FORT WORTH it DENVER CELEBRATION
On Saturday hundreds of citizens from towns all
along the route of the Fort Worth & Denver will be here
to help celebrate the beginning of construction on that
railroad andithe beginning of a new era for the Eastern
Panhandle.
Pampa has the honor to be the host to the busy
little cities along the line, and should prove a most de-
lightful host. Many of the citizens who will accompany
the official delegations probably have never been to
Pampa and this city should be prepared to welcome them
wholeheartedly and to make them feel they are always
welcome here.
The new railroad is one of the greatest events of
the city's history and should be treated as such. In the
observance Saturday, Pampa has a chance to create a
great amount of good will among the neighboring cities.
This new enterprise marks the beginning of a more
prosperous era for Pampa. It will not only furnish a
good-sized payroll during construction, but will create
a steady payroll for years to come. The new rail line will
provide a more direct route to southern markets and will
Bave Gray county citizens money on freight charges
from southern points.
Completion of the project will see the dreams of
cities along the line fulfilled. It will be the resut of the
united efforts of the various towns. They all are to be
congratulated on their diligent work toward bringing
the new railroad into this rich and almost virgin sec-
tion.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
When Liane opened her eyes the
man was bending over her. She felt
cold water, icy water, trickling down
her neck. She put up her hand to
her head. Her fingers came away
rod. "Blood," she moaned faintly.
"You fool," the iron gray man
was saying. From her place on the
floor Liane could see him dimly. He
was In the doorway looking fiercely
at the man with the cat's eyes.
"You fool, you!" he repeated.
"Makin* passes at her and scarln'

and called in a raucous voire

A fat woman in a dirty apron
came. She had a red face with
creases In It and her hair was done
In a pancake on the top of her
head.
"Molly, get me some clean rags
and a pan of water," said the man
with the iron gray hair. The woman
ambled away. Liane lay there still
half daasd. hating the fetid floor,
the smell of blood and the Icy water
on her face and shoulders.
"I thought she was a goner," the
man nearest her admitted,
thought she had passed in her
checks."
"You're a fool," said the iron gray
man. The woman called Molly came

of white cloth, and an earthenware

The woman stood by regarding the
tableau curiously out of her beady
eyes.
Once she put out a soiled hand
and touched Liane's petal soft
dress.
"Pretty," she said wonderlngly.
Liane looked at her with something
like hope. The woman seemed stupid
but not unkind. But presently she
waddled away again leaving Liane
alone with the two men and the
girl's heart sak. She began to feel
desperately sick. Her head was giddy
and a hot pain burned In one temple.
Her teeth began to chatter as if
with ague.
"Oet her a shawl," commanded
the Iron gray man. The man with
the cat's eyes went out, grumbling.
Liane closed her eyes. The room
whirled around her.
Now the second man was follow-
ing the first from the room.
"We're not supposed to hurt her
—yet," she heard htm say. 8he tried
desperately to control her shudder-
ing, but failed. She was grateful
even for the comfort of the hateful
prickling robe someone presently
threw over her shoulders. She heard
the woman's cackling voice and the
iron gray man's rumbled command.
"Watch her a minute. I've got to go
to the garage."
He returned to Liane, shook her
by the shoulder. "Mind now, no fun-

Liane nodded.

