brief consultation the two men went
out of the room, followed by the wo

Mark threw himself on a lounge
and cried till she came back with some j

It. She told him in Italian English not j
to err. giving him to understand that
he would be well treated. This helped

out. Ho was on the th'rd story in the I
'' - " ,s' 'he house and nothing near bv
which he might got down. He noticed I
a telephone wire leading into a room I
below aud wished he might get near it j
long enough to send a message. But it I
was not likely that his captors would !
permit him to do so.
Ho onged a!si? for the battery he had
at home and wires to connect it with !
t! o telephone wires, thinking he might 1
send a message But he was perfectly !
safe where he was. and at last, giving
op trying to devise i?>ans of escape, j
ho threw himself on the bed. There '
ho fell to thinking bow anxious his fa I
ihor and mother would be about him
and cried himself to sleep.
1-jjriv in the morning the wornau
awakened him and took him out of the
room he occupied She had no idea of
letting him stay in the daytime where
he might attract the attention of those
outside aud communicate with them.
She took him downstairs to the kitchen,
where she gave him something to eat.
After that she compelled him to re
main there with her while she did cer
tain chores.
The door of the kiteheu closet stood
ojvn. and Mark could see that on its
shelves were certain remnants of
st >res that were not likely to have
been bought by his captors. They had
evidently been left there by those who
had occupied the premises before it
lnd been closed One thing Mark saw
put an idea Into his head It was a
lemon. His grandfather, who had
boon a soldie- in the civil war. had
boou captured and imprisoned. He
had communicated with friends with
out by writing letters which would
pass inspection, but on being heated
' ?o real missive, that had boon invisi

beard him tell the story of how by
this moans he was assis'ed to escape,
and it occurred to him I hat if he could
get hold of that lemon he might write
a note to his father. The idea was
very vague in his mind, but one thing
ho determined on. to steal the lemon.

brain was at work, and finally he hit I
upon a plan. sa'^ to "ie woman;
"Please let me write papa to come '
and take me away."
"Hush:" grunted the woman. "You
no write anybody."
"I'll tell him to pay you a whole lot
of money."
The woman's eyes brightened at this,
but she made no reply. W hen one of
the men came the same afternoon
Mark heard him and the woman dis
iussing something, and evidently he
was the subject of their discussion.
When It was finished the man went
into another room and returned with
jH-n. inlt and paper.
"You write your father to send $10,
000 and 1 take you home."
Mark sat down at a table to write
without having the ^lightest idea how
he was going to Use the lemon juiee.

wns the one he had first written, with
a i>ostscript. "Purn up this letter when

; When the man who had been there
I the day before came again the woman
showed him the letter When he came
to the postscript Mark snw that he
was talking to the woman about if.
They finally seemed to agree to let it
stand, probably considering it, if of
any Importance, rather an advantage
to them. The man replaced the letter
In the envelope and took it away with
him.
Meanwhile the Chandler fan y were
in a continued agony. One afternoon,
on entering his house. Mr t handler
found Mark's letter that had been slip

structions as to how t.. pay the ran

Chandler's attention at on. e. lie sur
