(Continued From Our Last Issue) CHAPTER XV, Hobart's reply was a smothered cry and Miles and Scottie had only time to regain the shelter of the rear staircase when Miss Drake swept across the hall and to her own room, ‘80 she kunows, does she?" Scottie rubbed his chin. “I wish to the Lord that we did, but it's my opinion we'll find out nothing more this night."” threw a few things into a bag and walted for the signal. It came and Miss Patricia slipped down the drive to where a limousine stood at the gate with one man behind the wheel and another holding the door. “After that things happened too quickly for her to utter a cry. The man took her bag, clapped his hand over mouth and bundled her in also, and they were off, She remembers sweetish smelling I wish you would deliver this let ter, I daren't trust them to the imalls and time is an essential factor, It 1s to Professor Nigel Lorton, at the Archaeological Museum.'

How did Miss Patricia happen to go there, and ‘‘Perhaps you had better read her letter first,” Zorn glanced about the ramshackle shed and produced a small, bulging envelope. Miles tore open the envelope and took from it two folded slips of paper. Dear Sergeant Miles: “Mr. Zorn will tell you how he found me and why I stayed away. 1 have promised him I will ceme home this afternoon. I had to tell you first, though, that I have broken our agree- ment; [ am sending word to Mr. Kemp to meet me and I mean to tell him as much as I can without being dis- loyal to my family. After all 1 have been through.I don't know what to think except that we have terrible enemies who will stop at nothing and 1 am nearly crazy! Please guard my father and the others well and find out what it is that threatens them be- fore it is too late! Don’t let them know what happened to me, I am go- ing to tell them I left because they treated me so sternly. The paper I am seénding with this will show you why I left the house without trying to see you and put it in your hands. I only found it a little after ten that night. Perhaps it will help you to trace the dreadful woman who wrote it and the men who are in her pay, especially the one with the tattoo mark on his arm.

They reached Freedale at dawn and Miss Patricia got down and went di- rectly to the Higgs place.” “Did she recognize either of the two men who abducted her?” demanded Miles. “No. But when one of them flung her traveling case into the car she saw that his sleeves were rolled up and a device of some sort was tatooed on one arm.” “Tell me how you located Miss Pa- tricia,” asked Miles. “The scrap of paper she had used for that message to Mr. Wells started me in the right direction,” Zorn re- !a moment held the detetctive rooted | look of |for to be acted on at Ito the spot, but the dazed | half-incredulous wonder upon the| the meeting | August 8, Permission was granted Jesse H. | wi V he glint as of womanisitace andthehs] | Beloin to erect an flluminated res- | dawning fear in her eyes. there was a crash in the and a man's bellow of mingled with pain. | assailed his nostrils stifingly a: from which a curl of acrid beneath the overturned tea-tatble.
