into the others eyes. "The longer l

The porter closed the door.

When there was no more light in the

lips, and with 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.

When he had flashed he fed the

Quite without purpose he sought the
machine shop where he had left his
car.
He had no plans; but it was In his
mind, a murderous thought, that be-
fore another day dawned he 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;

He had gone but block when the
window at his back was lowered and
his fare observed pleasantly:

The adventurer hesitated an in
slant; then, without looking round, re-
sponded:
"Wertheimer, eh?"
"Right-o! The old man had me

ann whatever he ultimately decided to
90. 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
c4sne in perfect running order. he
mounted to the seat and took to the
streets in reckless humor-the temper
of beast of prey.
The barrier was down-once more
the Lone Wolf was on the prowl
But for the present he controlled
himself and acted perfectly his tenn
porary role Of taxi-bandit, fellow to
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 and 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 go
to any extreme; if Bannon and his
crew came between him and his pur-
pose, so much the worse for them
and, incidentally, 50 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 his guise loot the world anew
to court oblivion even at the prisons
gates.
It was after ten when, cruising pur-
poselessly, without a fare, he swung
through the Rue Auber into the Place
de POpera, and approaching the Cafe
de la Paix, was hailed by a 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 adj
dress in his ear and the noise Of the
cab door slammed to send him off like
shot.
But he received no such order;
there was pause; then he heard one
Of the men cough heavily, and in a
twinkling Lanyard had stiffened to
rightly in his seat. If he had heard
that cough but once before, that once
had been too often Without glance
askance, hardening his features to alb
solute immobility, he knew that the
cough was shaking the slighter of
those two figures.
And of a sudden he was acutely
conscious of the clearness of the
frosty atmosphere, of the mercileSS

Her voice trailed off brokenly into
little sob. But as, moved beyond his
strength to resist, Lanyard put forth
hand to take the white-gloved one
resting on the cushion beside her, she
withdrew it with a swift gesture of
denial

"Why?"

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
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

She shook her head. Tits Inn

voice.

hearing can only think one thing"
Think what you must" she said
lifelessly; 1T doesn't matter, SO long
as you renounce me and put me out of
your Q0dFL dUu-lSdVS mO.
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
cold, implacable hostility.
81 tell you," she said cruelty, II
don't care what you think, so long as
you go!"
The face she now showed him was
blazed feverishly
And then, as still he hesitated, the
cab pulled up, and the driver, leaning
back, unattached the door and threw it
open.
With a curt, resigned inclination Of
the head Lanyard rose and got out.
Immediately the girl grasped the
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 corner of the Avenue du Bots de
Boulogne.
1t was bitter cold in the wind sweep
ing down from the west, and it had
grown very dark Only in the sky
above the Bots 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

We may as well cut the sparring and

But before we do, I'd like permission
to offer one word of friendly advice"
"And that is"
