kendrick Drives.

ncnOrlCk DrlSes.
~ GNDRICK avoided the main
streets of Monte Carlo and at
N the western end of the town
loosed the great car. Beside
him Jules shivered and whimpered.
iendrick. hatless, in his evening
clothes, did not seem to feel the
-epearheads of the wind as they slipped
hack past the windshield, curled, and
shote at back and sides with the
cars rush.
kendrick had rough idea of the
fnad to Bareges, and of the great
distance the place lay from Monte
Carlo, and he wondered how Brunei
would accomplish it, with Elise in
captivity. twas. he estimated, be-
tween four and five hundred miles,
and of course, it could be done at
one stretch II only the car lasted
and its driver could endure the
strain. There was no such thing as
a, speed limit.
-, He snapped a question at Jules.
'Nhat car was Monsieur Brunei
driving"
- The Isotta Fraschini, monsieur"
THE inclosed one?'
Yes, monsieur.
And how long has he been gomez"
AN hour. monsieur"
Hendricks jaw frightened. All
things being equal, he could not hope
TO overtake him before the castle
was reached. He estimated that he
himself, unless he broke down, would
reach the Chateau Tortmain about
this same hour on the following
might.
.. Brunei, he conceived. would avoid
all towns and villages, but this did
not of necessity mean that he would
travel farther. That the ruffian knew
the country as he knew his own Pa
Tisian boulevards kendrick was GER
tain.
- CuriouSly enough, the usefulness of
the telephone and telegraph did not
enter his head. The crisis had strip
ped him of all the veneer of civili-
zation
OF that ride Jules ever afteward
had but the haZieSt memories. and
Were moments of sheer shrieking
Torment. Though Jules appreciated
1T not. kendrick handled her that
might like a racing crack breaking
6 worlds record for speed.
- kendrick said no word In the light
OF the dashllght Jules could see the
knuckles of his hands standing out
hard and white he gripped the
tugging, polished steering wheel. He
douched neither gear nor hand -brak e
through all the journey, and his only
movements were of hands and foot
ON the accelerator and that foot
brake.
The hours passed.

Tho evening was sliding down on
them. To their left front, rearing,
immense snovcaps turned to purple
and red, lay the Pyrenees, barricad-
Titan.
1t was tho last stage. Night was
, down on them.
The road was lifting now, lifting
and lifting. For the first time Ken
drick dropped gear.
Above them, high. like a star, a lit
tie twinkling light showed against
the blackness. Dim, before the CO.
bait, Kendrick had glimpse Of tur-
ret and tower.
Jules clutched his arm, croaking
hardly able to speak.

Mordac. He had insulted her-gross-

and Brunei rushed in-Brunel and
LolSette.
And the rest?
The road was coming swiftly to-
ward them. The big car seemed to
travel easily. 1t was broad daylight
and beautiful.

 All customs tariffs and taxes levied in connection with the utilization of the ports must be published before they are put into operation. A special clause reserves to each state the right to suspend the benefits of equal treat ment to the ship of any country which does not extend in its own ports the privileges outlined in the treaty.
 The second convention deals with the transmission of electric power and involves the granting of authority to stretch high tension cables across the territory of q state that derives no direct benefit therefrom. The third prepares the way for accords between states for the development and eNploi- tation of hydraulic forces on interna tional watercourses.

Geneva, Feb. 15.-Consul- general Haskell has sent to Washington copies of three conventions drawn up by the International Transport Conference. They have to do with international efforts to reach agreements on eompli- cated questions Of transport and com munication. The most important, from the standpoint of the United States, concerns the regulations of world ports. looking to the equitable treatment Of commerce from the point of view Of international traffic. It is not expected here that the United States will sign any of these conventions, but it is presumed there will be no disposition on the part of any signatory power to discriminate against the American flag. merely be- cause Washington may not feel in a
 position to adhere to the maritime ports treaty The maritime conven- ton text stfpuiatcs that every con tracting state shall assure to the ships of all others a treatment equal to that accorded to it's own merchant
