The professor, who was comfort
ably seated in Quests favorfte easy
chair, glanced at his watch and shook
his head.

that Craig's nerve has failed him. A

lence.
His servant entered bearing note.
This was left a few minutes ago,

boy. There was no answer required"
The man retired. Quest unfolded
the sheet Of paper. His expression
suddenly changed.
"Listen!" he exclaimed

"Then he meant 1t. after ALL" he

Just telepl 10 to French"
The professor rose to his feet,
knocked the ash from his cigar, strug-
gled into his coat and took up his hat
Then he waited until Quest had COM
pleted his conversation. The latter's
face had grown grave and puzzled. 1t
was obvious that he was receiving in
formation OF some importance. He
put down the instrument at last with
a curt word of farewell.
The professor moved towards the
door.
IF only this may prove to be the
end." he sighed.
Quest spent the next hour or SO In
restless deliberations. There were
still many things which puzzled him.
At about = quarter past nine Lenora
and Laura arrived, dressed for their
expedition.
I'm afraid we are In for q bad
thunderstorm. girls" Quest remarked.
Laura laughed.
"Who cares! The automobiles
there, Mr.. Quest"
Lets 60. then" he replied.
They descended into the street and
drove to the professors house In ST.
lence. Even Laura was feeling the
strain OF these last hours OF anxiety
On the way they picked up French
and q plain-clothes man and the whole
party arrived at their destination Just
a the storm broke. The professor

Quest did not wait for another word.
He jumped rough bush OF scrub on
the right.hand side, galloped over the
ground, which was already hot with
the coming fire, and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend, he could hear the roar of flames
In the trees. A volume OF smoke al
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran on, staggering
from right to left like drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Lee
nora was lying In the dust. A volume
OF smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already aflre. A twig fell from 1t as
Quest staggered up. and her skirt be.
gan to shoulder. He tore of his coat,
wrapped 1t around her. beat out the
fre which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.
She opened her eyes for a moment.
Where are wei" she whispered.
"The fret"
That's all right" Quest shouted.
We'll be out of II In moment. Hold
tight to my neck"
Say, that was a close shave" he
faltered. AZ he laid Lenora upon the
ground. Another FIVE minutes---well,
We won't talk about II. Let's lift her
on to your horse. Laura. and get back
to the camp"

II shall not" the girl objected. my
uncle told me, II anything happened
to him. that was to remain here"
"And remain here she shall, as long
as she likes" Mrs. Mallory insisted.
i've given my promise, too, to look
after her. and Mr.. Craig knows that
I am an honest woman"
"You may be that" the man re-
piled, "but it's just as well for you
both to understand this. I'm from the
police and what say goes. No harm
will come to the girl, Mrs. Mallory,
and she shall come back here, but for
the present she Is going to accompany
me to headquarters. II you make any
trouble, only have to blow my whis.
tie and can fill your house with po-
licemen."
"Ill CO." the girl whispered.
In silence she put on her hat and
coat, in silence she drove with him
to the police station. where she was
shown at once into the inspectors Of
fee. The man who had brought her
whispered for moment or two with
his chief and handed him the paper.
Inspector French read 1t and whis-
tied softly. He took up the telephone
by his side.
'Say, you've something OF find
here" he remarked to the plain
clothes man. Put me through to Mr..
Quest, please" he added. speaking
into the receiver.
The two men whispered together.
The girl stole from her place and
turned over rapidly the pages Of d.
rectory which was on the round table
before her. She found the "A's" quick
ly. Her eye fell upon the name Of
Ashleigh. She repeated the address
to herself and glanced around. The
two men were still whispering. For
the moment she was forgotten. She
stole on tiptoe across the room, ran
down the stone steps and fastened
into the street

and gazed with an amiable smile to.

II fear" he remarked. dolefully,
that my little treatise on the fauna OF
the northern orinoco scarcely appeals

Quest, whose arm was In a sling, but
who was otherwise none the worse for
his recent adventure. pointed out OF
the tent.
Don't you believe 1t, professor" he
begged. I've been listening to every
word. But say, Lenora. just look at
Laura and French!"
They all three peered anxiously out
OF the opening Of the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly APP
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying large bunch of wild
flowers. one OF which she was In the
act OF fastening In French's button

"That fellow French has got grit"
Quest declared. "He sticks to 1t all

date decision, $50 long as you two
invalids feel that you can stick the
journey. Besides, we're using up
these fellows hospitality"
They busted themselves for the next
hour or two, making preparations.
After their evening meal the two men
walked with Lenora and Laura to
their tent.

He kissed her for moment pas

to the back window. She saw him
emerge from the house and pass down
