 A head shake.
 You must have had me very much on your mind Were big man seek ing a lost damsel ny idea would be to keep my eyes open for the shelters to which she would sensibly run, not lose my wits In selfish consideration of raj ment and then anathematize the lady" She laughed cuttingly.
 Allston's countenance was reckoning.

 I'm thinking" said Allston slowly. "I'm trying to make out what chance have of-or'- He paused, hesitating.
 What chance" Her eyes opened wide at his seeming audacity.
 "Of catching the o'clock train. It is getting late.'
 "Ohr Isabel looked down. then up A strange darkness was settling down upon the earth. Both had forgotten the storm, now grumbling back from the south. The man stepped out in the rain. In a moment he returned. His face was set in hard, worried lines.
 "Youn put or my coat, and we'll get into the open, sad ue LecIuedIy. Il may be fool, but I know something of cloudbursts. This building isn't safe Quick"'
 A sharp command, a clutch beneath her arm, then a rapid hoisting over rough ground, through pelt of huge drops, to low stone wall, and Isabel, breathless, felt herself pulled to her knees, while a strong arm clasped her firmly.
 Forgetting all save the recognition of superior strength and jul, ment, ap- palled by the murky blackness. the re- verberadng shocks of heavens artil- lery laundering over the hills. she nes- tied against him, with little cry, as before her frightened gaze a broad sheet of flame showed bending trees fattened to earth and distant rail fence flung into flying wreckage.
 The man held her more tightly with an unconscious pressure. His face was set and steady, tense in his watching, yet filed with that bold, half smiling light seen on the visages of those who fearessly face danger. The next bright flare found her eyes meeting his in a look as rapid and in- tense as the lightning itself The girl smiled at him as his breath drew in sharply.
 Down. shouted Allston. Flat. It's coming Shut your eyes and hang to my neck"
 Isabel did In the roar of the ele- ments she chung blindly to him, con scious only of deafening noise and a sense of collapse. The hush following was broken by Allston's laugh.

 Don't" said the girl. Don't, please"
 The man solemnly consulted his watch.

 "No," she whispered softly. "rd i rather you would miss it."
