CHAPTER XII.

When Jones received the telegra III

OF the man broke down. The suspense
had been SO keenly terrible that the
sudden reaction left him almost hys.

and his wife who had been the prnci-
pal actors in the abduction had been
found. From great ship in -midocean
they had disappeared. Doubtless they
had hidden among the immigrants,
who, for little money, would have
fooled al the officers on board There
was no doubt in Jones mind that the
pair had landed safely at Madrid.
AS for Susan, she did have hyster-
les. She went about the room, wailing
and laughing and wringing her hands.
You would have thought by her actions
that Florence had Just died. The sight
of her stirred the saturnine lips of the
butler into a smile. But he did not
remonstrate with her. In fact he
rather envied her freedom in emotion.
Man cannot let go in that fashion, it
is sign of weakness: and he dared
not let even Susan see any sign of
weakness in him.
So the reporter had found her, and
she was safe and sound and on her
way to New York? Knowing by this
time something of the reporters cour.

AS he folded the telegram and put
it into his pocket. he observed the
man with the opera glasses over the
way. He shrugged. Well, let him
watch till his eyes dropped out Of his
head; he would see only that which
was intended for his eyes. Still, it |

forced him out into the open. So be
it. Self-preservation is in no wise
looked upon as criminal. The law may
have its ideas about it, but the in
dividual recognizes no law but its own.
1t was Braine whom he loved and ad-
mired, or Norton whom he hated as
dog with rabies hates water. With
Norton free, he would never again
dare return to New York openly. This
meddling reporter aimed at his ease
and elegance. n
He. left the freighter as soon as
boat could carry him ashore. The
fugitives would make directly for the
railroad, and thither he went at top
speed. to arrive ten minutes too late.
"Free!" said Florence, as the train
began to increase its speed.
Norton reached over and patted
her hand Then he sat back with q
sudden shock Of dismay. He dived
a hand into pocket, into another and
another. The price of the telegram
he had sent to Jones was all he had
had in the world: and he had borrowed
that from friendly stoker. In the
excitement he had forgotten all about
such contingency as the, absolute
need of money.
