the darkness secured me, the cool night

mind.
A furlong before I reached the place,

heard the Alsatian coming a min

For a moment my heart stood still,
and then saw that If Helena was not

him from his duty to Godfrey into a
service he knew.
He found me seated little way up
the track.
In flash I had him by the collar
and had flung an arm around his neck.

slip.
The position was this. wished to
alight as close as could to Yorick, yet
aot at the castle gate. Some spot in
The entrance drive would have suited
my purpose WELL It had been arranged,
however, that the last three miles
should be covered as fast as ever they
could Unless, therefore, left the car
before we approached the mouth of the
entrance drive, should have to wait
until we had crossed the drawbridge,
and that would be the end of my effort,
for 1 should be seen retreating and
Geoffrey and Barley would follow and
spoil my game. 1t looked as though 1
should have to enter the castle and
leave by some window or other as Pha-
,aoh had done. But then there was al
ways the drawbridge, flooded with
ight. -.
Happening to glance at the mirror
the car was closed-I noticed the
great Alsatian couched on the hinder
seat. 1t occurred to me that the dog
was there to watch me. Ny decision to
cneat this surveillance hardened into
stony and vicious resolve.
One thing was in my favor-dusk
had come in. And since Helena was
not Fastening, night would have fallen
by the time we came to the drive. So
my cousin had ordered, for though 1
think we all knew that the risk of en-
countering Pharaoh was very slight, it
was Helena's presence that hoisted the
flag of peril and made it essential that
we should omit no endeavor to keep
her person safe.
Again, it would have been worse to
have been in the leading car. The net
might have been drawn rather tighter
but that was all. My chances seemed
desperately thin. -.
In this state of mind spent the next
fifty minutes, smarting. And then at
last, mile from the entrance drive,
the tail-light bore to the right and the
coupe slowed down and stopped by the
side of the way.
At once we did the same-and, some
how or other, I felt that my chance
had come.
"I'll see what they want" I said, and
slipped out Of the car.
AS came to the door of the coupe
Look here, my son." said Godfrey,
LADY Helena wants you to lead. I
don't think it really matters, and so I
have given way. From now on put
down your foot and don't take it up
again till you're over the bridge"
Whatever happens" said Helena.
My blood was boiling.
SIS that an order?" said.
"You gave it that name," said Geof-
frey. "But we're going to do the
same"
"All right" said. II don't care"
made my way back to Barley and
opened my door.
"I've got to leave you," said. "They
want me to ride with them. You're to
go first now and don't lift your foot
till you get to the castle gate. You'll
be keeping them back as it is, for the
coupe's the faster car"
every good, SIR" said Barley.
slammed the door and stood back
and he let in his clutch.
AS the car leapt forward, I fell on
my face in the road.
watched him pass the coupe-and,
a moment later, the coupe draw into
his wake
In savage triumph I watched its
tail-light diminish. Then the road bent
round to the left and it flicked out of
sight.
