CHAPTER XVI.
The Struggle.

The approaching car now drew up
near by, and three men jumped light
ly to the road.
In the radiance of the lamps on the
two cars, Orme recognized Arima. The
men with him were also Japanese,
though Orme was not conscious that
he had ever seen them before.
1t was clear enough how he and the
girl had Numbered into the hands
of the Orientals. Maku had undoubt-
edly secured car and had driven it
to the vicinity of the Rookery in re-
Spouse to a telephoned order from
Alcatrante, transmitted, in all likeli-
hood, through the Japanese minister.
The appearance of the car on La
Sale street had been expected by the
South American. Perhaps he had not
anticipated that Orme would hail it;
the probability was that he had wished
Maku's assistance without a definite
idea Of what that assistance should
be. but the use of the car by Orme
fell in nicely with his plans. He had
assumed readily enough the direction
the car would take, and getting
promptly into telephone communica-
ton with Arima, had arranged this
meeting on the road.
Orme now remembered that Ari-
mas car, when approaching, had
sounded it's horn at regular intervals,
in series of threes-evidently a signal
Don't worry, girl, DEAR" whispered
Orme. t. he broke off his SEN
tence as the newcomers clustered
about the tonneau, but the confident
glance of her eyes treasured him.
He knew not what they were to
face. The Japanese, he inferred,
would not deal with him pleasantly,
but surely they would not harm the
girl.
Arima opened the door Of the ton
neau and with lightning motion
grasped Orme by the wrist
''Get out" he ordered
Orme was in no mind to obey.
There were four of the Orientals
against him, and he stood little chance
of success in a fight with them, but
if he could only delay matters, some
one might pass and he could raise an
alarm. So he sat firm, and said.
calmly:
"What do you want?"
Get out" repeated Arima.

said the girl
But the chauffeur turned north at
the corner and put on more speed.
He's taking the right direction, .
she laughed Perhaps his idea is to
follow Sheridan road till we tell him to
turn"
Il don't quite like it," said Orme,
thoughtfully. He's bit too sure of
what he's doing"
The girl hesitated. 1T is funny,
she exclaimed. And he's going faster,
too" She leaned forward and called
up to the chauffeur: Stop at this cor
ner"
He did not seem to hear She re-
peated the order in louder voice, but
the only answer was another burst of
speed
Then Orme reached up and touched
the chauffeur's shoulders. stop the
carl" he cried
The chauffeur did not obey. He did
Orme and the girl looked at each

replied. He will not stop until we

mo. And if l pull him out Of the
seat. the car will be ditched" He
puzzled vainly to hit on method of
action, and meantime the moments
sped.
They passed the university grounds
quickly. Orme retained an impression
of occasional massive buildings at the
right, including the dome of an OBJ
servatory, and at the left the lighted
windows Of dwellings.
He saw, too, the tower of a light
house, a dark foundation supporting a
changing light above; and then the
road turned sharply to the left and
after few hundred yards, curved
! again to the north.
Suddenly the chauffeur slowed down
On either side were groves Of trees
Ahead were the lights of an approach
ing motor.
Orme was still at loss, and the
girl was awaiting some decision from
him. When the chauffeur at last
turned and spoke-three short words
Orme realized too late the situation he
and the girl we're in.
1--WE stop now" said the chauffeur.
And the girl, with a Mortified gasp
exclaimed: "Maku!"
Yes, it was the Japanese.
Calmly he put on the brakes and
brought the car to a standstill by the
roadside; then, removing his goggles
turned to Orme and the girl and smiled
an inscrutable smile. There was an
ugly bruise on his forehead, where
Orme had struck him with the wrench
But quick though Maku was, he was
not quick enough to see a motion
which Orme had made Immediately
after the moment of recognition-a mo
ton which bad even escaped the notice
of the girl. Perhaps it accounted fol
the GOODNESS with which Orme met his
enemy's eyes.

arinht Brown, Dull Green.

Brown had married the prettiest
woman in the town and Green had
married the homeliest. but thought
she was a beauty.
One evening they met and the con-
versation having drifted to their re-
snective better halves. Green re-
marked:

Brown looked at him in surprise a
moment, but seeing he was serious.

about half right"
But Green didn't see the point until
he told his wife and she began to
make few remarks.

