looked at Mary Elizabeth, and they
giggled.
"Hello, Mary Lizbeth," said
Dorothy.

Hargreave covered a good deal OF
ground, but during all this time his
right hand never left the automatic in
his overcoat pocket, except at those
moments when he was obliged to sign
his checks. He would shoot and make
inquiries afterward.

Hargreave read the note. 1t stated
briefly that all his movements during
the day had been noted. 1t was known
that he had collected a million in pa
per money. II he surrendered this he
would be allowed twenty-four hours
before the real chase began. Other

War Over a Glass of Water.

The war of the Spanish succession,
in which the great duke of Marlbor.

to be the outcome of glass of water
at a ball at the Tuileries in Paris.

pressed a wish for a drink of water
in the hearing of the British and
Spanish ambassadors, who fastened to
get it for her. Returning each with

Hargreave saw a dozen shadows in
the front yard.
Men all about the back yard"
whispered Jones down the hall
The master eyed the man
Very we'll, SIR" replied the latter,
with understanding. II am ready"
The master went to the safe, emptied
it of its contents, crossed the hall to
the bedroom, and closed the door softly
behind him, Jones having entered the
same room through another door to be-
fool any possible watcher. After a
long while, perhaps an hour, the two
men emerged from the room from the
same doors they had entered. So whis-
pered the watcher to his friends be-
low.
"Hargreave is going upstairs"
Let him go. Let him take a look
at us from the upper windows. He
will understand that nothing but wings
will save him."
Silence. By and by watcher re-
ported that he heard the scuttle of the
roof rattle.

A blush glare came from the roof

They never saw the man-made bird
till it alighted upon the roof. They
never thought of shooting at it till 1t
had taken wing! Then they rushed
the doors of the house. They made
short work of Jones, whom they tied
up like a Christmas fowl and pumped
roughly into chair. They broke open
the safe, to find it empty. And while
the rogues were rummaging about the
room, venting their spite upon many a
treasure they could neither appreciate
nor understand, man from the out
side burst in.
THE old man is dead and the money
is at the bottom of the ocean! We
punctured her. She's gone!"
A thin, inscrutable smile stirred the
lips of the man bound in the chair.

"Well, l haven't the least doubt that
when l ask you will give"
"Withour question, sir. It was al
ways so understood"
Hargreaves glance sought the mir
ror, then the smileless face of his
man. He laughed, but the sound con-
veyed no sense of mirth; then he
turned and went down the steps slow
ly, like a man burdened with some
thought which was not altogether to
his liking He had sent an order for
his car, but had Immediately counter

grew tired, hail taxicab, and take a
run up and down Broadway. The
wonderful illumination might prove di-
verting. For IS years nearly; and
now 1t was as natural for him to
throw a glance over his shoulder
whenever he left the house as 1t was
for him to breathe. The average man
would have grown careless during all
these years; but Hargreave was not
an average man; he was, rather, an
extraordinary individual. 1t was his
life in exchange for eternal vigilance,
and he knew and accepted the fact.
Half an hour later he got into a
taxicab and directed the man to drive
downtown as far as Twenty-third
street and back to Columbus circle.
The bewildering display of lights, how
ever, in nowise served to lift the sense
of oppression that had weighed upon
him all day. South Of Forty-second
street he dismissed the taxicab and
stared undecidedly at the brilliant
sign of famous restaurant. He was
neither hungry nor thirsty; but there
would be strange faces to study and
music.

CHAPTER |.
A Call In the Nlaht.

There are few things darker than a
country road at night, particularly II
one does not know the lay of the
land. 1t is not difficult to traverse a
known path; no matter how dark 1t
It, one is able to find the way by the
aid of a mental photograph taken in
the daytime. But supposing you have
never been over the road in the day
time, that you know nothing whatever
of its topography, where 1t dips or
rises, where 1t narrows or forks. You
find yourself in the same unhappy
state of mind as blind man suddenly
thrust into strange house.
One black night, along a certain
country road in the heart Of New Jer-
sey, in the days when the only good
roads were city thoroughfares and
country highways were routes to linn
DO, carriage went forward cautious
ly. From time to time it careened
like a blunt-nose barge In a beam sea.
The wheels and springs voiced their
anguish continually; for 1t was good
carriage, unaccustomed to such ruts
and hummocks.
Faster, faster!" came a muffied
voice from the interior.
"Sir, dare not drive any faster"
replied the coachman. II can't see the
horses heads, sir let alone the road.
I've blown out the lamps, but l can't
see the road any better for that"
Let the horses have their heads;
they'll find the way. 1t can't be much
farther. You'll see lights"
The coachman swore In his teeth,
All right. This man who was In such
a hurry would probably send them all
into the ditch. Save for the few stars
above, he might have been driving
Beelzebubs coach in the bottomless
pit. Black velvet, everywhere black
velvet A wind was blowing, and yet
the blackness was so thick that it
gave to the coachman the sensation of
mild suffocation.
By and by, through the trees, he
saw a flicker Of light. 1t might or
might not be the destination. He
cracked his whip recklessly and the

hands. Many times he had journeyed
to the school and hung about the
gates, straining his eyes toward the
merry groups of young girls. Which
among them was his, heart of his
heart, blood of his blood? That she
might never be drawn into this
abominable tangle, he had resolutely
torn her out of his life completely.
The happiness of watching the child
grow into girlhood he had denied him
self She at least would be SAFE Only
when she was safe in a far country
would he dare tell her. He tried in
vain to conjure up picture Of her;
he always saw the mother whom he
had loved and hated with all the ardor
Of his youth.
Many things happened the next day.
There was a visit to the hangar Of
one William Orts, the aviator, famous
for his daredevil exploits. There were
two visitors, in fact, and the second
visitor was knocked down for his
pains. He had tried to bride Orts.
There were several excited bankers,
who protested against such large with
drawals without the usual formal an
nouncement. But a check was a
check. and they had to pay.

carriage lurched on two wheels. The
man in the carriage balanced himself
carefully, so that the bundle in his
arms should not be unduly disturbed.
His arms ached. He stuck his head
out of the window.
That's the place." he said. And
when you drive up make as little noise
as You can"
Yes, sir" called down the driver.
When the carriage drew up at its
journeys end the man inside jumped
out and fastened toward the gates.
He scrutinized the sign on one of the
posts. This was the place:
MISS FARLOW'S PRIVATE SCHOOL.
The bundle in his arms stirred and
he hurried up the path to the door
OF the house. He seized the ancient
knocker and struck several times. He
then placed the bundle on the steps
and ran back to the waiting carriage,
into which he stepped.
of with you'll"
That's good word, sir. Maybe
we can make your train"
DO you think you could find this
place again."
you couldn't get me on this pike
again, sir, for thousand; not mel"
The door slammed and the unknown
sank back against the cushions He
took out his handkerchief and wiped
the damp perspiration from his fore
head. The big burden was off his
mind. Whatever happened in the fu-
ture, they would never be able to get
him through his heart. So much for
the folly of his youth.
1t was quarter after ten. Miss
Susan Farlow had just returned to the
reception room from her nightly tour
