- - CHAPTER XXVI.
Make-Believe.
For upwards of three-quarters of az
hour of that golden morning which fol
lowed the night of his return to Nev
York, Mr. Law was permitted to es
teem himself 'he happiest of mortals.
And inasmuch as this is not only I
longer uninterrupted term of happi
ness than is humanly common but 1i
more of that emotion than ordinarily
leavens the whole of a lifetime, Ala
was perhaps to be envied, even thougt
disillusionment when it came was sud
den, sharp, and to him unspeakably
shocking-a swift, unpresaged plunge
from sunlit peaks of supreme content
to the black depths of a bleak Aver
nus of despair.
The beginning of the period wu
synchron6us with the slam of a taxi
cab door that shut away a superfluous
world from the company of two who
loved.
The sound spelled safety as well se
success in Alan's understanding.
The car slipped smoothly away from
the curb, pursued only by a little gust
of semi-ironic cheers from the little
company of working men who had wit
nessed as well as measurably partici
pated in the putative elopement from
the house of Trine.
Vigilant for any indication that their
evasion had had a witness in that
strange home of deathless hatred,
Alan watched it through the little
window In the back of the cab until a
corner blotted out the vision of it;
then with a sigh of relief sank down
by the side of the woman to whom his
every thought, impulse and emotion
were dedicated.
"Rose!" he whispered, and tenta
tively touched one of the hands that
lay clenched in her lap.
She responded with never a sign to
indicate consciousness either of his
touch or his 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 he had won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than a short hour's drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should prove the consummation of all
their trials . . . Barring accident!
Alan had too often suffered the pen
alty of disappointment for over-indul
gence in this failing of his for depreci
ating 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, don't worry another instant! Do
calm yourself- remember we are safe

Without Being Seen.

to your faith and bravery, sweetheart!
and everything Is going to be well
with us from now on. Over in Jersey
the minister is waiting now to marry
us; and down at the White Star dock
the boat is waiting that is to carry us
off to England the moment we're mar
ried. Think of that--and that I love
you. Nothing can possibly break the
strength of that combination!"
For another minute she rested as
she had ever since sinking Into her
corner of the taxicab-moveless, taut,
unresponsive.
Then a long sigh shook her to her
very heart, and of a sudden the small
fist in Alan's grasp relaxed and her
face turned to his like a flower to
the sun, a face transfigured, Its lips
now soft and yielding, its eyes un
closed and smiling into his a smile
all misty with unshed tears.
"'Alan." she breathed gently. "It

CHAPTER XXVi I.
The Ring.
Theirs was the last v hicle to swing
between the gates biefore these last
were closed.
And this was quite as well; for Alan,
rising for one last backward glance
throuigh the rear window, started in
voluntarily and choked upon an ex-1
clamation when he descried a, power
ful touring car tearing madly 'toward
the ferry-house, It. one passenger half1
rising from the front seat, beside the
driver, and exhibiting a countenance]
puryile with congested chagrin as he
saw his car barred out of the carriage
entrance.
Quickly sensitive to his emotion, the
girl caught nervously at Alan's hand.
"What is it; dear?"
"Marrophat," he snapped.
She uttere'd a hushed:icfy of dismay.
"Don't be alarmed, however," ~~he
hastened to comfort her. "He'~s lost
the race: the gates are shut-even the
passenger gate*--and. there must be
a company spotter somewhere near by,
for the gateman Is virtuously refusing
to be bribed~ by a roll of. money as
thick as my wrist!"
*At that instant the taxicab rolled
aboard the ferry-boat; th4 deck gates
were closed; a hoarse whistle rent the
roaring silen'ce of the city; winches
rattled and Shains clanked; and the
boat wore ponderously out of its slip.
"So much for Mr. Marrophat!" Alan
crowed, sitting down. "Foiled again!
He can't stop usi now!"
"Perhaps . .-"
"Why that. perhaps? Why that
tone?" he demanded sharply, struck
by the forebbding her accents con
fessed.
"This Isn't the only ferry. There's
the Pennsylvadia and .the Lackawanna
-and by haril driving he might even
manage to catch the boat that con
nects with this from the Christopher
street ferry of-the Erie!"
"Impossible! I don't believe it! I
won't!"
"Let's not," she agreed. "But, Alan
"Yes?"
"Promise me-If he should manage
to catch up with us-you won't let him
talk to you. I mean, don't let him-"
"No fear of that!" he asservated
hotly. "If he tries to exchange one
word with me-I only wish he would!"
She seemed satisfied with that; but
the incident had served appreciably to
chill their spirits. They accomplished
the remainder of that voyage in a
silence that was no less depressed be
cause they sat hand in hand through
out.
Nor was their taxicab three minutes
out of the ferry house on the Jersey
shore-though the chauffeur, stimu

