'.Another hour! . . . In. sixty min uter, moro thoy will bo here, Judith j end Marrophat and Rose-poor fool! -and him! ... In sixty minutes moral they will put him down belora,me,| bound and helpless, if not dead A slight pause prefaced words that wore a whimpered prayer: "God send that he be not dead!

And then, when I have seen bim die as his father dlod-then-Ah,] Cod!-thon at last I too may die! There was a long silence then ni groan of exasperated protest: "Why] do thoy not come? Why does Judith de lay, when she knows how I suffer? Why have I been put off from day to day with her telegrams that begged for moro time and promised every thing-but told nothing!-until yester day . . . Where are those messages] abe sent mo yesterday?" His oho sound hand groped dut like a claw and sought a mass of papers on the desk besido him, sorting out from among them two yellow forms. Painfully he blinked over these andi id?.?-ly his pain-bent lips conned their| wording: " 'Alan - and Rose safe with me- j will bring both home tomorrow night without fail,'" ho read the first aloud;i and then tho second: 44'Have motor car walting for me tomorrow morning I from three o'clock till called for New | Bedford waterfront-Judith.'" "No!" ho affirmed with the fervor of one persuaded by his own desires: "I must not doubt tito girl! She has promised* she has performed." So still WP? he indeed ih~i \.~ seemed to sleep; but so deceptive waa that semblance that he was alert for the least sound. The girl entered soft ly, as if fearful of disturbing his slum bers; but-she found him with head croct and eyes. a-blake. "Judith!" he nio?, hie great voice vibrating Uko a brazen hell. "At last! where ls he? You have brought him? Whore 1B ho?" Wltlh no mora answer than a sigh, tho girl il rooper her head and let hor hands hong limply With palma ex posed.

Ho snapped her short: "You cannot ozplain. Tno tilling is impossible, that you she aid bave failed. There is some thing, oencath this, something you will not toll me." His hand sought thc row of buttons on tho desk and prossed ono long. Almost instantly a servant glide? noiselessly into othe room. "My daughter Rose-have her brought here to me at once!" In another moment the replica of his daughter Judith was ushered into his presence. Upon this one he loosed the light nings of his wrath without ruth. Rose suffered him in si lonco. His most galling recrimination educed to retort from thia ono. In a lull in Trine's tirade, Judith chose- to Interject: "Don't be so bard on the silly fool; she's not responsi ble', she's sick with love for that good looking simpleton!" "And you!" Rose turned on her pas sionately-"what about you? If I lovo Alan Law, at least.I love him openly I'm not ashamed io own it-and 1 don't pursue bim, as you do. pretend ing I mean to sacrifico him to a wick ed family feud, and then spare him every timo I meet him. to lead him to believe I haven't the heart to injure him-as you do, hoping so to work upon his sympathies and earn a kindly word and a pat on the head from his hand!" Fiercely she leveled a denunciatory arm at her sister. "There!" she cried to her father-"If you need to know-r tbore stands the c^ughtor who has be trayed your faith-as I havo not, who have never oven pretended to approve your villainy!" "I think," Trine announced in voice of ice-"I have learned now what I needod to know." His fingers sought the row of but tons; and when a servant responded he inquired: "Mr. Marrophat has returned?" "Ho is in tho waiting room, sir?" "Conduct Miss Judith to him and 'lei him I hold him personally responsible for her safekeeping. He will under stand." And for a long time thereafter the father, alone with tho daughter who had been estranged from bim. since birth by ove ry instinct of her nature, essayed in vain to break down bor mutinous silence. At last Trihi? aummonod two of hie creatures and had her led weeping from tho roof to be hold prisoner in hor bedchamber on tho topmost floor of tho house. II-A SPORTING OFFER. Some two hours later, that sanio evening, Mr. Alan Law, very much alive and, in spite of a complete new outfit of ready-made clothing, looking much more like himself than he had in a fortnight, issued forth from thc i Grand Central station, hailed a taxi I Cou, ?mil hail ?i??o?i? CU?Y?yM to ?he I Hotel Monolith. But if ho looked his proper self once moro, it speedily was demon strated that his wish was otherwise; for after learning from the room-clerk of the Monolith that a suite was being i hold in tho name of Arthur Lawrence, I that was the name Mr. Law inscribed on tho register. On tho other hand, it was his true name that ho gave to the person whom ho called upon the telephone imme diately after being shown to his rooms. Dut then ho was speaking to his old friend and man of I illness, Mr. Dig by. ft Within another ten minutes this last was in conferonco with bis era* j ployer. "I think you, must bo out of your head," Digby insisted nervously, ouco their first grootlngs were over. "You bushels Harte roft Prolific] .00 Der bushel. Special Gins, we buv at a j aple cotton?.

