 clothed beautifully in white had run [ niadly from the church, met a young man at the gate, and with him had ] vanished in q taXicab whose chauf- | feur unquestiOnably placed little value i in his license.
 At twenty minutes past eight that ! taXicab. having eluded all attempts at ! pursuit eff any such there were) drew up before the apartment house in which Captain Parr Uaintained his New York home.
 A moment later the door of his quar- ters closed upon Patria Charming and the lover of her choice. "I thought you would never comel" she stammered.
 "I had to work very quietly" he ex- ! Plained. Tt was obvious from the first i that this arrangement couldn't con tinue-yOu couldn't go on hoodwinking Huroki and at the same time keep out of marrying de Lima. And when ] HurOsi found out that you had made fool of him, you would have to be mighty safely hidden to escape repri- sal. So 1 fixed things up for you here I've moved over tO the Vanderbilt got hold of Anne, sent her to the Ritz 1 with an order for your belongings-She ' was there within ten minutes of the time you left for the church-brought ] everything of yours here and I We'll. here we arei" But how did you ever find out de Lima had wife?"
 T didn't" Donald explained grave y. "She wasn't his wife"
 There came knock at the door.
 That's Ryley. Let him in. please, Anne. I left him to protect the wOm- an in case either Huroki or de Lima 1 became violent"
 The grin of the detective as he en- | tered was evidence of the fact that he had experienced no great trouble. There had been bit of rumpus, he repOrted-nOthing to speak of.
 His account was interrupted by the Shrill, imperative glamour of the tele- | phone. Donald answered. and sObered to sudden gravity as he carried on a brief conversation with Bertram in Powder Town.
 Trouble at Charming" he an- nounced as he hung up. "Betram says our man Barnes was shot in n street i fight this afternoon by some loafer who interrupted him when he was 'phOning me. In addition the town seems strike-mad all of sudden , agitatOrs, even now, are preaching strike and destruction of property. Bertram thinks we'd better run down and look the situation over for our selves. It may prove necessary 10 call on the governor for militia to protect the mills.'
 "Donald-please, am so afraid for you,'
 "I must go, dear-I must. You need not worry on my account-we've dozen men down there who will help Ryley take care of me. Not that l anticipate any serious trouble. The rabble have no excuse for rioting till the company refuses the strikers de- mands-and it cant do that till to- morrow"
 He found a timetable. scanned il rapidly, snatched up his hat.
 "With luck and a fast taxi-man We can just make the next train, the last tonight"
 The door banged; incredibly, Patria was alone-alOne, that is, except for Anne.
 She threw herself into chair, when she had suffered Anne to change her bridal garments for a negligee.
 Womanlike, she was stubbornly bent on spending a sleepless, wretched night In spite of herself, toward eleven o'clock, she nodded in her chair. then slept.
 It was two when the telephone aroused her.
 One of her force of private secret service agents was calling from Pow der Town for Captain ParE. in ignor- ance of the fact that, according to the timetable. and providing he had caught his train. Donald should have been there with Ryley for matter of three hours.
 In response to her catcchiSm the agent reported that the situation at ChanningS was one of imminent emer- gency. A strike had been called at | midnight; the employees of the pow ! der mills who had come of shift at l that hour had not been replaced; riot ] ing Was already in process; the gen eral store maintained by the company i had been burned and footed; the mob l was threatening to march upon the l mills.
