When all three finally mst Ht the
Hargreave home Pjorgeoe suddenly
took Jones by
ed him lightly on the cheek. Jones
started back, palo and dltturbed.
Norton laughed. He did not feel
the slightest twinge of jealousy, bot
ho was eaten up With envy, aa the old
wives say.
'Yon are wondering ii I suspect tbe
Priueery Perlgoff?" aald Jones.
"I ?<m." Thia man Jones waa. de
veloping into a very remarkable char
acter. The reporter found himself
side glanc* ng at the thin, beea face of
tuts resourceful butler. The lobe ot
the man's |efL ear came within r?nge.
Norton reached for a cigarette, but his
hands tOook ea be lit it. There waa

"Ot me?" smiling.
* 'Even of myself sometimes."

"Vou are. Out an agreement is an

thia story, I'll not. We newspaper

Jones held out his hand.
"Sometimes I wish I'd started life
right." said the reporter gloomily. "A
newspaper man Is generally Improvi
dent. He never looks ahead tor to
morrow. What with my special ar
ticles to the maga7'acB', I earn between
four and Ave thousand the year; and
I've uever been able to save a cent."
"Perhaps you've never really tried,"
repiled Jones .with a glance at his
companion. It was a good face, strong
in outline; a little careworn, pernaps,
but free from ?ny Indications of duri*,
potion. "If I had begun lite as you
did, I'd haye made real and solid use
of the grea* men I met I'd have
made financiers help me to Invest my
earnings, or ravings, little ?e they
might be. And today I'd be living on

"You never can tell. Perhapn s

of those things; but if you had re

thc thought of saving might nevei

"It might be the saving of you il
you met and married the right worn

"Bul the right woman might bi
heiress to nllHtons. And a poor devi
like me could not -nary a girt witt

"True. But there are always ex

Fourteen minut?e* hy the clock
brought the car to a stand at lae euro
a few houses below the Hargreave
home.. The men got out. The watcher
ran up.
"He ls still inside," he whispered.
"Oood. 8pread out. If snybody

runs too fast, shoot We can beat the

The men obeyed. ?nd the watch

perately hoping thc affair would ter
minate tonight. He wis growing
weary or thia eternal vigilance; sud
it was only his fear of the man known <
as the boss that kept him at his p-i#t,,j
He wanted a night to carouse in, to1
be with the boyH.
The mon for whom they were lay
ing i:i watt was seen presently to creep
caul lim: ly round the side of the house.
He hugged a corner and paused They
could see the dim outline of his body.
Thu light in the street back or the
grounds almost made a sllhousette of
him. By and by, aa If assured that
the coast was clear, he ttole down to
thc street.
"Halt!"
Instantly the prowler took to his
heels. The two shots rang out. The
man was seen to tvop, stagger, ana
then go on desperately.
"He's blt!"
f By tho time the men reached tue
corner they heard the rumble of
a motor. One dashed back to the car
they had left standing at the curb.
He made quick work of the joh. but i
he waa not quick enough. Still, tney
gavo chase. They saw thc car turn
toward the city. But, unfortunately
for the iaccees of the chase, several
automobiles passed, going imo town
and leaving it. Checkmate.
Bratne waa keen enough tonight.
' Ho ls hit," whether badly or not,
remains to be seen. We can find that
out Drive to the nearest drug store
and get a list of hospita!:', lt's ten
to one shot that' we land him some
where among the hospitals."
But they searched the hospitals in
vain. None o' them had that night re
ceived a shot u ? ca?.e, nor had they
heard one rep?, ned. Tho man had been
unmistakably hit He would not have
dared risk the loss of time for a 1
of play-acting,. Evidently he had kept
bis head and sought lodgings. To
call up doctors would be utter folly;
for It would take a week for a thor
ough combing. This was the second
time the man bad got away.
"Perhaps I'm to Hame," admitted
Draine, "I taould have advised Miels
to stalk him and pot bim If he got

or by the Lord Harry! I'll break the
four of you like pipe stems."
"We haven't had a failure yet," epoke
up one of the men, more courageous
than h lr,
"You are not holding up a bartk]
messenger this trip. Remember that.
Drive rae as far aa Columbus circlet
Leave, me on the ntde street, between
the lights, ra I caa take off this mask."'
Later ?raino sauntered Into Pabst
and ordered a light suppar. This
night's nick, more than anything else,
brought home to him the fact that
his luck waa chung'ng. Foi years
he bad proi-??*??u with '.?'.o shady "
cupationa w I Ul nu f encountering any
memorable failure. He moved in the
blgb world, quite unsuspected. He
had written booka given lectures, been
made a lion ot all the while laughing
In his sleeve at the gullibility of
human nature. But wtt.itn the. last
two weeks he hbo rrtt'.red sartas*}
checks. From now on he nm91 move
erith the utmost caution. Some one
aar playing hts own game, waging
warfare unseen. A battle of wits?
So be it; but Urn-no intended to play
with the rough wita, and he wasn't
going to care which way the sword

He hated Stanley Hargreave with
all the hatred of hts soul, the hatred
of a man balked In love And the]

"1 heard some noise, but I was so

'.'Yes, Miss Florence. The t-hots came

There are pi etty bad men abroad. Did

"Very much- But there were spots
of blood on "the walk near the corner."
"Blood?" Jones caught the back ol
a chair to steady himself.
"Yes. So some one was burt. O,

