start up again-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 a 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 a 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 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. It 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 lurk 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 It
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
silence that remained unbroken, and
out of which Shima returned with the
same imperturbable countenance.
He wants ten dollars"
"Oh, 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.
Il gave him ten dollars, the cab
man."
Now she gasped again. "oh, the
cabman! But the other one!" Fol
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 OF
his answer he brought it out in Q
lowered voice.
Madam, there was no one else
there"

that had happened to her. 1t was as

needed any proof of his love, she had
