" 'Weil, sir.' aald the official. 'I do not

that waa what made me so positive
about the gent who baa gone off In the

"The two officers aeiacd me by either

marched Into the road a rider on borse

"TV detectives were staggered, and

document from him, looked down and
■aw the handcuffs.
-'What does this meanr h* said to
the detectives.
-It manna,' I interrupted, that I
have been arrested by mistake for

pretended or real, to me has gained
j possession of my special train to Loo

"It waa the work of but a brace of

th* nrlounan of the fault of which
they bad been guilty, and their aa
sterna tion waa not decreased by the
knowledge Hmt the real erhainat waa
ipceding away at the rate of fifty
piika an hour toward London. The
first thing to do was to telegraph for
the fugitive train to be stop|«d at
Staines, but the detective who hurried
aff to do this came flying I nek wltb the
intelligence that Ibe wire had becu cut
almut four mile* out of Windsor.
- -Is there another gpeclfll to l»e had?
I inquired of the station master, who
was by tbia time worked up into a
freuiy of excitement.
" "No, *lr," be said, "but there ia an
engine at your acrvlcc If you would not
mind making the Journey In tliat. She
Is very fast and will do the Journey up
well within thirty minute*.'
- 'What time will the special taker
" 'Fifty-eight minutes.' be replied.
- 'And bow much start has she;' *

" Then wo ought to catcb up with 1
her," I replied.

" "Then bring her alongside at once." I j
aald. Ami within two minutes we were

I ""I will do my best,' aald the driver,
and, turning to his mute, he directed
* him to pile *ll the fuel possible on th*
fire.
The plate* grew redbot with th*
Screen*** of the furnat-e that roared
within, and on we went at a speed such

never to travel again. That engine tore
over the rulls like a demon possessed of
