goes. Keep close TO il" 1 cried, recov-
ering my senses under the same intiu-
encs that had paralyzed them.
Fright you are, miss" replied my
driver, gathering up his reins' and as
the brOugham turned into Regent street
we fell into the string OF vehicles close
behind il.
What was to be done now? 1 saw no
other course but 10 follow the b%rougham
70 Lambeth and hold myself 10 readi-
ness 10 act with rigor anu discretion 10
whatever contingency arose. IL was
bot until we had gone a considerable
distance that i began 20 doubt whether
10 was kayanaEh's intention 10 so 10
Lambeth. Fixing my eyes on the
brougham / had taken no notice OF the
streets through which we passed.
When the length OF the time that had
elapsed since leaving Burlington street
aroused a suspicion In my mind, found
that the houses on either side Of the way
were quite unfamiliar 70 me.
where are we?" asked through the
tube.
And when the man answered, "Can-
non street, miss, F" / was no wiser than
before.
But soon after this we came into an
open space, where I recognized the
dark outline Of the Tower. Then /
knew where we we're. and saw with
horror that we were approaching the
place where Taras before had fallen
into the hands OF his enemy. II they
got him into the Mariners Joy again
how could 1 save him?
I had noticed with growing anxiety
that the b%rOugham had greatly In
creased the distance between Us after
leaving the more crowded thorough
fares, a fact that / bad attributed 70
the greater strength Of havanagh.S
horse and not TO the particular artIul-
ness OF my driver. This loss Of ground
now added 20 my terror. In the lazy
rlnth OF streets beyond the mint we
might lose sight Of the brOugham aud
never overtake IT,
scan you 60 no faster?" 1 called.
'Faster? i should think so! i
thought you just wanted TO keep the
parties in sight without sorter lettin'
'em tumble 20 It,"
Mono! Go on QUick-Quick!
A hlek OF the whip doubled our pace!
The wheels were tired with rubber, but
as the clatter Of hOofs grew more audi
bic 70 the driver Of the 0rOugham he
turned and looked back. We were near
enough then for me TO distinguish his
hollow cheeks and ]cavernOus ayes, aud
/ think be must have recognized me,
for be used the whip freely and increas-
ed his speed. Turning the angle by -.
Katherlne's docks, / saw haVanagh
thrust his head from the window and
look back. For a time the race seemed
equal, but Iobseryed that the 0%rougham
cid not gain Us, though she driver used
the whip far more freely than my man.
But the terror of ShadweA was still be-
fore me.
Icallpd to the driver.
"C0lld you get In front Of the car
riageiand stop it?'
~ casa Ia w0nld 'shoye Try % u
anyhow" and with another cut Of the
whip be shot on and ran wheel 10 wheel
with the brOugham. l stood up, and
craning ont caught sight OF hayanagn
as we passed the open window looking
across the recumbent body OF TaraS,
his face livid 10 the light of our lamp.
In another minute we had passed, and
pulling 10 sharp toward the pavement
forced the driver OF the brcugham TO
draw up. Then Oy another rapid move
ment my man turned the hanson so as
90 completely bar the road, and both
vehicles came 20 a dead staudstill.
''What do you want7" asked kaya-
nagh, meeting me ia the road as j
sprang out Of the hanson.
'sTaras.' 1 cried wildly, brushing past
him. ''Taras." l cried again as step
ped into the brougham by the open door,
with a fearful for0Oding that he was
murdered.
