HeIl-Eire,

But by this stage in his history Mr..
Law had arrived ct state OF mind
immune to surprise at the discovery
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 a tightening
of the muscles about his mouth.
Much farther to go?" he inquired
presently, in 4 colorless voice.

hours"

How much lead have we got?"

Der how"
In the end they made it by narrow
margin. The face of Judith Urine 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 Il fair landing on the
main. waterfrc.,t OF the city.

Barcus followed the direction of his

sight OF rocket speariug into the
night-draped sky from Il point invis-
ible beyond the headland Of the light

The two consulted one another with
startled and fearful eyes.
As with one voice they murmured
one word: Judith" To this Alan
added grayely: "or some spy OF
hers!"
Then rousing. Alan released his

across the threshold Of the hotel.

Hey, Jake-come herC!"
Introduced as Mr.. Breed, Jake
pleaded guilty to ownership Of the
fastest and stanchest power-cruiser
In the adjacent waters, which he was
avariciously keen to charter.
They observed haste religiously;
within ten minutes they stood upon a
feat at the foot of flight of wooden
steps down the side OF The town wharf.
while the promised rowboat of Mr..
Breed drew in, at most leisurely pace,
to meet them.
Aboard and away from the wharf

the Duruen OF AIan-s soncitudo seemed
to grow lighter with every suueal
Of the greaseless oarlocks, with ev
cry dip and splash OF the blades
which, welded by a crew of villainous
countenance, brought them nearer the
handsome motorboat which Mr.. Breed
designated as his own. 1t Was not
until Alan looked up suddenly to find
Mr.. Breed covering him with re-
volver of most vicious character that
he had the least apprehension of any
danger nearer than the otIing, where
Judith's schooner might be lurking
waiting for it's prey to como out and
be devoured.
III take that money-belt Of yours,
young feller,' Mr.. Breed announced,
and be quick about it--not forgetting
what's in your trousers pocket
In the passion of his Indignation
Alan neglected entirely to play the
game by the rules, The Indifference
he displayed toward the weapon was
positively unprofessional - for he
knocked it aside as if it had been
nothing more dangerous than straw.
And in the same flutter of an eyelash
he launched himself like a wildcat at
the throat of Mr.. Breed.
Before that one knew what was hap
pening he mad gone over the stern
and had involuntarily disarmed him
self as well.
The other two men made a sad bust
ness of attempting to oVerpower Mr..
Barcus. In less than a minute they
were both overheard.
And just for this" Alan said before
getting out of earshot-"I'm going to
treat my party to a 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 five minutes she had left 1t
we'll aStern and was shooting rapidly
westward, making nothing of the buff
fets of a very toierable sea kicked up
by the freshening southwesterly wind.
My friend" observed Alan, "as
our acquaintance ripens I am more
and more impressed that neither Of us
was born to die a natural death.

CHAPTER XXI.
Anticlimax.

Alan came to himself supported by
Barcus--his senses still Keeling from
the conclusion of that thunderbolt
which he had so unwittingly loosed-
the cloud of sulphurous smoke and yet
dissipated by the wind.
Judith lay at his feet. stunned: and
round about other figures of men in
sensible, il not, for all he could say.
dead.
And then Barcus was hustling him
unceremoniously down the wharf.
Come! Comet" he rallied Alan.
Pull yourself together and keep a
stiff upper lip. Rose is waiting in
the car. and il you don't want to he
arrested you'll stir your stumps, my
son! That explosion is going to bring
the worthy burghers of New Bedford
buzzing round our ears like a swarm
of hornets!'
His prediction was justified even
before it was made; already the near
by dwellings were vomiting half
clothed humanity; already a score OF
people were galloping down toward
the head of the wharf; and in their
number policeman appeared as if by
magic.
And while the man hesitated Alan
grabbed him by the shoulder, threw
him bodily from the car. dropped into
his seat, cried warning to Rose, and
threw in the clutch. The machine re-
sponded without a jar; they were 4
hundred feet distant from the scene
Of the accident before Alan was fairly
settled in his place.
AS he grew more and more calm, he
congratulated himself on having drawn
an excellent car in the lottery Of
chance. 1t was light, but the motor
ran famously, and II not capable of
Il racing pace it would serve his ends
as speedily as was consistent with
reasonable care for the life of the
woman he loved.
Yet his congratulations were prema-
ture;;- they were not ten minutes out

and. surely enough, Alal;' brought
forth an empty hand.

"All right" he grumbled, reopenins
the door of the telegraph booth and
making a second light inside. There's
blanks and pencil. Write your mes

make an exception for YOU
Alan delayed long enough only to
make 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 Buzzards bay to New Bedford.
Boats, it was implied, were plenti-
full, readily to be chartered.
A timetable supplied all other need
full advice. Alan wrote his message
swiftly.

face upturned to the moon, that it

None the less, it had to be done.

Mr.. Thomas Barcus picked himself

tated by the impact OF grounding,
blinked and wiped tears OF pain from

and seemed to derive little if any COM
fort from the discovery that it WAS not

Mr.. Barcus dropped his hands and

accent of enlightenment; and leaving

Like Mr. Law, he wore neither shoes

damaged by salt water than they had
been-but only shirt, trousers and 4

shot of his downfall; with mighty
splash he disappeared momentarily
beneath the eurface-and left his tenn

AS fer M. Barcus, he suffered like
loss within five minutes; when, with
much pains and patience having freed
the wheel, he climbed aboard and
sought to restart the motor. After
a few affecting coughs it rclapsed into
stubborn silence.
Studicus examination at length
brought out the fact that the gasoline
tank was empty.
Not so much as a smell left" Bar
Gus reported.
