yet! Surely you can see they

their power? At any cost you
must be free Of debt to them!
Here at least il something can
do for you." He changed color
as he spoke, and his words
faltered. Miss Joan-you must
let me pay off this debt. There
is not the slightest difficulty
about it. Repay it whenever you
please. but you must not re-
fuse!'
Joan's face slowly tinged with
pink. She looked him in the
eyes.
"I cannot thank you enough"
she said, ''but--this is utterly i'm
possible-utterly."

Philip looked at her with ex-

rose. "And now I must go.

ed and walked home TO the
Temple. choosing the longer route
down the Strand and Fleet street.
. He was unconscious Of a tall
shadow that dogged him some hun
dred yards behind, walking as
noiselessly as II shod with rubber
shoes. Mottisfont's head was busy
with a score of mingled thoughts
as he turned into the passage
leading to the gardens.
"She cares a little," he unused
Does she care? What a strange
turn Of fate. I. the man who
could not afford to marry-to
whom ambition and a high career
were all in all. And the girl I
love is rich-soon a power In the
land. Yesterday believed her as
much below me as now she Is
above me. And yet"
He was clearing the end Of the
passage when out of the gloom
beyond three dark figures sprang
at him like beasts Of prey, sill
entity, and with deadly intent.
Quick as a cat, Mottisfont leap
ed back and lashed out with his
left, sending one Of his assailants
staggering. But the other two
were upon him; a heavy instru-
ment grazed his head as he duck
ed, bringing a flash Of stars before
his eyes and descending with
crushing force upon his shoulder.
He .reeled and fell, conscious in
that brief second that the third
man was aiming a murderous
blow at him with a short club.
After that Philip had only the
vaguest notion of what happened.
He was lying against the wall,
sick and dizzy; it seemed as II that
savage stroke had not reached
him, yet all about him were
sounds Of strife, Something,
whether man or devil, had plowei
into the fray like a whirlwind.
There were oaths, a choking cry,
a dull crack Of breaking bone, and
the thud Of fall. Feebly Motifs
font drew out a police whistle
that he always carried and blew It
with all the strength left In him.

lank shadow, vanished silently and
with amazing speed as the souni
of heavy running feet echoed In
the passage. A constable arrived
breathless and flashed his lamp
over three prone figures, Of which
Philip was the only one that
moved.
