Then the minister opened his prayer

Il, Robert, take thee. Charlotte
Just then there broke on the stiffness
Of the night sound that froze the
words on his lips
1t was the continuous. rapid beat OF
a motor car, and they knew it at once
for what it was--the roar OF the colo
nel's automobile.
Charlotte's face went white with ter.
ror and Osborne's mouth settled in one
grim straight line as he dashed to the
door.
The distant trees loomed specter-like
in the white glare of the headlights as
the car dashed toward the vicarage.
With one quick swing Of his power
full shoulders Osborne grasped Char
lotte and lifted her into his car.
"Come with us! Get into the carr

ately.

would not do it, and then unexpected

Osborne bounded on the step, seized
the steering wheel and started the car.
The throb Of the motor deepened and
the car was off with O bound.

Osborne
This Is most Irregular demurred
the minister. He stopped hesitated--
and then glanced back at the approach

shoulders squared in decidedly un-
ministerial fashion; the ministerial jaw
set itself stubbornly: the ministerial
eyes regarded the young couple before
him sympathetically.

Osborne's firm voice to the rhythmlcal
accompaniment of the chug, chug Of

the wind blew fresh in their faces and

Osborne leaned toward his wife and
kissed her on the lips.
The pursuing car had been following
hard on the retreating red disk of the
runaway motor, and when it slowed
down the other car was beside 1t.
