With this speech Bannon ranged
alongside Lanyard and looked him
over, keenly malicious enjoyment
cleaning in his evil old eyes.
you are an honest-looking chap"
he commended with suspicion OF a
mocking smile, but in tone Of the
most inoffensivO admiration-"honest
and-ah-what shall l say?-what's
the word we're all using nowadays?-
efficient! Honest and eff1cient-looking.
capable of better things, or I'm no
Judge! Forgive an old mans candor,
my friend-and take good care Of our
British cousin here. He doesn't know
his way around Paris very well. Still
l feel confident he'll come to no harm
in your company. Here's franc for
you"
With matchless effrontery he pro-
duced a coin from the change pocket
of his fur-lined coat and offered 1t to
Lanyard.
Unhesitatingly, permitting no ex-
preston to color his features, Lanyard
extended his palm, received the coin,
dropped 1t into his own pocket, and
carried two fingers to the vizor of his
cap.
"Merci, monsieur" he said evenly.
"Ah, that's the right spiritl" the
deep voice jeered. Never be above
your station, my man-never hesitate
to take tip! Here, I'll give you an
other, gratis-get out of this business; {;
you're too good for it. Don't ask me
how know; l can tell by your face.
Hello! Why. you're turning down the
flag? You haven't started yeti"
Conversation goes up on the clock, 4"
Lanyard replied stolidly in French.
He turned and faced Bannon sQuarely,
loosing glance of venomous hatred
into the others eyes. "The longer
have to stop here listening to your
senile monologue," he added with un-
mistakable meaning, "the more you'll
have to pay. What address, please?"
he added, turning back to get glimpse
Of his passenger.
Hotel Astoria, the porter supplied.
Very good"
The porter closed the door.
But remember my advice" Bannoil
counseled coolly, stepping back and
waving his hand to the man in the cab,
Good night"
Without noticing him further, Ian.
yard took his car smartly away from
the curb, wheeled round the corner
into the Boulevard des Capucines, and
made toward the Rue Royale.

CHAPTER XIV.
Apostate.

ApoState.
When there was no more light inthe
sky profound sigh escaped Lanyard's
lips, and with a slight nod toward the
place where the light had been, and
the gesture of one who recognizes and
signifies submission to an omen, he
turned and tramped heavily back
across town.
At one stage Of his journey he
turned aside and, more through habit
than desire or design, entered a cheap
eating-place and consumed his eve-
ming meal without the slightest com.
prehension of what he ate or whether
the food were good or poor.
When he had finished he fed the
place like haunted man.
Quite without purpose he sought the
machine shop where he had left his
car.
He had no plans; but It was in his
mind, murderous thought, that be-
fore another day daYned 30 might
come face to face with Bannon.
Meanwhile he would go to work. He
could think out his problems while
driving his cab as well as in seclusion;

glare Of electricity beating upon him
from every side. And poignantly he
regretted neglecting to mask himself
with his goggles.
He wasn't left long in suspense. The
coughing died away by spasms, fol-
lowed by the Enthusiastically sonorous
accents of Bannon's voice.
well, dear boy! l have to thank
you for an excellent dinner and most
interesting evening. Pity to break 1t
up SO early. Still, business-you
know! Sorry you're not going my way
but that's good-looking taxi you've
drawn. What's its number-eh?"
Haven't the faintest notion" a
British voice drawled in response.
Never bother about a taxi's number
until 1t has run over me-"
Great mistake" Bannon rejoined
cheerfully. Always take your taxi's
number before entering. Then, II any
thing happens However, that's a
good-loolsing chap at the wheel =
doesn't look as If he'd run you into any
trouble"
"oh, fancy not" said the English
man, hore1.
Still, you nsgeY can tell. There's

