Only the broadening pathway of light thrown out by the car’s lamps showed ahead of them. “Neri!” she called again, quickly. “What is it?" From the side of the road came Neri's voice, soothing and musical, in his own Palermese dialect. “Some one has been hurt, signorita. We very nearly ran over him, but I stopped in time. He {s half dead, stabbed, a little below the heart.” “Oh, Nerf, and we're miles from a town. Can you lift him in here with me?” | “Signorita, he is very badly hurt. There are lights on the mountain yon- der. Let me go for help.” “And perhaps find the very people who stabbed him. *“No,” shivered Marjorie. *I hate your Sicilian neigh- borliness. Lift him in, and I'll sit way over on this side. How far is Aresti?” “Too far for tonight. He would not live. There is a castle on the farther side of this mountain. The Rassalioni family live there. We might find some help there. A village lies below it, possibly a surgeon and a priest. He will need both before morning.” | “Oh, be cheerful, Neri, please. It's quite dreadful enough without burying | him already. Can I help you?” | She leaned forward, but Neri had lifted the man in his arms, and brought him to the tonneau. He was unconscious. As Neri propped him back on the seat, Marjorie saw he was young, and no peasant type. The car rolled along at top speed, taking thg rise of the road easily without jolting. “The castle, signorita,” Neri called back over his shoulder. Above them Marjorie saw a lonely mass of mason- ry, clustering piles around one hugo | tower, Neri stopped before a postern door. Above it hung a lantern lighted. Aft-/ er repeated pulling at an iron ring fastened to a bell rope at the side the door opened, and an old Italian peered out anxiously. Neri spoke rapidly to him, and he took down the lantern to | hold it before the unconscious face. “Santa Maria!” he gasped. ‘“Where did you find him?” “Don't ask questions,” Marjorie ex- claimed. “Get some help. He has been stabbed. Carry him in.” Marjorie waited, a silent, restless figure swathed in gray silk motoring coat and gray veil, while they bore the limp form into the shadowy court- yard. She followed slowly, under an arched door into a dim old hall, low ceiled and spacious. him on a couch, and Neri talked in low tones with the old man. “What is it, Neri?” asked his mis- tress impatiently. “Does he know him?" “Know him? Signorita, we have had the fortune to rescue the Marchese di Rassalioni. He has been set upon by certain roaming banditti whom he had threatened. He would have died if we had not happened by. The mar- chesa, his mother—" “I know all about her, Neri,” Mar- jorie smiled in a tantalizing fashion all her own. Deliberately she went to the couch and looked down at the face there. She had been evading meeting the marchesa for days. Lady Moore- parke had talked of no one else, “He says it is dangerous for us to return tonight,” continued Neri. “Per- haps if you would stay here with the marchesa, signorita, I could make the trip, and relieve your father’s mind.” “I think I will stay, Nerl,” she an- swered.

H “opyright. “Fares, ploa(:o‘.'p')mm ’ The woman looked up, her forehead puckered in a troubled frown. “I—I seem to have lost my purse,” she said, with some degree of embarrassment. “I had it when I started, but I must have dropped it some- where."” The young con- ductor stood uncertainly for a mo- ment, his hand on the tare-lever. The woman was beautiful, well dressed, and evidently, from her voice and bearing, a gentlewoman. There seemed only cne thing to do. “Very well, madam—" he was be- ginning, when a stout, red-faced man in the next seat burst into a disagree- able laugh. “Same old graft, conductor,” he said, with a coarse wink, diving one hand into his trou -pocket; “but they al- ways get away with it, the dears!” The woman flushed scarlet, and edged away from him, her face show- ing plainly the aversion and disgust she felt at his words and action, “Will you pay my fare for me, con- ductor?" she asked. “Certainly, madam,” young man courteously, both the nickel proffe: faced man and the latter’s sneering re- mark, drew five cents from his waist- coat-pocket, and transferred it to his coat, Then he rang up the fare and moved on, “What ig your name, please, condue- tor?” said the woman, putting a de- taining hand on his arm. It was the young man’'s turn to flush. “That isn't at all necessary, mad- | am,” he protested. “Yes, it is,” she insisted. tell me.” “John Brewster. “Thank you." He passed on, and a few blocks far- ther along the woman left the car, giving him a pleasant nod and smile as he helped her off the step. The red-faced man presently got up, and lounged toward the platform, giv- ing the bell-tope a jerk. “Here, my man,” said he, holding out a five-cent piece, “take it. 1 can bet- ter afford to lose it than you can. You'll do well hereafter to remember that a favorite trick of that sort of woman is to beat the road, the con- ductor, or any one else ghe can stick for the price of her fare.” Brewster drew back, an angry flash in his eyes. | “I don't want your money,” he said | in a low tone. “But,” he added, “you will do well to learn how to tell a lady when yot see one. If I hadn't been wearing the company's uniform, I'd have thrown you off the car when you spoke to her as you did.” “Oh, you would, would you?" gnarled the other. “Well, we'll see just how good your job is, Mr. John Brewster! I'll have you know that no whipper- snapper of a fresh conductor can in- sult me with impunity! You wait and see!"” Brewster thought no more of the threat and its maker until the next morning, when a summons to the su- perintendent's office brought it forei- bly to his mind. With a feeling of uneasiness, he complied with the order, and present- ly found himself face to face with the superintendent, who looked up from the pile of letters he was sorting and favored the young man with a curt nod. “Ycu're John Brewster?" he said; “I received a complaint against you—a man has notifled me that you were in- solent to him yesterday—that you threatened to throw him off the car. replied the He ignored red by the red- “Please A TROLLEY CAR INGIDENT f ‘ day.” | Haven't I said T wanted to stay? walt until you “because, you see, I always wanted to ! +, be married in my own land.” flowering vines of the pergola to look | at her.
