P. Tribes Hill with the money. Grayman plans to trap the pirate. Helen and her maid are well cared for by Payton, but are closely guarded by Indian John. Helen suspects that they are prisoners.
COPYRIGHT BY FRANK A. MUNSEY Captain Alfonso Payton, the sky pirate, kidnaps Helena Grayman, New York's richest and carries her away in his airship, the Chameleon. He poses as Commodore Brown. She thinks, her abduction is a practical Payton takes her to his lodge in a Labrador wilderness. Wiiliam Grayman, her father, secretly summons the police.
By wireless telephone Payton demands $10,000,000 ransom from Grayman, who agrees to meet him at (Continued.) CHAPTER V. THE POLICE PLAY THEIR HAND. would be an indictment of the reader's perspicacity to inform him that Payton's story about the breaking down of an imaginary aero and the call to him for aid was a pure invention, It will be remembered that Payton in his wireless telephone conversation with Mr. Grayman had appointed a rendezvous for the second day after that of the discovery of the abduction. He had no intention of completing the transaction at that meeting--if meeting there should be.
As he had said, he would arrange for the payment of the ransom and the surrender of the prisoner to take place elsewhere. That was an invariable feature of Payton's system which served to baffle those who sought to trap him. His first concern was to get a meetIng with the person who was to pay. If he succeeded in that he depended on twenty things to aid him in the subsenegotiations, his extraordinary cunning and his impressive personality playing the principal parts. He knew the character of William Grayman and his extreme fondness for his daughter.
Of course this last was his best lever. Yet his demand for $10.000.000 was so enormous that he knew it would require all of his matchless dexterity in managing men and in mastering events to enable him to get the money. To begin with, it WAS on its face a thing of extreme improbability that the famous billionaire, whose shrewdness was a byword, would trust himself in the bands of an outlaw. It was also perfectly certain Grayman would call in the aid of the police. That, however, did not troubie Payton.
He had uttered no vain boast when he said that nobody had and he had the most excellent reasons ever succeeded in running him for his belief that nobody ever would. The only question in his mind was whether Grayman would go to the rendezvous at all. Any other man than Payton would have assumed without arguing the matter that Grayman would not go. But Payton was a master reader of human nature. He knew that Grayman could not leave things as they were.
He must rescue his daughter. So he set out in the Chameleon for Tribes Hill, very confident that Mr. Grayman would be there--whatever company he might have. In regard to this Payton had means of knowledge, the nature of which will appear later. Tribes Hell, a place famous in Indian tradition, lies in the old Hohawk territory in Montgomery county, N.
Y. The distance between this place and Payton's lodge was great, but Payton had plenty of time at his disposaland, indeed, time to spare -for the Chameleon was one of the swifest cracks afly and could under pressure make 140 miles an hour. There were few aeros at that time which could keep within sight of her. So he set out at a leisurely gait, puting the flier in trim for either fighting running away, as occasion might require. Nor was Payton mistaken in his reasoning about what Mr.
Grayman would do. The New York commissioner had gone to work with great energy upon his problem, and here is the result of his cogitation as he reported it to Mr. Grayman twenty-four hours after their first conference. "Mr. Grayman," he said, wearing a satisfied smile as he entered the billionaire's sanctum, "I think that the Sky Pirate has carried his pitcher once too often to the fountain in venturing into New York.
belleve that we shall get him." "Well, exclaimed Grayman testily. "You seem to have changed your mind. What's your plan?" "It's just this," said the commissioner. "I have been with four of my men to Tribes Hill to look over the ground. Payton has been cunning, I must allow, but he has not hitherto had to deal with the metropolitan police.
The bluff where he has promised to meet you is bare and unapproachable except under Payton's eyes. But there are woods not far a moment," said the biltionaire. "You seem to be assuming that I am fool enough to put myself into his grasp. You speak of his meeting me. It is you that he must meet." The commissioner sat down and sumed a more confidential tone.
"Mr. Grayman," he said, "if you do not go, nothing can be done. No maketo represent you would deceive this fellow. All of these kidnapers are too sharp for that, and he above all. 11.
you are not willing to go I shall have to throw up the job." Mr. Grayman made no immediate reply, but ant meditating. "It 1s true," he said at last, "that I have never al- BROWN'S Just received a beautiful assortment of the Newest Collars and Jabots, Crochet Bags and other Novelties selling at 25c to $1.25.

But could I not be concealed somewhere near?" "Impossible! You must be there openly or not at all. But let me assure you that you have nothing to fear.
We can protect you." "Suppose he should attempt to run away with me also! Do you know what that means?" "I know perfectly well, Mr. Gray. man, the Importance of your person. But in this case you would have nothIng to fear. Payton would never dream of running away with you.
What would be gain by that, suppos ing he could do it with me and my men there ready to interfere? whatever. It would be the ruin of his negotiation." "Well," Grayman said, "perhaps you are right. But, come, tell me your plan and then I'll see." "As I was just telling you," resumed the commissioner, "there are woods not far from the bluff in which men and aeros can be concealed. Now, my plan is to take four swift police department fliers and hide them in those woods. Moreover, I shall have a dozen sharpshooters concealed in the treetops.
He will drop down over the bluff in his aero and keep it hovering near during his conference with you. Then when you have him engaged in talk my men at a signal will drop him in his tracks." "Hold on!" said Mr. Grayman. "You are going too fast now. If you kill Payton, how are we going to find my daughter?" "By capturing the Chameleon and compelling his men to reveal his hiding places." "But perhaps they won't talk." "We have means of making men talk," said the commissioner grimly.
"Perhaps you have, but I don't like that part of the plan. It is too dangerous for my daughter. She would be killed for vengeance. But the aeros are good. Go on with that part of the scheme, keeping sharpshooters for an emergency.
why not take your, more aeros? How many has the police department?" "Eight. But it would be impossible to conceal more than four of them. can dispose four in such a way as to cut off retreat in every direction. The aeros, with power up, will be hidden just in the tops of the trees." "You know we must not fail," Grayman said. "We shall not fail," was the dent reply.
Still, Mr. Grayman was half disposed to reject the scheme and try something else. But he could think of nothing else, and then his daughter's absence and her imminent danger smote his heart. "Done!" he said decisively. "I'll try it." "Then," remarked the commissioner, much gratified, "I'll send off the aeros tonight in order that nobody shall witness their arrival.
Their commanders, who are the men that a accompanied me to Tribes Hill, know exactly what to do. They will prepare the ambush and be ready for work in the morning." "How many men will you have in whom twenty-eight will be armed to "Thirty will go in the aeros, of the teeth. The twelve marksmen will be sent on by train in various disguises. We ourselves will take the midnight express for Albany, and a local train will bring us to Tribes Hill early in the morning." The commissioner had learned that the full complement of the Chameleon, including her commander, was ten men. Accordingly he could count upon having three to one in a fight.
Thus the matter was arranged. When William Grayman said "Yes" to any proposition he wanted to have it carried into effect instantly. To be continued. The Great Sale Of Ladies' Wash Dresses and Shirt Waists still continues with new numbers added daily. The greatest values ever offered in Pittston.
