For Beveral months , they were together, be ing transferred to the . eastern coast. Here they, became separ ated, duty taking them along dif ferent paths. Five years ago George W. Nel son went to work for the Capital Drug store. Two years ago J. H.

CHAPTER 49 WHAT SMITH TRIED TO DO Dicky's apparent absro'ptioh in Bess Dean gave me the chance I wished to fling another tiny barb at the man named Smith, who had been so insistent that the Mate troopers pot us under arrest fir the wounding of the young troop er. ' "I mean," J answered, looking him squarely in the eyes, "ex actly what 1 -said that I would like to know your own where abouts during this evening." v r I expected anything but a di rect answer to my question. That he would push m'e aside, call to the troop captain to remove me these things I was prepared for 1 only counted on keeping 'his at tention until l was ready to slip into , the car, thus' preventing the scene I knew he was prepared to make. But the thing he did sur prised me.' He snapped his fin gers toward the rotund little inn proprietor, and as the man obse quiously hurried toward him, he said between his teeth:. "I have been in this house since before dark this "evening, dined here. Kronish teirthis woman when I came here tonight; and how long have been here." . , . t "Since before dark. ; You "dined here," the man replied in parrot fashion. I looked around, saw that the men carrying the unconscious trooper had reached the car and stepped back with a little mocking bow to both men. "I congratulate you upon your drilling," I said audaciously, then turned and walked swiftly to bur car. ., . . t , . "Who is to drive?" Capt. Hast ings asked, as I came up. "I Demand the Arrest" . Before that glance I had had of Picky and Bess Dean, I would have deferred to him, asking if he wished to drive. But my jangled nerves demanded the . cutlet , . of driving. Besides, I had an eerie little feeling that there was some thing beneath ' this whole - attack upon the trooper which Lillian would wish me to investigate as far as possible. "I will drive," ! said promptly. "I drove the car down here." Behind me I .heard the tense breathing, the snarling tones of the man named Smith. , "Hastings, I demand the arrest of this woman." -. , By the flush on the young offi cers face I saw that Smith had over-reached himself. ; Aa "great man" of the region he had manas- ed to Instil a certain deference In to, the mind of Hastings, but it vanished at this blunt interfer ence. f -. - - - "Your request is absurd, sir," Hastings returned, "you have no PBDBIEMS j . til X'"ii..'r ' .' .

A Threat. x He bowed to me charmingly and courteously, and I climbed into the driver's seat of the car. . Mr. Cos grove and two -state troopers were holding, the sti-etcher la ; the ton neau level; and two "others were perched upon the running boards. The seat beside me was vacant, and 1 guessed that the young cap tain was to take it. i , "Yon' young fool!" A string of oaths came from Smith's lips. "I'll " ; . "You stand out of my way.pr I'll knock , you. down," .Hastings , de clared hotly. ."I've stood about all I. care to from you, 'We're Play ing .with death Jisteqing to you. AH ready, Mrs. Graham?" ' . Yes." I turnea my switch key, speaking to Dicky and Bess Dean as I did so. They had come to the side of the. car next "me ; when I entered It, and ,1 felt that they were watching me curiously., "Where will you be when Mr. Cosgrove and I get back?", I ask-f ed. . . . ; . ? "! Right here," Dicky replied, unless they chase us out. "Other wise we'll be strolling down the 237 N. Liberty St. 1 ; '.. mm: Directed By SPECIAL MATINEE 25c i!

Pipe Smunr -, He uttered the last two words in a whisper, and I turned my, head to We Smith's face fairly distorted with rage, fcis arm raised in de nunciatory protest at Hastings, who had climbed into the car. "So-o?" . He had drawled, the monosyllable interminably. ."You have forgotten your superior offi cer, Mr. Hastings, I think. Be as sured I shall get into communica tion with him at Kingston at once, and then we will see wbere you will land!" ' That he had drawn blood I saw by the change in young Hastings's face. But he had good stuff in him, and his reply was like the re port of a revolver.. . , ; "Communicate and be damned! Pardon, Mfs. Graham. Let' go." t ; But it was no part of my plan that Smith should make trouble at Kingston. With a swift move ment I undid the badge Lillian had given me and held it so that Capt. Hastings could seie it: "Advise' the gentleman to look at ,that before he telephones," I said crisply. i J ' ' (To be continued); Christmas to Be Observed ; M State, Penitentiary There will be no splurge at the state penitentiary; Christmas day this year, though Warden A.