"Let us go back to Miss Farlows. You

"Miss Florence, If I thought lt wits,

"1 am very unhappy!" And Flor-|
ence threw her anns around Susan
and laid. her head upon her friend's
shoulder.
"Poor child!" Suuan. however, re-,
cognized the wisdom ot Jones* state
ments. Tliey were safest here
The morning rides' continued. To
the girl. Who loved the open, lt was
[glorious fun. Those ' mad gallop*
along tire roads, the ?mell of earth and
sea, the tingle In the blond, were the
I second best moments of her day. The
(tnt? She invariably blushed when she
I considered what these first best mn
?monta were. He was a brave young
man, good to look al, witty, and al
ways onecrful. Why shouldn't she
like him? Even Jones liked him
Jone?, who didn't seem to like any
body It did not matter whether it
was wise or not; a worldly point ot
view was fattiest from her youthful
thoughts, lt was her own affair; her
own heart.
Five days later, as she and the rid
ing master were cantering along tho
toad enjoying every blt of it, they
beard heard the heat ot hoofu behind,
'liiey drew up and turned. A rider
waa approaching, them at a run. It
waa the head groom. The man stop
ped bis horse in a cloud of dust.
.'Sir the stables are on fire!"
; "Fire?"
I All the riding master's savings were
invested in the stables. The fact that
?he h?d solemnly promised never to
I lea vo Florence alone, and that he had
accepted a generous bonus slipped
from hJr mind al the thought of fire,
a-terrible word to any horseman. He
I wheeled and star led off at breakneck
speed, hi? head groom"-.'clattering be
hind him.
I' Florcnco naturally wondered which
of two courses to pursue: follow them
or continue the ride and save at least
one horse from the terror of seeing
?flames. She chor J the latter. But ah?
did not ride with the earlier zest. She
felt depressed She loved horses, and
the thought of them dying in those
wooden i*abes waa horrifying.
' This fire" however, proved to be In
cipient. But il wa> plainly incen
diary. Some one had ?et fire to it
with a purpose in view. Norton re
cognised this fact almost as soon aa
the firemen. He bad come this morn
ing with the idea Ot au rp r bing Flor
eara He was going out on hom tack
td Jolts, her.
Ills ?pi?e suddenly cold. A II.tn!
She had been left alone on the loiui.
Me ran over to the garage, secured
a car, and went humming out toward
the river road. A trap, and only hy
the sheerest luck had he turned up
In time.
Meantime Florence was walking her
mount slowly. For once the cvenery
passed unobserved. She was deeply
engrossed with her thoughts, some of
which were happy ami some of which
were sad If only her father could
I be with her : lie would he the happiest
girl alive
She was brought out of her revcry
by the sight of a man rtnggcring along
the road ahead of her Finally he
plunged upon his face in the road.
Like the tender hearted girl she was
she stopped, dismounted, and ran lo
the fallen man to give him aid She
suddenly found her wrists clapped In
two hands like ison The man rose
hlB feet, smiling evilly. She struggled
wildly but futively
"Better be scnjible." he said. "I am
stronger than you are. And : don t
wish to hurt you. Walk on ahead
of me. It will ho utterly useless to
scream or cry out. You can see for
yourself that we are In a deserted part
of the road. If you will promise to
act sensibly I shun't lay a hana on
you. Do you see that hut -yonder,
near the fork in the road? We'll stop
there. Now, march!"
She dropped her handkerchief, later
her bracelet, and finally her crop. In
hope that these slight clews might
bring her help. She knew that Jones
would hear of the Are, and, Anding
that she hud not returned with tho
riding master, would immediately
start out in pursuit She was begin,
ning to grow very fond of Jones, wno
never rpoke unless spoken tn, who.
w. s always at hand, faithful and
loyal. *J,?ft
From afar came the low rumble of
a motor. She wondered if her cap
tor heard it.. He did, but his ears
tricked him into believing that it came
from another direction. Eventually
they arrived at the hut, and Florence
was forced to enter The man locked
the door and waited outside for the
automobile which '.ie was expecting
He was rather dumfounded when he
saw that it war coining from tlie city,
not going toward lt.
It was Norton. The riderless horse
told him enough; the handkerchief and
bracelet and crop led him straight for
the hut.
The man before the hut realized by
this' time that be had made a mis
I take. He attempted to reenter the hut
and prepare to defend it till his com
panions hove in sight But Florence,
recognized Norton, held the door with
ail her strength. The man snarled
and turn -d upon Norton, only to re
ceive a smashing blow on the jar;.
Norton flung upon the door. "Into
the car. Florence! There's another
car coming up the road. Hurry!"
It was not a long chase The car
of tho auto bandits, looking like an
ordinary tlxicab. was a high power
machine; and lt gained swiftly on
Norton's four-?yllnder. The reporter
waited grimly.,
"Koop your head down!" he warned
Florence. "I'm going to take a pot
st their tirer, when they get within
range. It 1 miar-, I'm atraid we'll
have trouble. Under no circumstan
ces attempt to leave this car. Here
they come!"
'He suddenly leaned back and fired.
It was only chance. The manner in
which the cara were lurching made a
poor target for a marksman even ot
the first order. Chance directed Nor.
ton's first bullet into the right for
ward tire, which exploded Going at
sixty-odd miles an hours, they could
not stop the car in time to avoid
fatality. The cur careened wildly,
I swerved, and plunged down the em
bankment Into the river.

[what he was doing Norton put hlB
