Inomas Archer was lowering on the

DOCTORS and nurses guarding the flick

mat his heart might be dashing itself
against that which could not be broken
without destroying the happiness of the

disenchantment induced by this percep-

struggled for a front place in the

The Man in Black

TT WAS after dark when the train
L bearing Herr windt and RenwIck
reached the Franz Josef station. the
stolen machine of Altensteig having been
left at Budweis with Hadwiger. who was
to return it to its owner and in the
name of the State to make proper
arrangements for compensation. Herr
Windt, sadder II no wiser took f1acre
and drove off hastily, leaving Renwick
to his own devices.
To the Englishman. Marishka's case
seemed desperate. for though the iden-
tity of the driver of the green limousine
was unknown, his cleverness in eluding
the net which Herr Windt had spread
for him indicated him to be an agent OF

a man that gives UP easily. In the back
of his head an idea persisted, and he
planned to follow Its development for
good or I'll to its conclusion.
| The correctness of his surmise as to
| the direction of Marlshka's flight in the
green limousine had convinced him that
Vienna was not her final destination.
He, too, took a fiacre and drove at once
to the apartment of Baroness Racowitz.
Marishka's guardian was away, but a
fee to the Austrian maid put him in
possession of the facts.
| "No, Herr Renwick," che replied.

The womans answer was a mournful
shake, of the head. "Ach!" she gut
turaled sadly, though with a look Of
pity almost in the troubled eyes she
lifted to the large face of Robinson. She
did not scruple even to tell him that
such union could not be, that It was
hopeless; but such manner was more
eloquent than words could have been,
and there was borne in upon Victor like
a chill the perception that not woman,
but a race, a history and one of the
worlds great religions were all shaking
their heads at his proposal
Yet when he turned and saw Sylvy
standing all by herself and so near
to him, with such gratitude and trust in
her face, he could hardly refrain from
| reaching out and seizing her and crying
you are mine, Sylvy, you are mine
In the face of everything you are mine -
He did refrain, however. for the habit
of self-control was strong in him. and
Sylvy gave him an impulsive and af-
fectionate little handclasp at the door
which was compensation for much.
Victor went back to the desk to find
his telephone ringing, and ten minutes
later was receiving the first Of series
of calls from reporters that continued
steadily at intervals for an hour and a
half.
