AT first blush the circumstance
seemed surprising, that the car diu

himself that Marrophat and Jimmy
could not possibly have witnessed the
accident involving Alan and Rose, who,
together with the wreck of their ma.
chine, remained well.cloaked by the

their quarry. whose life they most

Nor would Tom Barcus be exempt.
IL they were caught in company
though Judith might be, in view of
Marrophat's infatuation for the girl.
These two were far ahead, out Of
sight, indeed; and must somehow be
overtaken and warned-no easy mat
ter, since the machine which bore
them was, If anything, faster than
Alan's, just as the racing automobile
was faster than either.
Alan kept his gaze steadfast to the
road before them, daring not once to
look up and round or back.
So sinuous and meandering was its
course, indeed, that Alan seldom could
see hundred yards of it ahead. but
must pelt on in panic fight, hoping
for the best-that Judith and Barcus
would soon show up in front, that
something might happen to hinder the
pursuit-never knowing whether the
latter lost or gained.
And thus catastrophe befell
Round the swelling bosom of wood

like hunted hare, and without the
least warning came upon Barcus and
Judith, dismounted, Barcus bending
over his cycle and tinkering with Its
motor.
For one horripilating instant COLI
sion seemed unavoidable. Barcus and
Judith and the motorcycle occupied
most of the width of the road; there
was little room between them and the
declivity, less between them and the
forest. To try to pass them on the
latter side would be only to dash his
brains out against the trees; while te
make the attempt on the outside would
