Suit-cafe in one hand, umbrella in the other, he sped along the corridor to the elevator shaft, arriving^tn time to catch a glimpse of the lighted roof of the cage sliding into the depths below. “Downf*' he shouted; but the glim mering cage disappeared, descending until darkness enveloped it. ' Then the young man jammed his hat on his head, seised the suit case and umbrella, and galloped down the steps. The spiral marble staircase echoed his clattering flight; scrub-women heard him coming and fled; he leh|»y] a pail of water and a mopgfseveral old gentlemen flattened themselves against the wall to give hiiii room; and a blond young person with pencils in her hair lisped “Gee!” as he whizzed past and plunged through the storm doors, which swung back, closing behind him with a hollow thwack. Oiltsid* in the darkness, gray with whirling snow-flakes, he saw the wot lamps of cabs shining; and he darted along the line of hansoms and eou|>es in frantic search.for his own. “Oh, there you are!” he panted, flinging his suit-case up to a snow- covered driver. “Do your best now; we’re late!” And he leaped into the dark coupe, slammed the door, and sank back on the cushions, turning up the collar of his heavy overcoat..* There was~a young lady in the farther corner of the cab, buried to her noserin a fur «;ont. At intervals she shivered and pressed a fluffy muff against 4 ’ her face,- A glimmer from the sleet smeared lamps fell across her knees. Down-town flow the cab, swaying around icy .corners, bumping over car- tracks, lurching, . rattling, jouncing, while ift silent .occupants, huddled in separate corners, brooded moodily at their respective windows. Snow blotted the glass, melting and running dowgi; and ov«*r the watery panes yellow light from the shop win dows played fantastically, distorting vision. Presently fhe young man pulled out his watch, tumbled for a match-box, struck a light,'ami groaned a* he read the time. At the sound of the match striking, ^the young lady turned her head. THt.cn, as the bright flame illuminated the young man’s face, she sat bold upright, dropping the muff to her lap with a cry of dismay-.. He locked up at her.

Copyright by R W Chambers \ “Please don!t open that door!” h e said. She tried to wrench^jt open; th£ handle stuck—or perhaps the strength had left her wrist. But it was not courage that failed, for she faced him, head held high, and— She looked him straight in the eyes, om^hand twisting at tfje knob. “Don’t you suppose that this mistake of mine is as humiliating ami unwel come to mo.as it is to you?” he said. “If .you stop this cab, it will ruin some body’s life. Not; mine—if it were my own life, 1 wouldn’t-hesitate.”. Her hand, still clasping the silver knob, suddenly fell limp. “Y'ou say that-you are in a,hurry?” she asked, with dry lips. “A desperate hurry,” he replied, “So am I,” she said bitterly; “and thanks to your stupidity, I must make the journey without niy brother!” There was a silefice, then she turned r . . toward him again*. “Where do you imagine this cab is going?” .* ■ “It's going to Cortlandt Street — .isn’t it?” Suddenly the recollection came to him that it was her cab, and that he hail only told the driver to. drive fast. . The color left his face as he pressed on her; he was at her mercy. But there was nothing viridictive in her. * ^ “1 also am going to Cortlandt Street; you need not be alarmed,'” she said. The color came back to his cheek*. “I suppose,” he ventured, “that, you iare tryiigx to catch the Kdcn Limited, as I rftn.”'^ 1 “Yes,” she said coldly; “my brother —"• An cxpA*s*ion of utter horror came into her face. “What on'earth shall 1 do?” slje cried, “my brother lue- my ticket and my purse!” A lunge and a bounce sent them into momentary collision; a flare of light from a ferry lantern flashed in their faces, the cab stnp|>ed ami a porter jerked open the door, crying:* J- •* *- “I den Limited? ''You’d better hurry- lad v They’re closin’ the gates, now.” They .sprang out into the storm, she refu-ing his guiding arm. “What am I to dp?” she said, des perately. “I must go <* that train, and 1 haven’t-a penny.” “-.It's all right; you’ll take my sister’s ticket,’', he said, hurriedly paying the cahlli:tu. v e A porter seized.their two valises from tlic I h»x and dashed towards the ferry- . • hou-e; they followed to the turnstile, where the tickets were clipped. “Now, we’ve got to run!” jie said. And off they sped,’ slipped through the closing gates, and ran for the gang plank, where their porter was making frantic signs for them to hasten. It wJbya close connection, but they made it, to the unfeigned amusenjent of the passengers on deck. • “Su-ay!” drawled a ferry-hand, giving • an extra twist to the wheel as the chains'" came clanking in, “she puts the bunch on the blink f’r a looker. Hey?” ‘ I’lenty,” said his comrade*, adding, after a moment’s weary deliberation, “She’s his tootsy-wootsy, sure. ! B. and G.” The t wo young people who had caught tin- boat at the last second, stood to gether. muffled, ttf the eyes, breathing rapidly. She was casting tragic glan ces astern, where, somewhere, behind the smother of snow, New York city lay, he, certain at last of his train, stood beside her, attempting to colleVt his thoughts and arrange them in some sort of logTcal'sequence. But the harder he thought, the mor$ illogical the entire episode appeared.^ How on earth hail he ever come to enter a stranger’s cab and drive with stranger half a mile before either discovered the situation? And what blind luck had sent the cab to the destination he also was bound for— and hot,a second to spare, either? He looked at her furtively; she stood J»y the rail, her fur coat white with snow. “The poor little thing!” he thought. And he said; “You need not worry about your section, you know. I have - my sister’s ticket for you.” ' After a moment’s gloomy retrospec tion, he added: “When your brother arrives to -knock my head off, I’m going to let him do it.” She made no comment. * , (Continued on Pape 8) NOj.27.

The removal of the Terry & Shai- fer store will remove one of tfie landamrks of the town.
