CHAPTER XX KIDNAPPED Half an hour later Lynne, with Monâ€" sieur Duhamel, and Mr. Salstira, was locking at a greyâ€"painted car of very ancient design. It stood in a garage in a alley, behind Mr. Salstira‘s office, that had once been a stable for mules. Mr. Salstira bowed and wrung his hands and fAashed his white teeth below his fierce black moustache; he shooed away the hens which were roosting on the front seat of the car and assured Lynne that the car had come into the gtable under its own power. Once a relic of the war in Arabia, it had come all the way from there to Kashan: it must, therefore, be capable of getting from Kashan to Tebran. Mr. Salstira had gone to Kum and back in it but a fortnight before. Lynne started the engine up. It sounded good enough. Early next morning Lynne drove her battered, dustâ€"white car across the plain towards Tehran; approaching it, it looked like the edge of a forest so hidâ€" den where its walls in the thick growâ€" ing greenery of many gardens. She paid Mr. Salstira for the car and got him to fill it up wit petrol for her. Monsieur Duhamel advised her ts wait until next morning, but Lynne in sisted on starting immediately. . She would go to Kum, a distance of about sixty miles, and continue on from there until dark, when she proposed ‘to sleep in the car by the roadside. Monsieur Duhamel seemed to regard her proposals with great doubt as tC their wisdom. But Lynne, with an exâ€" pression of reckless determination, bought blankets and food supplies and some petrol from Mr. Salstira, loaded her car with them, and was off within an hour. All ‘this time she had been fear'ing that she might see Julian. He might be looking for her, to try to persuade her to go with him to Kelâ€"elâ€"abir. And indeed Julian was, but by the time he had been to Monsieur Duâ€" hamel‘s to enquire for her there, Lynne was ten miles out on the dusty monotâ€" onous road to Kum. »Lynne drove steadily along; and she herself felt steady and calm with a great purpose. She was going to reâ€" trieve her selfâ€"respect, right the wrongs she had done and find peace of mind again if she could. She was still out on the open plain, when she became aware of a cloud of dust behind her on the road. A car was overtaking her. Only the most fleeting suspicion that it might be Julian in pursuit came into Lynne‘s head: and she drove on without inâ€" creasing her speed. But in a few minutes the car was close behind her; it drew abreastâ€"a modern American carâ€"and to her surâ€" prise and annoyance she saw that the man at the wheel was Julian. In the car with him was a dirty and villanous looking Hindu. Julian cut in ahead of her and slowed, motioning her to stop. %*% S8®*8®*%%%* < 4 *4 IlIIIIIIIIII’/I’IIII/’I////IJ’IIIIIIIIIIIIIM ONE CENT A MILE BARGAIN EXCURSION Bargain Excursion tickets will be valid on Trains 2 or 46 and their connection Thursday, Sept. 30th.

My dear Julian, there isn‘t a chance Oof the Cups being shifted from Enzili now! You might just as well give in, and admit yourself beaten!" "Get out of the car!" said Julian. "Why? Julianâ€"â€"!" Julian took her wrist; Lynne struggled, but he‘ hauled her out of the car. Breathless and humiliated, Lynne kicked his shins, but he dragged her along the road to the cother car. The Indian gazed at them both with derisive interest, and no surâ€" prise. He threw open the door of the car so that Julian might get her into it more easily: and while Julian held her, he passed a cord quickly round her ankles, and tied them together. on w ‘across the empty plains. i She went on working away with her hands trying to loosen them under the rug Julian had thrown over her, when, with a sudden shock of relief, she found the scarf growing slacker. In a moâ€" ment or two her hands were free. she sat quite still, considering how to make the best use of her freedom. Since she had got a better view of it, she had seen no one else on the road. In an agony of impatience she waited ; and at last she saw her chance. Ahead on the road was a chain of pack mules, with their native drivers., If only she could do something to atâ€" tract their attentionâ€"â€"â€"! On the left of the road, a short way abead,. there was a long ditch, about three feet deep, and as Lynne‘s eye fell on it, another idea sprang into her head. 4 she got ready, shifted her arms to e n o n o i i B T on Hobbled, she could do nothing azainst them but struggle furiously, and in A moment or two Julian had her hands tied securely behind her with a scarf. "YOU WON‘T SPLIT ON ME" It was all done in complete silence; a silence which seemed to add to the nightmare quality of the dreaful event. The sunny sky overhead looked dark to Lynne. She could hardly believe that she was awake. To be treated like this by Julian! They ut hee in the Dack of the car, a handkerchief tied tightly round her mouth; the hood and veil of a Persian woman over her head, concealing it. Julian spoke to Lynne then. "I‘m sorry about this! But you shouldn‘t be so damned silly. You‘re going somewhere where you won‘t get a chance to split on me until I‘ve got those cups out of the country. Lynne was unable to make any reply. He got into the driver‘s seat behind the Hindu, and they drove on. Lynne could see very little in ths smothering folds of the hood. She could tell when the car came to the town by feeling the bump of the cobbles on the road, and by glimpsing the walls of houses as they passed them. Soon they were in the crowded quarter and she could hear the noise of the crowd. It was an agony to her to feel so utterly helpless, and to know that she was so near to assistance. Aunt Sophie, the Trents, the police, were all so near at hand. and yet there was nothing to be done. She struggled furiously to get her mouth free of the handkerchief, and to loosen her hands. But she still lay helpâ€" less, panrting with the exertion of tryâ€" ing to free herself, when the car passed out of the town and took the road to he demand b *4 \1 L ® F enonug@nt.â€" mUyVE, _ L . . .O CCC EtA s | decided that it was best to have her i back to a wall.

