1t was at this moment that the ma
tron of the building stepped up to the
absorbed couple, resolved to do her
duty. Her lips were pursed to their

CHAPTER X.-ContInued,

Il could scarcely believe my ears at
FIRST 1t seemed to me that must be
mistaken, that they could not be talk
ing about me, But my name was men,
toned again and again. and as each
link in the horrible plot was made
plain to me, my terror grew so great

ductor and porter to help me. But
something held me still. and heard
Ri ichard say that he had Just inform
ed the trainmen that was insane, and
that they need not be surprised II
had to be restrained.
Il sat still. hardly daring to
breathe. Then began to go over the
story bit by bit. and to put together
little things that had happened since
we landed. and even before 1 had left
Vienna and saw that I was caught
In a trap. 1t would be no use to ap-
peal to any one. for no one would be-
lieve me.
81 watched the names of the stations
as they flew by. but 1t gradually grew
dark. and could hardly make them

could not be sure.
81 was freezing with horror and with
cold. but did not dare to move, lest
I attract their attention.
I'VE began to rush past rows of
houses, and knew we were approach
ing q city. Then. suddenly. the train
slowed down and stopped. with very
little warning. as If 1t intended to
halt only a second and then hurry on.
There was a platform on one side
OF the train. but we were out beyond
the car-shed, for our train was long.
I could not climb over the rail to the
platform. for was sitting on the side
away from the station. and would have

"On the other side were a great

there was nothing could do but climb
over the rail and get across those

MY hand were SO cold and trem

Il cannot remember how got

while an express train rushed by. and
the shock and noise almost stunned
me. 1t was a miracle that l was not

afterwards. was conscious only of

thought l saw Richard come to the
door OF the car. Then I stumbled on
blindly. I don't remember any more
until l found myself hurrying along
that dark passage under the bridge and
saw you Just ahead. was afraid to
speak to you. but I did not know
what else to do. and you we're 80 good
to me-l" Her voice broke in q little
sob.
All the time she had been talking
ne had held her hand firmly. She had
forgotten that any one might be watch
4ng; he did not care.
The tall girl with the discontented
upper lip went to the matron and told
her that she thought the man and the
woman in the parlor ought to be made
TO go. She believed the man was try
Ing to coax the girl to do something

of her. Good by! Cheer up. it'll be all
right"
| But, Tryon, her name"
The receiver was hung up with a
click, and Dunham looked at his watch
nervously.
In the meantime. the girl had slipped
| into her own garments once more with
relief and Joy she could scarcely be-
lieve were her own. Had it all been
an ugly dream. this life she had been
living for the past few months. and
was she going back now to rest and
peace and real life? Nay. not going
back. but going forward.
A knock at the door brought her
back to realities again. Her heart
throbbed wildly. Had he come back
to her already7 Or had her enemy
found her out at last?
Tryon Dunham hurried up the steps
Of the Y. w. C. A. building, nearly
knocking over a baggy individual in
rubbers, who was lurking in the en-
trance. The young man had seen a
boy in uniform, laden with two enor-
nous boxes, run up the steps as he
turned the last corner. Hastily writ
| ing a few lines on one of his cards
and slipping it into the largest box. he
sent them both up to the girls room.
Then he sauntered to the door to see
II the carriage had come. 1t was there.
He glanced inside to see If his orders
about flowers had been fulfilled, and
| spoke few words Of direction to the
driver. Turning back to the door, he
found the small, red eyes of the baggy
Irishman fixed upon him. Something
in the slouch of the figure reminded
Durham strongly now Of the man he
had noticed the night before, and as
he went back into the building he
looked the man over we'll and deter
mined to watch him. AS he sat in the
office waiting, twice he saw the bleary
eyes Of the baggy man applied to the
glass panes in the front door and an
suddenly withdrawn. It irritated him.

asked the man II he were looking for
some one.

tude. "She has a room in here, an
saw her go in a while back"
"WeAl, you'd better move on. They
don't care to have people hanging
around here"
| Upstairs the girl had dared to open
her door and had been relieved to flnd
the elevator boy there with the two
boxes.
"The gentleman's below. an he says
he'll wait, an he sent these up" said
the boy, depositing his burden and
hurrying away.
She locked her door once more, for
somehow a great fear had stolen over
her now that she was again dressed in
har own garments and could be easily
recognized.

retired to snub the girl with the dis
contented upper lip. Then she sent
the elevator boy to carry the girls
suitcase. As the matron came back
to the Office. a baggy man with cush-
ioned tires hustled out of the open
door into the street, having first cast
back . keen. furtive glance that
searched every corner Of the place.
"Now," said Durham reassuringly.
az the matron disappeared. you can
go up to your room and get ready, and
I will look after few little matters.
The elevator boy appeared in the
doorway with the familiar suitcase.

her to tho elevator. "I'll soon be back
