Believing. then. thai coniglio and
the others had not arrived, she had

1t. she had rung the doorbeI once to

Then Katharine, with Julius beside
her, had waited outside the house. In
great anxety. until the men from the
central. office had gone away. and
Rushton had gone with them.
Lady Ka-e was certain that Harvard
was still somewhere IN the rear of
those houses. and shI fe't equally as
sured that he had been hurt: for other
wise he should already have made an
appearance.
Then the old man had appeared. tot

! rine. having pinned the. police shield
UPON her Jacket. approached him while
he was opening his door. and told a
ta'e which she made up for the occa-
sion.
The police coat and shield which
Jul us had worn were regular prop
critics" which he always carried with
him In the car, to use in case Of emer-
genctes-and that was all that Julius
could explain about it. Some day.

Harvard 8 whole body was racked With
rain. He lifted the injured leg to the
seat IN front of him. then replaced II
upon the floor: then repeated the same
rerfo finance time after time. He was
made others suffer when he had broken
their bones with bis strong hands.
Then he fell to thinking of Katherine
again. and Of the last words she had
SPOKEN 10 him at parting. She had
said: Il shall see you again when YOU
least expect it." He wondered what she
had meant by that statement.
Nobody molested them or disturbed
them. or offered to do SO. -
When thev left the boat he closed his
eyes and settled himself more c.,mfort-
ably against the cushions.

In the bottom OF the shaft were sur
prised to see half decayed piece OF TIM

had adopted this method or giving them
an alarm But the engineer could not
account for this piece Of timber until the

The escape from death on the part OF
the miners was little less than marvel

company is happy and satisfied.
