NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY With & sigh of relief, Charlie sank Into & chair and busied himself in rolling & succession of clgarettes, “Perhaps a finger-print man could ip us?” nger was still dwelling on this theme. “That letter and the photograph mupt have been handled by the person who put them in the snvelope, and it might be—?" At last Charlle could unleash him- wlf. “Good Lord, Lorry!" There was aotual entreaty in his voice. “Won't you understand? Won't yqu realize What we are up against? 2\'0\. talk sbout making those people pay, and st here weaving kindergarten schemes fo trap them; and all the time they've got you sewed up tighter than a drum, fhey've got. your daughter in thelr Bands, and they tell you plainly that £, you don’t come across with & hun- fred grand by tomorrow—and play square with them, too—you'll never seé her again. What are you going to do about that?” Ranger flinched for a moment be- fore this vigorous presentation, but be rallied. “Why, if I can't do anything else, I'll deposit the bonds as directed, and then have enough men close at hand to nab whoever comes after them.” “And you expect 'em to walk un- suspectingly right into your bunch of pabbers? Lorry! Lorry! A wop kid- papper from the East Side would know better than to fall for a game like that. Do you know this place where you're supposed to plant the bonda?” “Certainly. Behind a loose stone In’ the ‘arch#%ay where the Lone Hill toad runs under the rallroad tracks.” “Got a picture of the locality in your mind?" “T know it well; travel every time I motor out to our place In Westchester.” “80 do 1 know it mouth widened comically. “'Got . chased through there once by a farmer's watch-dog.

So, with dozens of automobiles of all Kinds passing along that road all the tima, your watchers would have to he pianted practically in plain view to see the one that stops and gets the fack.” Ranger, when he gave it thought, could not well deny the strength of the objection. His head dropped, the worriéd lines began to reappear in his face. “And now, this.” Charlie caught up the letter from the Combine. “You say, you found it on your desk when you come back from luncheon. Any idea how it got there?” “I meant to speak about that.” anger's mouth tightened ominously. “I've had everybody in the building questioned, but no one admits being near the office.” ¥ “What does Bryan say?” “I haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet. He left before I didyto go to Newark, and hasn't got back yet. I don't see—" He shook his head perplexedly. “But anyhow,” he grew grim again. “I'm going to give him his walking papers—on suspi- clon.” . “I wouldn't,” Charlie demurred. ¢You want a fellow of that kind where you can keep an eye on him. Show him this letter and consult him about it. You won't learn, anything, but it will make him feel easy. Then raise his salary. Tell him you want to show your appreciation of his Charlie's L.of ‘masonry between 50 and “I've got an idea, Lorry,” he sald ut last; “but | don't want fo talk about it, even to you.

Where the Lone Hill road, one of Westchester County’s main traveled thoroughfares, dips under the railroad tracks, it passes through an archway 75 feet long; and as this archway is high enough to accommodate a load of hay, and the surrounding country is one of level fields, the approach on eilthEr side is through a steep, walled cut. But Charlie thought he saw a ‘way to get around these unpromising con- ditions. He did not go home that night after leaving Ranger’s office, but that way instead registered at a cheap BEast Side hotel whereshe spent the evening in an exhaustive study of an auto- mobile road-map of County. About 2 o'clock he came down stairs and passed out, casually re- marking to the night clerk that he was wakeful and thought he would take a walk before he turned in. At a garage eight or ten away where he had left his motor- cycle, he got it, and chugged briskly over the Wililamsburg bridge as if heading for his lodgings. On the other side, though, he deviated from the direct route, and twisted aimless- ly through a succession of jli-lighted, tenement streets until he was sure he hall thrown off any one who might be trying to trail him, when he turned nofth, and crossed back to Manhat- tan by way of the Queensboro bridge at Fifty-ninth street. Dawn found him at a little patch of woods along the railroad track about half a mile distant archway at the Lone'Hill road cross- ing, where the ashes of a burned-out litter of camp-fire and a scattered rags, newspapers, old tin worn-out shoes “jungle,” Beside it ran a back road, more than a wagon-track, crossing the railrdad here on the level, and fork- ing into the Lone Hill road a quar- ter of a mile beyond. cans #nd by-way again intersected the main road about a mile and a half above, and he remembered that it marked as rough and passable for machines in emergency. The wise campaigner, leaves nothing to chance. to make sure that it was open and without obstructions, Charlie though, stand for Westchester blocks from the betokened a hobo From his study of the map, he knew that this was bumpy but case of In order rode No suppositorjes | the U, B and Ca ox, But do not I tute, Hend your name an on coupon for free trial pacl FREE SAMPLE COUPON PYRAMID DRUG COMPANY, D A ironan, i, Kindly send me & Free sample of Pyramid Pile Suppositories, in plain wrapper, Name Street City still large enough to hold a package of securities, Charlie elimbed back on his motor- cycle, and returned to the “jungle." He appeared, as he had expected, to have it wholly to himself. This was a season when, Its nomadie habitues were more apt to be in the West, fol- lowing In the wake of circuses and street fairs, or answering the need for harvest hands. The ashes of the last camp-fire were at least - three weeks cold, Never the less, as a proper measure of precaution, he scouted through the entire pateh of woods, and as the light grew stronger climbed a tree to reconnoiter the surrounding country. He slid down from the tree, and after hiding his motorcycle carefully under a pile of brush, laid down in a sandy hollow and pulling his hat over his eyes, prepared to sleep. When he awoke several hours later, the sun was warm on him, and he lay luxuriously for a while listening to the varied and various wood sounds, all long familiar to him. Finally he rolled over and pulled out his watch, It was almost 11 o'clock. He ate from his package of sand- wiches, uncorked the'thermos hoftle; then rising, swung himself up with a good deal of agility into the tree under which he had been sitting. The hours passed on. -~ The sun had crossed the zenith and declined to- ward the west. Charlie in his leafy retreat disposed of his remaining sandwiches and what was left of the coffee in his thermos bottle, The rest of the time he put in at timing automobiles. At half-past three, Ranger's big touring car came along from the di- rection of town. Through the glasses, Charlie could recognize the figure of the manufacturer himself in the driver's seat. He was _ quite alone; and as he neared the crossing, seemed to be glancing to right and left. “Wondering what I'm. up to, 1 guess,”” chuckled Charlle. Yet his complacency did not keep him from very carefully timing the pace of the car as it swept along over the marked course., As it happened there was nothing else in sight when Ranger reached the cut, and he drove straight ahead. VAt the rate he's ' traveling e ought to be out in one minute and 17 seconds,” Charlie calculated, “We'll get a line now on just how Jong it takes to pull out that stone and put it back again.” But it was almost five minutes be- fore Ranger reappeared on the further side of the crossing. “He'd be careful and a little slow,” Charlie reflected; *'so that's no fair criterion. 1'd say, though, that any- thing that stayed down there longer than two minutes wds a pretty safe bet to follow up." .
