start up ageiE-heaven knew where
perhaps at her very carriage window
Her unconscious hand was doubled to
a fist upon her breast, fast closed
upon the sapphire.
With, all her body braced, she
leaned and looked far backward, and
far forward and now for long time
saw nothing. The distance was empty
The glare of arc-lights showed her
the shadows of her own progress
the shadow of her vehicle shooting
huge and misshapen now on the cob
bles, now along blank wall, wheels,
body and driver, all lurching like one;
now heaped on each other, now tenu-
ously drawn out, now twisting them
selves into shapes the mind could not
account for. For here, whirling the
corner, the carriage seemed to wave an
arm and now between the wheels, fast
twinkling, she saw a pair of legs. She
leaned and looked, so mesmerized with
this grotesque appearance that 1t
scarcely troubled her that all the way
down the last long hill she knew it
must be that a man was running at
her wheel.
The warm lights of her house were
just before her, offering succor, stiff
fleming courage. 1t would be but a
dash from the door of the cab to
her own door. There was no second
course, once the cab stopped. She felt
that to Turk in its gloom would mean
robbery, perhaps death She thought
without fear, but with an intense cal
culation. Her hand held the door at
swing as the cab drew up. Before 1t
should stop she must leap She gath
cred her skirts and sprang-sprang
clean to the sidewalk. The steps of
her house rushed by her in her up
ward flight. Her bell pealed. She
covered her eyes.
For the moment before Shima
opened the door there was nothing
but darkness and silence. She had
never been so glad of anything in her
life as of the kind, astute, yellow
face he presented to her distressed ap-
peal.
"Shima," she painted, pay the cab;
and If there's any one else there say
that I'll call the police-no, no, send
him away" There was no question or
hesitation in Shima's obedience
Through the glass of the door she
watched him descend upon his errand,
until he disappeared over the edge of
the illumination of the vestibule. She
waited, dimly aware of voices going
on beyond the curtains of the drawing
room, but all her listening power was
concentrated on the silence without
a silence that remained unbroken, and
out of which Shima returned with the
same imperturbable countenance.
HE wants ten dollars"
ooh, yes, give him anything" Flora
gasped. If that was all the China
man had followed her for! But her
relief was momentary, for instantly
Shima was back again.
81 gave him ten dollars, the cab
man."
Now she gasped again. "Oh, the
cabman! But the other one!" For
an instant Shima seemed to hesitate;
glancing past her shoulder as if there
was something that he doubted be-
hind her. Then as she still hung on
his answer he brought 1t out in
lowered voice.
Madam, there was no one else
there"

CHAPTER XvII.-(Continued.)

The child furtively tested her coin,
biting it as if to taste the glitter, and
Flora waited, lost, given up by her
SELF passively watching for the room
to be filled again with his presence.
He was back after long minute, and
this time took up his stand at the
door, where, pushing aside the tight
drawn curtain little, from time to
time he looked out into the street.
Sometimes his eyes followed the
cracks Of the plastered wall, some
times he studied the floor at his feet;
every moment she saw he was alert,
expectantly watching and waiting;
and though he never looked at her sit
ting behind him, she felt his protec-
ton between her and the darkening
street. She sat in the shadow of it,
feeling it all around her, claiming her
as it would claim her henceforth,
from the world. A ghost of light
glimmered along the curtains of the
window, and stopped, quivering, in
the middle of the curtained door.
Then he turned and beckoned her.
Sheer weakness kept her sitting. He
went to her. took her face between
his hands, and looked into it long and
intently.
you don't want to go!" The words
fell from his lips like an accusal. His
sudden realization of what she felt
held him there dumb with disappoint-
ment. "You have won me-" her look
was saying, land yet l have immedi-
ately become a worthless thing, be-
cause am going; and l don't believe
in going" She felt she had failed
him-how cruelty, was written in his
face. But it was only for moment
that she made him hesitate. The next
he shook himself free.
well, come" he said.
She felt that all doors would fly
open at his bidding. She felt herself
swept powerless at his will with all
the yielding in her soul that she had
felt in her body when his arms were
around her. He had taken her by the
hand-he was leading her out into the
gusty night, where all lights flared-
the gas-lights marching up the street
over the hill into the unknown, and
the lights cleaning at her like eyes
in the dark bulk of the carriage wait
ing before the door. 1t all glimmered
before her-a picture she might never
see again-might not see after she
passed through the carriage door that
gaped for her. The will that had
!, swept her out of the door was moving
her beyond her own will, as it had
moved her that morning in the gar
den, beyond all things that she knew,
There was no feeling left in her but
the despair of extreme surrender.
She found herself in the carriage.
She saw his face in the carriage door
as pale as anger, yet not angry; 1t
was some bigger thing that looked at
her from his eyes. He looked long
while, as If he babe her never to for
get this moment. Then, I'll give you
"a hours" he said. "This man will
take you home" He shut the carriage
door-shut it between them. Before
} she had gathered breath he had
Strengthened, fallen back, raised his
hat, and the carriage was turning,
Flora thrust her head, straw hat and
ribbons, out of the window.
"Oh, 1 love you'll" she called to him.
She sank back in the cushions and
covered her face with her hands.

Goblin Tactics.

For a little she kept her face hid

" living with the wonderful thing
that had happened to her. 1t was as
wonderful as anything she had
dreamed might come when she had
written him that letter. And if she
needed any proof Of his love, she had
had 1t in the moment when he had let
her go. There he had transcribed
her hope.
He had been wonderful in a way
,she had not expected. He had shown
her so beautifully that he could be
reached in spite of his obsession.
Might not she hope to touch him just
