meet Storm at the station.
When Spike had gone, Rhinelander,
who had been telling Helen of his
plans for the future. resumed his sub
ject. And Helen,'' he said, at length,
I'm going to make a request of you
now that may seem very peculiar. You
know, as well as do, how my nephew,

than one; you know as we'll as anyone

Helen regarded her friend ~intently.

He saw the grave look on Helen's
face. Il know that you don't like to do
it. It's almost an impossibility to ask
you to do it; but Dor my sake, Helen,
I wish you would" He said no more,
but left her alone. 1t certainly was
rather a bitter thing for her. But she
knew she owed more than that to her
~benefactor.
Rhinelander was quite right. Sea-
grue had been rapidly going to pieces.
He was comforting that day with Ward
and with Adams, his servant, concern
ing their unsuccessful attempt to OBJ
tain possession of the Superstition
mine. The slightest mishap to Sea-
grue's plans served now to infuriate
him to a degree Of anger such as
he had eve previously given way to.
He u%pbraided both the men roundly
and dismissed Ward with abuse. Hard
ly a moment afterward, a man APP
peared at the apartment door with a
note. Seagrue opened it impatiently:

gain advantage and he decided at once
that he would accept. He gave or
ders for the trip to Signal, resolving
to drive out, and told Adams he was
to accompany him. They left the room
together a little later and getting into
a new roadster, started for Signal.
Spike, in the meantime, had gone to
the station and was talking to the
agent when the local passenger pulled
in and Storm got off, saw Spike and
the two left for the house.
1t was a delightful moment when
Storm greeted Helen and Rhinelander
under the old oaks. The young rail-
road mar seemed bubbling over with
happiness and Rh~inelander, perceiv-
ing his great anxiety to s~egregate
Helen for a little talk, summoned Spike
and left the couple to themselves.
Storm led Helen to the shade of one
of the big trees. Il was coming up to-
day, anyway, Helen," he began, even

"but the best of it is, you are equal

I'm not so sure of that. But I do

life to keep away from you" He looked
at her evenly. Her eyes fell under his
gaze. Il think you realize, Helen" he
went on, speaking rapidly and not al

envy but held back ty Spike and Rhine
lander launched a terrific abuse at
Seagrue and did not choose nice words
Indeed, his anger was so uncontrol-
liable, and to Helen's mind his lack Of
restraint before her guests so mex
cusable, that she %upbraided Storm Sc
verely for his Incorporate language.
Seagrue, busting his hands with his
handkerchief, already had himself I'M
der better control. It was his oppor-
tunity to take advantage of Storms
natural but extreme indignation, and
he made the most of the moment by
protesting to Helen to excuse Storms
fury, but blaming his bad temper for
the disturbance. Storm, himself,
cooled down by Spike, now tried to
make his apologies to Helen.
But is was too late. Helen would
not listen to him, and, turning away
with her guests, left Storm with no.
body to sympathize with him but
Spike.
Reaching the tennis courts, some of
the guests took up the play, while
others, looking back toward the scene
of excitement, saw Helen coming over
with Seagrue and Rhinelander. Reach
ing the courts, Helen, instead of STOP
ping, passed on with Seagrue. Two
men watched them walk away with
particular interest: Spike, who seemed
deeply concerned with the awkward
situation, and George Storm, who now
began to feel the full force of Helen's
disapprobation.
For an hour she moved among her
guests, accompanied a good part of the
time by Seagrue. To tell the truth,
it was not wholly by her own desire.
AS her indignation cooled she began
to consider that her lover had some
grounds for his ungovernable outbreak
and the exploits in which Seagrue had
figured in the endeavor to do her and
her friends all manner of harm re-.

"A fortnight spent at the Hotel Holly
pod went very rapidly for Helen

Nor was her benefactor a man to do

anticipated the happiness now upon
them. He drew her, unresisting, into
his arms and placed upon her finger
his engagement ring. This isn't the
conventional way of doing it, Helen,
but this ring has been waiting for two
long weeks for its place on your fin
ger"
They wandered some distance from
the house. But unfortunately for their
~tete-a-tete the guests were arriving.
Rhinelander, meeting these as well as
he could, was compelled to dispatch
Spike on a search for Helen.
Spike, who had lost none of his apti-
tude for situations, found her with
Storm among the oaks, and in spite
of Storms Disguised expression he de-
livered his imperative message. And,
conscience-stricken at having neglect.
ed her duties as hostess, Helen hurried
away.
Storm, in an e~xuberance of happi-
nesr, watched her go. But another
than Spike had seer the happy pair
from a distance and watched with en-
vious eyes some of their exchanges of
affection-that was Seagrue.
Smoking a cigarette, he walked de-
l%iberately to where Storm stood gazing
after his departing fiancee. The young
railroad man, aware of the sheer on

insolence.

"~Seagrue," exclaimed Storm, his
neck swelling in anger, "if you knew

to be a discharged locomotive engi-

Well, Helen Holmes is going to be my
wife, and if you say another word

without casting about for fine words.

Seagrue strobe toward him in fury.

mean by threatening me? Get back

Storms arm shot out. The next mo-
ment the two men were engaged in a
pitched battle. Spike, at a distance,
saw the mix-up, ran to Helen to warn
her of the disturbance and FASTENED
away to separate the pair.
Helen, in her excitement, started af-

Helen jumped to the top of the box
car underfoot.
S~crambling W from the deck she
ran to the end, hurried down the side
ladder and getting between the two
cars, she cut off the air and pulled the
pin.
The train, torn abruptly in two, sep

while the hind end slowed down. Num-
Der Eight had already whistled for the
junction and as the front end of the
parted local dashed over the frogs, the.
heavy passenger train swept swiftly
across almost at right angles to it..
Fast as 1t went, its observation car
barely cleared the hind end of the
local as this followed over the cross
ing in pursuit of its severed head.
The local engineer, looking hack,
saw what had happened and applied
the air. AS he slowed down, the pas
sengers now awoke to what had hap
pened, turned out of the coaches and
ran forward. Helen fell fainting from
the side ladder; she lay unconscious
on the ground as the passengers
crowded up.

senses together.

to push the passengers back. When
Helen spoke to Storm again, as she
soon did, she vas able to rise to her
feet and those passengers who re-

Spike to give privacy to the little
scene being enacted between Helen
and Storm in the foreground.
Il am desperately sorry, Helen, I

was saying to his offended sweetheart.

laughed Storm. He slipped his hand.
