for some snakes. I want them for my classes, and this hot weather should be ideal for getting them.” “Very well, Charley,” answered his gentle little mother, “and I will get up, too, and get your breakfast,” “No, I won't allow that I can eat any time.” “That is just the trouble—you will forget all about your breakfast. Yes, vou will I know you—don’t you often g0 to bed with your glasses on, and didn't you actually dress one day with- out removing your pajamas? Very well, then,” as he still protested. “I will put a box lunch in the wagon tonight, if you will promise me to eat it on your way to the woods.” So, like a dutiful son, he promised and went to bed. When the faithful alarm clock clanged in the early morn- ing the professor dressed quietly, slip- ped out, hitched up the old horse and drove to the woods. By the middle of the morning he was tired. It had been good hunting for snakes and his cages were full. His beautiful specimens were stored carefully in the wagon and he was preparing to untie his horse when he saw an enormus black snake glid- ing under the ferns. It would never do to miss that one! “Oh, what a beauty!” he cried “Do 143 done? Turned traitor to her coun- t Why had she written the letter? Why had she not been brave enough to die, then and there! “But it was for dad and Chris, too!” she tried to exonerate herself, I was justified in saving them! I wi X know I was!” And now her suffering was more acute than at any time. She despised herself, and knew that her father and Chris would despise her, too. Perhaps he’ll never reach them with the letter,”” was her one gleam of comfort, and with all her heart she prayed that this might happen. “What was I thinking of. What kind of a hold has this man upon me? I think he must have hypnotized me! I've been like putty in his hands, from the very beginning!” She gave way to tears, sobbing for hours. The entrance of Pedro with another tray of food inade no impres- sion. She was dead to all sensations but grief and despair. After a time self-preservation, the first law of nature, asserted itself once more. Why not make one last at- tempt to escape? Anne sat up and dried her tears, calming herself with an effort. She must think clearly, and she began to review the information secured from Straine. As she consid- ered it she began to gather courage. The man had admitted that the United States Government authorities were after him and his companion. Wins- ton and his mother were detectives and Straine had included Chris in his summing up. All three of them, there- fore, if Chris were still alive (a thought which made Anne shudder as she re- membered her last view of him div- ing into the Caribbean Sea) must be searching every inch.of the Canal Zone. Might they not be as clever as Straine? Was there not a possibility of being rescued before her father could land on the Zone? Straine would not do away with her until then, she was certain. The more Anne considered, the more hopeful she became. This was Sun- day, nothing could happen before Thursday, a long, long time! The Zone was not such a big place. She must be foynad! But what kind of a house was this? She was evidently in a queer inner room, one of those secret places one reads about in fiction. The doors and windows were not real, merely built in to inspire fear in the prisoner. Once again she climbed the stairs and ex- amined each one, and was even more convinced that her idea was correct. Opening her own door, she went into the passage, lamp in hand, but found, as she had supposed, that it led to a locked door. Listening closely at the keyhole, she heard voices, but the words were indistinguishable, and she retraced her steps to her prison cell and sat down again, waiting. Days and nights would be passed in this gloomy silence. Pedro would be her only visitor, for Anne felt that she would never see Straine again un- til her deliverance. “He does love me,” she reflected; “hew strange! How far a person will go for love?” She was thinking again of Chris, her heart warming at the memory of his loyalty. “He trusted me on the steamer! He wouldn’t belleve that I was guilty of Lady de Vere's disappearance. Oh, if news to her captor, and the knowledge ®ave her a little hope. “Do you mean that you didn’t write those letters, or do the other things, Victor?” she asked timidly. ‘Why did you come with me upon the ship? To make me marry you? “Believe what you like,” he replied indifferently, “I repeat just one thing. If I have failed in my duty to my country it is just for one reason. 