I. fathered from what he hnd said that the possession of Jacqueline was vitally important both to Leroux and to Tom Carson and that they had en deavored to kidnap her and hold her ttU the man Louis arrived to advise them. * "Bow much do you know?" hissed Simon at me. “leroux,” I said. “I'm not going .to tell yoa anything. You will remember that I waa employed by Mr. (’arson." “By P he swore, "ain’t 1 as food as Carson? What are you going to do with her?" “You’d better go hack to the office and wait, unlesa you want ,to spoil the fame by letting her see you," I said. “I don't know whether Tom’s run ning straight or not.” he said huskily; “but let me tell you, young man, It’ll pay you to keep In with me, and If you’ve got auy price name It!” He shook his heavy (1st over me—I believe the clerks thought he was go ing to strike me, for they came hur rying toward us. But I saw Jacque line approaching, and, without another word, Leroux turned away. Jacqueline caught sight bf his re treating figure and her eyes widened. I thought I saw u shadow of fear In them. Then the memory was effaced and the was smiling again. I-Instructed the store to call-a meb- aenger and hare the suitcase taken ut once to the baggage room In the Grand Central station. "Now Jacqueline, I'm going to-take .you to lunch." I said. "And afterward we will start for home." Outside the store I looked carefully around and espied Leroux almost Im mediately, lighting a cigar l|) the door way of a shop. 1 hit upon a rather daring plan to escape him. # Carson's office wore tn n inrge mod ern building, with many elevators and entrance*.- I walked Toward It with Jacqueline, being sutlslied tliut Leroux was following us; eutered about twenty-five yards before him. and ascended to the elevator, getting off, however, on the floor above that on which the offices were. I was satisfied that Leroux would follow me a minute Inter, under the Impression that we had gone to Car- son’s office, and~~So>wfter waiting a minute or (wo, I .took JacquPttne-down In another elevator, and \ye escaped through the front entrancejind Juirtped Into u taxicab. I was satisfied that I hnd thrown Leroux ’off the scent, hut I took the precaution to stop at a gurtsmfth’s shop and purchase a pair of automatic pistols,and .a hundred cartridges. Ruf-I. was very uneasy until we found ourselves In the train. At last- everything was accomplished—our bag gage upon the soots beside us and our berths secured. And then, at the very moment when the'whrets began to tp- volve, Leroux stepped down from a neighbor! .ig train. As he passed our window he espied us. «” He started and glared, and thenJifi. came racing back toward us. shaking bis fists and yelling vile expletives. He tried to swing himself aboard In hi* ftffy, despite the fact that the doors wera rfll Shnt. A porter pushed him back, and the last I Raw of him he was atlll pursuing us, screaming with rage. I knew that he would follow on the next train, reaching Quebec about five the following afternoon. That gave us flee boors’ grace. I turned toward Jacqueline, fearful that she bad recognized the man «nd realized the situation. Rut she was sntffng happily at my aide, and l waa confident then that, by virtue of that same mental Inhibition, she had nei ther wen nor beard the feflow New Tort wu slipping away. AH aid life was dipping away Uke evil throwing si I I I opened one of the newspapers that I hnd bought at the statloo-book stand, dreading to find In flaring let ters the headlines announcing the dis covery of the body." ; I found the announcement—but In small type.

She was asleep at my Ride and her head .dropped on my shoulder. We sat thus all the afternoon, while the city dis appeared behind us, and we passed through Connecticut and approached the Vermont hills. Then, we had a gay little supper lq the dining car. Afterward I walked to the car entrance and flung the bro ken dog collar awriy—across the fields.

The very obvious decision at which I arrived after a night of cogitation In my berth was that Jacqueline waa .to pass as my sister.