Alan laughed. "Re member this is New York-not the backwoods of Maine!" . Alan paused and smote bis palm with a remorseful fist. "By the Eeter n?l, I'm forgetting Barcus!" "Bereue?" "Chap whose boat I chartered in Portland-sheer luck oo_my part; he's ene of the salt of the earth. First, something must be done for the boy. You've got influence of some sort in NeW Bedford, surely?" Digby reflected: "Some. There's George Blaine, justice ot the peace-" "The very man. Telegraph him in Barcus' interests immediately." And telegraph Barcus as well-send him a hundred for expenses and tell him to join me here in New York as quick BB lio can!" : "Your friend's address?" Digby in quired, mildly ironic as ho sat down at the desk and fumbled with the sup ply of stationery. , "New Bedford jail, of course!" Alon chuckled-but cut his laugh In two as something fluttered from tho pack of envelopes which Digby had disturbed and fell to the floor between tho two men. . I Face up, lt grinned sardonic mock ery of Alan's confidence: it was a Trey of HeariB. With an ashen face and a trembling hand, Digby stooped to pick the damn ed thing, up; but Alan was beforehand with him, and got his fingers first upon the card. "Now will you believe?" Digby de manded ' huskily. ? "In what? A simple coincidence?" Alan flouted. "Not I* Who knows I'm ih New York-or that the Arthur Lawrence for whom your agent en gaged these rooms was Alan Law. No, ray friend: It's a bit too'thick for me. Take my word for lt, Jhis ls nothing moro nor less than a pouvenlr of a pok?r-party hold by yesterday's ten ant ot this suite." T "Perhaps-perhaps!" Digby assent ed stroking tremulous lips. "But I'm afraid for. you, my boy!. Who knows that Trine'a spies were not watching my man when he made this reserva tion? W,ho knows but that Arthur Lawrence was too thin a disguise for Alan Lfiw? t tell you, I'm frightened to the marrow of'my old bones! Do me this favor at least, .my boy; now that you've been, warned, whether by ac cident or design"-we won't argue that '--do leavo town-go Incognito to some quiet place near by and walt there for tito sailing ot' the next transatlantic steamer. Oh, surely you can't deny me this ono. Wish of my fond old heart, my boy!'' With a gesture of unfeigned affec tion Alan dropped a hand on Digby's shoulder. "Thore's nothing on earth I would not do fa;* yon," ho said: "you've been a fattie- and a mother to me ever since I can remember, even if we were sep arated, most ot tho time, by threo thousand miles Of salt water. But this thing-I cant do lt, even for you. I oant do it oren fer myself.

I won't go a. .d I can't go until I find her and take her with mo. And that is final." "Thea," 'Digby struck tn, grasping wildly at a straw of hope, "I have your word you'll go, providing I find and restore Rose to you?" . .'Youhave my word to that, unques tionably Bring Rose to me, and I'll gladly ?hake the dust ot New York from my shoes, and never return till Trino is put away comfortably In his grave." "It shall be dono," Digby promised. "It must!" "You believe that?" "in twelve hours Rose shall be re stored-tb you." "Will you make a book on lt? I'll bet you something handsome-and hope I lo^o into tho bargain. If yon" believe you can 'earry ont yow promise, wiro thc White Star line to reservo the best available suite on the Oceanic sailing tomorrow morning at ten-and make arrangements for e marriage boforo the boat Balla!" "I'll g? you." Digby agreed; "and if I fall, I forfeit the cost of the reser vation. Bbl about thia marriage-" He hesitated. "Youll have to have a license in this state-and can't get ono except by ap plying ia person with your bride-to be. There won't be time-" "Then well marry in Jersey!" Alan Insisted. "Dig up some clergyman over there, if you don't > know one your self-" . "Oh. Tm well acquainted with the very, mah!" III-THE TIME O' NIGHT.

