About eight o'clock in the evening of the same day a motorcar deposited at the Hotel Monolith a gentleman whose; weather-beaten and oil-stained motor-. Ing-cap and duster covered little cloth ng more than shirt and trousers and assorted oddly in the eyes of the desk clerk with the rather meticulously. turned-out guest known to him as Mr. Arthur Lawrence and to the manage ment of the hotel as Mr. Alan Law in cognito. Eventually persuaded, the clerk yielded up the key to Mr. Lawrence's suite of rooms, together with two notes superscribed with the same nom de guerre. ' Alan's impatience was so great that he could hardly wait to examine these communications until he was quit of the public eye. The first proved to be a character istic communication: "Dear Ulysses-Thanks for the jail delivery. I got in this morning just in time to motor over to Jersey in hopes of seeing your finish as a bachelor; instead, I was favored by being made an involuntary witness to your spec tacular. ascent, following your almost equally spectacular high-dive. "But to business: my time is lim ited; .in half an hour more I am to double in black-face for the purposes of the author of this 'melodramatic farce which you, no doubt, call the history of your grande passion. "I mean to say-well, several things, to-wit: When I saw you snatched out of the North river I was engaged in trailing a pale-faced villain in a motor car concerning whom you probably know far more than I; he on his part was busy being a bold, bad kidnaper; Rose was in his power, as we say In such cases. His intentions, however, were nothing more blameworthy than to return her to the arms of her doting parent. I know, because I sleuthed after 'em, even to the house of Seneca Trine. Later I sleuthed some more, following a furtive young man from the house of Trine to the office of the general manager of the New York Cen tral, where he made arrangements fo2 a special to convey the said Trine and retinue to Chicago and points West It leaves at three this afternoon.1 was unable to ascertain whether o1 not Rose is to participate in this hegira, but I know I shall. On the off chance of being useful, I have bribed the train crew to let me impersonati on. should you be movec - - 'atching uj plest elegance ini a. wonze hurried scrawl: "They are taking me West by spe clal train-I don't know where or why A servant has promised to see tha this reaches you. Save me!"' Over this Alan wrinkled an incred ulous nose. The hand was the hand o Rose, but the phraseology was not .ii her spirit. He examinedl it more close ly and thought to detect beneath itt semblance of haste a deliberate anur carefully guided pen. He licked ur the envelope to compare the handwrit ng of the address with that of the or closure-and shook, out a trey c: hearts. This last was covered, as to its facc with a plainly-written message. "With the cofiplments- of Senec: Trine to Alan Law. We areduiet Chicago at. eleven tomorrow mornin and leave immediately for the Pacif : coast via Santa Fe route." Comparison between this and tl' message purporting to be from Roi *lled the conviction that theE san * . was responsible for both. 'an -shrugged. So he was to be I away from New York and Rose his transparent trick, was he? No fear! He glanced at his watch, finding the hour far too early to attempt what he had. in mind. With plenty of time on his hands, he gave the matter serious considera tion, and concluded to take no chances: it was just possible that Trine had taken Rose with him on his western trip, after all. In such case the only possible way of overtaking the special would. be by air line. Promptly Alan called up the avia tion fields at Hempstead Plains and got Into communication with a -gentle man answering to the surname of Coast: the same birdman who had come to Alan's rescue with his hydro aeroplane. Their arrangements were quickly consummated, Coast agreeing to wait for Alan with his biplane in Van Cort landt park from midnight till daybreak, prepared If need be to undertake a transcontinental flight. Thereafter Mr. Law proceeded to re habilitate himself in decent clothing ad his own esteem; after bathing, he dined alone In his rooms, from a tray; Mell ad WOlel Taited to sell the most remarkable bargain in the . mggazine world this year.

Nor had this been all. Leaving aside all -that -had led up to Alan's rescue by Coast: the forced landing of the hydro aeroplane for lack of fuel had taken place on the -south shore of the Great South iay; a search of hours had fol lowed before a boat was found to con-' vey Alai and the aviator to the main lan~d; and a motor run of severalhours had followed.that, conveying Coast to his Hempstead.hangars and Alain on to his hotel In New York.

"In what capacity, please? As enemy cr-ally?" "As ally-you're right: we can't be friends-until we overtake that spe cial train. After that, by your leave, I'll shift for myself.'

Another minute, and less than fifty, feet separated the two-the special' train and the light engine, both hur tling through the light at top speed. With a word to the engineer Alan crept out along the side of the boiler, with only a greasy handrail and a nar row foothold between himself and what meant death, or something close ly resembling it, should he be shaken off by the tearing wind and the sway ing of the locomotive. It seemed an hour before he worked himself up to the cowcatcher-now within four feet of the rear platform of the special. On this last he could see a woman's figure indistinctly silhouetted against the light through the door, and beside her a man in a white coat, clinging for dear life to the knob of the door-1 holding it against the frantic efforts of some persons inside to tear it open. Another hour of suspense dragged out-or such was the effect-while the light engine with intolerable slowness bridged those four scant feet. At length it was feasible to attempt the thing. Rose (he could see her strained white face quite-plainly now) was half over the rail of the car ahead, ready to jump. His heart failed him. It was too hazardous a risk. He dared not let her take it. Something very like a shot sounded from the train and something very like a bullet whistled past his cheek, and proved the signal for several more. Strangely, that knowledge steadied his nerves. Straining forward and holding on to a bar so hot that it scorched his palm, he offered a hand to the girl on the rail. Her hand fell confidently into it. She jumped. His arm wound round her as she landed on the platform of the cow catcher. He heard her breathe his name, then hurriedly passed her be tween himself and the boiler to the footway at the side. The fireman was waiting there to help her. Alan turned his attention to Barcus. To his dismay he found tVat the en gine was losing ground. The space was widening rapidly as Barcus re leased the knob and threw himself over the rail.
