 I-FOREWARNED
 The thing was managed with an ingenuity that Alan termed devilish: 1t was indisputaby Macha- vellian
 The lovers had come down from the North in not haste and the shadow of death. Two days or steady travelling by canoe, by woods trail by lake steamer-forty hours of fatigue and strain eased by not instants relaxation from the h1gh tension Of vigilance upon which their very lives depended-wore to culmuation through this tedious afternoon the train from Moosehead trip of physical torment only made possible by Aians luck in securing through sheer accident. two parlorcar reservations turned back at the last moment before leaving Kineo station.
 No natter the longest afternoon must have Its evening: the pokiest of trains the more surely to its destination; in ancther hour or two they would be in Portland-free at last to draw breath of in land of law, order and sane living.
 As If in answer to this thought the train slowed down with whistng brakes to the last hillstation; md as the trucks groaned and moved anew, a out of boy came galloping down the aisle, brandishng two yellow envelopes and plating like stray calf: "Mista Lawr. Mista Lawr! Telgrams for Mista Lawr"
 Alan had been expecting at every station pre- paid reply to his wire for reservations the night express from Portland to New York
 But why two envelopes superscrhed "Mr. 4. Law. Kineo train southbound Oakland Sta? He tore one open unfolded the enclosure, and grunted disgust with its curt advice opened the other and caught his breath sharply he with drew-part way only-a playing card. Trey of Hearts
 Thrusting it back quickly he clapped both en- velopes together tore them into a hundred frag- ments and scattered them from the window. But the fendish wind whisked one small scrap back and only one!-into the lap of the woman he loved
 Vainly he prayed that she might be asleep The silken lashes trembed her cheeks and lifted slightly, disclosing the dark glimmer of question Ing eyes. And as she clipped the scrap of card board between thumb and forefnger he bent for ward and silently took it from her-one corner of the Trey of Hearts but inevitably corner bearing the figure above heart.
 The Pullman agent at Portland wires no reser. vations available any New York train in the next thirty-sx hours" he said with lowered voice Couldn't we possibly catch the New York boat tonight?"
 He shook glum head. No looked that up first. It leaves before get ln"
 She said Too bad" abstractedly reclosed her eyes, and apparently lapsed anew Into semi-som noence-but without deceiving him who could well guess what poignant anxiety gnawed at her hear. He could have ground his teeth in exasperation. the impsh insolence of that warning timed so precisely to set their nerves On edge at the very moment when they congratulating th.r,- selves upon the approach of respite,
 The sheer insanity of the whole damnabe bust. ness-i
 The grim. wild absurdty of it.
 To think that this was America this the tyen. teth century the apex of the highest form of civilization the world had ever known-and still man could be hunted from pillar to post haunted with threats. harried with attempts at assassna. ton in a hundred forms-and that by slip of @ girl with the cunning of madwoman, the heart of a thug the face of charming child-the face of the woman that sat beside him, duplicating it's every perfect feature so nearly that he who loved the one could scarcely distinguish her from the other but by instinct intuition. blind guess work.
 He nodded heavy vy-heartad confirmation of sur mise slowly settling into conviction in his mind that such cunning, such purpose and pertinaclty could not possibly spring from mind well-bal- anced that the woman Judith Trine. sister to the Rose he loved so well. mad that maniac her father, who sat helpless in his cell of silence and shadows in New York day after day eating his heart out with impatience for the word that his vengeance had been consummated by the daughter whom he had inspired to execute 1t.
 An hour late in dusk of evening. the train lum bered into Portland station; and heart in moutt Alan helped Rose from the steps, shoudered a tway for her through the crowd. and almost lifted her into taxicab.
 Best hotel in town" he demanded. And be quick about it-for double tip.
 He communicated his desperate scheme to the girl en route receiving her endorsement of it. So, having registered for her and seen her safely to the door of the best available room in the house within ready call of the public lobby and office he washed up, gulped nasty meal-which Rose had declined to share. pleading fatigue-and hurried away Into the night with only the negro driver of public hack, picked up haphazard at some dis tance from the hotel, for his guide.
