There was scant room for doubt

The second note yielded a communi-
cation written on notepaper of the sim
plest elegance in a woman's hand-a
hurried scrawl:
"They are taking me West by spe-
cial train--I don't know where or why.
A servant has promised to see that
this reaches you. Save mel"
Over this Alan wrinkled an Incred
ulous nose. The hand was the hand OF
Rose, but the phraseology was not in
her spirit. He examined it more close
ly and thought to detect beneath its
scmblance of haste a deliberate and
carefully guided pen. He picked UP
the envelope to compare the handwrit
ing of the address with that of the en-
closure-and shook out a trey OF
hearts.
This last was covered, as to its face
with a plainly-written message
with the compliments of Seneca
Urine to Alan Law. We are due in
Chicago at eleven tomorrow morning
and leave Immediately for the Pacific
coast via Santa Fe route"
Comparison between this and the
message purporting to be from Rose
distilled the conviction that the same
hand was responsible for both.
Alan shrugged. So he was to be
lured away from New York and Rose
by this transparent trick, was he? Nc
fear!
He glanced at his watch, finding the
hour far too early to attempt what he
had in mind
With plenty of time on his hands
he gave the matter serious considera
ton and concluded to take no chances:
1t was just possible that Urine haC
taken Rose with him on his western
trip, after all. In such case the only
possible way of overtaking the specia
would be by air line.
Promptly Alan called up the avia
ton fields at Hampstead Plains anC
got into communication with a gentle
man answering to the surname Of
Coast: the same birdman who haC
come to Alan's rescue with his hydro
aeroplane,
Their arrangements were quickly
consummated, Coast agreeing to wait
