His intentions, however, were nothing more blameworthy than 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 for a special to convey the said Trine and retinue to Chicago and points West. It leaves at three this afternoon. I was unable to ascertain whether or | not Rose is to particlpate in this hegira, but [ know I ehall. On the off- chance of being useful, I have bribed the train crew to let me lmpemma‘ the porter. So, should you be moved( to follow and succeed in catching np‘ with us, and observe anybody who | looks rather off-color in the party—fi don't shoot: the said party will be me. “Yours for the quiet life, “TOM BARCUS.” | The second note yielded a communi- | cation written on notepaper of the sim- | plest elegance in a woman’s hand—a | hurried scrawl: i “They are taking me West by spe- cial train—I don’t know where or why. | A servant has promised to see that this reaches you. Save me!” Over this Alan wrinkled an incred- | ulous nose. The hand was the hand of Rose, but the phraseology was not ln; her epirit. He examined it more close- ly and thought to detect beneath its semblance of haste a deliberate and carefully guided pen. He picked up the envelope to compare the handwrit- | ing of the address with that of the en- | closure—and shook out a trey of. hearts. This last was covered, as to its face, with a plainly-written message. A “With the compliments of Seneca ' Trine to Alan Law. We are due in | Chicago at eleven tomorrow morning | and leave immediately for the Pacific ' coast via Santa Fe route.” Comparison between this and the meesage purporting to be from Rose | distilled the conviction that the same hand was responsible for both. ] Alan shrugged. So he was to be! lured away from New York and Rose ' by this 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 flelds 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 and his own esteem; after bathing, he dined alone in his rooms, trom a tray; | after dining he slept eoundly for three ! hours—and may be thought to have | earned at least that much rest through having been for four hours a passen- ger in a hydroaeroplane lost in fogs that- wrapped Long Island and all the adjacent territory in an impenetrable shroud. 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 bay; a search of hours had fol- lowed before a boat was found to con- vey Alan and the aviator to the main- land; and a motor run of eeveral hours had followed that, conveying Coast to his Hempstead hangars and Alan on to his hotel in New York. Another man would have needed twelve hours in bed at the least to compensate for such a day: Mr. Law awakened in a lamb-like temper when called at eleven-thirty. At midnight he committed an act of burglary, calmly and with determina- tion breaking his way into the house of Seneca Trine through the area win- dows and basement. In this nefarious business nothing hindered and none opposed him. But for a single lighted window in the up- per tier (but not, he noted, the window to Rose's bedchamber) and one or two lights which he found burning dim in the kitchen offices and other servants’ Aside from actual violence no solu- tion offered to the pussle—and vio- lence was abruptly forced upon him. No sound warned him of the door that opened at his back as he stood ‘watching the sleeping guard. A pierc- ing shriek was the first intimation he received that his presence had been discovered. It served as well to move him instantly into action: a single glance overshoulder showed him the figure of a maid-servant in cap and gown, her mouth etill wide and full of sound—and Alan fell upon the guard ke a thunderbolt. The man had barely time to jump up and recognize the alarm: then a fist caught him on the point of his jaw, and he returned | promptly to deep unconsciousness. No time now for qualms of com- punction on account of the savage ruthlessness of that blow: no time even to search the fellow for a key to the closed door: already the matd was taking the stairs in full flight and cry, four steps and a howl like a warlock’s to every jump. Backing off, Alan took a short run, cleared the prostrate body of the guard with a leap, and flung himselt full force against the door, his shoulder striking a point nearest the lock. With & splintering crash it broke inward. Without dignity or decorum he sprawled on all fours into the presence of Judith Trine. “Poor Mr. Law!” she cried, with a mocking nod, “always disappointed! I'm so sorry—truly I am!” “Oh, spare me your sarcasm,” he begged resentfully. “It's ridiculous enough, this whole mad business—" “But I am not sarcastic,” she insist- ed with such sincerity that he opened his eyes in wonder. “Believe me, I am sorry for once it is I and not Rose whom you find locked up here! For, you eee, I am locked up, by way ot punishment—thanks to my having had H