MOCK ROSE
SYNOPSIS-The 8 of Hearts.is the
"death-slgu" employed by Seneca
Trine in the private war of vengeance
which, through the agency of his
daughter Judith, a woman of violent
passions like his own, who was inno
cently responsible for the accident,
which rendered Trine a helpless crip
ple for Ufo.Ainu is in love with Rose,
j mi? d's twin and double, though lo all
else her opposite. Judith vows to com
pass Alan's death, but he saves her life
under dramatic circumstances and so,
unwittingly and unwillingly? wins her
love. Thereafter Judith is by turns an
imated by tho old hatred, the new love,
and jealousy of Rose.
I-MAKE-BELIEVE.
For upwards of three-quarters of an
hour of that golden morning which
followed the night of his return to New
York, Mr. Law was permitted to es
te ?rn himself the happiest of mortals.
Tho beginning of the period was
cynchronous with the slam of a taxi
cab door that shut away a superflu
ous v. jrld from tho company of two
y/bo loved, .
That Bound spelled safety as well aa
success In Alan's understanding. Fur
thermore, it proved a signal for tho
taxi-moot or to chant the " opening
measures of a song of a single sweet
tempered *.H)te.
TJ this the car slipped smoothly
away from the curb, pursued only by
a little gust of seml-irontc cheors from
the little company of working m*n who
had witnessed aa well as measurably
participated in the putative elopoment
from the house of Trine.
Vigilant for any indication that their
evasion; had had a witness in that
strange home of deathless hp*<-eJ, Alun
watched it through the lit ndow
In the back of the cab unti j corner
-blotted out the vision of it; then with
a sigh of relief sank down by the side1
of the woman to whom his every
thought, Impulse and emotion were
dedicated.
"Rose! " ho whispered, and tenta
tively touched one of the hands that
-lay clenched In her lap.

to ind?cate consciousness either of his
touch or hie whisper.
And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had Just passed,
Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds of reaction, and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise;
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that ho hod won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than a short hours' drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should provo the consummation of all
their tr Iain. . . . Barring accident!
Alan hod too often suffered the
penalty of disappointment for over-in
dulgence in this falling of his Xor de
preciating the unforeseen, not to make
the mental reservation, "Barring acci
dents!" with a little shiver of dread.
Had any of Trine's household been
cognizant of his daughter's escape.
Alan argued, interference must have
been instant.
Despite the reassuring aspect, the
preoccupation of his companion so
wore upon him that he was presently
no longer able to refrain from disturb
ing her.
"Rose!" he begged again, closing a
hand tenderly over hers. "Dearest
girl, dont worry another instant. Do
calm yourself; remember wo are same
now; wo fooled them handily-thanks
to your faith and bravery, sweet
heart! and everything ls going to be
well with us from aow on. Over in
Jersey the minister is waltiag now
to marry ns; and down at tho White
Star dooli thu boat is waiting that is
to carry us off to England the moment
we're married. Think of that-and that
I love, you. Nothing can possibly break
the strength of that combination."
"Alan!" she breathed gently. "It
can't be true! I'm trying so hard "to
believe-but all the while I know it
can't be true!"
He converted a skeptic with the
mute eloquence of his lips. . . .
Head upon his shoulder, the girl
clung passionately to him. "Tell me
again that you love me!" she prayed.
"Promise me you'll never, let anything
come between us. Promise rae, Alan
promise me you'll he kind to me al
ways, dear-"
"Gan you doubt I will be kind?" he
murmured reproachfully.
"I am afraid . . ." she whispered.
"How could I bo anything else, lov
ing yon as I dot"
"You cant he sure. What If you were
to find you'd been mistaken?" She
caught her breath and added hastily.
"That yon didn't really love me, I
mean.''
"Oh$ that's ridiculous!"
."I cant be sure. Nothing In life ls
permanent. What is love? Illusion of
the senses 1 What is happiness? A will
O'-the-wlsp! What ls life? A make-be
lieve!"
"Dearest!" He held her more close
ly .istlll. "You are nervous, and over
wrought You don't know what you're
saying. You cant mean what you're
saying. . . . But say that It's so-that
Ufo is all makcbelleve. Then make
believe you love ma-"
/"Oh, but I do, I do!"
"And make believe tor a little we're
caught the wlll->V-the-wlsp-only for
a little-until you wake up and realize
that it'a all real and true." .
She closed her eyes again: "Yes."
she breamed, "yon are right. Let's
make-believe lt's ?ll trne for a little
longer . . . and forget . . ."
ne could by no means account Tar
this strange humor; but he did
his best to comfort her, none the less
tenderly because of -hts mystification.
Aaa for a long time she let Illusion
blind her,, resting quietly in his arms;
making believe ...
II-THE RING
Theirs was the last vehicle to
swing between.the gates before these
last were closed.
And this was'quite,as wal!; tor
Alan, rising for one last backward
glance.through the rear window,
started involuntarily rod choked upon
an exclamation when he deserted a
powerful touring car tearing madly
toward the ferry-house, Its .one pas
senger half rising from the'frort seat,
beside the driver, and exhibiting a
countenance purple with congested
chagrin ak he saw his car barred out
of,the.carriage entrance,..
Quickly sensitive to hts emotion,
the gi H caught nervously at Alan's
hand.
''?Whit ls it. dearr
"?farrophat," he snapped.
She uttered a hushed cry ot dis
may.
"Dont bo alarmed.* however," he
hastened to comfort her. "He's lost
the race; the gates ere shut-even
the passenger gates-and there must
be a company spotter somewhere near
by,, for the ga teman is virtuously re
fusing to be bribed hy a roll vt money
as thick a* my wrist!"
At that instant the taxicab rolled
aboard tho ferry-boat; the deck ?ates
ware closed; a bvrse whistle vent
the roaring ellene of the city;
winched rattled and ?mains clanked:
and tue boat wore ponderously out oft
Ita slip.
"So much for Mr. Marrophat!" Alan
crowed, sitting down. "FVdted again!
He cant stop ns now."
- "Perhaps . . ."
:'. *%hy that perhaps? Why that
toner* he demanded Sharply, struck
by tho foreboding her accents ?on*
fessed. U
.This isnt the only ferry. There's
UM Pennsylvania and the Laekawan*
na-aad by . hard driving he might
even manage to catch the boat that
connecta W'.in this from the Christo
pher street terry of the Erle!"
"Impossible! I dont believe lt! I
won't!"
"Let's not," she agreed. "But, Ala?

