The Finishing Touch.

The young man hesitated to believe
the statement of her liCtle brother that
the young lady was not at home. He
repeated the question, at the same
time displaying quarter. The boy
eyed it longingly and again replied in
the negative.
But didn't she leave a message for
me?" asked the disappointed swain.

ers sake, incredulity drew veil be-
fore his vision. He viewed the world
as in glass. darkly.
He was aware of a decently fur
nished minister's study; Of two wit
nesses in the guise of unassuming
womenfolk OF the minister's house
hold; of the Rev. Mr.. Wright himself
as a benevolent voice rolling sono-
rously forth from a black-clad pres
ence; of the woman of his heart stand
ing opposite him; Of questions asked
and responses made; of a ring that
was magically conjured from some
store apparently maintained against
precisely similar emergencies; of a
hand that took the hand that was to be
his wife's and placed it in his; Of his
clumsy and witless bungling with the
task Of fitting that ring to the finger
of his sweethearts hand
And then he was aware of door
that banged violently in the hallway;
of the sound of mans voice making
some indistinguishable demand; that
Roses hand was suddenly whipped
away, before he could fit on the ring;
that the study door was flung open and
that this animal Of a Marrophat had
precipitated himself into the room.
He opened his mouth to protest
and Marrophat silenced him with a
cry.
"You fool! Drop that ring! Stop
this farce! Don't you know whom
you're marrying? That woman is Ju-
dith Trine, you idiot-not Rose!"
Blankly Alan turned to the girl.
Her flaming face, her sulIen eyes,
her very pose, from which the man
ner of Rose had dropped like cast
garment, confessed the truth of Mar
rophat's assertion. And as if this were
not enough, Judith confessed it doubly
with a sudden outbreak Of such rage
as never could have been brewed in
Roses gentle nature.
You devil!" she cried-and threw
herself in front of Marrophat with a
spring as 1.-THE as that Of a leopardess

CHAPTER XVII.
The Ring,

The Ring.
Theirs was the last vehicle to swing
between the gates before these last
were closed.
And this was quite as we'll; for Alan,
rising for one last backward glance
through the rear window, started in
voluntarily and choked upon an ex-
clamation when he deserted a power
full touring car tearing madly toward
the ferry-house, it's one passenger half
rising from the front seat, beside the
driver and exhibiting a countenance
purple with congested chagrin as be
saw his car barred out of the carriage
entrance.
Quickly sensitive to his emotion, the
girl caught nervously at Alan's hand.
What is it, dear?"
"Marrophat," he snapped.
She uttered hushed cry of dismay.
Don't be alarmed, however" he
FASTENED to comfort her. He's lost
the race: the gates are shut-even the
passenger gates-and there must be
company spotter somewhere near by,
for the gateman is virtuously refusing
to be bribed by roll of money as
thick as my wrist"
At that instant the taxicab rolled

roaring silence of the city; winches
ratified and chains clanked; and the
boat wore ponderously out of its slip.

by the foreboding her accents con

hesitated, slowed down, and limped
deiectedly to the curb.
Alan and the chauffeur piled out in
the same instant, the one standing
guard-with an eye out as we'll for
another cab-while the other assessed
damages.
Nothing for it but a new tire, sir"
this last reported sympathetically. 1T
must have been a broken bottle or
something like that-it sure did rip

I'll stand the cost of the new tire"
But if another cab comes along
while you're at it you'll lose US as

things up to your satisfaction"
The man took the card and after a
glance at the name touched his hat
with more noticeable respect.
"All right, Mr.. Law" he agreed; !;
anything you say" And forthwith
got to work.
The rapidity with which he com.
pleted the change Of tires proved him
an excellent chauffeur, an adept at his
craft; but the delay was one disas
trous for all that. 1t worked together
with what Alan pardonably described
as the devils own luck to bring the
touring car in sight at the precise mo
ment when the chauffeur was cranking
I'D and Alan on the point of re-enter
ing the cab. And though they were
Off again before Alan could close the
door, the attempt was hopeless from
the start.
And yet-whether or not because
Alan's distaste for interference haC
been too convincingly demonstrated
the touring car for the time being
contented itself with trailing abou
fifty feet in the rear, while the tax
