1t was Braine whom he loved and adj

a 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.
He left the freighter as soon as q
boat could carry him ashore. The
fugitfves 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 a
sudden shock of dismay. He dived
a hand into a 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 a friendly stoker In the
excitement he had forgotten all about
such contingency as the absolute
need of money.
Florence, I'm afraid we're going to

turned her back to him. Then she sat
down again. In her hand she held
small dilapidated roll Of banknotes.
II had them with me when they
abducted me- she said. Besides,

THANK the Lord!' he exclaimed,
relievedly.
So there was nothing more to do
but be happy; and happy they were.

liar interest they aroused among the
other passengers. This unshaven
young man, in his ragged coat and

FOOLED all 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.
acs. 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
demonstrate with her In fact, he
rather envied her freedom in emotion.
Man cannot let go in that fashion; it
ds 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-
age, he was eager to learn how the
event had come about. When he had
not had a telephone message from
Norton in 48 hours, he had decided
that the Black Hundred had finally
succeeded in getting hold of him. It
mad been something of blow; for
while he looked with disfavor upon
the reporters frank regard for his
charge, he appreciated the fact that
Norton was a staff to lean on, and had
behind him all the power Of the press,
which included the privilege of going
everywhere even if one could not al
ways get back.
AS he folded the telegram and put
1t 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
was irksome to feel that no matter
when or where you moved, watching
eyes observed and chronicled these
movements.
Suddenly, not being devoid Of
sense of dry humor, Jones stepped
over to the telephone and called up
her highness the Princess Perigoff.
"Who is it,"
He was forced to admit, however
reluctantly, that the woman had
marvelously fine speaking voice.
