Half a century ago, when the fame
Of Whittier, the Quaker poet, was yet
young, a somewhat similar incident
occurred in Amesbury, where he lived.
A traveller, with few hours to spare,
and soul for poetry, strolled into a
shop on the main street and asked for
"the Whittier house" The obliging
clerk shook his head.

traveller, who was Of peppery dispo-

whether the rest of the tribe live in

"They don't live in Ballyhack and
most Of 'em do live in Amesbury, and

aggrieved clerk. "All / ask is, don't

chair and glared suspiciously round
the room. 1t was true that a prac-

was the rose.
There was no one but himself in
the library.
Perplexed to evaporation, Alan fed

to annex the envelope he found ad.

1t was a blank white envelope of
good quality, the address typewriter,
the stamp English, and bore q Lon.

that she had forgotten him.

CHAPTER III.
The Trail Of Treachery.


But young Mr.. Law was sole agent
of his own evanishment; just as he
was nobody's fool, least of all his own.
The hidden meaning Of the trey of
hearts perplexed him with such dis
trust that before leaving London, he
dispatched a code cablegram to his
confidential agent in New York.
What do you know about the trey of
hearts? Answer Immediately.
The answer forestalled his arrival
in Liverpool:
Trine's death sign for your father. For
Gods sake. look to yourself and keep
away from America.
But Alan had more than once WIS.,
tied America incognito and unknown
to Seneca Trine via a secret route OF
his own selection.
Eight days out of London, second
class passenger newly landed from
one of the C.-P. steamships, he walked
the streets Of Quebec-and dropped
out of sight between dark and dawn,
to turn up presently In the distant
Canadian hamlet of Bale St Paul, ap-

hands closed round his wrists like

CHAPTER {.
The Message of the Rose

The Message OF the Rose.
Tapped deep in the leather-bound
luxury of an ample lounge-chair
walled apart from the world by the
venerable solitude of the library OF
London's most exclusive club, Mr..
Alan Law sprawled largely on the
nape of his neck) and, squirting dis
contentedly down his nose, admitted
that he was exhaustively bored.
Now the chair filled so gracelessly
stood by an open window, some twen-
ty feet below which lay a sfzable
walled garden, an old English garden
Ia full flower. And through the win
dow, now and then, half-hearted
breeze waited gusts Of warm air.
Sauve and enervating with the heavy
fragrance Of English roses.
Mr. Law drank deep of 1t. and in
spite of his spiritual unrest, sighed
slightly and shut his eyes.
An unspoken word troubled the
depth of his consciousness. so that
old memories stirred and struggled to
its surface. The word was Rose"
and for the time seemed to be the
name neither of a woman nor Of a
flower, but oddly of both, as though
the two things were one. His mental
vision, bridging the gap OF year. con-
jured up the vision of 1.-the. sweet
silhouette in white, with red roses
at her belt, posed on terrace Of the
Riviera against the burning Mediter-
ranean blue.
Mr.. Law was duly conscious that
he ought TO be sorry about something.
But he was really very drowsy indeed;
and so, drinking deep of wine-scent
OF roses, he fell gently asleep.
The clock was striking four when
ne awoke; and before closing his
eyes he had noticed that its hands
Indicated ten minutes to four. So he
could not have slept very long.
For some few seconds Alan did not
move, but rested as he was, incredu-
lOusly regarding rose which had ma
terialized mysteriously upon the little
liable at his elbow. He was quite sure
1t had not been there when he, closed
his eyes. and almost as sure that 1t
was not real.
And I'm that instant of awakening
the magic fragrance Of the rose-garden
seemed to be even more strong and
cioying sweet than ever.
Then he put out gingerly hand
and discovered that it was real beyond
all question. A warm red rose, fresh
plucked, drops of water trembling and
sparkling like tiny diamonds on the
velvet OF It's fieshy petals. And when
tmpulsively he took 1t by the stem. he
discovered a most indisputable thorn
which did service for the traditional
pinch.
Convinced that he wasn't dreaming,
Alan transferred the rose to his sound
hand. and meditatively sucked his

to strain his feet as far as their bonds
permitted. Conscious of scorching

he suffered that torture until tongue
OF flame licked up, whipped itself
round the thick hempen cord and ate
1t through.
Immediately Alan kicked his feet
free, lifted to kneeling position, and
crawled from the pyre.
AS for his hands-Alan's hunting
knife was still in it's sheath belted
to the small of his back. Tearing at
the belt with his hampered fingers, he
contrived to shift it round until the
sheath knife stuck at the belt-loop
over his left hip. Withdrawing and
conveying the blade to his mouth. he
gripped it firmly between his teeth,
and sawed the cords round his wrists
against the razor-sharp blade.
Before Alan could turn and run he
saw a vanguard of flames bridge so

man across the smoked-filled clearing.
and in less than two minutes broke
from the forest to the pebbly shore Of
a wide-bosomed lake, and within a
few hundred feet of a substantial
dam, through whose spillway a heavy
volume of water cascaded with a roar
rivaEng that of the forest-fire itself.
Two quick glances showed Alan two
things: that his only way Of escape
was via the dam; that there was a
solitary canoe at mid-lake, bearing
swiftly to the farther shore Judith

ing the paddle.
In the act OF turning toward the
dam he saw Jacob drop the paddle.
The next instant bullet from Win

bles only q few feet in advance Of
Alan.
He quickened his pace, but the next
bullet fell closer, while the third ac-
tually bit the earth beneath his run
ming feet as he gained the dam.
Exasperated, he pulled up, whipped
out his pistol and fired without aim.
At the same time, he noted that the
distance between dam and canoe had
lessened perceptibly, thanks to the
strong current sucking through the
spillway.
His shot flew wide, but almost in
stinctively his finger closed again
upon the trigger, and he saw the pad
die snap in twain, its blade falling