was doing, his' best to fractur6 the
speed lawa, and escape arrest-when(
the girl's fears were amply justified;

girl's on the other and proved to both

As Marrophat's car drew abreasi
Alan nodded and said quietly: "Don'1
be alarmed; I can attend to this gen

And this he proceeded to demon

though called upon to do so far soon

taxi driver by shouted . demands oi

ruptly and surprisingly took his life
in his hands and in one wild bound
bridged the distance between the twc
aying cars and landed on the taxi's
running-board.
Stop!" he screamed madly. "Stop,
I say! You don't know what you're
loing! Let me tell you-"
He got that far but no farther. Im
the same breath Alan had flung wide
the door and was at the fellow's throat
There was a struggle of negligibli
duration; Marrophat was in no way
his antagonist's match; within three
seconds he threw out both hands,
lutched hopelessly at the framework
Af the cab, and fell heavily to the
street.
The taxi sped on without pause, its
river deaf to the hails of innocent il
tndignant bystanders. Alan pulled
imself together and looked back just

"Not seriously injured, I fancy," he

gloomily.
But it seeemed that he was to have
greater cause than this to complain of
hs luck, before that ride was ended,
hree blocks further on a tire blevw
aut with a report like a cannon-crack
er, and the taxi lurched perilously,
esitated, slowed down, and limped
lejectedly to the curb.
Alan and the chauffeur piled out is
the same instant, the one standing
guard-with an eye out as well fox
another cab-while the other assessed
lamages.
"Nothing for it but a new tire, sir,'
this last reported sympathetically. "It
must have been a broken bottle ox
something like that-it sure did rit
the usefulness clean out of that shoe.'
"Go to it," Alan advised him terse
Ly; "and if you make a quick job of it
['U1 stand the cost of the new tire."
"But if another cab comes aloni
rhile you're at it you'll lose us at
uick as a wink. Here's my card, ii

you vnderstand this is a matter of lifE

things up to your satisfaction."
The man 'ook the card and after
glance at the name touched his hal
with more noticeable respect.
"Al! right, Mr. Law," he agreed;
anything you say." And forthwiti
got to work.
The rapidity with which he corn
pleted the change of tires proved hin
an excellent chauffeur, an adept at hii
craft; but the delay was one disas

off again before Alan could close thi

inclined to believe that Marrophat
hoped to stop the taxicab by depriv

And with this in mind he was present

he knelt and lit a match. It was the
girl who gave the alarm, suddenlY,
withdrawing her head from the win

"He's fired the gasoline! It's lam

of the leak-and catching up with us!t".
Without pausing to put his hand to

"Jump!" he cried. "For your lif

up with the tank-"
Simultaneously the chauffeur, over
hearing, shut off the power.
The three gained the sidewalk bare
ly in time: the tiny trail of flames, al
most imperceptible in the sunlight,
was not a yard from the jet that spurt-.
ed through the bullet hole in the tank.
In the flutter of an eyelash the explo
sion followed. Had the cab been load
ed with nitroglycerin its destruction
could have been no more absolute.
There was a roar . . . and then
a heap of smoking ruins.
Without waiting to admire the spec
tacle, Alan caught the arm of the girl
and hurried her up the street, at the
same time calling to the chauffeur to
follow. And chance brought them to
the next corner as another cab, fare
less, hove into view. Promising its
driver anything he might ask, in or
out of reason, Alan gave him the ad
dress, and helped the girl in.
If Marrophat pursued Alan could see
no sign of him. The second car made
better time than the first. Unhindered,
and as far as could be determined,
without being followed, it Covered the
brief remaining distance in a grate
fully short lapse of time.
The suburb dropped behind a maze
of streets where dwellings stood shoul

