When he picked up Cranfwd's hat hie mind was occupied with the girl's grim earnestness out there at I'ldgin. tbe htmdred dollars. He had uot, there¬ fore, observed things. Hut uow he had reason. He found the spot and studied the ground thoroughly. During llio ¦torm It had rained plentifully. Tho rati In tbe road Avere still damp and Impressionable, and out of those ruts Uncle Billy gathered his reading. An automobile bad stopped and back¬ ed and gone on again. Gooil many footprints, close together, and one long ¦Up wblcb trtUeU over the Up of tho road. This has been made by Cranford, fot he recognized the rubber spiUus of thu tennis shoes. There had beon a scrim¬ mage. But who would want to flght Mr. Cranford? was the question which was troubling Uncle BUly. Hm! Horo was a new rubber heel. And all theso footprints vanished abruptly. Three persons—and tbey had gono away In tbe automobile. Where? And why? Shaking bis head, be plodded back to the boathouse. Mr. Cranford bad been abducted. Most amazing! At 6 o'clock tbat evening be bad como to tbe conclusion tb«t aa a detective be was a blooming lizzie. He bad, during the afternoon, detect¬ ed new rubber heels on the sboes of ¦evea men—a guest at the hotel, tbe local druggist, a man wbo had a sum¬ mer cottage In the 'rlllage, the tin¬ smith, tbe hotel proprietor and the bar¬ tender. Tbe guest, tbe man who bad tbe cot¬ tage and tbo tinsmith all bad antomo¬ blles with the same make Of tires. Uncle Billy did not sleep well tbat night Neither did the object of all tbese earnest endeavors. Crauford's bedroom was a circular affair, windowless, whose sole entrance and exit was a trapdoor some flve feet beyond tho reaeh of his flnpers. Briefly, an empty cistern ih a desert¬ ed fannhouso four or fivo mllea Inland. Whenever ho wanted a drink ot wa¬ ter he had to grope for the pall. For nearly forty-elsht hours, two days, he had boen ln(!troerate<l in this lunsual prison. Krom the flght In the road dowu to this very hour not a question had been asked. He had not even seen bis captors since night be¬ fore last. Tbe candle thoy had left bim had gone out In a sputter of wax. Three matches left He fumbled them undecidedly. Surely they would return to renew his meager larder. At length be conld resist the temptation no longer. Ho struck a maUh aud found that It was almost 9.

Cranford climbed out of tbe cistern and stood blinking In the light of a detachetl automobile lamp. For awhile he remained at the edge of the cistern waiting till his dark smothered eyes resumed their func¬ tions. Then he saw Hancbett and Den- nlsoii and, in the gloom of a corner, a third man. Without thhiklng of tlie tinge of melodrama In the act Cranford flllod his pipe and began smoking. He had not dared to smoke In the cistern; ho would have suffocated. ,\h, bnt tho smoke tasted good! "Woll, gentlemen?" he said quietly. Hanchett smilod. Dusty, cobwc'bbod and disheveled, Cranford proscutsd roally a comic pic¬ ture, and tho sang frold with which ho lighted bis pipe mado bim irresist- Uile to llanchott's ovory ready appre¬ ciation of the ludl-rrous. "Cranford. \rt> shan't w.-iste tlmo beating about tho bush. It doesn't matter how or whon you loarued. We want what you took from ridgin Is¬ land." ¦What was it I took?" Hanchett smiled ai,'aln. "You can't pass your band np liko that. Cranford, we do not wish you injury or ineon- venlenco. (Jlover idea of yours to iiave that telegram delayed. Wo found It out, howover." Cranford hold his surprise In check. AVhat a womau! Not a detail had escaped her. "I dare say by this time you've been through my belongings at the hotel." "We havo," frankly. "And found nothing; oise your guide would be re¬ leasing you." "Do you want the truth'i^' ".\s quickly as you can give It" Tho prisoner smoked for a minute or two. "Well, thon, you've had all your trouble for nothing. 1 haven't the sllght<.'St Idea what Is going on, wbat It is you're trying to smuggle across. To this is added the fact that I should not teil you If I did. 1 realize. In tho parlance of your particular world, you are out to do mo for the crutches. Smead rose and limped Into tho light. "Cranford, give thom up. Otherwise, on my word, you'll stay here till the crack of doom." Cranford puffed and let tbe smoke drift up Into hts nostrils. "We haven't got all night" "You've got Just as much time as I hare." "Qlve bim bis bread and flll up tbe pall," said Smead. "Another twenty* fotir hours will bring him to reason.** "Would' you object if I washed my face and bands flrst? Water is neces¬ sary Inside, of course, but Fd feel a trifle more comfortable with a feW handfuls on the outside." "Get your pall," said Hanchett Cranford went down the ladder and fetched the paU. "Dennlson, I appoint you Gany¬ mede," declared Hanchett loftUy. "What's the matter with Fagin?" "Well, thou, FagIn, off with you t« the well." Fagln rettimed presently and sol down the pall before Cranford. "That's right; coildlo him." sneere*! Smead. "I understnnd your point of vlow," replletl Cranford. "'V'on do not un¬ derstand what tho word of a gentle¬ man means. I know aljsolutely noth¬ ing. Since I do not beliovo you intend to put mo ont of the way, you throu shall answer for this. I do nnt forget." "Neithor do wo, Mr. Cranford," said Hanchett stepping close. "We can .. ucti ..o yo« mean oy tnat; ue- manded Smead. "Why, he really hasn't got them, but knows who has.

