 CHAPTER XIV-(COntinued)
 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 Newport's shouts had brought 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 purSners were trying for ( land ing, nolsily, even bosterously. It 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 it 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 fastnesses of the city, ready tor the morrow's fray.
 They rushed up the narrow railway chutes and through one of the numer- ous gateways that opened out upon the | barge docks. No one opposed them. | No one was standing guard. From be- hind came the sound of rushing foot | steps. Lightning flashed in the sky, and the rumble of thunder broke over the desolate night.
 They'll see us by the lightning," gasped Truxton, almost ready to drop from faintness and exhaustion.
 Following q vivid flash of lightning, two shots were fired by the men who were now plunging up through the gates, hundred yards or more away. The same flash of lightning showed to King the narrow, muddy street that stretched ahead of them. Instead of doing the obvious thing he turned sharply to the left, between the lines of freight cars. Their progress was slow.
 At last they came to the end of their rope. They were literally up against the great city wall.
 car door stood open in front of them. He waited for a second flash of lightning to reveal to him the na- ture of its interior It was quite emp ty. Without hesitation he clambered in and pulled her up after him. They fell over on the floor, completely flag { ged. A few minutes later the storm broke. He managed to close the door against the driving torrents. l We've fooled them," he managed to l whisper close to her ear. They won't l look here. You're safe, Lorraine.

She had slipped down rom his shoulder. He did not have 4 he desire or the energy to prevent it. | Ianfully as he had fought against the V mpclling desire to sleep, he could not T 'eat it off.