him Ulk to you. I mean, don't let i
him-" j
"No fear of that!" he asseverated I
hotly. "If he tries to exchange one!
word with me-I only wish he I
would ! "
Nor was their taxicab three min-j
utes out .of the ferry house on the'
Jersey shore-thvu^h me chsuffeaur,
stimulated by Alan's extravagant
pron lees, was doing bis best to frac
ture the speed laws and escape ar
rest-when the girl's fears were am
? ly Justified ; a shout from behind I
drew Alan's head out of the window
on one side and the girl's on the !
other and proved to both that Marro- 1
phat had indeed found some way to
make the crossing without great de
lay.
His touring car was within fifty
yards when they first were made
aware of it; and Marropbat, standing
on the running board, waa shouting
inarticulately and flourishing an im
perative band; while the distance be
tween them was momentarily grow
ing less noticeable.
As Marrophat's car drew abreast
Alan nodded and said quietly:-"Don't
be alarmed; I can attend to this gen
tleman single-handed."
And this he proceeded to demon
strate with admirable ease, even
though called upon to do so far
sooner than he had thought to be
thanks to Marrophat's hal*--brained
precipitancy. For, failing to - influ
ence the taxi driver by shouted de
mands or threats, or to gain the least !

lieutenant abruptly and surprisingly i
took his life in his hands and in ona
wild bound bridged the distance be
tween tho two flying cars and landed '
on the taxi's runnlngboard. I
"Stop-" he creamed madly. "Stop, |
I say! You don't know what you're
doing! Let me tell you-"
He got, that far but no farther. In
tho same breath Alan had flung wide
the door and was at the fellow's ,
throat. There was a druggie of neg
ligible duration ; Marrophat was in
no way his antagonist's match;
within three seconds he threw out
both hands, clutched hopelessly at the
framework ot the cab, and fell heav
ily to the street
Tho taxi sped on without pau?e, rte ,
driver deaf to the balls of innocent
if indignant bystanders. Alan pulled
himself together and looked back.
Just in time to catch a glimpse of a
number of loafers Utting Marrophat
to his feet and helping him to tho
sidewalk of an unsavory-looking ten
ement, before the cab took a corner
en two wheels . . ."
"Not seriously injured, I fancy," ho
told the girl in response to her eager
"u/nrao inr<V t h? added eloora

? But it seemed that ho was to have
greater cause than-this to complain
of his luck, before that ride was
ended. Three -blocks further on a tire
blew out with, a report like a can
non-Cracker, and tbs taxi lurched
perilously, hesitated, stowed down,
and Umped dejectedly to tho curb.
Alan -and the chauffeur piled out .
fn tho same instant, the one standing
guard-with -ah eye out as well for
another cab-while the other assess
ed damages.
"Nothing for it but a new tire," ,

