And almost Immediately someone lift-
ed his head and shoulders, caught him
with two hands beneath his arm pits
and drew him clear of the machine.
And the face Of his rescuer was the
face of Judith Trine.
The crash he had expected, of the
car being crumpled up by the oncom-
ing locomotive. did not follow.
AS he scrambled to his feet, his first
glance was up the track, and discov-
cred the train slowing to halt.
His next was one of wonder for the
countenance of Judith Trine as she
stood, at a little distance, regarding
him; her look almost illegible, a cuX'-
GUS compound Of passions coloring it.
relief, regret, hatred. love
His third glance deserted beyond
her the figures of Marrophat carrying
Rose in his arms, stumbling as he raB
toward his car on the highroad.
He moved precipitately to pursue
but found his way barred by Judith.

frenzy. You saved me Once-now

time"
"O-rot!" he interjected. You will
never have the courage to pull that
trigger when I'm helpless in your
hands!"
The hot blood mantled her exquisite
face like red fire. She caught her
breath with a sob, then flung wildly

And while he stood gaping, she

OF his nearest enemy; so that this one
doubled up convulsively, with q sick
ish grunt, and vanished IN turn over
the end Of the wharf.
His fellow followed with less injury.
But Alan had no time to wonder
whether the man had tripped and
thrown himself In his effort to escape
a second hurting keg, or had turned
coward and fed. II was enough that
ne had returned. precipitately and
heavily, to the schooner.
The keg, meeting with no resistance.
pursued him even to the deck, where
the force Of it's impact split its seams.
None Of the combatants, however,
Alan least of all, noticed that the pow
der that filtered out was black and
coarse. Alan, indeed, had only the
haziest notion that they were powder
kegs he used as ammunition. That
they were heavy and hurt when they
collided with human flesh and bone
was all that interested him.
In the same breath he heard
friendly voice shout warning far up
the dock, and knew that Barcus was
coming to his aid.
A glance over-shoulder, too, discOv-
cred the cause of the warning; two
men who had thus far escaped his
attentions were maneuvering to fall
upon him from behind. The bound
required to evade them brought him
face to face with Judith as she landed
on the dock.
oh" she cried, Il hate you, hate
you"
$50 you've said, my dear, but"
His final words were not audible
even to himself. In his confidence
(now that Barcus was taking care of
the others) and his impatience with
the woman, and in his perhaps un-
worthy wish to demonstrate conclu-
sively how cheap he held her, Alan
had tossed the pistol over the end Of
the wharf.
1t was an old-fashioned weapon, and
the force with which it struck the
deck released the hammer.
Instantly the "A cartridge blazed

make an exception for you"
Alan delayed long enough only to
make a few inquiries, drawing out
the information that, for one who had
not patience to wait the morning
train northbound. the quickest way
to any city OF importance was by boat
across Buzzard's bay to New Bedford.
Boats, 1t was implied. were plenti-
full. readily TO be chartered.
A timetable supplied all other need
full advice. Alan wrote his message
swiftly.
Addressed to Digby. his man Of
business In New York, II required that
gentleman to arrange for a motor-cor
to be held in waiting on the water
front of New Bedford from 800 a. m.
until called for in the name of Mr..
Law. as we'll as for a special train at
Providence, on similar provisions.
But now, though he was all uncon-
scious Of the fact. he went no more
alone.
His shadow in the moonlight kept
him company upon the sands; and
above, on the edge Of the bluffs, an
other shadow moved on parallel
course and at a pace sedulously pat
termed after his.
He found his sweetheart and his
friend much as he had left them, with
this difference-that Mr.. Barcus now
lay fiat on his back and snoring
Justify.
He was wakened quickly enough,
however, by Alan's news.
But when it was the turn of Rose
they faltered. She lay so still, be-
trayed her exhaustion so patiently in
every line Of her unconscious posture,
as we'll as in the sharp pallor of her
face upturned to the moon. that 1t
seemed scarcely less than downright
inhumanity to disturb her.
None the less, 1t had to be done.
Alan hardened his heart with the re-
minder of their urgent necessity, and
eventually brought her to with the
aid of a few drops Of brandy.
Between them, they helped her up
the beach, past the point, and at length
to the door of the hotel, where-reani-
mated by the mere promise Of food
Rose disengaged their arms and en-
tered without more assistance; while
Barcus was deferred from treading

Knocked II aside Is II Il had been
nothing more dangerous than q straw.
And in the same fiutter Of an eyelash
he launched himself like q wildcat at
the throat Of Mr.. Breed.
Before that one knew what was hap
pening he had gone over the stern
and had involuntarily disarmed him
self as well.
The other two men made a sad buEi-
ness Of attempting to oVerpower Mr..
Barcus. In less than q minute they
were both overheard.
And Just for this" Alan said before
getting out Of earshot-"I'm going to
treat my party to q joy-ride in your
pretty powerboat"
He concluded this speech abruptly
as Barcus brought them up under the
quarter Of the power cruiser.
Within two minutes the motor was
spinning contentedly, the moOring had
been slipped, and the motorboat was
heading out Of the harbor.
Within Ave minutes she had left It
we'll astern and was shooting rapidly
westward, making nothing Of the buf-
fets Of very tolerable sea kicked up
by the freshening southwesterly wind.
my friend" observed Alan, "as
our acquaintance ripens l am more
and more impressed that neither Of US
was born to die a natural death,
whether abed or at the hands Of those
who dislike US; but rather to be
hanged as common pirates"
You have the courage Of igno-
rance" Barcus replied coolly; III
you'll take the trouble to glance astern
I promise you a sight that will move
you to suspend judgment for the time
being"
At this Alan sat up with start.
Back against the loom Of the Eliza
beth islands through which they had
navigated while he nodded, shone the
milk-white sails Of an able schooner.
Sheets all taut and every inch of
canvas fat with the beam wind, she
footed it merrily in their wake-a sill

Then abruptly the weight was lifted
from his chest. He saw q man drag

that he had once more failed to elude
the vigilance and pertinacity of the
woman who sought his life.
He viewed the schooner with no
more display Of emotion than resided
in narrowing eyelids and Tightening
of the muscles about his mouth.
Much farther to go?" he inquired
presently, in a colorless voice
"At our present pace-say, two
hours"
And will that enable us to hold
our own"
Just about" Barcus allowed, squint-
ing critically at the chase; she's

How much lead have we got?"
"A mile or so-none too much"
Anything to be done to mend mat

"Nothing-but pray. If you remem-
Der how"
In the end they made it by a narrow
margin. The face of Judith Trine was
distinctly revealed by the chill gray
light of early dawn to those aboard
the power cruiser as she swept up
through the reaches Of New Bedford
harbor and aimed for the first wharf
that promised a fair landing on the
main waterfront of the city.
There was neither a policeman nor
watchman of any sort in sight.
Nor was there, for all his hopes and
prayers, based on the telegram to
Digby, sign Of a motor car.
Still, not much of the street was
revealed The docks on either hand

view.
If they ran for 1t, they must surely
be overhauled. Something must be

schooner from landing.
