"The great actress," put in Daniel, excitedly. "I've retired from the theatre," said Desdemona. "I'm a tropical fish fancier." "And I'm Napoleon," said the sheriff. "Come on, boys bring 'em along. You can't expect the big time crooks like them to tell the truth." "Where are you taking us?" de manded the lion-tamer, mopping his brow. "Where you'll talk," said the sheriff. "Bring 'em along boys and don't forget their baggage." Desdemona talked then and there, and Daniel tried to, but to little avail. Before they knew it, they were being borne away, in the tri umphant clutches of the law. When Ginger and Tony returned to the camp from their breakfast, not a little puzzled that the others had not joined them, it was to find Casanova, the cat, alone of their fellow-passengers, awaiting them. Casanova, and the tourist camp pro prietor, by now recovered from his shock, and bursting with excitement. "Where's everybody?" demanded Tony. "In jail, I guess. A hull posse of officers came up in two cars, and arrested the lot of them," said the other, chewing vigorously. "Least ways, I saw them take the fat lady and the bald-headed man with them. I guess that other couple went along, too. They ain't nowhere around." "But what for?" demanded Ginger and Tony, together. They were stunned. "Seems like they stole a diamond wuth a million dollars and was run nin' away with it. The New York police is tracking them," He spat, shook his head. "Just think of that! The biggest ole diamond in the world right here In my camp, all night! If I'd a known it, I wouldn't a slept a wink!" -' -- Ginger and Tony looked at each other. '.' "The Bonkheer diamond!" she gasped. "It must be!" "Crooks and we were helping them get away!" Tony took a deep breath. "Whew!" It ' lucky we were having breakfast. They might have run us in, with the rest on a charge of being accessories." He smiled, then. "Of course, we could have explained who we were." "But my job in Miami!" ex claimed Ginger. She was very nerv ous. "Suppose they come back for us Tony? Even if they only hold us a day it may be too late lor me!" . "My hunch is to get going, while the going's good!" was Tony's opin ion. "What do you say?" "What about the Evergreens?" "They've evidently had the same hunch. Look their baggage is gone." "But what about money?" asked Ginger. "Now that we're alone what?" Tony grinned.

"I'd rather be wrong and stay out of jail." "Say what about my rent for those cabins?" demanded the pro prietor, suddenly, "Don't worry I'll pay the bill," said Tony, and forthwith paid him three dollars. He picked up the cat. "Come on, Casanova I guess you'd better go along." They boarded the bus, then, after stowing aboard their bags. Ger rude and her bowl, they noticed, had disappeared. "I guess Miss Love took her along to jail with her," said Ginger, and took Casanova in her lap. I hope Mr. Smock won't miss his cat too much." "We'll return him, when we know what his permanent address will be," said Tony. It'll be in the pa pers most likely." He started the motor, and the green bus rumpled off, neaded south. They were on their way. Neither of them knew it, but that was only the beginning of an eventful day. They drove all day through Vir ginia, the double decker Fifth Ave nue bus an incongrous object in this history-laden landscape. A somewhat subdued young couple, not yet quite accustomed to the idea that for the remainder of the trip they were to be quite alone: and a little too self-conscious of that fact. They had long since talked-out the surprise which the morning's incident had given them, and had crossed the Carolina border when the second thunderbolt struck. For it was on the road to Fredericks burg that Fate, on a motor-cycle, overtook them. Tony mindful of their financial state, always drove with a watchful eye on the rear-vision mirror, and on the speedometer. It was with some surprise, then, that he saw the law take their trail, overtake the bus and signal them to stop. Tony applied the brakes and exchanged an apprehensive look with Ginger. Were the authorities trying to rope them in with the diamond thieves? Ginger, thinking of Miami and a job, felt her heart in her throat as the cycle cop dismounted and walk' ed over to them. He was a lanky, cadaverous-looking individual with a draw and a mustache that droop ed. Before he spoke he glanced up at the "Washington Square" sign above the windshield. "You f oiks from New York, ain't you?" he greeted. ; "Yes," said Tony, "we are. You can see that for yourself from our license-plates. "Left yesterday morning, didn't you?" Tonv nodded. But the officer looked at the girl. "Are you Ginger Drake Miss Ginger Drake?" "Why, yes," admitted Ginger, taken by surprise. "Thought I had the right party although it's hard mistaking this bus," he nodded his satisfaction. "What do you want with Miss Drake?" asked Tony. "It ain't only this young woman I'm wanting you re in this too, said the Law. And spat. "You admit that you're still a miss so I guess you ain't claiming you're thiB man's wife, are you?" "Certainly not!" exclaimed Gin ger. "But I don't see what business that is of yours, or any " "Did you folks ever hear of a law called the Mann Act ?" he inquired, sarcastically. "Mann Act!" Tony was both nmuseH and irritated. And hot a little relieved; so it was not the dia mnnd business, after all! "Is that moth-eaten old gag still alive?" "Alive enough to put you behind the bars for taking a woman not your wife across a state border!" Tony said: "But that's ridicu lous! You've got to prove that a man takes a woman across a state bolder for immoral purposes. But we" " "That's just what the charge is," said the Law. Immoral purposes."