It was about one in tho morning when ho arrived Inconspicuously ?but not so much so aa to seem deserving of police Burvellance) In the neighbor hood of tho Riverside drive home of his mortal enemy, a grim whlto house that towered, stark and tall, upon a corner. Ills preliminary rcconnalsanco pro vided little more than comfortless ex ?erclsc. Hugo, still, its wall bathed in [the milk and Ink of moonlight and shadow, all its windows dark but one i-and that ono, in tho topmost tier, showed only a feeblo glimmer, so I slight that Alan almost overlooked it. But once discovered, it focused upon itself hts thoughts with a power lit tle less than hypnotic. Ho believed with small doubt that Rose was a prisoner within those ; walls; that Judith must have convey ed ber there with all speed. And, tills being tho presumptive case, that small, high window of the iight might well be hers. Directly across thc street from the Trine residence, on the opposite cor ?cr, a colossal apartment structure stood half-finished, stonework to tts I second story, gaunt iron skeleton I rearing above. j > To his infinite disgust, Alan found tho guardian very wide awake, very much on tho Job ; no chance here to I steal unseen Into the building. I This in itself might have boon deem ed a suspicious circumstance; not for nothing docs an honest night watch man so deny the laws of nature and [tho tenets of his craft. But Alan mere ly praised tho man while cursing the ?very fact of his existence; and, ac costing, overcame wtth bank-notes what seemed an uncommonly stubborn reluctance, and got lils way. . He could not that another skulked behind a barrier of lime barrels and overheard all that passed and. when Alan had ducked smartly Into tho un finished building, rose and stile after [him with footsteps as noiseless as a jest's and a face that had the savagery o? a tigo-'a when lt was transiently he kept his eyes level: and renewed relieved in a shaft of moonlight. . At length Alan gained the grid iron of girders on a plano with the lighted windows across the way, and crept along one of-these, gingerly on his hands and knees, until be came to ita end and might, if ho cared to, look down a hundred feet to the aide walka. That-view, however, did not tempt; he kept his eyes on a level; and was reworded witha base glimpse of a prettily-draped wail; framed in the lace of half-drawn curtains. And of a sudden-whether through (fortuity, or instinct, or the phycolog ical attraction of his steadfast con centration- the tenant ot the room came to tho window and stood there for a Utile, looking pensively out. altogether unconscious of the watch er In his aerial coign. Again a horroble' uncertainty bar rasse* him. Was tho'woman Rose or Judith? That she was one of these he could ji?uiniy soo. KUI wmen ? Dared ho assume his hopes fulfilled? With difficulty ho detached his hun gry vision from her, and . drawing rrom bia pocket a small notebook, tore out a t-lank page, placed this flat on the fcirder, fouud a pencil and with ?tho assistance of a ray or two of ! moonlight scrawled a message of ol I most 'Stenographic brevity. Whon he looked up from this lack, she-had vanished. Sitting up, astride tho girder, he took his watch-a cheap affair he had picked up when reclothtag himself tn tho sarments of civilised society, at Providence, that morning -opening tho back of the case, -and closed it (ion the folded message. Then drawing back hie arm, he breathed a silent prayer to the god Of all true lovers, and cast lt from him with all his might-with euch a I force that lt almost unseated him at the end of the swing. But nothing less .would have served to bridge thai yawning chasm. "a".*,* And the watch flew straight and [true, squarely through the lighted I window and to the further wall. Ia that very instant of his exulta tion over aa obstacle,-he heard ?'*! ?sound behind him of heavy breathing. The assassin had come that close I upon his prey when Alan terned and I discovered, bis peril. The same moonbeam'which had aid ed Alan in th? composition ot his mcssago struck across the other'i face, and showed lt like a hideout Chinese mask of deadly hatred, with its eyeballs glaring, and its Upe drawn back from the naked blade grtppec between ita teeth- stilletco nothini short of a loot In length. With a sharp, startled movement Alan swung himself bodily about, sc that, seated again astride the girder ho faced the assassin. But even how ho was in little 01 no better 'case than before. If h< faced- the thug, he faced, hun with nt arms other than his bare hands. H? had not oreti a pen-knife in hts pock ?uti itlil'"lliWLA?t*--1^**^^ ject to withdiawaTwith 5 WILL TAKE CO ther, we will hold cotte ?f it. j* With a low cry of desperation Alan snatched off IIIB hat, a soft and shape less felt affair, and flung lt squarely in the fellow's face. Before he ccu ld recover- before, that 1s, 1*. dropped away and cleared his vision, Alan IKMI bent forward and grasped thc w!?i of the hand that held the knife. He snatched simultaneously at the other hand, but lt eluded him. Immediately tho two became engag ed in a furious contest for possession of the stiletto. Alan had this advantage, as long as the knife might not strike that his right arm was free, while the assas sin hand only his left With this he strove persistently to reach his knife band and possess himself of the wea pon. As persistently Alan foiled his purpose by dragging the knife hand toward him and swinging it far to one side. At the same timo he struck re peatedly with bis clenched fist at the other's face. His blows did little dam ago beyond disconcerting the other; but this proved a very considerable factor ic the duel. In the end, they served together with that steady, re sistless downward and outward drag, to break the grip of the man's legs. Abruptly he pitched forward on his face along the girder, kicking wildly, grasping at the air. Tho stiletto fell from an instinctively relaxed grasp, And before Alan could release his hold or ease the strain upon the right arm ", assassin thu, 'asl had slipped bodily from the girder and hung help less in space, dangling at tho end oi Alan's arm- with no more than the grip of five fingers between him and death. The shock of that unpresaged tura brought Alon forward and flat on his stomach. And the strain on his left arm was tenifflc. He doubted if he could maintain it .'or another minute. Nor was there a'.ry reason why he should retain lt. lita end he had de signed for his victim was merely his Just deserts. And yet Alan could not let him go 'Thr>.? tho battle began anew- but now it was a battle with a man half cfaeed with fright and struggling so so madly that he well nigh fraustrat ed the efforts of his rescuer. In tho upshot thc assassin lay like a limp rag across tho girder, head and arms dangling on one side, legs and feet on thc other, spent with hiB terriffic exertion and physically sick with terror. And in this Ht ate Alan left him; he had done enough; let the man shift for himself from this time on. IV-CHANGELING. In the vague, chill gray of that dull and desolate dawn. Judith stirred ab ruptly 'On ' tho couch of ' a sleepless night, and with thc rapidity of one ..viio has arrived at a settled purpose ofter a long period of doubt and per plexity, rose and bathed and dressed herself in nebligeo. In the adjoining room she could hear small, stealthy noises- the sounds made by her Bister moving about and preparing against the un guessable movement when her res cue would be attempted, according to the information conveyed in that mid night message. iw- chance had conspired with her insomnia to station Judith in tho ie ;G?U of , her darkened window, idly /lowing the gaunt framework of tho tunniahed building irom an angie .yhich, when Alan edged out along ho girder, showed him plainly in ail touettc against the sky. In Judith's eyes his Identity was inmlstakable. She had seen him throw the watch ?nd had hoard the double thump of its Impact with the wall and floor of Rose's bedchamber. And she had witnessed with wild ly beating hart that dael In the air able to surmise its outcome-only from thc fact that the victor spared tho Ufo of tho vanquished. The clock was striking six as she loft her room: across the street work men were streaming into the building to bagin Gae labors of the day. Brushing unceremoniously past the drowsy and indifferent guard in thc corridor outside the door to Rose'? room. Judith turned the kay that re mained in the lock on the outside, re moved it, entered, and locked Ute door behind her. Without any surprise she found hoi sister already dressed to the point ci ' donning her outer garments. Maddened, half frantic by thia un expected interruption, threatening ai lt did thc pertloous scheme that Alar . had proposed, Rose greeted ber slstei i with a countenance at once aghast one i wrathful. i "I taoist that yon leave this roon i at oncel" , "Insist by all meena-and be dam I ned!

