Stolen Adventure Bv VIVIENNE CHARLTON CHADWICK CHAPTER I Iris Courtney kicked at the gravel and scowled at the beautiful garden in which she stood. As far as she was concerned, nothing seemed beautiful right now. She had wasted practically all of her short vacation visiting her prospective in-laws. She had known it wouldn't work, and it hadn't.

And Iris had been prepared to strive hard to overcome some of his rigidly correct up-bringing. up-bringing. But this visit had been had. Very bad. ' It was Gus she missed the most. GttBtitvtus Adolphus was Barry's car, a handsome Job in canary yellow with black trimmings, easily capable of eighty miles an hour if you wanted it. After ten days of the hearse-like sedan, sedan, Iris ached for Gus. Accordingly when she had returned from a short walk, five minutes ago, to find such a machine outside the gates, she had dashed excitedly into the house expecting her deliverance to be on hand. It had been a bitter blow to be told that the young man next door, Ronald Manning, owned a cal' exactly like Barry's, aiïd that this was it. Iris had turned outside again without without a word. Boredom closed in on her again like a fog. Suddenly as she strolled beside the high stone wall that enclosed the grounds, she heard voices on the other side.

The pipe smoker wore well-cut tweeds, had' dark hair, and was undeniably undeniably good-looking. Undoubtedly decided Iris, this was young Manning owner of Gus' twin. The two men stood about fifteen feet, from Iris, and their voices were lowered, so that she was unable to hear their words. There was, about the stocky man, an air of not wanting wanting to be seen. He presently nodded and slipped furtively off. The tweedy man turned away. And just at that moment, Iris sneezed in a loud manner, ducking her head involuntarily, involuntarily, and bumping her nose mi the top of the rough stone wall. The young man swung around and looked up. "Well," he drawled, after a moment. moment. "I'll be darned ! Do you know what happens to eavesdroppers?" "I was not eavesdropping ! " "Really?

A young lady of twenty-two, twenty-two, with mahogany-colored hair, dee,, blue, .eyes, and a real magazine- cover figure, is not accustomed to bo disliked on sight. By way of retort Iris snatched up a loose fragment of stone from the top of the wall and lmrled it. It hit the hand that held the pipe a resounding resounding crack, and as the young man stood motionless, looking at her through narrowed eyes, a small line of red formed and ran down his wrist. Iris' eyes were narrow too. "I hope you bleed to death!" she snapped-- and fell off the bench. As she. scrambled to her feet, a cool mocking voice came from the other side of the wall. "And I hope you've broken a leg!" Coming home alone from a moving picture early that evening, Iris' heart jumped once more at the flight of the Mg yellow ear in front of the Vernon place. But it was still not Gus. She stood in the bright moonlight, hands in the pockets of her coat, and look the machine over thoughtfully. It was a marvellous night. Impulsively she stepped into the car and slid behind the wheel. The Ignition key was" in the steering column. column. It served young Manning right, Iris thought, as the wind whipped her hair' hack from her bright face,- and she laughed gleefully. He would come out and find his car gone, and when he had raised a fearful racket and Made a fool of himself, she would casually casually bring it back, and leave it on the wrong side of the road, and telephone telephone to thank him sweetly for the loan !

Iris began to sing. The headlights of another car had been behind her for some time before Iris began to wonder about them. She was doing fifty-five now. She experimented experimented by dropping her speed to forty and then gradually running it up again to nearly sixty. The lights behind her kept their distance. Somebody must have expected this machine to be headed for the city tonight tonight -- had been lying in wait for it. For no reason at all, a vision of the furtive figure of that short, stocky stocky man rose before Iris. More miles went by. The car behind behind was sticking like glue. Presently, Presently, the road curved, and Iris was forced forced to slow down. Another, curve had loomed ahead, and then, all at once, she espied a small side road turning off to the eft. On a sudden impulse, she swung into it, and killed her lights. She wasn't more than fifty feet from the main highway when the other car hurtled past down the highway. They had been closing in on her! And then, Iris made her mistake. •Instead of shooting back onto the highway and heading for home and safety, she "Ùrrièd on her lights, and wént on slowly, looking for a place to turn. A narrow drive led in between two stone gateposts, arid she took it. She continued up the driveway hoping to effect a circle. Suddenly, a house loomed, large and gray in the moonlight. It looked empty empty and deserted. The drive ran completely completely around it, Iris stopped the ear at the back. She was feeling a little breathless. A moment's relaxation seemed in order. She hadn't sat there long, however before she was startled by the roar of an approaching car. They must have picked up her trail !
