No, she would not think K.
Bar ear raced along, taking the
comers with more than her usual
teach et recklessness. Elm Tree
Lane. It was, aha remembered,
lonely spot tar on the edge ot
town. Tha tights ot bouses were
now few and scattered. la spite
ot bar Taunted courage Sandra
often observed tightly that she
waa afraid of nothing ahe
glanced uneasily over bar shoul
der as ahe drove. There was
something In tha air No, It was
just her nerres. 8he would be
all right ones she saw her father
and assured herself hs waa all
right.
There was a ear drawn ap at !
the Lane turning. Badnt they
sent for an smbnlance. the Idiots? j
Sandra wished she had telephoned 1
Dr. Keating before sha left. ak- i
Ing blm to follow ber. But her Then be strode toward the tele
brain badnt been working. Her I Phone closet. His reasonant
sole thought had been to get there I
at once.
Automatlcally her mind regis-
tered the fact that a man de-'
cached himself from the small ,
group at the roadside and moved
toward her. Indolent was his
gait, calm his mien and the ei-
cited girl, drawing up and Jump- j
mg out ot ber car, felt a flash of
Impatience.
"What's happened?" she began. !
-vrnere is r
wm got no further. A strong
hand seised her. She smelt some
thing sickening. Through her
struggles shs beard someone say.
"That waa easy. We got her all
right"
a a e
YTfHEN she swoke her arms were
bound to ber side. She was
bstless and her hair was dis
ordered. Her head felt heavy,
felt dlny, as If she had hsd a
blow. She was In an untidy room,
a sort of sitting room In sn ob
viously old house. An oil lamp
with a green shade burned In one
corner. Sandra was conscious of
eyes stsring st ber, boring In
upon her. Slowly she turned her
schlng head. A man, small,
crafty-eyed, sat In an armless
rocking chair a few feet away.
"Where Is my father?" Sandra
gasped. "What have yoa done to
him?"
The man grinned. When he
spoke his voice was surprisingly
low and easy, pleasantly pitched.
"Don't worry, lady," be told
her. "He's prob'ly back In his
own parlor now readln' the paper.
He don't even know you're out."
"Then he wasn't?" Even In
her terrible plight she felt a dis
tinct sensation of relief. What
ever these people intended to do
to her she did not know. But she
was glad to know Daddy was safe.
Wild surmises leaped to her mind.
Kidnaped for ransom? Yes,
that must be it. There had been
a lot of that sort of thing In the
papers lately. What a fool she
bad been to leap to their bait so
quicKiy.
She drew herself np, her eyes
fleshing proudly. "You'd better
let me go," she told her grinning
captor. "You'll get Into all sorts
of trouble. My father"
"Yeah." the man drawled
"We know all about him. Prac
tlc'Iy runs this town, he does. We
know. That's why ws thought
you'd be useful."
CANDRA was silent, ber heart
hsmmerlng painfully. She
must And a way out ot this, she
told herself. She mutt!
"What do you want?" she
asked presently in a quite ordi
nary tone, "If It's money, I
warn yon there'll be trouble after,
ward. You'll not go free, any of
won"
The man was transformed sa
an Instant from a grinning gar
goyle to a towering menace. He
stood over the lumpy couch on
which she sat, glaring down at
her. ,
"You keep your mouth shutl"
he barked. "You mind your
business and do as you're told or
maybe you'll be sorry."
McELUOTT
Sandra's haughty spirit fuelled
before this exhibition. The nan
produced a pad of paper and a
stub ot a pencil. These he threat
Into bar Angers.
"Writs like I tell you." he
commanded. His words now held
a faintly wheedling note. "Be a
good girl," be said, "and there
wont a hair of your head be
harmed."
Lifelessly Sandra took the pen
ell. The man began droningly to
dictate:
"Dear Father, I am ta danger.
Leare tSS.OOs la the old mill
bouse Just east of Somerrllle by
morning or they'll do eway with
me. No police. It will b bad
for me tt you tell anyone."
She lung tha pencil down. "I
won't sign It. I wont."
Tha strong angers gripped her
wrist, twisting it. "Yob wont
miasyt All right tbea, yoa'U be
sorry."
The foal odors of tobacco, ot
unwashed clothing, ot liquor,
choked her. She screamed. "All
right. All right. I'll sign!"
"That's a good girl." Re
showed his fangs, grinning a' her.
itTr7HAT on earth are you star
" log at?" demanded Mr. :
Lawrence sharply. The new
maid, tv-iing her apron, did not
reply. Instead she tarned like a
frightened rabbit, scuttling down
the ball, fat another Instant Mrs.
Peterman. red-faced, breathing
bard, appeared In the doorway.
"Ton, tirt Oh. thank God. We
I thought you'd been badly hurt."
"If Are the lot ot you oat ot
your minds?"
The cook stared, arms akimbo.
"No sir," she said nrmly. "Miss
Sandra had the 'phone message
and she went tearln or like
wild thing before we could And
out what it waa about"
"Sandra got a message about
mer What on earth t"
"Somebody rang p, sir. and
said you'd been In an accident
somewhere. She got her little
car out and went tearing to see."
"What nonsense Is this?" de
manded Gregory Lawrence. "A
nasty sort ot practical Joke. 1
should say. What time was
this?"
"About an hoar ago, sir, ast
shortly after you'd started for
your walk. I was settin' my rolls
for breakfast when the bell rang.
I said to the girl, I said, 'Get onto
that wire, will you,' and she run
for Miss Sandra like the man told
her to " ,
The man broke to en this, with
farious Impatience. "Kerer mind,
never mind. What did he say?"
"That I couldn't tell you, sir.
Miss Sandra rushed off like
something was at her heels.
Didn't say who It was called nor
anything."
Gregory Lawrence pressed bis
Hps together In Impotent anger.
Tolce could be 'heard plainly by
toe two women ouisiae.
"Glre me Chief Burkbardt,
Please. Tom? This is Gregory
Lawrence. Some funny business
at my house. While I was out
Jnst now Sandra got a message
tellllS ber I'd been injured. She's
s"one God knows where."
A pause during which Mrs.
Peterman rolled her eyes and the
new maid twisted ber apron.
"No. beyond that 1 haven't fha
shadow of a clew."
There was the sound of run
ning steps on the drive. The
cook, turning ber head, saw
small white object hurtle through
the front doorway. As she ran
to pick It up a motor roared away.
"Here's a note, Mr. Lawrence.
6omebody threw it from the
porch."
He took ft, still holding the
receiver.
"Walt a minute, Tom. I've got
hold of something." His eyes
scanned the page. He groaned.
meyve got ber some devils!
It s a note from Sandra." There
was a rumble at the other end ot
the wire.
"You're coming right over?
No, wait. I've got to think what't
best to do. They may do some
thing swful tc her It they know
I've communicated with you."