The Hindu grabbed at her; Julian tried to pull her hands away, and Lynne, lying Across the back of the driving seat, the veil fallen down over her face, could only cling blindly to the wheel. The car plunged off the road, erashâ€" esd nose down into the ditch. Lynne heard the windscreen splinter, as she slithered over, and landed in a heap with Julian against the dashbord. ‘This being only what she had exâ€" pected, Lynne kept her head better than ‘the other two; in an instant her hands were at her mouth tearing off the handkerchief that bound it, and pulling out the sodden wedge of the handkerchief Julian had stuffed beâ€" tween her teeth.

"Even if you are my stepâ€"brother," said Lynne, "I wouldn‘t mind murderâ€" ing you after what you‘ve done." The knife loaked sharp, and Julian drew back a pace or two, and satd "Very well! Have it your way. As for being your stepâ€"brother, though, that‘s a little misapprehension you and your family have always laboured under. As it happens, my father was a lieuâ€" tenant in the Greek navy. So what do you think of that?" "I‘m glad," said Lynne calmly, turnâ€" ing a shade paler. She gazed at him fixedly, feeling rather sick and disâ€" gusted. The knife drew back with a sneet "Are you? Well, it‘s a pity for you that your father didn‘t know, too. No dacubt he wouldn‘t have left me that fifteen thousandâ€"which would have been yours instead by the way." "I‘m afraid I‘m not deeply pained.

"Gcodâ€"bye!" said Lynne. "Good luck!" said Julian. His smile puzzled her. "Good luâ€"â€"I!" words were cut short as darkness descended upon her from above in enveloping folds. While he had been talking to her his Hindu friend had crept round onto the top of the bank behind her, w:th @a rug from the car. Helpless, as the thing was suddenly thrown over her, Lynne struggled to free herself, dbut Juâ€" lian got the krife away from her in a moment. Just what you would expect from the faomous name, given to this pattern. Painted in rich gay colors by hand under the glaze where it can never come off. Five minutes later, battered and exâ€" hausted, Lyrne was lying in the back of the car again. But now, in the midst of her humiliaâ€" tion and misery, she realized that he had turned the car, and they were driving back towards Tehran. It must have been half an hour later when the car pulled up again. Lynne was blindfolded, the hood pulled well over her face, and the rope round her ankles cut. With Julian holding one elbow and the Hindu the other, she got out of the car. out of the car. She could tell that she wa on pavement, then they stairs, and from the hollow She could tell that she was walking on pavement, then they mounted stairs, and from the hollow echo of their footsteps she could tell that she was within walls At the top of the stairs voices spoke in Arabic, a door cpened and they passed through, and the door shut again. From the sound it made in shutting, she could tell that it was a heavy one. They walked on, and more voices spoke in Arabic. There was a veritable chatter going on; and now someone led her away to the right. They passed through a place in which the flooar was carpeted and she smelled strange perfumes. Dazed at first, following almost obedâ€" iently, Lynne suddenly came to her senses and stopped. Her arms were tied so she could only back away from the persons who were escorting her. She kicked out violently, tripped, and sat down on the foor. It was a most inefâ€" fectual resistance. They picked her up and carried her. She was taken down some more stairs. through ansther door and set down on what felt like a couch. Then the bandage was taken from her eyes.
