desire to take her into his arms
and kiss her.
"Why, why, yes, I guess SO,
If you're sure you're not hurt"
Not Bit she sad, and then,
for some unexplained reason, they
both began to laugh. After that
they felt better.
IF your shoes are as full of
these miserable cinders as mine
are, they need emptying," de-
clared Gordon, looking ruefully
at the little velvet boots of the
lady.
He pitched upon the suit-cases
and improvised a chair. Nov,
sit down and let me take them off
for you"
He knelt in the road at her feet
and began to unbutton the tiny
buttons, holding the timid little
foot firmly, almost reverently,
against his knee.
He drew the velvet shoe softly
off and shook ont the cinders,
then shyly, tenderly, passed his
hand over the sole of the silk
stockinged foot that rested SO
lightly on his knee, to make sure
no cinders chung to 1t.
The sight and touch of that lit
tie foot stirred him deeply. He
had never before been called upon
to render service so intimate to
any woman, and he did it now
with half-averted gaze and the ut
most respect In his manner.
Celia sat watching him,
strangely stirred. She could not
understand. There must be some
thing more he wanted OF her, for
George Hayne had never been
kind In the past unless he wanted
something.
She drew a deep sigh. II only
1t were true, and he were good
and kind, and had never written
those awful letters! How dear 1t
would be to be tenderly cared for
this way! Her lips orooped at the
corners, and her eyelfyis dropped
in company with the sigh; then
Gordon looked up in great dis
tress.
You are tired!" he declared,
pausing in his attempt to fasten
the little pearl-buttons. 81 have
been cruel to let you get off the
train!"
"Indeed I'm not" said the girl,
Frightening with sudden effort.
You never can button those
shoes with your fingers" she
laughed. Here! l have a but
ton-hook in my handbag. Try
this"
She produced a small silver in
strument. He took 1t helplessly,
trying first one end and then the
other, and succeeding with nei-

terest in her welfare.
why of course | am" she said
mistakenly. Il have often taken
longer walks than that looks to
be and ! shall feel much better
for being out"
Good" Then we'll try it,"
He hurried in for the baggage
and made his way back to her side
without meeting any pOrters OF
wakeful fellow-passengers. But a
distant rumbling greeted his ears,
The waited-for express was COM
ing. II they were to get away, II
must be done at once or their
flight would be discovered, and II
certainly was better not to have II
known where they got Off. Per-
haps there would be other stops
before the train reached Buffalo
i'm which case their track would
not easily be followed.
Celia was already on the
ground. Just how 1t was to make
her lot any brighter to get out oil
the train and run away to a
strange little village, she did not
quite explain to herself. but II
seemed to be relief to her pent-
up feelings.
Gordon swung himself down on
the cinder path. For in the dis
lance a black speck was rushing
down on them. 1t was import
ant that they should be down the
embankment, out of sight. Would
the deli9s-e girl not be afraid OF
the steep incline?
She hesitated for just an In
slant at the top, for 1t was very
steep. Then, looking up at him,
she saw that he expected her to
go down with him. She gave a
little frightened gasp, set her lips
and started.
Vt certainly was not an ideal
way of travelling, but 1t LANDED
them without delay and divested
of every vestige of dignity. i,
was impossible not to laugh, and
Celia's voice rang out merrlly'
showing that she had not always
wept and looked sorrowiui.
Are you much hurt? asked
Gordon anxiously, holding her
hands and looking down at hef
tenderly. -.
Before she could reply, the ex-
press train roared above them
and when 1t was past they saw
their own train take up its inter
rupted way grumblingly, and rap
idly moving off.
The girl was deeply impressed
with Gordon's solicitude for her.
1t was so out of keeping with his
letters. Perhaps, after all, he
would not prove so terrible as she
had feared. And yet those let
tiers! She must harden herself
against him.

He asked the question half
hesitatingly. He was not quite
sure whether he was Justified In
thus obtaining private informa-
ton under false pretenses. and yet
he felt that he must know Just
what troubled her or he could
never help her.
How can you ask such a ques-
ton, since II has been the con-
slant subject of discussion In all
our letters?" she replied. sitting
up with asperity.
Il do ask it," he said quietly,
and, believe me, | have a good
motive In doing So"
Celia looked at Gordon half
angrily.

she declared. You first de-
manded that | marry you--de-
manded with a hidden threat that
IL l did not, you would bring

When | refused you, you told
me that you could not only take

CHAPTER VII.
EScape Mt Last

Gordon came to himself sud-
denly as the noise aud motion of
the train ceased. A silence of
open country succeeded, broken
now and again by voices. He
caught the fragment of sentence
from some train official: Its a
half-hour late, and maybe more.
Well just have to lie by, that's
all.
Gordon sat up, his hand vet
across his breast, where his first
waking thought had been to feel
If the little pencil-case were safe.
CHANGING stealthily toward the
nearly drawn curtains of the
berth. and perceiving no motion,
he concluded that the girl still
slept.
He slipped his feet into his
shoes. Softly, reverently, he
stopped and brought his eyes close
to the opening in the curtains.
Celia felt his eyes upon her. Her
own were closed, and by super
human effort she controlled her
breathing. slowly, gently, as If
she were asleep.
He looked for a long moment,
thrilled by the delicate beauty of
her sleeping face, filled with an
Intoxicating joy to see that her
lips were no longer white; then,
turning reverently away, he un-
locked the door and stepped forth.
The other occupants of the car
were still wrapped in slumber. He
closed the door of the compart-
ment noiselessly and went down
the aisle to the end of the car.
Gordon looked across the coun-
try, and for the first time since
he started on his journey let HIM
self remember that it was spring
time and May. The air had an
alluring softness that made one
long to tack walk anywhere out
into the world, just for the Joy of
being and doing.
And here was the chance he
craved to slip away from the train
before 1t reached place where he
; could be discovered. Perhaps this
was the only opportunity he would
have before reaching Buffalo. 1t
was a foregone conclusion that
there would be private detectives
with full descriptions and particu-
lars and only too ready to make
away with him if they could do
so without being found out by
the government.
He looked off toward the land
scape.
They were decidedly in the
country. The train stood at the
top of high embankment of Gin
