its blowing fight along the beach, she sat
between Perry and another of the men

their calm discussion of her fate. They had
thrown on their masks of silence, and from
desperadoes they had changed to craven

The water was rough, but the copper
bottom of the bar cleaned reassuringly

ITO Harry the few moments tunnel trip
seemed interminable. In the inten-
L sity Of his haste, the listless calm OF
the other passengers vexed him. Their
peaceful workaday purposes appeared IN
vindictive contrast to his own mad mission.
With the vision Of Pauline's peril before
his eyes, the inaction of sitting still. even
in the rushing train. was uncomfortable. He
got up and strobe through the cars to the
far front, where. standing beside the motor
mans cage he looked out upon the tingling
rails.
The speed was more impressive here ana
the wind of their motion, dampened by the
seep of the river above. cooled little the
fever in him. His mind sought to fathom
the mystery Of the new danger. He blamed
himself for it. His careless banfering prom
Use to find her an adventure had doubtless
turned Pauline's head. Impatient, she had
set out in the storm-perhaps In searcA OF
the smugglers that his light words had pic
tured to her.
AMI yet Pauline had seldom plunged
alone into trouble. The glimpse he had
caught of Owens lowering form in the hall
way the day before returned suddenly to
his mental sight. He wondered what the
secretary had heard. what the secretary
had done.
He sprang up the steps of the subway sta
tion exultant as a prisoner set free. The
machine was waiting for him and he took
the wheel with a wave of his hand to the
driver from the garage.
Il shan't need you." he said. although he
knew that he would. He had no heart to
lead others into the dangers that seemed
to dog the footsteps of Pauline.
As the car shot away under his hand he
exulted to be alone, to be free to dare any
thing, everything, without reckoning. He
had nothing to guide him save the one word
in the unfinished telephone message-"Bay-
port" A prisoner in Bayport! 1t seemed
almost incredible-but the incredible had
been too often accomplished by the mys-
FERROUS enemies of Pauline, and he himself
had too often been ensnared In its subtle
meshes to let 1t be belittled. He took to
the shore highways watchful1y.
In the rain-softened road were ruts of a
heavily loaded automobile-ruts freshly
made since the rain. He saw them first ON
the near outskirts of Brooklyn. He lost
them in the hamlets and picked them up
again always on the main highway along
Great South Bay.
The towns lay dull and still under the
gray skies. their citizens close-housed
against the rising gale that cut sharp into
the face of the lonely driver and made him

But Harry hailed and questioned the few
persons whom he net. One of them, a
farm driver. had seen the passing of a big
machine filled with fishermen. No. there
was not woman in the machine, he was
sure. They were all dressed alike in oil
skins-new oilskins. He couldn't make out

Three miles beyond Bayport he met a
