The face of Judith Trine was distinctly rcvealed by the chill gray light of early dawn to those aboard the power craiscr as she swept up through the reaches of New Bedford harbor and aimed for the first whart that promised a f:ir 'snding on the main waterfront of the city. ‘There was neither a policeman nor a watchman of any sort in sight. l Nor was there, for all his hopes and prayers, based on the telegram to Digby, a si7n of a motor car. Still, not much of the street was revealed. The docks on either hand were walled and roofed, cutting off the view, 1t they ran for it, they must surely be overhauled. Something must be done to hinder the crew of the schooner from landing. “Here!” he cried sharply to Barcus. “You take Rose and hurry to the street and find that motorcar. 1 know she's there. Digby never faile me yet!"” “Rut you—" “Don’t waste t'me worrying about me. I'll be with you in three shakes. I'm only going to put a &»oke in Ju- dith's wheel. I've got a scheme!” As for his scheme—he had none other than to give them battle, to sac- rifice himself if need be, to make sure the escape of Rose. Sheer luck smiled on him to this extent, that in turning his eye lighted on a fourfoot length of stout, three- inch scantling, an excellently for- midable club. But soon, disarmed, his case was desperate—and there were two al- ready safe upon the dock and others madly scrambling up to reinforce them. house with the reputation of high class goods Our Hart Schaffner and Marx Suits are selling better this Fall than last.

His fellow followed with less injury. But Alan had no time to wonder whether the man had tripped and thrown himself in his effort to escape a secund hurtling keg, or had turnel coward and fled. It wis enough that he had returned, precipitately and heavily, to the schooner. The keg, meeting with ro resistance, pursued him even to the deck, where the force of ite impact split its seams. i None of the combatants, however, Alan least of all, noticed that the pow- der that filtered out was black and coarse. Alan, indeed, had only the haziest notion that they were powder- kegs he used as ammunition. That they were heavy and hurt when they collided with human flesh and bone was all that interested bim. In the same breath he heard a friendly voice shout warning far up the dock, and knew that Barcus was coming to his aid. A glance over-shoulder, too, discov- ered the cause of the warning; two men who had thus far escaped his attentions were maneuvering to fall upon him from behind. The bound required to evade them brought him face to face with Judith as she landed on the dock. “Oh,” she cried, “I hate you, I hate you—"" “So you've said, my dear, but—" His final words were not audible even to himself. In his confidence (now that Barcus was taking care of the others) and his impatience with the woman, and in his perhaps un- worthy wish to demonstrate conclu- sively how cheap he held her, Alan had tossed the pistol over the end of the wharf. It was an old-fashioned weapon, und the force with which it struck the deck released the hammer. Instantly the .44 cartridge blazed into the open head of a broken powder Read what I say in this paper every week. I will tell you how to be healthy, beautiful andwise.

The machine re- sponded without a jar; they were a hundred feet distant from the scene of the accident before Alan was fairly settled in his place. As he grew more and more calm, he congratulated himself on having drawn an excellent car in the lottery of chance. It was light, but the motor ran famously, and if not capable of a racing pace it would serve his ends as speedily as was consistent with reasonable care for the life of the woman he loved.

In the succeeding quarter-hour the calmness of fatalism became Alan's. They were biding their time for some secret and fatal purpose. The blow was predestined to fall, but cruelly de- ferred. For his own part, he drove like an exceptionally cunning madman. And then, quite clearly, he recog- nized the time and the place and the character of the road that lay before him as the car sped like a dragon-fly down a slight grade.

For all that, you shall die—I could not save you if I would!
