furiously on Stone.

he cried. s.

But whatever happens I'm done with
you. III have no more dealings with
you or any Of the grafters who are in

He flew to send orders stopping the
special and ordered out another spe-
cial to follow. But he had no hope.
There was no way, he was sure, OF
stopping the doomed train. The only
chance was for Dunn to fail. and that
chance. as Rockford knew only too
well, was of the slightest. Dunn Was
not the sort to fail when success de
pended upon his own efforts and when
he knew. rs he did now, the price OF
failure.

And then there were explanations.
Tom seized upon the main fact.

Kitty resented what seemed to be q

something compelling about Tom. and
she obeyed. And then while Tom and

The two thugs had been obliged to