scant. The car swept up to a corner

friend, the Reverend Mr. Wright.
Embarrassment worked confusion
with the young man's perceptive facul
ties. As this moment approached
when two should be made one who had.
gone through fire and flood, literally
as well as figuratively, for each oth-.
er's sake, incredulity drew a veil be-.
fore his vision. He viewed the wo-id
as in a glass, darkly.
He was aware of a decently fur
nished minister's study; of two wit
nesses in the guise of unassuming
womenfolk of the minister's house
hold; of the Rev. Mr. Wright himself
as a benevolent voice rolling sono
rously forth from a black-clad pres
ence; of the woman of his heart stand
ing opposite him; of questions asked.
and responses made; of a ring that
was magically conjured from some
store apparently maintained against
precisely similar emergencies; of a
hand that took the hand that was to be
his wife's and placed it in his; of hi~
clumsy and witless bungling with the
takof fitting that ring to the finger
of his sweetheart's hand .
And then he was aware of a door
that banged violently in the hallway;
of the sound of a man's voice making
some indistinguishable demand; that
Rose's hand was suddenly whipped
away, before he 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.
He opened his mouth to protest
and Marrophat silenced him with a
cry.
"You fool! Drop that ring! Stop
this farce! Don't you know whom
you're marrying? That woman Is 3u
dith Trinle, you Idiot-not Rose!"
IBlankly Alan turned to the girl.
Her flaming face, her sullen eyes,
her very pose, from which the man
ner of Rose had dropped like a cast.
garment, confessed the truth of Mar
rophat's assertion. And as If this were
not enough,.Judith confessed It doubly
with a sudden outbreak of such rage
as never could have been brewed In
Rose's gentle nature.
"You devil!" she cried-and threw
herself in front of Marrophat with a
spring as lithe as that of a leopardess.
"Take warning now from me: keep
out of my way forever after thie--or
take the consequences! God knows,"
she panted, "why I don't kill ~you as
you stand!"
He was 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,
and she fairly threw him half a dozen
feet from her. He brought up 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 che
had promised the man, he whipped his
machine away as if from the 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.

The cigarette habit is becom
ing fearfully alarming. Almost
every boy you, meet is addicted
to it. The little fellow just out
of his swaddling clothes, the boy
with knee pants, and the older
ones, too, may be seen. in. this
town, and every other town al
most any day with a cigarette
in his mouth. This is the mean
est, most debasing, ruinous
habit that our boys can have.
It is worse than the ligqorhabit,
if It is possible for such a thing
to be, because it is largely con
fined to the boys. Very few of
the smaller boys use liquor in
any form, and fe to excess,
but when it comeo cigarettes
the great majority of them use
them. How do the bo s get
cigarettes? Every grown per
son. and especially the business
men know it is a violation of
the law of this state to let boys
have them. The state law on
this subject is as follows:
"I% shall not be lawful for any
nerson or persons, either by him
self or themselves, tosell,furnish,
give, or provide any minor or
minors under the age of eighteen
years, with cigarettes, tobacco,
or cigarette paper, or any sub
stitute therefor. Any person or
persons violating the provisions
of this section, either in peison,
by agent, or in any other way,
shall be held and deemed guilty
*of a misdemeanor, ~and, upon
conviction shall be punished by
a fine not exceeding $100 nor;
less than $25,. or by imprison
ment for a. term of not. more
than one year nor less than two
inonthsq, or both, in the discre
tion of the court; one half. of
he fine imposed to be paid to
the informer of the offense, and
the other half to be paid to the
:teasurer of the county."
There surely must be some
body in this county who is
every day violating this law; if
not, howr could all these boys
who smoke cigarettes get them?