folded them-could hear her sigh of
content.
And then something occurred that
dfsquieted him to degree which
seemed unwarranted. The chauffeur
suddenly turned around and glanced
swiftly through his goggles at the girl
and the papers. The action was, per-
haps, natural; but there was an as
sured expectancy in the way he turned
-Orme did not like it. Moreover,
there was something alarmingly famil-
lar in the manner of the movement.
Somewhere Orme had seen a man
move his body like that But before
his suspicious could take form, the
chauffeur had turned again.
The girl handed the papers back to
Orme. These are the right papers"
she said ooh, my dear, if you only
knew how much they mean"
He held them for moment in his
hand. Then, after returning them to
his pocket with as little noise as pos
sible, he caught the girls eye and, with
significant glance toward the chauf.
81 will slip them under the seat
cushion. They will be safer there"
Did the chauffeur lean farther back,
as if to hear better? or was the slight
movement false record of Orme's
imagination?
Orme decided to be on the safe side,
so he slipped under the cushion of the
extra seat another mining prospectus
which he had in his pocket, placing it
in such a way that the end of the pa
per protruded Then he put his lips
close to the girls ear and whispered:
Don't be alarmed, but tell me, does
our chauffeur remind you of anyone?"
She studied the stolid back in front
of them. The Hitting dust-coat masked
the outline of the figure; the cap was
so low on the head that the ears were
covered.
mo-" she said, at last, 81 think not"
With that, Orme sought to reassure
himself.
They were in Lincoln park now.
| Over this same route Orme and the
girl had ridden less than twenty-four
hours before. To him the period
seemed like a year. Then he had been
plunging into mysteries unknown with
| the ideal of his dreams; now he was
moving among secrets partly under
stood, with the woman of his life-lov-
| ing her and knowing that she loved
! him.
One short day had brought all this
| to pass. He had heard it said that
Love and Time are enemies. The false
ness of the saying was clear to him in
the light of his own experience. Love
and Time are not enemies; they are
strangers to each other.
On they went northward. To Orme
the streets through which they passed
were now vaguely familiar, yet he
could hardly believe his eyes when
they swung around on to the lake
front at Evanston, along the broad rib
bon of Sheridan road.
| But there was the dark mysterious
surface of Lake Michigan at their
right. Beyond the broad beach, he
could see the line of breakwaters, and
at their left the electric lights threw
their beams into the blackness of little
parks and shrubby lawns.
The car swept to the left, past the
university campus.
do you remember" asked the girl,
IN low voice, pressing his arm. Then,
..Don't!" she whispered. Some one
will see!" for he had drawn her face
10 his.
They came to the corner of Chicago

CHAPTER XIV.
From the Devil to the Deep Sea.

From the Devil to the Deep Sea.
How shall we go?" asked Orme, as
they descended to the street level.
"By train. There is no other con-
venient way, since my car is at home"
she looked at him doubtfully and add
ed. :'but they will be watching the
railroad stations"
He nodded "a motor would be
safer-if we can get one" He gave
her hand a secret pressure while the
elevator boy was opening the door for
them, and as she passed before him
she flashed upon him a look so filled
with love and trust that the sudden
thrill of his happiness almost stif1ed
him
At the La Sale street entrance Orme
had a f1eeting glimpse of the watching
AIcatrante The South American, after
one astonished stare, darted away in
the dusk He would follow them, of
course, but Orme decided to say
nothing about him to the girl.
Il must telephone" she said sudden
~, stopping as if to turn back to the
building. Father will be very anxi-
GUS"
THE booths in the building must be
closed" he said Wed better try a
drug store"
Accordingly they made their way to
the nearest, and the girl went to the
booth. The door was shut for long
time.
While he was waiting, Orme glanced
through the brilliant window. In the
light of an electric lamp across the
street he discerned family motion
less figure; without hesitation he
crossed the pavement, recognizing Al
catrante more clearly as he left the
dazzle of the store.
The minister did not bulge. His
face, as Orme approached, was cold
and expressionless.
"Senor," exclaimed Orme, does your
trade include murder?"
Not at ALL Why do you ask, Mr..
Orme?"
Because only lucky Intervention
has saved you from the murder of a
young lady and myself"
You are exaggerating, my dear sir. +"
Alcatrante laughed.
rs it your custom to lock people into
alright chambers?"
"Air-tight?" Alcatrante was clearly
disconnected. Il did not suppose that
it was air-tight Also, did not dream
that the young lady was there. But
this game is a serious game, Mr.. Orme.
You do not appear to understand.
When one is working for his country,
many strange things are justified"
Even MURDER"
Even murder-sometimes.
Orme had an inspiration. Thank
you for the truth, senior" he said. Il,
700. am working for my country. If
you continue to follow US, shall as
sumo that you have murder in your
mind, and l shall act accordingly"
Alcatrante smiled coolly.
This is fair warning" continued
Orme.
He glanced 10 the drug store and
saw the girl coming out of the tele-
phone booth. Fastening across the
street, he net her at the door.
eff father had had any idea OF such
complications when we came west,
she said. there would have been plen-
ty of men near by to help us. AS 1t

cd as possible and, in any event, to
gain time enough to communicate with
Poritol and the Japanese and whatever
other persons might be helping in the
struggle to regain the papers. The
probabilities were that Alcatrante had
been using the last two hours to get
in touch with his friends.
And now those friends would be in
formed promptly that Orme and the
girl were setting out by motor. This
analysis apparently accounted for AL
catrante's nonchalance. Orme and the
girl seemed to be escaping, but in
truth. if they approached their destina-
ton at all, they must run into the am
buscade of other enemies. Then the
nearer the goal, the greater the dan
ger.
AS the motor slid smoothly north
ward on La Sale street, Orme looked
back. Alcatrante had made no move.
The last glimpse that Orme had of him
showed that slight but sinister figure
alone on the sidewalk of the deserted
business street.
They crossed the Clark street bridge
Keep on out North Clark street until
you can cross over to Lincoln park, 4"
said Orme to the chauffeur.
The only Indication that the order
had been heard was bending forward
of the bowed figure on the front seat.
Orme explained to the girl. ct will
