The next moment he vas in the
street running for a car Berrtan had

-efr-aring figure
To think that he's come to tHi
after all those years Of living
straight" he muttered
Two hours later Lanyon arrived in
Jersey City with q good halfhour 10
spare before his train was due to
start He sat down in a corner Of
the VaitinE.room and pulled out his
timetables But, instead Of porting
over them as he had intended. he gave
himself Up to his thoughts.
Somehow. he could not get mis- land
lady's pretty daughter out Of his mind
He had tried hard to forget her, but
his thoughts always came around TO
her again before long, and every now
and then he would ask himself how
she would regard him after she had
heard the news.
He glanced up at the line Of people
sitting facing him on the opposite
benches. and over their heads to the
big clock on the wall II seemed to
him that the minutes were dragging
terribly. He was getting nervous,
He gave a startled look over his
shoulder toward the entrance. He
could feel his heart humping against
his ribs. and as he looked down again
at the timetables he saw that his
hands were trembling
And than a vision Of the gray. bleak
prison came bsfore him. He heard
the changing OF the great steel doors,
the sharp orders OF the keepers He
Strengthened up with frightened gasp
and looked about in alarm. 1t was
reassuring to find that no one was
watching him. But would his train
never be called?
How he wished he was safe across
the Honduran border What a relief
it would be to feel that he need have
no fear OF capture
Again his eyes wandered about the
room. keenly obseryant of the crowd
this tine He glanced from one to
another OF the long row OF travellers
In front OF him, slowly turned his gaze
to the doors where the passengers
were filing In from the ferries. and
then
"Dwyer,"
He choked back the cry that rose to
his lips and sank back in his seat,
white and trembling. Far down at
the other end of the room was the
man he had robbed.
For moment canyons nerve de-
serted him completely. He felt that
he was lost. that Dwyer would surely
search the room until he had discov
cred him, and that escape was i'm
possible. Probably Dwyer had not
come alone. At any rate, there were
always policemen near at hand in
such a place.
Dwyer came forward very leasurely.
For man on the trail of thief who
had relieved him OF a fortune, he
seemed to be singularly unperturbed,
He even stopped to laugh at a crow
ing baby on one OF the benches. Still, |
it was just like the old man never to
betray his true feelings.
Never before had Lanyon been |
through such agonizing moments OF
suspense. He felt that the strain was
more than he could bear. that his |