ming under forced draft. But yoa
won't refuse to Join me In a whisky
and-soda?"
NO" said Lanyard slowly-"not II
we drink from the same bottle"
Again the 1nglishman laughed UNI
affectedly as, turning to side-table,
he fetched a decanter, glasses, bottled
soda, a box of cigarettes, and placed
them on stand within Lanyard's
reach.
With all the ease and courtesy Of a
practiced host he measured whisky
into Lanyard's glass till checked by a
quiet Thank you," and helping him
self generously, opened the soda.
"I'll not ask you to drink with me-"
he said with a twinkle, "but-chin-
chin!" and fitting his glass, half emp
tied it at draft.
Muttering formally, at disadvan-
tage and resenting it, Lanyard drank
with less enthusiasm, If without mis-
givings.
Wertheimer selected cigarette and
lighted 1t at leisure.
WELL" he said, smiling through a
cloud of smoke. "I think we're fairly
on our way to an understanding, con-
sidering that you told me to go to
hell when last we met!"
His spirit was irresistible. In spite
Of himself Lanyard returned the

and whatever he ultimately decided to
do, ne could accomplish little before
midnight; finally, it was quite within
the bounds Of possibility that his car
would prove valuable asset to what
ever course of action he might elect to
pursue.
Toward seven o'clock, with his ma
chine in perfect running order, he
mounted to the seat and took to the
streets in reckless humor-the temper
Of beast Of prey.

those thousand that infest Paris. Peo-
pie hailed him from sidewalks and res.
taurants half a dozen times In the
course Of the next three hours; he
took them up. carried them to their
several destinations, received payment,
and acknowledged their gratuities with
perfunctory thanks-all thoroughly in
character. aud all with little conscious
thought.
He saw but one thing. the face of
Lucy Shannon. white, tense, glimmer-
ing wanly in shadows-the face with
which she had dismissed him.
He had but one thought-the desire
to read the riddle of her bondage. To
accomplish this he was prepared to 60
to any extreme; IL Bannon and his
crew came between him and his pur.
pose, so much the worse for them
and, incidentally. so much the better
for society! What might happen to
himself was of no moment.
He entertained but one design, to
become again what he had been, the
supreme adventurer, the prince OF
plunderers, to lose himself once more
in the suspense of adventurous days
and the delirium of peril-haunted
nights, to reincarnate the Lone Wolf
and in MS guise loot the world anew
to court oblivion even at the prisons
gates.
1t was after ten when, cruising pur-
poselessly, without fare, he swung
through the Rue Auber into the Place
de rOpera, and approaching the Cafe
de la Paix, was hailed by doorboy OF
that restaurant.
Drawing in to the curb with the In
difference that had distinguished his
every action of the evening, he waited
with a throbbing motor and mind de
tached and gaze remote from the tides
of foot and wheeled traffic brawling
past on either hand.
After a moment two figures, both
masculine, issued from the revolving
door of the cafe and approached the
cab. Lanyard paid them no attention
In his preoccupation he would have
needed only the repetition Of an ad
dress in his ear and the noise of the
cab door slammed to send him off lil1'
a shot.
But he received no such order
there was a pause; then he heard on,
of the men cough heavily, and in |
twinkling Lanyard had .stiffened t,
rigidity in his seat. If he had hear'
that cough but once before, that ono
had been too often. Without glanc
askance, hardening his features to al
solute immobility, he knew that tn
cough was shaking the slighter o

Her voice trailed off brokenly into a
little sob. But as, moved beyond his
strength to resist, Lanyard put forth a
hand to take the white-gloved one
resting on the cushion beside her, she
withdrew it with a swift gesture of
denial.
MOI" she cried. please! You
mustn't do that. You only make it