Rose shrnnl ) back from this strange, wild thin , that wore the shape and semblance o: herself. "What do you mean? You cann o i mean to murder me In cold blood. Ju , dlth?" i "Not I!"

Crossing to a table,I Judith took up a glana from a tray that held a silver water pitcher, and j returned with it to the table that oc cupied tho middle of the floor. At the same time she opened a hand till then fast clenched and disclosed a small blue bottle with a red label shrieking the warning "POISON!" "Strychnine," she explained com- I posed ly, "in solution." And emptied j the bottle into the glass. A measure ot courage returned toi Rose. "Do you expect to be able to make me drink that?" she demanded contemptuously. "Not I- but Destiny. If lt will! Seel here." From a pocket of her dressing gown Judith. produced a sealed deck of playing cards. "Let these declare ! tho will of destiny toward us. I will j break the seal, shuffle the cards, and j deal," she explained, suiting the ac tion to word. "The one who gets the j Trey of Hearts will drain that glass, j Is it a bargain?" "Nevor!

"Don't I beg of you- I didn't mean lt- I take back my concent-" "Too late!" said Judith, lifting the glass and eyeing ita contents with a strange smile. "Judith! you cannot mean to drink ur "Can't I, though?" the other laugh ed mirthlessly: '*Juat watch nie!"
