Lanyard's emaciated purse. Nor did
he fret that, when the bill had been
paid and the essential tips bestowed,
there would remain in his pocket little

confident, he harbored no doubts of a
smiling future-now that the dark
pages in his record had been turned
and sealed by resolution he held ir-
revocable.
His spirits had mounted to a high
pitch, thanks to their successful eva

he was hungry, he was-in short-very
| much alive. And the consciousness of
common peril knitted an enchanting
intimacy into their talk.
For the first time in his history Lam
yard found himself in the company of
| woman to whom he dared-and
| cared-to speak without reserve-a
circumstance intrinsically Intoxicating.
And stimulated by her unquestiopable
interest and sympathy, he did talk
without reserve-of old Troyon's and
| its drudge Marcel, of Bourke and his
| wanderings, of the education of the
Lone Wolf and his career less in pride
than in relief that it was ended, of the
future he must achieve for himself.
And, sitting with chin Graded on the

And if at times her grave eyes

Sheer Impudence.

Though it was not yet eight o'clock
when they entered the restaurant, it
was something after eleven before
Lanyard called for his bill.
Now again the rain had ceased and,
though the sky remained overcast, the
atmosphere was clear and brisk with a
touch of frost, in grateful contrast to
the dull and muggy air that had OBJ
tanned for the last twenty-four hours.
We'll walk" Lanyard suggested
eff you don't mind-part of the way at
least; it'll eat up time, and bit of ex-
ercise will do us both good"
The girl assented quietly.
The drum of their heels on fast-dry-

from the silence of that drowsy quar-
ter, lonely clamor that rendered it
impossible to ignore their apparent
solitude-as impossible as it was for
Lanyard to ignore the fact that they
were followed.
Supremacy on the alert, he had dis
covered the pursuit before they left

CHAPTER XVl-Continued.

I'm afraid" Lanyard said after q
must be thinking. One can't do your
intelligence the injustice to imagine
you haven't understood me-read all
that was in my mind and-his voice
fell-"in my heart. I own that I was
wrong to speak so transparency, to
suggest my regard for you at such a
time, under such conditions. l am
truly sorry, and beg you to consider
unsaid all that should not have said.
After all, what earthly difference can
1t make to you if one thief more de-
cides suddenly to reform?"
That brought her abruptly to her
feet, showing him a face Of glowing
loneliness, with eyes distractingly
dimmed and softened.
"No!" she implored breathlessly.
"Please, you mustn't spoil It.! You've
paid me the finest of compliments, and
one I'm glad and grateful for-and
would I might think deserved! You
say you need year to prove yourself?
Then-I've no right to say this-and
you must please not ask me what
mean-then I grant you that year. A
year I shall wait to hear from you
from the day we part, here in Paris.
And tonight l will go with you, too,
and gladly, since you wish me to-"
And then as he, having risen, stood
at loss. thrilled and incredulous, with
brave and generous gesture she Of
fered him her hand, across the table
whereon still rested the spoils of his
final coup.
"Mr. Lanyard, promise"
Then reverently he bowed his head
and touched his lips to that hand-and
felt it snatched swiftly away, and start
ed back, aghast, the idyl roughly dlssi-
pated, the castle Of his, dreams tum-
bling in thunders round his ears.
In the studio skylight overhead a
pane of glass had fallen in with shat
tering crash ais ominous as the trump
OF doom.

Then only stand between you
and"

tested hastily. "Please don't run away
with any absurd notion like that. Do
you imagine I'd consent to treat with
such canaille under any circum-
stances?'
Cali the same" she contended stub
bornIy, I'm the stumbling block.
You're risking your life for me-"
"Well." he laughed, have it your
own way! But it's my life, isn't it?
I really don't see how you're going to
prevent my risking it for anything that
may seem to me worth the risk!"
But she wouldn't laugh; only her
countenance, suddenly bereft Of it's mu-
tinous expression, softened winningly
and her eyes grew very kind to him.
Gas long as it's understood under
stand-very WE'LL" she said quietly,
"I'll do as you wish, Mr.. Lanyard"

Leading her through the scullery, he

and tunnel-fike passageway that ran
off at right angles from the side Of the
house.

his left hand, pistol in right, Lanyard
stepped out into the darkness.
In two minutes he was back with a
look of relief.
