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 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 1t 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 tho
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
to his.
They came to the corner of Chicago
avenue and Sheridan road, where they
had halted the night before in their
search for the hidden papers. WED

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.

what he's doing"
The girl hesitated. ut is funny"
she exclaimed. And he's going faster.

up to the chauffeur: Stop at this cor

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 shoulders. Stop the
carl" he cried.
The chauffeur did not obey. He did
not. even turn his head
Orme and the girl looked at each
other. Il don't understand" she said.

replied. He will not stop until we

rive cant get out" she exclaimed.
'''No. And If pull him out Of the
seat. the car will be ditched." He
puzzled yainly 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 If dwellings.
He saw, too, the tower of 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 we're groves OF trees.
Ahead were the lights of an approach
ing motor.
Orme was still at d 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 :Se situation he
and the girl were in.
We stop now. said the chauffeur.
And the girl, with horrifel Gasr,
exclaimed: 'Maku."
