SIXTH EPISODE
"AIias Nemesis"
Rendezvous at Noon.

Superbly mounted though he was.
the horseman rode with slack rein and
specious air of aimlessness. Suffered
to select its own pace, his cob ambled
indolently through the avenues of New
port-town and out into the basking
countryside, choosing way along the
eastern shore, often within sight of
the Sakonnet river.
For the beauties of nature In general
Capt. Donald Parr cared no snap of his
fingers; his thoughts, like his heart,
were exclusively centered upon one
single beauty. His purposeless ges-
ture, his semblance of Indifference to
the flight of time, were alike mIslead-
ing; he had a most particular goal in
mind, and secretly was in the mad
dest haste to arrive at 1t. Lastly, his
interest in the charming views was
positively nil but his interest in max
ing certain that none followed him was
acute.
Had any one of his languid reviews
of the road he was travelling discov-
cred single sign of anything remote
ly resembling follower, Donald's ride
would have ended back in the summer
city by the sea without pause. As
it was, though well persuaded that
none spied upon him, he came to his
destination by most circuitous way,
doubling back on his path for the mat
ter of two miles before, while passing
a lonely patch of woodland between
road and river, he elected to disappear
A twitch at the rein with touch of
the spur swung his horse sharply
aside into an almost imperceptibly
marked path.
Winding tortuously through the for
est, the path presently debouched into
a little glade from which, through a
thinning growth of trees, the simmer
of sunlit waters was visible.
Here Captain Parr pulled up, dis
mounted, tethered his horse to sap
ling, and went on afoot. striding rap
idly toward the river, with a marked
manner of eager anxiety.
A turn in the path. rounding a thick
ct, brought him abruptly face to
face with the object at once of
his happiness and all his cares.
He stopped short.
"Patria /" he cried in voice vibrant
with the wonder that her loveliness
never failed to arouse.
AS she offered both hands to his
ardent clasp. her smile seemed trifie
wistful
"Don ~ she said. ''At lastl 1 knew
you wouldn't be late-but even when

TWO AND AN EXTRA.

Oddly enough, considering the anx-
iety on Donald PARIS behalf inspired
by the threats of Edouard, Patria slept
deep and dreamless sleep. and wax
ened so late that. by the time she had
taken her morning swim and dressed
and breakfasted, 1t was hard upon
noon.
As the hour of their daily rendezvous
approached, she founG it difficult to
contain her impatience, so impatient
was she 10 be reassured as to the
safety of her betrothed. Had Donald
been five minutes late he would have
found her half-hysterical with dread.
He was, however, trlfie earlier than
usual.
None the less, she was beforehand
with him In the glade. And the relief
with which she saw him riding, sound
and whole, to meet her, translated
itself into so violent seizure of
trembling that he could not have failed
to remark 1t.
He did not even wait to tether his
horse, but run to her the instant his
feet touched the earth, seIzing her
hands and drawing her to him.
"Patria what has happened3"
"No-nothing
"But you were never like this |!
You're quivering like frightened
child! Something must be the mat
teri"
"Only-only I have fretted SO for
fear of some accident to you, dear. l
am so glad to see you safel'
His arms closed round her; for lit
tie her face was hidden in his bosom.
Like a naughty child, she had feared
to own the truth about her overnight
adventure. But now the need of con-
fession was strong upon her.
From the haven of her lovers nrms
she stared thoughtfully Off into the for
est.
Something moved among the trees.
The head and shoulders of a man rose
slowly from cover of breast-bigh
growth of underbrush. Pntria looked
straight into the eyes of Edouard,
bloodshot In mask of features that
worked with rage.
She drew long breath. BY no other
sign did she betray the terror that as
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-07-27

courage from the silence, she ventured
to raise the window and step within.
But she had not gone two feet when,
without any warning, she was seized,
enfolded In the arms of hulking crea1
ture who had been spying upon her
from behind tree.
A villainous reek of alcoholic breath
half strangled the girl as her captor
bent his face toward hers.
"Got your' he muttered thickly.
"Got you, m lady, with the goods on

pretending you're what you amt, never
was. never Will be! Oh, I'm onto your
little game, Elaine. my beauty And
I'm in on 1t. or I'll squeal so loud you
can hear me in the Office of the prose-
cutin' attorney Stop strugglin' and
listen to reason, do you hear?"
In the bloated and congested fea-
lures of the drunkard Patria recog-
nized the man Edouard, the manager
of Elaine, who once before had mis-
taken her for his dancing woman-and
had suffered grievously at PARIS hands
in consequence of that mistake.
'Let me go I' she painted in loathing.
"Let me go, 1 sayl"
Fat chancel" he jeered. "But lis
ten, dearie-you don't have to be
afraid of me. All l want is a square
deal. and I won't hurt you. You only
got to quit trainin' with that guy,
Parr; I'm goln' to get hlm-get him
good"
He had unhappily struck the wrong
note. The hint Of peril to the man
she adored maddened Patria. She
fought like woman possessed, beat
ing Edouard's face with her small fists
till, in endeavorlng to catch and stay
her hands, he relaxed his embrace, and
she leaped back to freedom, then took
to her heels and ran as she had never
run before.
Accident more than design directed
her fight toward the cliff.
Three minutes more and Patria was
