Spike bluntly.
Seagrue sprang to his feet-he was
a powerful man-and grappled with
the convict. The two struggled. Not
a word was spoken. Only the grunt-
ing and gasping OF a life-and-death
grapple, the slipping. gripping and
scuffling of two enraged men, with Lug
and Bill looking on, broke the silence
Of the room. Spike gradually bore his
enemy backward and downward. Lug
and Bill jumped in to help Seagrue.
Spike, shaking himself free from the
three, whirled into a corne and caught
up a chair. Lug jumped for a gun.
Spike, with the strength OF a giant,
smashed the heavy chair across the
table, shivering it to splinters and.
raising a piece Of it as a club, sprang
for the door. I'll brain the one that
lays a hand on me- he cried. Stand

Helen, next morning in her Office,
was getting ready to take the train.
Seagrue overnight had outlined his
scheme to his two men, and, directing
them how to work, told them that after
they had secured Helen he would pick
them up with his automobile at Mile
Post 149. With this understanding, he
drove away in his a The two men

Bill was looking from the window at

IN a few moments more Spike had
found his way to the rendezvous. Sea
grue, impatient as always, demanded
to know as soon as he entered the
room what had kept him. Spike told
his story, or at least such part of it as
he deemed it wise to tell, and. turning
the tables on Seagrue, asked what was
