But before he could in his blind

his rage a revolver was clapped TO his
face through the window, and, with a
look of surprise and terror, his valor
oozing from him, he crouched back on
the cushions. At the same time the
carriage door was thrown open, and
Edward Mauville, the PATRON, stood
in the entrance!
Only an instant his eyes swept her,
observing the flushed cheeks and dis
ordered attire. reading her wonder at
his unexpected appearance, and-to
his satisfaction-her relief as well;
only an instant, during which the
warder stared at him open mOuthed,

the receptacle to his lips she thrust hei
arms through the window and a play
book dropped from her hand. a posi-
bic clew for any one who might follow
the coach. For some time she had beer
awaiting this opportunity, and when Il
came the carriage was entering a vii
lage.
Scroggs finished his cup. "You see
we're provided for" he began. Here
the bottle fell from his hand.

He cast a quick glance at her

sneered, "but I'm not ready to part
company yet"
Hastily drawing up one of the wood
en- shutters he placed himself near the
window, observing fiercely: 81 don't
propose you shall undo what's being
done for you. Let me hear from you"
Jerking his finger toward the square
-"and I'll not answer for what I'll
do" But in spit of his admonition
he read such determination in her eyes
he felt himself bafIled.
"You intend TO make troubler he
cried, and. putting his head suddenly
through the window, he called to the
driver, "Whip the horses through the
market placer
AS the affrighted animals sprang for
ward he blocked the window, placing
one hand on her shoulder. He felt her
escape from hts grasp; but, not daring
to leave his post, he leaned out of the
window when they were opposite the
square and shook his fist at the anti
renters, exclaiming:
"I'll arrest every mothers son OF

Drowned by the answering uproar.
The PATRONS dog! Bullets for dep

continued to threaten the throng with
his fist until well out of earshot and,
thanks to the level road, beyond their
resentment. Not that they strOve to
follow him far for they thought the
jackal had taken leave of his senses.
But there was no defiance left in him
when they were beyond the village,
and he fell back into his seat, his face
now ash colOred.

tossed il out Of the window to be shat

sank again into a semblance of medi-

Disappointed over her Intellectual eff
forts, overcome by the strain, the
young girl for the time relaxed all

sun dipped and ever dipped toward

Nearer 1t drew. Quicker beat her
pulses. Moreover, it was the rat-a-tat
Of galloping. Some one was pursuing
the coach on horseback.
Immersed in his own grapevine cas-
tie, her jailer was unmlndful of the
approaching rider. and she turned her
face from him that he might not read
her eXultation. Closer resounded the
beating hoofs.
Who was the horseman? Was 1t

inseparable from the noise of the We

into clangor that the dreamer awoke
