GE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phaso of The Hope of Escape Madge Cherished Only to Lose It There was no further word spoken by any of the limousine occupants until the machine stopped a second time. ‘'hat we had driven through an- other pair of gates I deduced from the fact that the speed of the machine had slackened to a crawl at one point, and then had increased again. Grace Draper's refereffice to the guarded in- ner gates of the country ecstate to which I was being carried was fresh in my mind, and I did not doubt that it was one of the guards who had opened the barriers for us and had shut them behind us. “What's the program now the big man asked, when the machine bad stopped again. “Take this beauty to the third floor for me,” Grace Draper replied. “George, you come along too.” 1 felt myself lifted by a powerful pair of arms which belonged, I guessed, to the big man, and from the manner in which he bent himself and maneuvered my body at one place, I knew that I was being car- ried through a door. The blanket over my face effectual- Iy prevented me from knowing actly where I was. But I could tell when the big man climbed the steps to the door and when he turned.to the right or left, and with a mighty effort I set my memory to work to count the stairs and the number of| steps he took at each turn to the right or left. Tt was the only effort of any kind 1 could make, although T had very lit- tle hope of being able to make use of the knowledge, and even that hope died when a few seconds after entered the door, Grace' Draper sai “Here is the lift. We'll go up this way."” A Vagucly-Familiar Face No chance to count steps now or have any idea of the way out from my prison house. 1 mentally com- mented that the house in which we were must be both commodious and fuxurions, and wondered the home of the mysterious man of whom Lillian had told me, the multi-| millionaire “parlor, anarchist,” whose identity as the secret power behind ex-| we | if it were; effective form than words. At lcast, I argued from her restraiut she could not harm me before permission was given bher by some person higher than herself in authority. She turned to a woman standing near, the woman whose face had seemed familiar to me. “Take care of her, Linda. the little mouthpiece out and her something to eat.” Linda ! The door of a memory- cell flashed open, and I knew why the woman's face seemed familiar. She was the woman Grace Draper had called her only friend-—the wom- an whose voice had brought me to the house in Hemstead where Grace had so successfully worked on my sympathy and had paved the way to the kidnapping of my haby boy.

She was telling him | about Frisky Squirrel. | “He's always hanging about the | farmyard, lately,” she “Scveral times he has snatched a kernel of corn just as I was going to pick it up.” “I'd chase him; but he's too pry | for me,” said the old dog. | ' | the gigantic conspiracy we were fight-| ing, Allen Drake and Lillian had be- gun to suspect. We left the lift, and after a few more steps of travel and maneuver- ing through another door, the big man stopped. “What do you want done her?” and his tone was that farm-hand carrying a heavy sack grain. “Set her down on her feet,” Grace Draper returned, and 1 feit the blanket snatched from me. I recled slightly from the sudden change to an upright position, and the pain of the gag in my mouth, and my ecves caught the astonished look of another pair of eyes set in a face vaguely familiar. “Beat it now, and let His Nibs know we're here,” Gggce Draper com- manded the big man, and he left the room at once. “George, stay here a little while. I may need you,” she directed next, then she stepped in front of me and her malevolent eyes behind her veil narrowed, and gleamed with pleasure. “At last !” she said. with of a of “I'm to have the gentling of you my dearie. They've promised me that.” “Shaking in Your Shoes?"” There was that in her voice suddenly had been enveloped in ice. 1 tried to brace myseif bravely to meet anything she might do. She heid my eyes steadily with hers for a jong minute, then gave a short, con- temptuous laugh. “Shaking in your sh: aren't you, you white-livered bal she taunted. “Well, i's no fun handling a cowavd. I'll wait till you get your wapdering ’ senses back. Perhaps you'll be able to pump up a bit of spirit then.” Curlously enough, the taunting words were a relief to the terror which had seized me.

Frisky Squirrel couldn’t get near you then." It was a fine plan. Grandma Goose tried it. But it was useless. Frisky Squirrel dropped off the tip of a low-hanging branch and grabbed a kernel of corn from right under | Grandma's nose. She lunged at him. And he leaped over the wall of geese and scampered away.