Well, yes; we are both of us unhappy, only you nc- '.•ept your fato resignedly nnd I robot against mine, always and eternally. I rebel against the accident which makes me what I am, which stands as a wail between mo and wliat might lie.

Humble my pride in the dust for nothing perhaps? No. I can earn my living. I have been hurt, terribly hurt, through no tault of mine." "And so have I." "Ah, you thrust yourself Into that lurt! You were warned. Mine was fiven me gratuitously." "Dl, you are cruelly right In wh^ you say." Diana saw some ono coming along the road afoot "It's Uncle Billy. I wonder where he's been keeping him¬ self?" "Hello, Miss Wynne!" hailed Uncle Billy. "How y' gittin' along?" "Finely. Where have you been keep¬ ing yourself?" "Awful buay." Uncle Billy sat down on tho steps. "Had t' take th' engine all apart." "Too busy to como out and ask b"6w I was getting aiong?" reproachfully. "Uncle BUly, you're a miuhty poor flh teller. What has happened?" "I ain't briiigin' good news." "Is Mr. Cranford ill?" sho askod. "Not that' I know of. I was goin' t* tell y' tb' day it hapiioiiul. Well, Mr. Crauford's be'n kidiiaiied."

"Nico catch, eh?'' said the young man as he stopped toward T'ncle Hilly. "Not s" bad." "There you are! You guides will nevor como out squarely hi tlie open and saj- that the other fellow's got a good cat<li. It's rank jealousy!" "Mr. Hanchett, -Miss Diana \V.\nn(? wants t' seo y' out at th' farm right after HUii]ior." "And who i.s Miss Diana Wynne?" carelessly. "Better go 'n' liud out" With this advico the guido turned and mado off. Mr. Ilancliett frowned. "Fagin, you two will have to go out thore. I've got somothinLr equnlly im¬ portant on hand." "All light, D.jnny. Wo'll food him and wash his fac(! and bands for him. Tbat cistern was a stroke of luck." "I'(Tba()s." Diana! What did she want? What did sho know? Had Cranford made a conlidant of her? Later be told Smead. "Go ;iii(l lind out-find out what sho is doing UJI here. If .\oii don't get any¬ where I'll go out myself tomorrow." "I Shan t get anywhere. You may take my word for that. Shea's a ([uoer bundle. I'm all at sea over this fluke. Cranford, 1 swear, hasn't cot them." "Then ho left thom with lier. I'm beginning lo get sick of tho wholo deal. Why couldn't you lla^¦o taken them into .\ew Vork, or Boston, or rhiladel¬ phia? In tbis hole!" "I was watched day and night, save when I could slip nway.

Two old meu came In. One of them must ha%'e been very handsome lu his youth. There was StlU some evidence of this fact in the nose, tho eyes, the uioutli. His hair was snow white.
