CHAPTER TX.
ForeWarned.

|
| The thing was managed with an In
genuity that Alan termed devilish-it
was indisputably Machiavellian.
The lovers had come down from the
North in hot haste and the shadow Of
death. Two days Of steady travelling
by canoe, by woods trail, by lake
steamer-forty-eigh hours Of fatigue
and strain eased by not one instant's
relaxation from the high tension Of
vigilance upon which their very lives
depended - wore to- elimination
through this tedious afternoon on the
train from Moosehead-a trap of phys
ical torment only made possible by
Alan's luck in securing, through sheer
accident, two parlor-car reservations
turned back at the last moment be-
fore leaving Kineo station.
No matter-the longest afternoon
must have it's evening: the pokiest Of
trains comes the more surely to its
destination; in another hour or two
they would be in Portland-free at
last to draw breath of ease in a land
of law, order and sane living.
AS if in answer to this thought, the
train slowed down with whistling
brakes to the last hill-station, and as
a lout Of boy came galloping down
the aisle, brandishing two yellow en-
velopes and blatting like a stray calf:
'Mista Lawrl Mista Lawr! TEL
grams for Mista Lawr!"
Alan had been expecting at every
station prepaid reply to his wire for
reservations on the night express from
Portland to New York.
But why two envelopes superscribed
"Mr. A. Law, Kineo train southbound,
Oakland Sta %
He tore one open, unfolded the IN
and grunted disgust with it's
curt advice, opened the other and
caught his breath sharply as he with,
drew-part way only-a playing card,
a trey of hearts.
Thrusting it back quickly, he clapped
both envelopes together tore them
into a hundred fragments, and scat
tered them from the window. But
the fiendish wind whisked one small
scraps back-and only one!-into the
lap of the woman he loved.
Vainly he prayed that she might
be asleep. The silken lashes trembled
IN her cheeks and lifted slightly, dis
closing the dark glimmer of question,
ng eyes. And as she clipped the scrap
# cardboard between thumb and fore
niger he bent forward and silently |

time and waded out, to collapse, ex
hausted, against the bank.
Then, with sickening qualm, Alan
remembered the pursuit. He rose and
looked up the rapid just in time to
view the last swift quarter of the
canoes descent: Judith in the bow,
motionless, rifle across her knees, in
the stern an Indian guide kneeling
and fighting the waters with scarcely
perceptible effort in contrast with
Alan's supreme struggles.
Like a living thing the canoe
seemed to gather itself together to
poise, to leap with all it's strength !;
the still water with a mighty splash,
and shot downstream at diminished
speed, the Indian furiously backing
water.
AS though that had been the one
moment she had lived for, Judith
lifted her rife and brought it to bear
upon her sister.
With a cry of horror, Alan flung
himself before Rose, living shield,
anticipating nothing but immediate
death. This was not accorded him.
For GREATNESS instant the woman in
the canoe stared along the sights,
then lowered her weapon and, turn
ing, spoke distinguishably to the
guide, who instantly began to ply
brisk paddle.
The canoe sped on, vanished swiftly
round a bend.
After a long time, Alan voiced his
unmitigated amazement:
"Why-in the name of heaven!
Why"
The girl said DULY. Don't you
know" And when he shook his head
"Her guide told mine you had saved
her life on the dam at Spirit Lake.
Now do you see?"
His countenance was blank with
wonder: "Gratitude?"
Rose smiled YEARLY: Not. graft
tude alone, but something more ter
rible. " She rose and held
out her hand. mot that l can blame
her. But come; if we strike
through here we will, I think, pick up
