IN A STRAIT BETwIxr TWO.


IN a srRAIr BET"ixT TWO.
For two whole days. shame kept the
young engineer from returning to the
farmhouse on the Little Chiwsssee, but
the urging OF the same wholesome
emotion made him tireless in his efforts
10 find Thorndyke. He accepted his
own theory of kidnapping. and, after
learning from the hotel-keePer at
Glenco that Philip hsd set out to ride
TO Allacoochee. and that the horse had
returned rideriess the following day.
he wMs confirmed in the belief that the
young attorney had been waylaid and
carried on to some isolated cabin on
the plateau Acting upon this conclu-
sion, he began systematic search on
the mountain; and since his occupation
had made him familiar with every spur
and ravine within ten miles Of Allecoo-
chee, il would have been singular IL he
had failed TO discover Thorndyke's
asylum. II was late in the afternoon of
the second day, however. when Philip
heard the welcome sound Of approach
ing hoof-beats, and his satisfaction was
not lesscned when he found that the
rider was Protheroe. He laughed when
he hobbled to the door and saw the
engineer coming up with Winchester
held at the ready.

She shook her head.
'What is it, Elsie? does it mean more
to you than the possible danger of q
friend?"
"Yes, much more" The frankness
Of her reply staggered him. ut was
! who sent him into the danger. He
he said l was responsible"
Protheroe never knew the strength
of his love until that moment, but the
gentler emotion was mingled with
dash of contemptuous anger for the
man who could be SO pusillanimous as
to lay the burden of his responsibilities
upon the tender conscience of young
girl, and his resentment spoke before
he could muzzle it.
That was ungenerous," he said.
again, and her voice was unsteady when
she answered him. "You mustn't say
that; you don't understand; he was
very unhappy and discouraged when he
said it,"
Protheroe told himself that his con-
clusicns were verified in so many words,
and yet he had to grapple fiercely with
the spirit Of lawlessness prompting
him to apostatize once for all by telling
her that she was more to him than she
could ever be to Thorndyke, or to any
one else. When he could trust himself
to speak he said, quietly: Don't
grieve; we'll find him all right; I'll find
him and bring him back to you"
He meant to go when he had snid il,
and he might have kept his resolution
II she had not looked up into his face
with her eyes full of trouble. "Pleass
don't" she began, but the ungovern-
able impulse slipped the leash, and for
moment Prothcroe put the cup of pos
session to his lips and drank deeply,
taking her in his arms and covering
the burning cheeks with his kisses.
Then q sudden sense of the enormity
Of his transgression overwhelmed him,