"Why?"
81 can't tell you"
"If you love me, you must tell me-"
She was silent, the white hands
working nervously with her handker-
chief.
"Lucy!" he insisted-"you must say
what stands between you and my love.
It's true, have no right to ask, as l
had no right to speak to you of love.
But when we have said what we have
said-we can't stop there. You will
tell me, dear?"
She shook her head. "It-it's i'm
possible" she declared in a choking
voice.
"You leave me no alternative" he
said in voice he hardly knew for his
own, so dull and hollow was it in his
hearing-"I can only think one thing"
Think what you must" she said
lifelessly; ut doesn't matter, so long
as you renounce me and put me out of
your heart and-leave me-"
Without other response he leaned
forward and tapped the glass, signal
ing the driver to stop. And as the
cab swerved sharply in toward the
curb he laid hold of the door-latch.
Lucy" he pleaded, don't let me go
believing"
She seemed suddenly infused with a
cold, implacable hostility.
II tell you," she said cruelty, '1
don't care what you think, so long as
you go!"
The face she now showed him was
ashen, its mouth was hard, her eyes
blazed feverishly.
And then, as still he hesitated, the
cab pulled up, and the driver, leaning
back, unlatched the door and threw it
open.
With a curt, resigned inclination Of
the head Lanyard rose and got out.
Immediately the girl grasped the
i speaking-tube, the door slammed, the
cab drew away, and left him standing
with the pose, the gesture of one who
has just heard sentence of death pro-
nounced on him.
When he reused to know his sur.
roundings he found himself standing
on a corner Of the Avenue du Bois de
Boulogne.
1t was bitter cold in the wind sweep
ing down from the west, and 1t had
grown very dark. Only in the sky
above the Bois long reef of crimson
light hung motionless, against which
the leafiess trees of the avenue lifted
their gnarled, weird silhouettes.
While he watched the crimson ebbed
swiftly and gave way to mauve, to vio-
let, to black.
Meade County news., 1916-06-08
CHAPTER xxIII-continued.

There was sufficient light to enable
him to see clearly the face of the
passenger-its pale oval and the eyes
whose gaze clung to hi with an effect
of confused fascination.
She sat quite motionless until one
white-gloved hand moved uncertainty
toward her bosom.
That brought him to; unconsciously
lifting his cap, he stepped back
pace and started to move on.
But at that she bent quickly forward
and unlatched the door, 1t swung wide
to him.
Hardly knowing what he was doing,
he accepted the mute invitation,
stepped into the cab, took the empty
seat beside her, and closed the door.
Almost at once the block was lift
ed, and the car moved on with jerk,
the girl sinking back into her corner
with a suggestion of breathlessness,
as though the effort she made to seem
composed had been almost too much
1or her strength.
Her face, turned to Lanyard in the
half-light, appeared immobile, ex-
pressionless; only her eyes were alertS
with anticipation But she said moth
ng.
On his part Lanyard felt himself
aopelessly contounded, in the grasp
Of emotions that would scarcely suffer
him to speak. A great wonder OBJ
sessed his mind that she should have
opened the door to him no less than
that he should have entered through
it. Dimly he understood that both
had acted without generalization, and
he asked himself: "Was she already
regretting that momentary weakness
or whatever it had been?"
"Why did you do that?" he heard
himself demand abruptly, and felt that
his voice sounded harsh, strained, un-
natural.
She stiffened slightly, with nervous
movement Of her shoulders.
Because l saw you"
did you want to talk to me, per-
haps?" he prompted.
II was surprised; l had hoped-be-
lieved-you had left Paris"
She surveyed his costume with
curious glance, perplexed.
"Why are you dressed that way? Is
it a disguise?"
"A pretty good one-as matter of
fact, the national costume Of one in
my present station in life."
"But you are wrong. recognized
you instantly, didn't 1? And those 9TH
ers-they're as keen-witted as I-cer-
tainly! Oh, you should not have
stopped in Paris!"
Il couldn't go without knowing what
had become of you.
II was afraid of that" she confessed.
"Then why"
"Oh, l know what you're going to
say! Why did run away from you?"
Then, since he said nothing, she con-
tinued unhappily: 81 can't tell you. |
mean, / don't know how to tell you'll"
She kept her face averted, sat gaz-
ing blankly out of the window; but
when he remained mute and unre-
sponsive-in point of fact not knowing
what to say-she turned to look in
quiringly at him, and the glare Of
passing lamp showed him her counte-
nance profoundly distressed, her
mouth tense, bows knitted, eyes cloud
ed with perrle<ity and appeal.
Ard of a sudden, seeing her so tor
mented and 40 piteous, his indigns-
tion ebbed, and with it all his doubts
of her; dimly he OWNED that there
was something behind this dark fabric
D1 mystery aud inconsistency that.
