He expressed amazement, assert

newspapers?
"Nh, Steven," Mrs. Casserly con-
fessed sadly. "They’ve been kld-
naped."
“Say — that’s tough! I’m sore
sorry. Mrs. Casserly. And It looks
bed for me. The cops’ll ptok ms up.*
“No," shs replied. “You were
driving me when they vanished.1
“That’s right." Eddson gsvs a
sigh of rsllet.
*Tve already cleared yoe with the
police," Porter assured him. “I saw
them early this morning.’
"Before yon got this?" Eddson
had s startled expression on his face
as he held np the envelope Porter
had received from the G-men.
"This Is the second note," Porter
said. "The police don’t know about
It I have the one which came
earlier."
Naively, the lawyer produced the
message faked at the F.B.I. offlcee.
Eddson shifted uneasily In his chair
as Porter read:
"If you want to see your daughter
and Mr. Eaton again, you will have
to psy us $200,000. Wo want the
money In Uvea tens and twenties

there’s a lot of risk for Miss Cas-

"Of eowree." agreed Mrs. Can

“Now, If you were to give me a

The butler answered, reported tbat

tance and asked where the call bad

"*“Then“fiaSson" tried to' get me

“Thank yon, Steven. We’ll get the
