Two minutes more, and Alan was ex.

his bride-to-be known to Digby's good
friend. the Reverend Mr.. Wright.

clumsy and witless bungling with the
task of fitting that ring to the finger

And then he was aware OF a door

hesitated, slowed down. and limped
dejectedly to the curb.
Alan and the chauffeur piled out in
the same instant, the one standing
guard-with an eye out as we'll for
another cab-while the other assessed
damages.

you understand this is a matter of life

things up to your satisfaction"
The man took the card and after a
glance at the name touched his hat
with more noticeable respect.
"All right, Mr.. Law" he agreed;
anything you say" And forthwith
got to work.
The rapidly with which he com.
pleted the change of tires proved him
an excellent chauffeur, an adept at his
craft; but the delay was one disas-
trous for all that. II worked together
with what Alan pardonably described
IA the devils own luck to bring the
touring car in sight at the precise mo
ment when the chauffeur was crankins
up and Alan on the point of re-enter
ing the cab. And though they were
OF again before Alan could close the
door. the attempt was hopeless from
the start.
And yet-whether or not because
Alan's distaste for interference hat

the touring car for the time beinl
contented itself with trailing abou
fifty feet in the rear, while the tax

evasion had had witness in that
strange home of deathless hatred.
Alan watched 1t through the little
window in the back of the cab until

then with a sigh OF relief sank down
by the side of the woman TO whom his
every thought. impulse and emotion
we're dedicated.
"Rose!" he whispered. and tenta-
lively touched one of the hands that
lay clenched in her lap.
She responded with never a sign to
Indicate consciousness either of his
touch or his whisper.
And reminding himself OF the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had just passed.
Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds OF reaction, and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise:
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that he had won her
safely away. that nothing now more
than a short hours drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should prove the consummation OF all

Despite the reassuring aspect, the
preoccupation of his companion sc

There was struggle OF negligible
