And Inasmuch as this is not only
longer uninterrupted term of happl
ness than Is humanly common but is
more of that emotion than ordinarily
leavens the whole of a lifetime, Alan
was perhaps to be envied, even though
disillusionment wheu 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 was
synchronous 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
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 Trlna
Vigilant for any Indication that their
evasion had had a witness In that
strange home of deathloss hatred.
Alan watched it through the little
window In the back of tho 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!" ho whispered, and tenta
tively touched one of tho handB 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 accldont!
Alan had too often suffered the pen
alty of disappointment for over-indulgence
In this falling of his for depreci
ating the unforeseen, not to make the
mental reservation, "Barring acci
dents!" with a little 6hlver 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.
"Hose!" he begged again, closing a
hand tenderly over hers. "Dearest
girl, don't worry another Instant! Do
calm yourself: remember we are safe

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 ehe 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
faee 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
can't be true! I'm trying ao hard to

crang passionately to htm. Tell me
again that you love me!" she prayed.
"Promise me you'll never let anything
come between us. Promise me, Alan
promise me you'll be kind to me al
ways, dear!"
"Can you doubt I will be klndr b
murmured reproachfully.
"I am afraid . . ." she whispered,
"How could I be anything else, toy
log you as I doT"
"I am afraid . . ."
"Why should I be unkind to youT"
"It isn't that ... I'm Just
afraid."
"Of whatr
"Of losing you- ' '
"But that can never bet"
"You can't be sure. What If you
were to And you'd been mistaken T"
She caught her breath and added
hastily "That you didn't really love
me, I mean,"
"Oh. that' ridiculous 1"
"I cant be sure. Nothing in life Is
permanent What Is love? Illusion of
the senses! What Is happiness? A
wlll-o'-the-wlsp! What Is life? A
make-bollevel"
Dearest!" He held her more close
ly still. "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 s
that life Is all make-believe. Then
meke-bolleve you love me"
"Oh, but I do, I do!"
"And make-believe for a little we've
caught the wlll-o'-the-wlsp only for a
little until you wake up and realise
tbat it's all real and true."
She closed her eyes again! "Yes,1
she breathed, "you axe right Let's
make-believe It's all true for a little
longer . . . and forget . . ."
He could by no means account for
this strange humor; but be did his
best to comfort her, none the lees ten
derly because of his mystification. And
for a long time she let Illusion blind
her, resting quietly In his arms, mak
ing believe . . .
Only on approaching the Twenty-
third street ferry they must needs
rouse and sit apart constrainedly for
fear some one might glance through
the window and surprise their secret
As If one needed the evidence of a
caress exchanged to know that they
were lovers, who had eyes to see the
flushed loveliness of the girl shrink
lng back In her corner or wit to Inter
pret the radiant happiness that shone
In Alan's face as he bent forward and
watched warily from the window.
CHAPTER XXVI k
The Ring.
Theirs was the last vehicle to swing
between the gates before these last
were closed.
And this was quite as well; for Alan,
rising tor one last backward glance
through the rear window, started in
voluntarily and choked upon an ex
clamation when he descried a power
ful touring car tearing madly toward
the ferry-house, lte one passenger half
rising from the front seat, beside the
driver, and exhibiting a countenance
purple 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 uttered a hushed cry of dismay.
"Don't be alarmed, however," ho
hastened to comfort her. "He's lost
the race: the gates are shut even the
passenger gates and there must bo
a company spotter somewhere near by,
for the gateman Is virtuously refusing
to be bribed by a roll of money aa
thick as my wrist!"
At that Instant the taxicab rolled
aboard the ferry-boat; the deck gates
were closed; a hoarse whistle rent the
roaring silence of the city; winches
rattled and chains clanked; and the
boat wore ponderously out of Its slip.
So much for Mr. Marrophat!" Alan
crowed, sitting down. "Foiled again!
He cant stop us now!"
"Perhaps . .
"Why that perhaps? Why that
tone?" he demanded sharply, struck
by the foreboding her accents con
fessed.
"This Isn't the only ferry. There's
the Pennsylvania and the Lackawanna
and by hard 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 ltt I
wont!"
Let's not," she agreed. "But, Alan
"Yes?"
"Promise me If he should manage
to catch up with ns you wont let him
talk to you. I mean, dont let him "
"No fear of that!" be asservated
hotly. "If he tries to exchange one
word with me I only wish he would!"
She seemed satisfied with that; but
the Incident bad 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, stlmu
later by Alanjs extravagant promisee,
was doing his beet to fracture the
speed laws and escape arrest when
the girl's fears were amply justified;
a shout from behind drew Alan's head
out of the window on one side and the
girl's on the other and proved to both
that Marrophat had Indeed found some
way to make the crossing without
great delay. . . , , . ,-
His touring ear was .within fifty
yards when they first were aware of
It; and Marrophat sUndlng'oh the
running-board, was shouting Inarticu
lately and flourishing an Imperative
hand; while the distance between
ILL BE t ILLUSTRATED
hem was momentarily growing less
noticeable.
As Marrophat's car drew abreast
Alan nodded and said quietly: "Dont
be alurnied; 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 bo far soon
er than he had thought to be thanks
to Marrophut's halr-bralned preclpt
tancy. For. falling to tufluence the
taxi driver by shouted demands or
threats, or to gain the least attention
from Alan, Trine's flrst lieutenant ab
ruptly and surprisingly took his life
In his hands and In one wild bound
bridged the distance between the two
flying cars and lauded on the taxi's
runnlag board.
Btop!" he screamed madly. "Stop,
I say! You dont know what you're
doing! Let mo tell you "
He got that far but no farther. In
tho eame breath Alan had flung wide
the door and was at the fellow's throat
There was a struggle of negligible
duration; Marrophat was In no way
bis antagonist's match; within three
seconds he threw out both hands,
clutched hopelessly at the framework
of the cab, and fell heavily to the
street.
The taxi sped on without pause, tts
driver deaf to the halls of Innocent if
Indignant bystanders. Alan pulled
himself together and looked back Just
In time to catch a glimpse of a num
ber of loafers lifting Marrophat to his
foet and helping him to the sidewalk
That Woman Is Judith
of an unsavory-looking tenement, be
fore the cub took a corner on two
wheels . . ."
"Not seriously Injured, I fancy, he
told the girl In response to her eager
look. "Worse luck I" he added
gloomily.
But It seeemed that he 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 cannon-cracker,
and the taxi lurched perilously,
hesitated, slowed down, and limped
dejectedly to the curb.
Alan and the chauffeur plied out In
the same instant, the one standing
guard with an eye out as well for
another cab while the other assessed
damages.
"Nothing for It but a new tire, sir."
this last reported sympathetically. "It
must have been a broken bottle or,
something like that It sure did rip
the usefulness clean out of that shoe."
"Go to it," Alan advised him terse
ly; "and If you make a quick Job of It
I'll stand the cost of the new tire."
"But if another cab comes along
while you're at it you'll lose uo as
quick aa a wink. Here's my card, In
case we have to desert you In a hurry;
you understand this is a matter of life
and death, and I'll have no time to
settle up with you. But you can call
at Mr. Dlgby's office and he'll fix
things up to your satisfaction."
The man took the card and after a
glance at the name touched his hat
with more noticeable respect
"AH right, Mr. Law," he agreed;
"anything you say." And forthwith
got to work.
The rapidity with which he com
pleted the change of tires proved him
an excellent chauffeur, an adept at his
craft; but the delay was one disas
trous for all that. It worked together
with what Alan pardonably described
as tho devil's own luck to bring the
touring car In sight at the precise mo
ment 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 close the
door, the attempt was hopeless from
the start
And yet whether or not because
Alan's distaste for interference had
been too convincingly demonstrated
the touring car for the time being
contented Itself with trailing about
flftv feet In the rear, while the taxi
fled the tenement purlieus of -the Hoij
boken waterfront and found Its way
Into the broader streets of an unpre
tentious suburban quarter.
Not until they were well into the
suburbs, with few dwellings near and
no pedestrians to interfere, did Marro
phat's purpose become apparent Then,
however and It happened while Alan
was looking back the touring car
drew tn swiftly and easily and Marro
phat,' rising in his seat leveled a re
volver over the windshield and fired.
The crack of hie weapon was prac
tically coincident with a metalllo thud
beneath the rear seat of the taxicab.
Not for some moments did Alan ap
preciate the viclousness of the scheme.
Surmising that the gasoline tank bad
been punctured by the bullet, he was

