 tjansac; 'on, hileen has mercy; Ms. Su-'s has money; Tom Clinkcr has moocy, and he will waste it like water until hc ge . hands on you MT. Soue; then you N!4l find that money is not everything. E. sides, we csn complain to the tain lcs- plc all the people on th's train are "e' going to SEC us carried off in th.s way.
 ''Yon are no, likely to meet any oi tta passengers .n this train; we pass for q very exclusive br dal lalty, and "c ~ not be interrupted in tEe onjogmeft cf our bliss.

 Aileen and Elizabeth looked at eac'' other In dismay.
 "What can we do, Elizabeth9'
 He seems to have quite the best of us now. How did he manage its'
 "rut morphine in the chocolate We had last night; you remember 1t was bitter. I took it once W hen l had a bad tooth, and 1 feel just as did then. am sure all he says is true; he could plan and car. ry out just such q thing.
 u.et US break window and crawl out. ''
 "Wc cant do that with the train at full speed, and we could only do it tt 8 station, and he would say we were insane ,r something else awful and we should get uo help.
 "Yes, that is 80; he can | keep us on this train forever aud when we get oil, we can make dash: but then he wonld call police to help him keep us, and no doubt has lots of money with h'm~-:t'ld we have, how mnchg''
 CT paid for our tickets and the hack usn--that took three dollars. l faye nihe now.
 CT have five, that makes fenrtecn dol I,,s and we are ever 50 far from home. ] bnvc my ring hlushing a little, but hate to palt vita it-=-but for liberty
 "I have these ear rings and my engaat rept rjnu too that makes four >aluai'. dia1uopds; hui where could We get an money OR theln9,
 .We might b,ihe the porter with one of them.
 Aileen shook hcr head douhtfully.
 .Iet us stay on the train. We have money enough to pay for telegram in cose we can reach an office, but Richard, you may be sure, is q wary foe, and we will find he has or will anticipate every move we can make.

 Host! Aileen, lost What if he mur' ders US.
 CT aou, < believe he will tly that; it is more revenge than anything else. He prob, ably realizes that Gerald will be free, and he wishes to prevent our being to gether. He can t be so insane as to ina, agine he can ever win anything but the deepest abhorrcnce from me.

 "Oh, moth.r,' she murnulel, as tho tears rushed to her eyes.
 '' Don t Ailecn! He will come back, and don t, for heaven s sake, let him see that wo are losing courage. I hate to be abducted, but l am glad you are not alone with him.
 'I will not cry; hut tue thought ot mother overcame mo for a moment. Your mother will take care of her, though, end they will sympathize with each other. Of course they will soon find us; it is i'm. possible for him Co keep us hidden--two of us. "
 "Well, I have such headache, and we ought to eat something, but how are we to be sure of not being drugged again if we take anything that hideous porter bringsf"
