Two days later Virginia Scott and
Richard Gordon took passage upon

other passengers and cargo were the
collectors and their wild beasts.
For several days after receiving his

but the moment he could travel he
and Kelly set of on their return TO
the coast, the former bent now upon
carrying his felonious designs to a
successful conclusion even IL he had
to rob and murder Gordon in the
heart OF New York. The man was
desperate. His expedition had cost
him all the money that he could beg.
borrow or steal. He owed Kelly not
alone the promised reward but sew
eral hundred dollars In cash that the
latter had advanced toward the
financing OF the work. He must have
money-he must have a lot OF it-and
no was determined TO get II. Never
in his life had Scott Taylor been so
dangerous an enemy, and In this state
OF mind he and Kelly caught the
steamer following that upon which
Virginia and Gordon had sailed.
Gordon whiled away the hours OF
the voyage. when he could not be In
Virglnia's company. before the cage
OF the great lion. No one else could
approach the beast, with the possible
exception OF Virginia Scott, whom the
animal seemed to tolerate so long as
Gordon was near. Toward all others
the tawney man-eater svinced the
most frightful rage; but when Cor
don approached he became docile as
a kitten, permitting the American to
reach inside the bars and scratch his
massive, wrinkled face.
At Liverpool Gordon babe farewell

and Virginia were to take a fast liner

parting, stroking the mighty muzzle.

The lion rumbled in his throat and
rubbed his head luxuriously agains,
the bars as close to the man as he
could get, and thus Gordon left him.

were forgotten until after Gordon had
seen the two safely aboard their train
for home.
Before parting with him both had
urged that no visit them at an early
date. and gladly indeed had Gordon
promised 70 DO so. It was not until
their train had pulled out Of tho sta
ton that Virginia recalled the paper
for which Gordon had made the long
journey and risked his life.
"Hs must have forgotten II, too"
she said; but ho'll probably discover
It and mail It to you to-day"
Mr.. Richard Gordon did not. how

for many days thereafter. It had
crossed the Atlantic In one OF his
bags in the special caro- of the loyal

moved It. with other papers. as was
his custom, to a certain drawer In
