I remembered now that, after sending Jacqueline to the clerk's desk Iohe, she had gone to a side entrance nd I had Joined her there and left the hotel with her in that fashion. I gathered from what he had said that the possession of Jacqueline was ltally Important both to Leroux and to Tom Corson and that they had endeavored to kidnap her and hold her till the man Louis arrived to advise them. "How much do you know?" hissed Blmon at me. "Leroux," I said, *Tm not going to tqll you anything. You will remember that I was employed by Mr. Carson." "By ?I" he swore, "ain't I as good as Carson? What are you going to do with her?" "You'd better go back-to the office nd wait, unless you want to spoil the game by letting her see you," I said. "I don't know whether Tom's running straight or not," he said huskUy; "hut let me tell you, young man, it'll pay you to keep In. with me, and If . . . ydu'vegot any price name It!" He shook his heavy fist over me?I V - ? : v... helleve the clerks thought he was goteg to strike uie, for they came hurvytag toward, us.

"And afterward we will start for home." Outside the store I looked carefully round and espied Leroux almost Immediately, lighting a cigar In the doorway of a shop. I hit upon a rather daring plan to escape him. ^Carson's offices were in a large mod?ni building, with many elevators and entrances. I wulked toward It with Jacqueline, being satisfied that Leroux was following us; entered about twenty-five yards before him, and ascended to the elevator, getting off, lo.wever, on the floor above that on which the office? were. . I was satisfied that Leroux would ' follow , me a minute later, under the Impression, that we had gone to Carton's office, and so, after waiting a minute or two, I took Jacqueline down hi another elevator, and we escaped through the front entrance and Jumped Into a taxlcab. I was satisfied that I had thrown Leroux off the' scent, but I took tjie precaution to stop at a gunsmith's nop ana purcnnse a pair 01 automatic pistols and a hundred cartridges. But I was very uneasy until we found ourselve# In the train. At last everything was accomplished?our baggage upon the soots beside us and our berths secured. And then, at the very moment when the wheels began to revolve, Leroux stepped down from n neighboring train. As he, passed our window he espied us. He started and glared, and then he ewuie racing back toward us. shaking his fists and yeMIng vile expletk cs. He tried to swing himself aboard In his fury, despite the fact that the doors were all shut. A porter pushed hln hack, and the last I saw of him ne ' was still pursuing us. screaming with *?ge. 1 knew that ho would follow on the m<cxt train, reaching Quebec about five the following afternoon. That gave us * i*e hours' grace. I turned toward Jocqtiellne, fearful that she had recognized the man and realized the situation. But she was smiling happily at my side, and I was confident then/that, by virtue of that vme mental inhibition, she had neither seen nor heard the fellow. New York was slipping awny.

She was asleep at my side and her head dropped on iny shoulder. We sat thus nil the afternoon, while the city disappeared behind us, and we passed through Connecticut and approached the Vermont hills. Then we had'a gay little supper In the dining car. Afterward I walked to the car entrance and flung the broken dog collar away?across the fields. That wns the last link that bound us to the past I CHAPTER V. i t i M. Le Cure. The very obvious decision at which I arrived nfter a night of cogitutlon In my berth was that Jacqueline was to pass as my sister. I explained my plan to her at breakfast "You see, Jacqueline," I explained. "It will look strange our traveling together, unless some close relationship is supposed to exist between us. It might subject you to embarrassment? so I shall call you my sister. Miss Hewlett and yop will call me your brother Paul." And I handed her my visiting card, because she hud never heard my surname before! "I shall be glad to think of you as ray brother Paul," she answered, looking at the carta. She held It- In hy... wm ?