ally, "lt must have been a broken
bottle or something like that -it
sure did rip the usefulness clean out
of that shoe."
"Go to lt" Alan advised Ulm terse
ly; ''and if you make st,quick Job of
it I'll stand the cost ot the new
tire."
The rapidity with which he com
pleted the change of tires .proved him
an. excellent chauffeur, an adept at
his craft; but tho delay waa one dis
astrous for all that It worked to
gether with what Alan pardonably
described as the devil's own luck to
bring the touring car in sight at the
precise moment When the chauffeur
was cranking up and Alan on the \
point of re-entering the cab. And
though they Were off again before
Alan could dose the door, the at- .
tempt waa hopeless from the start
Not until they were well lntr th?
suburbs, with few dwellings near and ?
ITO pedestrians to Interfere, did Mar
rophats purpose become apparent
Then, however-and it happened ,
while 'Alan was looking back-the ,
touring 'ear drew da swiftly and eas
ily and Marropbat. rising to his scat,
leveled a revolver ever the wind
shield ant' fired. '
The crook ot his weapon was prac
tically coincident with a metallic ,
thud beneath the rear seat of the? .
taxicab.
Not for some moments did Alan ,
appreciate the tldonsness of the j
scheme. Surmising that the gasoline
tank had been punctured toy the hal- ,
let he was Inclined to heitere that
Marrophat hoped to stop the taxicab

was presently surprised, *s the cab
took a corner, to see . Marrophat's ear .
stop at that corner and Marrophat ?
himself gei-??rwE. mv bru? vi m Ll?,
Intervened, shutting off sight ot the ,
blackguard aa he knelt and Itt a ,
thatch. It was the girl who gave the ?
alarm, suddenly withdrawing her !
head from the window to scream at ,
Al?ft: . j
'.fHe's fired tho gasoline! It's flam- .
lng along ? the street, following the ,
line of the leak-and catching up with I
us!" !
Without pausing to pat his hand j
lo his latch. Alan kicked the deer i
MK, I
"Jump!" he cried."For yow life- <
Jur.p! As soon as that flame catches t
up with the .tank-" ?
Simultaneously the chauffeur, j
overhearing, shut off the power. <
, The three gained tho sidewalk bare- \
ly in ?me? tko tiny, trail, of flames, I
almost Imperceptible, io the sunlight
was not a yard from the jet that .
spurted through the bullet hole In <
tko tank. In the f utter ot aa eye-N
lash the explosion followed. Had tho.
cab beet loaded with nitroglycerin i
ita destruction could have been no j
more absolute.
Thcro was a roar . . . and then a1
heap of smoking ruins.
Without walting to admire the j
spectacle. Alan ?aught the arm of |
the girl and hurried her up the
atreet, at the same time calling to
the chauffeur to follow. And chance
brought them to the next corner as
another cab, fareless, hove into view.
Promising its driver anything he
might auk, in or out of reason, Alan
gave him the address, und helped the
girl in.
If Marrophat pursued Alan could
sos no sign ot him. The second car !
made better time than the first. Un
hindered, and as fal' os could be de
termined, without being followed, lt I
covered the brief remaining distance
In a gratefully short lapse of time.
rhThe Buburb dropped behind a maze
of streets where dwellings stood
shoulder to shoulder and dooryards
were scant. Tho car swept up to a j
corner house of modest and homely j
aspect. Two minutes more, and Alan
was exchanging salutations with the
making his bride-to-be known to
Digty's good friend, the Reverend
Mr. Wright.
Embarrassment worked confusion
with the young man's perceptive fac
ulties. As this moment approached
when two should be made one who
had gone through fire and flood. lit
erally as well as figuratively, for
each other's sake, incredulity drew a j
veil before his vision. He viewed the
world as in a glass, darkly.
And then he was aware of a door
that'banged violently in the hallway;
of tho sound of a man's volco making
some indistinguishable demand; that
Rose's hand was suddenly whipped
away, before be could fit on the ring;
that the study door was flung open
and, that this animal of a Marrophat
had' precipitated himself Into the
room.
Ho opened his mouth to protost
and Marrophat silenced him with a j
cry.
"You fool! Drop that ring! Stop
this farce! ?>on't you know whq,m
you're marrying? ...."That woman is
Judith Trine, you . Idiot-not Rose!"
Blankly Alan turned to the girl.
Her daming face, her sullen eyes, I
her very pose, from which the manner I
ot Rose had dropped like a cast gar
ment,, confessed, the truth of Marro
phat's assertion. And if this were not i
enough, Judithf confessed it doubly
with a sudden outbreak of such rage
as never could haye been brewed In
Rose's gentl? "nature.
"YOU devil!" sh**; cried-and threw
herself !n front of Marrc-^hct vriih a
spring as little as (nat or a leopard

keep out of my way forever after this']
-or take the consequences! God
knows," She panted, "why I don't kill
you as yon'stand!"
He wai. in her way, between her
and the open door. She gave him no
chance, to move aside, but seized him
so * fiercely by the wrists that he in
stinctively lifted to* .protect himself,
rind she fairly threw him half a dozen
feet from. her. He brought^p with a
crash against the ? wall even as the
door slammed behind the girl.
when Alan, the first to recover,
gained the sidewalk, she was already
In the taxicab. Whatever reward ehe
had promised the man, .he whipped
his machine away as if from tba fear
of sudden death.
And darting from the house hard
on the minister's heels, Marrophat
leaped Into his own car and, as if he
had not heard her threat or received
substantial proof of her earnestness,
tore off in pursuit,
