ASTONISHED THE "OLD MAN"
His 'Rah 'Rah Son by No Means the
"Dude" He Had Hitherto
Seemed to BE.

The new governor Of a western
state has two sons. One Is big and
husky like his father, but the other is
more slight; and at times he rather
vexes his father by his affectation OF
'rah-'rah-bey clothes and a general air
of lassitude and dudishness.
The two sons and the father were
in the library one night and the name
of a prizefght referee came into the
conversation. The 'rah-'rah boy had
been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs,
but his ears pricked up at the mans
name and he drawled: II rather like
that chap. He's all right"
What do you know about him?"
the other brother asked, rather, con-
temptuously.
ooh, Ne gave me a shade the best
Of 1t one night"
Gave you the best Of 1T" both
father and brother shouted.
YES; you see, l fight under the
name of Young Ryan and he counted
pretty slow one time when I was
down."-Saturday Evening Post.

XVI.

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 b~lundered into the hands
of the Orientals. Maku had undoubt-
eddy secured a car and had driven 1t
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 a On la
Sale street had been expected by tae
South American. Perhaps he had not
anticipated that Orme would hall 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 its horn at regular intervals,
in series OF threes-evidently a signal.
Don't worry, girl, DEAR" whispered
Orme. 81" 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 we're 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 a 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, blu
II he could only delay matters, some
one might pass and he could raise al
alarm. So he sat firm, and said
calmly:
What do you want7".
Get out" repeated Axtma.

search for the hidden papers. Wed

said the girl.
But the chauffeur turned north at
the corner and put on more speed.
Hes taking the right direction"
she laughed. Perhaps his idea Is to
follow Sheridan road till we tell him to
turn"
81 don't quite like it." said Orme,
thoughtfully. "He's,a bit too sure OF
what he's doing"
The girl hesitated. ut 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 a 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
not even turn his head.
Orme and the girl looked at each
other. II don't understand" she said.

replied. He will not stop until we

mo. And If I pull him out Of the
seat, the car will be ditched." Ht
puzzled vainly to hit on a method o
action, and meantime the moment:
sped.
They passed the university grounds
quickly. Orme retained an impression
of occasional massive buildings at tn
right, including the dome of an oh
servatory, and at the left the LIGHTED
windows of dwellings.
He saw, too, the tower Of a light
house, a dark foundation supporting
changing light above; and then tn
road turned sharply to the left ant
after a few hundred yards, curve
again to the north.
Suddenly the chauffeur slowed dowr
On either side were groves Of trees
Ahead were the lights Of an approach

l Orme was still at a loss, and th
girl was awaiting some decision frol
, him. When the chauffeur at las
turned and spoke-three short words
Orme realized too late the situation b
and the girl were in.
4 I'VE stop now" said the chauffeur.
, And the girl, with a Mortified gas
exclaimed: "Maku!"
Yes, it was the Japanese.

folded them-could hear her sigh OF
content.
And then something occurred that
disquieted him to a 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 1t. 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. "Oh, my dear, If you only
knew how much they mean"
He held them for a 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
q blbAlllSuLI6 ldAC0 IOWdlu LhC ShouL
feur, said in a distinct voice:
II 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 a 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 ill-ftting 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, "I 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 1t said tina
Love and Time are enemies. The false
ness of the saying was clear to him IL
the light of his w experience. Love
and Time are not enemies; they arr
strangers to each other.
On they went northward. To Orm'
! the streets through which they passed
were now vaguely familiar, yet h
could hardly believe his eyes whel
they swung around on to the lax
; front at Evanston, along the broad rib
bon Of Sheridan road.
But there was the dark mysteriou
surface Of Lake Michigan at thei
? right. Beyond the broad beach, b
q could see the line Of breakwaters, an
at their left the electric lights threy
their beams into the blackness of littl
Q parks and shrubby lawns.
The car swept to, the left. past tn