CHAPTER XXVII
Cllve cursed himself for a witless
fool to have lost even 40 seconds In
fruitless conversation. "And I may
be going the wrong way," he
groaned. He swerved in before two
green lamps marking the police
booth at the crossroads.
"Qirl kidnaped from the Hunt
club." he said briefly to the uni-
formed man who stuck his hesd out
of the box. "We were told the car
headed back toward town." Cllve's
face was white, grim.
"I'll go along with you, Mr. Clees-
paugh," the policeman said respect-
fully. He spoke a few succinct words
into a mouthpiece before locking the
booth.
'This may be a hell of a wild
goose chase," Cllve offered, keep-
ing his foot on the accelerator until
the dial hand spun to 70. "but It's
the only way we know. There may
be a clue."
In the mirror he could see the
lights of the big car behind. Orlmly
he kept that patent shod foot on
the gas speed. There was a sort of
relief in driving furiously.
Fool, Idot, dolt! He cursed himself
roundly and silently as he drove.
To think he had permitted the child
to get out of his sight for a single
moment, especially after that anony-
mous letter he had received a few
days before.
"Watch out," the letter had said.
"The Powers don't want this mar-
riage to go through. Be warned."
It had been signed "Wall Wisher"
and Cllve had laughed it off as the
work of some harmless crank. Well,
he knew better now. Ood, to think
of Liane ir the hands of gangsters!
'That's a police car up ahead,
Mr. Clee.spaugh," the man beside
©
him said after a minute. "Better
draw up."
Two youngsters In uniform, six-
footers both, thrust their heads out
of the Ford and one asked. "Where
the hell d'you thing you're going?"
Officer McHugh leaned out into
the glare shed by the dash'lghts.
You kids get along there and let
the law take Its course," he ad-
vised presently. "Mr. Cleespaugh and
I are ori the trail of a Jersey sedan.
Seen one this way?"
'"Die woods are full of 'em," one
of the young policemen said. Then,
"Say—I did notice those fellers in
one that passed a few minutes ago.
The driver was all dressed up but
had a cap on. I said to myself that
was kinds funny—"
Cllve cried, "Did you notice if
there was anyone in the back
seat?"
"The shade was down. I didn't
think much o' that because some of
these birds don't like the lights on
the mirror."
"You're not bad, Delehanty," said
Officer McHugh with an air of kind-
ly patronage. "I'll be speakin' to
the chief about ye." The words
floated back for Clive was already
on his way.
• 0 *
Where was Liane at this moment?
Were the beasts frightening her?
Waa she in the hands of some mad-
men? Cllve shuddered. He said
aloud, "If they lay hands on her, by
the Lord, I'll—I" His hands tight-
ened at the wheel. The older m$n
glanced at his curiously.
"Take It easy, boy," he advised
kindly. "If if s Vfor ransom they
took the girl, don't fret. They'll not
mishandle her. They'll be wanting
your money. They'll return her safe
and sound. I make no doubt there's
a letter at the house waiting, askin'
you will you leave the packet at so-
and-so's corner."
"If it's only money they do
want!" Cllve groaned.
Officer McHugh said pacifically,
"I'd be slowln' down a bit now.
We're coming into the village and
I don't know are the lights at Main
street workln' this time of night or
not."
Cllve slowed obediently. A sub-
urban sedan with a young woman
at the wheel rattled across the in-
tersection, the driver throwing an
annoyed glance at the car whose
brakes had screeched so unmerci-
fully.
Late hours for a woman to be
out alone," observed McHugh. Then
he clicked his teeth together. "Seen
that woman somewhere," he rumin-
ated. He said to Cllve, "It's a hunch!
Follow that car."
Clive. certain that the man had
lost his wits but unwilling to lose
sight of any clue, however faint,
veered about and began to take up
the trail of the little dash light,
winking up the road ahead of them.
"She belongs in a gang down by
the shore." McHugh said rapidly.
They've a queer place with a shady
name to it. Some strange goings
on. 1 hear they've connections In
the city. We'll Just be asking her
where she's going."
The little car ahead had begun
to gather speed now that Cllve's
powerful engine had picked up the
trail. "Maybe she's only a nice girl,
getting home late and frightened.''
Clive thought. He raged at Mc
Hugh in his heart.
• • *
The girl's car dodged Into a side
She's got a lizzie. It's used to those
bogs."
"I can make It." Cllve said, tight-
ening his lips
Suddenly the tall light of the car
ahead became stationary. Cllve,
realising she had stopped, bumped
up alongside.
A white, thin-lipped face looked
out at them. "Who are you fel-
lows?" the girl demanded. "And
what do you want?"
The policeman continued to stare
her down.
The girl said again, "What do you
want?" in a thin, disagreeable
voice.
Cllve thought in the spilt second
before McHugh answered her,
"We're wasting time. Fools!"
McHugh opened the door, climbed
out. He ambled casually over to the
cheap little car, drawn up than In
the glade. He drawled, "Just