1 fell in love with you. Many & man has been ruined by a woman, you are but another Helen of Troy!” “Victor, if I could only see Dad I'a be willing to ask him for this ray! Is it of great value?” ““Worth millions, but he will not sell, Anne, why should he? Except for one thing perhaps, to save you! My dear girl, if you will write your father a note at my dictation you may Vet eee once more the light of day.” “I'll write,” Anne agreed without the slightest hesitation, “give me pen- cil and paper. But how will you get such a letter to him, Victor? By cable?” “No. He is on his way to Pan- ama now, with Mr. Kean and his wife. They sailed from New York yesterday morning!"” - ““Oh!” Anne drew a long breath. “Then you'll meet him at the steamer end tell him you're holding me for rensom?” said Straine, “if we “If your Government authorities do not get a sudden gleam of intellig- ence,” Straine sneered, so far we have outwitted them at every turn!” “Do you mean that there were de- tectives on our steamer?” “Most certainly, my child! Winston and his mother, i she is his mother, €0 say nothing of your beloved Chris- topher himself! “Oh, not ris, Victor, I know he wasn’t after you! He make me come back to h. alll He didn’t have a thing against you, I know he didn't”” And Anne rushed to the defense of the man she loved. Whatever happened to her or her father, Chris must not be in- said Straine,” handing her pen and paper, : Dearest Dad, I am a captive of Victor Straine who asks only a little thing for my release. He wants the formula for.a death ray you have in your possession. He promises to take this ray out of the country, and that it will never be used against the United States of America. He also promises that no- body shall ever know you gave it up. The Government will receive word that it was stolen by Victor Straine from your laboratory, Dad. Unless we give Mr. Straine this formula you will never see me again. I'm hidden where no one can find me, and I will live only a few hours after your re- fusal. If, however, you do give it up, I will be released and safely with you again before very long. Christopher Dahlgren will lose his life also. He is believed to be a dangerous enemy to Vietor Straine.

Don’t you know I have been looking for one of your family all the morning? Where is there a cage? A box? Anything— ah—that empty box! Not an ideal cage, but it will serve if I keep you cool—there—I have yor The professor’s long legs had cov- ered the ground rapidly while he talked, and the snake was overtaken and secured, coiled in the box, and the box tied up in less time than it takes to tell it. The box was stowed ander the wagon seat and covered with a plece of canvas to keep it cool. Arriving home, his captor put the box under the side porch in a cool spot until he could get a proper cag then he went into the house to change his clothes. He came out of the front door with his arms full of books and forgot his most precious find. Besides his usual forgetfulness there was a reason why snakes should be a minor consideratiqn for the moment. Just as he stepped from the house the professor caught sight of his pretty neighbor, Miss Connell, on her way to the university. He called her and asked her to ride with him. “You don’t mind riding on this high seat, do you? And you are not afraid of the snakes in the cages back there, are you? Fine! Up you go—I have so much to tell you. One thing, you are so different from other girls. Did you know that—'" as they drove off. It was not until some time later that he thought of his prize under he side porch and hurried home to attend to it. The box was not there. “Mother,” he asked in a peculiar tone, “did you see anything of a box I put under the side porch?” ‘““Yes, dear, here it is on the kitchen table. I thought you must have for- gotten it.” “You didn’t open it?" “Certainly not, dear. You know I never open your things.” “It's a good thing you have no curiosity, for this had a snake in it.” He lifted the 1id a tiny bit. The box was full of lunch! Mrs. Banker was horrified, “Charley!” she cried. ‘“Your sister Jane has taken that snake to the picnic instead of her lunch! The boxes were similar and were here on the table together!” “T will ride to the woods and warn them before they have a chance to open the boxes. They would be terri- bly frightened, and besides I don’t want to lose that beauty.’ Hoping to make better time, the pro- fessor hastily mounting his old bicycle and started after the picnickers, his coat tails flying and his long legs going up and down like the piston rods of an engine. I believe I intimated before that it ‘was a hot day. ‘When Prof. Banker reached the high hill overlooking the picnic grounds he was glad to dismount in the shade and fan himself with his hat. Looking eagerly for the young folk, he could see far below him the boys chasing a tramp and a farmer in the act of pick- —— light shone beneath her door; foot- steps, not Straine’s or Pedro’s, sound- ed in the passage. Anne’s heart stood still. Then her door was flung wide and a woman stood before her, a pis- tol in her hand. “I will shoot If ypu move! Stay v{her? you are and answer my ques- tions!” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) \WHILE PLAVIMG ALONE HE A COMCEDES FIMSELF A 10 INCH PUTT g TN e ———p—— kpnow, what I'm writing I'm so jgu‘o‘l ing up a box from the road. At that distance he could not know that it was the identical one he was searching for. ‘Warm, tired and panting, he walked through the woods, trundling his bicy- cle, until he came upon the girls and found to his relief that they had not yet spread their lunch. They were surprised to see him, but greeted him cordially and started to set out the refreshments. He explained his errand to the shuddering group, and the contents of the fatal box. The boys came shouting back, -full of their story about the tramp. It seemed that while the girls were gath- ering flowers for the table, a tramp had sneaked up and stolen some of the boxes. The boys had followed him and had seen him open one of the boxes and begin to eat. They had descended upon him, whooping and yelling to scare him, and had chased him as far as the railroad track. As the search for the snake had been fruitless among the lunch boxes, they conclyded that the tramp must have taken it and clambered down the bank to investigate. Reaching the place and finding the box gone, the professor remembered seeing the farmer pick up a package and drive away. If he wanted that snake he must :’da back u}a\ lg\l\'n in a hurry, before me one who didn't appreci. S should kill it, P Ao enakas Of course. the professor did not know the farmer, but had noticed that the horses were poorly matched, one being large and white and the other small and dark. On with the chase! Through the dust and heat—up one street and down another, around cor- ners and in empty lots, behind big buildings—until finally, with the aid of the local policeman whom he had en- listed in the cause, he found the team in the livery stable. The wagon stood ou‘t‘slde‘ with the farmer beside it. Pardon me for troubling you,” panted the tired professor. “But have you seen my snake? I mean—you p!ekgd up a box back near the woods, didn’t you? Well, there was a snake in it”"—and he told his story. The farmer, at first incredulous then amused, laughed. “Here it is, reaching under the wagon seat. ‘No, by jiminy! This box has a pair of shoes in it that I intended taking to the shoemaker! T've taken the wrong box! Come on, let's go!” The excited trio hurried to the shoe- maker's. Have vou mended my shoes ye,n'; shouted the farmer. ‘You know I haven't. I told you I was unusually busy today.” 'S a good thing you are busy! There's a big snake in that box!” "A'w. quit your kiddin'.” No, honest. Ask the professor here. .It's true. Where is the box: Isn't it there on the table? Where did you leave it. Dolmar?” “I left it right here. Has any one been in since I was?” “No. Yes, there was, too! Harry Hamilton! And as drunk as a lord. He'll think he's got 'em sure when he opens that box. I was too busy to wait ?en")flm, and he just took the box and “Where does he live? We must get to him before he opens it. The frlght might be too much for him in his con- dition.” The four men almost ran to the rooming house where Hamilton lived. They found him sitting in a rocker in the act of untying the box on his knees. “Don’t open {t!" shouted the police- man. ‘I felt something moving in there,’ murmured Hamilton. “‘Of course you di; fessor, “it's a snaki But the warning came too late—the box fell open and onto the knees of the startled inebriate rolled a big, black thermos hottle and a half dozen doughnuts. ““Where's my snake?” demanded the professor. “You can search me, professor,” mumbled Hamilton as he rolled over onto the couch for a nap. Sure enough, where was the poor reptile that had caused all the trou- ble? Why, curled up in the box under the canvas in the wagon where the professor had so carefully left it in the morning. All day he had been chasing the lunch his mother had prepared and he had forgotten to eat. THE END. (Copyright, 1827.) . Bank Employes Must Shave.