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

of the leak and catching op with TAl"
Without pausing to put his band t'

In the flutter of an eyelash the explo
sion followed. Had the cab been load-
ed with nitroglycerin tts destruction
could have been no mora absolute.
There was a roar . . . and then
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

out of reason, Alan gave him the ad

If Marrophat pursued. Alan could sea
no sign of him. The second oar made '
better time than the first Unhindered,'
and as far aa could be determined,
without being followed,' It covered tha
brief remaining dlstanoe In a grate
fully short lapse of time.
The suburb dropped behind a toase
of streets where dwellings stood shoul
.der to shoulder and dooryards were
scant The car swept up to a corner
house of modest and homely aspect
Two minutes more, and Alan was ex
changing salutations with and making
his bride-to-be known to Dlgby's good
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 world
as in a glass, darkly.
He was aware of a decently fur
nished minister's study; of two wit
nesses In the guise of unassuming1
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
lng opposite him; of questions asked
and responses made; of a ring that
was magically conjured from Some
store apparently i maintained against
precisely similar emergencies; of a
band that took the hand that was to be
his wife's and placed It in his; of bis
clumsy and witless bungling with tha
task of 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 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.
He opened his mouth to "protest-
and Marrophat silenced him with
cry. . -:

you're marrying? That woman Is Ju

with a sudden outbreak of such rage
as never could have been brewed la
Rose's gentle nature. !
"Yon devil!" she cried and threw'
herself In front of Marrophat with a
spring as tithe as that of a leopardess.
"Take warning now from me: keep;

she panted, "why j don't kill, you, as