caster while the local pastor con-
ducted a revival meeting in Estel-
line.
A baby daughter was born to the
Rev. and Mrs. Leach Saturday in
the Pampa hospital.
home. You cops—"
Her whining tone sounded Inno-
cent enough. But the policeman
seemed far from satisfied.
"Cousins, eh? This is a fine time
to be makin' calls." He ran the
beam of his flashlight casually over
the back of the car. He opened the
rear door and peered in. There was
the usual dusty carpet, the old news-
paper, the scuffed metalwork. All
seemed disarmingly as it should be.
But MjcHugh did not, as Clive had
hoped, signal the girl at once to
go on. He said in the policeman's
authoritative voice, "Give me your
name and address."
The girl whined: "Mary Pow-
Jeski."
"Live in the Hollow, don't you?"
snapped Officer McHugh. She nod-
ded sullenly.
"Well, we'll just be goin' along
with you to make sure no harm
comes to you the rest of the way,"
said the big policeman blandly. The
girl made an lnstinctvie gesture of
dissent before she said, too quickly,
too cordially, "That's awful kind of
you, officer, but you needn't bother.
Besides my father will give me Hall,
Columbia if he sees that boat you're
in drive up. Fact is," and here she
laughed Ingratiatingly, "we were
having a party over at my cousin's
and he didn't want me to go. If you
fellers follow me home he'll be sure
to wake up."
Cllve was frowning. The girl
seemed all right. Why didn't Mc-
Hugh let her go and be done with It?
Clive was frantic to be away, to be
once again on the trail of the lost
Liane. But McHugh was saying now
in a voice of honey, "We'll Just go
along with you then anyhow." He
gestured to Cllve. "Leave the bus
there," he said. "It'll be safe
enough."
• • •
The girl threw him an angry
glance. "I'm telling you," she said,
"I know this place as well as I do
my own back yard. You're wasting
your time."
McHugh barked. "Shut your trap
and drive on. And mind you take
us where you were goln' the first
place or it's be the worse for you."
He shoved his gun, a blunt, darkly
gleaming object, Into view. Cllve
had by this time locked the car
and was climbing into the back seat
of the girl's rackety conveyance. Of-
ficer McHugh rode in the front seat.
Silently the ill-assorted trio rode.
Clive. fuming and half out of his
head with anlety. The policeman
dour and watchful. The girl sudden-
ly biting her Hps, looking straight
ahead through her red-lidded eyes.
It was pitch dark. Only the sound
of the motor blurred the uncanny
stillness of the night, as the valiant
engine of the little car choked and
sputtered on an occasional grade.
Eranches reached out like ghostly
fingers. Once a chipmunk ran,
bright-eyed and startled, Into the
radiance of their headlights.
Suddenly a light glimmered ahead,
was lost. The girl drove on steadily.
McHugh barked, "Stop here!" The
girl said surlily, "It's a mile further."
"I said, 'stop here,'" the police-
man persisted. Grimly she obeyed
him.
"Now look, you," said McHugh.
turning around to the mystified
young man In the back seat. "Have
you a handkerchief about you—a
big one?"
Cllve produced one from his breast

"Oet out." McHugh said to the
girl. "And no funny business!" He
took the silk handkerchief from
Cllve's fingers. "Here, tie her hands
together behind her back," he said
calmly.
Cllve stammered, "Is that neces-
sary?"
"You don't know this crowd. I'd
bind her eyes but I want her to
lead the way."
Fiercely the girl said, "You big

McHugh held the gun closer to
her. "None of that, now," he warn-
