Two minutes later they ran up I'M
der the western bank Of the stream,
| which at this point was fully 300
yards wide. Under cover Of the dead
ly revolver the two men dropped into
the water which was above their
waists. The limp form of Peter Bru-

the shoulders of his companions.

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 rowlocks 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,

The side of the boat caromed off a
solid object in the water, almost spill

He padded along slowly. feeling his
way, scraping alongside the big barges
which delivered coal fromsthe distant
mines. At last he found an opening
and pushed through. A moment later
they were riding under the stern of a
broad cargoless barge, plumb up
against the wafer Tapped piles of the
dock.
Standing in the bow Of the boat, he
managed to pull himself up over the
; slippery edge. 1t was the work of a
second to draw her up after him. He
gave the boat a mighty shove. sending
It out into the stream once more.

Anna Cromer and Nine. Drovnask,
who dinned the praises Of the great

was opened and she came in.
Some time in the tense, suEocatIng
hours Of the night they heard the
sounds of many footsteps shutting
about the outer room. There were
hoarse cultural, subdued goodbys and
well wishes. the creaking of heavy
doors and the dropping of bolts.
Eventually King, who had been lis.
tening alertly, realized that but two of
the men remained in the room, Peter
Brutus and julius Spantz.
An hour crept by and another. King
was grooming under the suspense. The
time was too slowly approaching
when he was to attempt the most des.
perate act in all this sanguinary trag-
edy.
He had told her Of his plan. She
knew the part she was to play. And
If all went well-ah, then!
Suddenly he started to his feet, his
jaws set, his eyes cleaning. The tele-
graph instrument was clicking in the
outer room.
Taking his position near the girl,
who was croucbing in real dismay, he
leaned against the wall, his hands be-
hind him. every muscle strained and
taut.
The door opened, and Julius Spantz,
