One day, while in the garden, she hears two men conversing on the other side of the high stone wall that surrounds the grounds. Climbing up on a bench, she sees Ronald Manning, the young man who lives next door, and a furtive-looking man of stocky build. When Ronald catches sight of her, he accuses her of eavesdrop- i ping and they exchange a few caustic caustic remarks. That evening, she impulsively impulsively steals bis big yellow car to go for a drive. She is followed by another car and turns into a deserted deserted -state. The other car catches up with her, and a crowd of shouting shouting men leap out. HAPTER 11. Iris gasped and sprang from the car. Instantly, a pair of powerful hands caught hold of her, and four men were all barking harshly at her at once "It's a skirt !" "What's the idea, sister?" "Look for Manning. . . he'll be around somewhere. . . don't let her go!" Iris seethed with anger. She drew herself up haughtily. "Let me go this minute I" she blazed. The man who had seized her swung her about into the glare of the headlights. Iris saw that he was slight and wiry, with dark hair under under a big cap. He sneered at her. "Well, pardon me ! If we ain't gone an' got the Queen of Sheba by mistake!" A burly fellow laughed shortly. "Where's Manning?" he snapped at her. Iris hesitated, and then decided swiftly that, the less she knew, the better off she's be. "I don't know anybody by that name !" The wiry man, who was evidently evidently the boss, scowled. "Then just what are you doing in Manning's car, hitting for the city at this time of night?" "You're crazy," Iris told him coldly. coldly. "Thi s car belongs to my fiance, Mr. Barrington Vernon, and I was only out for a drive !" * * * The burly man snorted. He leaned leaned over and snapped on the dash- light in the yellow car. "Ronald J. Manning," he read aloud from the certificate. "The Vernon guy's buggy is just the same," offered a third man. "I suppose you just made a little mistake," suggested the wiry man, with heavy sarcasim. He still held Iris by the arm. "If you were just out for a drive, what are you hiding In here for?" Iris jerked free. "Because I could see you were following me! I didn't know who it was, and I was afraid !" She could see the man's gimlet eyes boring into her. "You're lying !" he said sharply.

Slim, you just stay out hero and keep watch. See if the stuff is in Manning's car." A tall, thin man looked briefly into into the tonneau of the yellow car. "She's there," he said. * * * In silence, Iris was escorted into the big house through a window that had been forced open. A flight of stairs brought them presently to a vast, high-ceilinged room, cold as a tomb. One of the men swung his flashlight, about the room, and shadows shadows leaped up the walls. Iris' heart was in her throat. She dug her hands deep into her coat pockets, and an involuntary shiver ran over her. The wiry man snapped on a second second flash. He shot the light straight into Iris' face. "Now then !" be barked. "I want this straight. Who are you?" ---Iris flinched under the sudden glare, and lifted her head angrily. "I'm Iris Courtney," she snapped at her captor. "I've been visiting the Vernon s and, when I got home from a movie tonight and saw that car outside, I decided to go for a ride !" "Where were you going to pick up Manning?" the wiry man demanded, demanded, coldly. "I had no intention of picking anyone up!" "Where is he now?" "I tell you I don't even know him! This is absurd and not very interesting, and I'm going home!" * * * Just then, an unexpected interruption interruption occurred From outside, came the sound of a scuffle, then a bellow. A car door slammed, and an engine roared Instantly, there was turmoil in the room. The wiry man shot to a window. "It's Manning! He's knocked Slim out! There he goes, in the car! I knew there was something queer about this-!" He turned away from the window. "Come on! We'll lock the girl up in here and go after him! Hurry up --find a closet--" Iris found herself hustled roughly into the dark-stuffy interior of a closet. She heard a key grate in the lock. . then a medley of hurried footsteps dashing down the stairs. Presently, there came the roar of the second machine, mingled dwith confused shouting. Then, silence. .. Iris drew a long, quivering breath. She must get out of here before they came back! She set her back against the closet wall, got her feet up beneath beneath the door handle, and pushed with all her strength. The door creaked under ti e strain--but held.
