and the rumble of thunder broke over
the desolate night.

gasped Truxton. almost ready to drop
from faintness and exhaustion.

were now plunging up through the

At last they came to the END of their
rope. They were literally up against
the great city wall.
A car door stood open in front of
them. He waited for second flash
Of lightning to reveal to him the ma

in and pulled her up after him. They
fell over on the floor. completely fag-

one may have heard the shouts Of our
friends back there"
Not another word passed between
them for ten or twelve minutes. She
peered anxiously ahead. looking for
signs of the barge dock. which lay
somewhere along this section of the
city wall.
At last the sound Of rapidly work
ing rowiocks came to the girls ears.
They're after u.s. grated Truxton
in desperation. They've got word to
friends one way or another. By Jove.
I'm nearly tagged too. | can't pull
much farther. Hello. What's this?''
The side of the boat caromed off a
solid object in the water. almost spill

find your way in among the coal
barges? ~
He padded along slowly. feeling his
way, scraping alongside the big barges
which delivered coal from the distant
mines. At last he found an opening
and pushed through. moment later
they were riding under the stern Of a
broad cargoless barge. plumb up
against the water Tapped piles of the
dock
Standing in the bow of the boat, he

slippery edge 1t was the work of
second to draw her up after him. He
gave the boat mighty shove. sending
it out into the stream once more.
In a few minutes loud curses came
from the river. proclaiming the fact
that the pursuers had found the empty
boat Afterward they were to learn
that Viewpoints shouts had brought a
boat load Of men from the opposite
bank, headed by the innkeeper, in
whose place Lorraine was to have en-
countered Marlanx later on, If plans
had not miscarried.
By this time King had located the
open space which undoubtedly afford
ed room for the transfer of cargoes
from the dock to the company's yards
inside the walls. Without hesitation
he drew her after him up this wide,
sinister roadway.
The pursuers were trying for land
ing. noisily. even boisterously. 1t
struck Truxton as queer that these
men were not afraid Of alarming the
watchmen on the docks or the man at
the gate above. Suddenly 1t came TO
him that there would be no one there
to oppose the landing of the miscre-
ants No doubt hundreds of men al
ready had stolen through these gates
during the night. secreting themselves
in the Businesses of the city, ready for
the morroW's fray.
They rushed Nm the narrow railway

whisper close to her ear They won't

She pressed his arm. Then she was
fast asleep.
He sat with his back against the side
Of the car. a pistol in one hand. the
other lying tenderiy upon the drench-
ed hair of the girl whose head rested
upon his leg. She had slipped down
from his shoulder. He did not have
the desire or the energy to prevent it.
Manfully as be had fought against the
impelling desire to sleep. he could not
beat it off. His last waking thought
was Of the effort he must make to
reach Dangloss with the warning.
Something stirred in the far end Of
the cara still small noise as Of some
thing alive that moved with the I'm.
most wariness. A heavy. breathing
body crept stealthily across the inter-
vening space. so quietly that a mouse
could have made but little less noise.
An instant later the blush fame of
a sulphur match struggled for life.

70 word was spoken during this
I'M cautious, extraordinary voy-
age underground. The pseudo
julius supported his charge in
the stern Of the boat. Peter Brutus
sat in the bow, a revolver in his hand,
his gaze bent upon the opaqueness
ahead
At last the boat crept out into the
rainy, starlesS night He drew the
skirts of his own macintosh over her
shoulders and head. The night was so
inky black that one could not see his
hand before his face.
At least two Of the occupants opened
up their threats and lungs and gulped
in the wet fresh air
1t was now that he began to wonder.
to calculate against the plans of their
silent escort Whittier were they
bound? The occasional creak of an
oar, a whispered oath Of dismay, the
heavy breathing of toilerS. the soft
blowing Of the mist-that was all; no
other sound on the broad. still river
TruXton began to chafe under the
strain. His uneasiness was increased
by the certain conviction that before
long they would be beyond the city.
the walls of which were gradually
slipping past.
He considered their chances if he
were to overturn the frail boat and
strike out for shore in the darkness
This project he gave up at once. He
did not know the waters or the banks
between which they glided. They
were past the walls now and rowing
less steathily Before long they would
would be awkward for him
Suddenly the boat turned to the
right and shot toward the unseen bank
They were perhaps half a mile above
the city wall. Truxton's mind was
working like a triphammer. He was
recalling a certain nOmad settlement
north Of the city, the quarters of fish
ermen, pOGchers and horse traders
These people, he was not slow to sur.
mise, were undoubtedly hand in glove
with MarlanX, if not so surely connect
ed with the misguided committee of
ten.
He had little time to speculate on
the attitude of the denizenS of this IN
wholesome place. The PROV of the
boat grated on the pebbly bank. and
Peter Brutus leaped over the edge into
the shallow water
Come, on Julius-hand her over to
me-" he cried.
AS he leaned over the side to seize
the girl in his arms Truxton King
brought the butt of the heavy revolver
down upon his skull. Brutus dropped
across the gunwale with a groan. dead

Two minutes later they ran up un-

yards wide. Under cover Of the dead