pity on you once too often—while my father decamps mysteriously for parts unknown—" “You don’t know where he’s gone, then?” “Do you?” she asked sharply. “In a general way. By special train to the West—" “Taking Rose?” “So I'm told.” The woman choked upon her anger, but quickly mastered it. “He shall pay for this!"” she assever- ated. “Your father? I wish him nothing more nor less than your enmity,” Alan assured her civilly. “But since it seems that he has gone, and Rose with him, it you'll forgive me, I think Il be going—" “Alone?” That one word, uttered with all the significance that this woman knew so well how to infuse into her tone, checked him suspiclously on the threshold. “Why—yes.” du voyage?” she suggested. “Oh—really!” he protested. She held up an arresting hand. “Lis- ten!” she begged. From the street below came the un- mistakable rattle of a policeman’s lo- cust on the sidewalk. “That damned maid;” Alan divined thoughttully. “The same,” Judith agreed with ominous calm. “Has it struck you that you may have some trouble getting away without my permission?” “I'm not so stupid as not to have | thought of that,” he countered. “Then be advised—and take me with you.” “In what capacity, enemy or—ally?” “As ally—you're right: we can't be friends—until we overtake that spe- clal train. After that, by your leave, T'll shift for myself.” “It's not such a bad notion,” he re- flected: “with you under my eye, you can’t do much to interfere—" “It I promise—" she suggested. “I'll take your word,” he agreed sim- ply. “But you're in for a lot of hard- ship, I'm afraid. The one way to catch up with your father is by aeroplane— and I've got one walting.” She nodded intently. “Don’t con- sider me as a woman when it comes to hardship,” she hinted obliquely. “I've no reason to, going on what I know of you.” “Give me one minute to find my coat and hat.” In less than that time she was at his side in the hallway. ; The police entered by the front door ::'thn two crept out of the area win- please? As CHAPTER XXXI. Via Alr Line. Not once in the course of the next sixteen hours but a thousand times Alan questioned (and, it will readily be allowed, with all excuses) his san- ity in permitting himselt to be in- fluenced to humor Judith's insistence and make her a party to this wild aerial erosscountry dash. Between whiles the plane flew fast quarters on the lower floor he would have thought the house empty. The silence of an abandoned place in- formed it all—below the upper story. ' But he was not to be satisfied with such negative evidence: he explored | the dwelling minutely, room by room.i story by story, passing with little ln-‘ mortal enemy, intent on one object only—to find Rose Trine, that onme woman whom he loved, or else make sure she was not there. He negotiated that last flight of steps which led to the topmost floor with extraordinary stealth, advised thereto by a sound, or rather a series of sustained sounds, which had there- tofore been inaudible to him. Possibly they had not till then existed; possibly the man servant whom he found snor- Ing in a chalr outside a closed door had not falen asleep and begun to snore until the moment when Alan set foot upon the lower step of that final asoent. Turning the head of the staire, Alan paused for a little, speculatively tent on this man who must somebow disposed of before he might solve ®ecret of that shyt and guarded and high, cutting a direct line, as the crow flies, athwart the eastern and western states. Chicago they raised as a smudge on the northern horizon about one o'clock In the afternoon; thereafter eome lit- tle time was lost in descents to ascer- tain the identity of the many railroad lines that criss-crossed the swimming | later, though still daylight, when they picked up the special train, flying like | & bunting across the levels. There was scant room for doubt i that it was the train they sought. Spe- | clals are not common. Moreover Alan contrived with considerable difficulty | to focus binoculars upon the rear plat- | form of the car, and caught a fugitive i glimpse of a white-coated figure with & black face that wae watching the bi- plane in the same manner, that is, with glasses. The man in the white coat, Alan as- sured himself, wag poeitively Barcus. And bardly had he comforted him- self with this assurance when his sar donic destiny struck the motor dumb. In response to his look of dashed inquiry the aviator merely shook a weary head and muttered the words: “Engine trouble” - (To Be Continued) “You wouldn't care for a companion | NOTICE OF SHERIFF’S SALE Notice is hereby given that I, as sherift of Polk county, Florida, un- der and by virtue of a certain execu- tion issued out of the circuit court in and for Polk county, Florida, dated the 6th day of February, 1915, in a cause therein pending wherein E.
