Slowly the lights of shore grew
brighter. After q time Orme could
distinguish the masses Of trees and
buildings. grayly illuminated by the
arc lamps of the streets. He spoke
to Porter in an undertone.

Porter grinned q noncommittal grin
and devoted himself to the wheel.

The girl had not yet explained her
presence In the boat. In her own
good time she would tell him. But
she had been there under compulsion:
and Orme shuddered to think what
might have happened.
He stole a glance at her. She was
leaning back on the seat. Her eyel
were closed and her pose indicated
complete relaxation. though It waf
evident from her breathing that she
was not asleep. Orme marveled a
her ability to push the nervous ex

There he had spent one summer vaca-
ton Of his college life. 1t was ten
years past. but this pose, the rope In
his hand. flashed. 1t oack to him.
Now they were almost on the Japa-
nese. For the moment he seemed to
waver. He glanced at the approach
ing launch. and reached uncertainty
for the boat hook. Yet 1t did not
seem to occur to him to yield.
And then. as for the hundredth time
he laid his hands on the motor. he
uttered a cry. It was plain to Orme
that the cause Of the supposed break
down had been discovered. But was
there time for the japanese to get
away? It was doubtful. He opened
the feed pipe and let the gasoline
again flow In. The launch was now
SO near that Orme could almost have
leaped the gap, but the japanese bent
his energy to the heavy fly wheel. tug
ging at 1t hurriedly.
The motor started. The boat began
to move.
Even now It looked as though the
collision could not be prevented, but
the japanese. seizing the steering
wheel, turned the boat 30 quickly to
starboard that the stern fell away
from the bow of the approaching
launch. There was no crash, no hard
bump; merely q glancing blow SO
slight that in that calm water It
scarcely made the boats careen.
Then Orme threw his moose. The
distance was less than ten feet, and
the loop spread. quick and true. over
the head Of the japanese. But, swift
though the action was. the japanese
had an instant to prepare himself.
His right arm shot up. As Orme. jerk
ing at the rope. tried to tighten the
moose. the hand Of the japanese push
ed 1t over his head and 1t slid over
the side into the water. In a few
seconds the swift boat had disap-
peared In the night.
Tightening his lips grimly. Orme
drew the wet rope in and mechanical
ly coiled it. There was nothing to
say. He had failed. So good an op-
portunity to recover the papers would
hardly return.
Silently he turned back to the 9TH
ers. Porter had swung the launch
around and was heading toward the
distant lights Of Evanston. The girl
was peering in the direction whence
came the sound of the receding boat.
Thus. for some time they remained
silent
At last the girl broke into q laugh.
It was a ripping, silvery laugh. ex-
pressing an infectious appreciation Of
the humor Of their situation. Orme
chuckled in spite of himself. II she
could laugh like that. he need not stay
in the dumps. And yet in his mind
ranked the sense of failure. He had
made a poor showing before her-and
she was laughing. Again the corners
of his mouth drew down.
Il suppose the notion is amusing"
he saba cowboy at sea-"
"Oh. l was not laughing at you"
She had sobered quickly at his words.
Il shouldn't blame you. If you did"
1t is the whole situation" she went
on. And it wouldn't be so funny. If
it weren't so serious"
Il appreciate it," he said.
And you know how serious It is"
she went on. But truly, MIR. Orme.
l am glad that We did not damage
that boat. 1t might have been ter
rible. If he had been drowned" her
voice trailed off in faint shudder.
and Orme remembered how tired she
must be. and how deeply disappointed.
