He required no proof beyond her simple word, Doctor-like, though, he kept men. tally buttressing his decision with ar- guments from the books, and it struck him that he had read only a day or two bhefore a passage which scemed to have a direct application He reached over to his book-shelf to take down the volume he wanted, and as he did so, a folded, yellow plece ot newspaper dropped out—that frag- ment of Sunday supplement, He had thrust it in there as a book-mark. Spreading it out on the table, he studled its array of portraits, There could no longer be any doubt. The hair was arranged differently, but the features, the contour, the expressions were the same as Verna Copley's, CHAPTER XIV. Throughout the night Kelsey sat in his chair. The thought of going to bed did not even occur to him. ‘On only one point could he think clearly, or come to a decision—he must see the girl without delay, at the earllest possible moment. He ‘must warn her to be on her guard, to question every move or suggestion of those about her. As the day broke, he eagerly scanned the morning sky, and thanked fortune that it was fair. If the weather were rainy or threatening, she would not be allowed on the grounds. The sun, though, was rising on a model June day, rare enough for any poet's praise. He knew that there was no chance of her appearing before 10 ' o'clock; and so after breakfast he went to the office and pretended to be deep in his regearch work, although his eyes were constantly seeking the clock. On the stroke of 10, he hurried out, but only to find her closely attended by the nurse who had been with her the day before. The same thing was true at 11, and again at 12. But when he made his next recon- noissance, his heart leaped. Hope, a she called her now to himself, was sitting alone on the stone bench where he had talked to her on the day be- fore. She was writing on her pad as usual, and the nurse had turned her attention to a more difficult patient. Kelsey sat down a foot or two away trom her, and pretended to watch the men pulling down the wall. “The ‘girl went on scribbling, her face turned a little away from Kel- sey; but as he seated himself she be- gan talking low and fast. “Let me talk first,” she said. ‘“I've got to make clear to you my plan for getting away, while I have the chance. Dr. Bristow is going to town this evening?" Oh," yes,” he answered. *“I heard him on the telephone this morning telling the chairman that he would be at the meeting without fail.” “Then we can manage it!” Tehre was a thrill in her voice. ‘Listen.” And while she scribbled, she un- folded to him a plan so simple and yet so supremely audacious that it took his breath. Before she had half finished, he had caught her idea and was on fire with it. He drew his cap down over his eyes, and clasping his hands behind Good 1o the lnst dop more thana slogan to the man whose travels have taught him how bad coffee can taste; it is a downright state- ment of fact. .f\_‘{ lils head, stretohed his feet out lastry The nurse came toward them, and | With & swift movement, slipped her pencil heneath her on the bheneh Bhe looked nervously about and then a8 the woman stood hefore her, she glanced up with troubled appeal “I've lost my peneil,” she said 1 Was writing a beautiful story, but what ean I de without a penell ?* Kelsey, as if he hadn't noticed her before, took a pencil from his pocket and handed it to her. Bhe thanked him and began to write again “She'll keep that up for the nurse smiled at Kelsey Not a w out of her, and never moving from the spot Lucky for me, too. Her sister Is on the sick list and I've got charge of Verna, but my hands are full this afternoon with Miss Susy Doane, Bhe's seeing mashers peeping out from behind every bush, trying to flirt with her.” She was interrupted by a soream. The patient she had just left was backing away in terror from a passing gardener “All right, Miss Susy,” called nurse, “He won't speak to you be right there to protect you," She turned to the girl on the bench. hours," the " KELSEY SNATCHED THE HY- PODERMIC AND DROVE THE NEEDLE INTO BRISTOW'S ARM. Then come for you, won't you?” she hurried away, “There's only one thing that bothers me,” Hope resumed the discussion of their plan, “and that's the question of time. They force us to go in at 6 o'clock, you know, and you may not be able to do your part so soon. It not, I must stay behind.” “I will never leave without you, Kelsey declared firmly. They talked a moment or two longer, and then Kelsey, giving a start as if he had just awakened from a reverie, got up and walked back to the house. His sleepless night, the full realiza- tion of the dangers that threatened Hope, the feeling that he was about to embark on the most momentous adventure of his life had left him haggard and pale. Back in the office again, he worked steadily for a few minutes, and then dropped his pen and pressed his hands to his temples with an uncontrollable groan. ‘“Something the matter, Doctor?"” Bristow's secretary, who was working across the room, looked up sympathe- tically.

Hut again and again during the af- ternoon, he writhed in unmistakable rain, After the secretary left at b o'clock, he made hardly any pretense at writing, but sat with his head In his hands, twisting about in his chair us each fresh paroxysm selzed him, At about ten minutes of six Bris- tow came In, wearing a cap and a motor coat over his evening clothes, ready to start for town; and he as once noticed the condition of his col- laborator. “Wha asked wrong, man?"' he quickly. “You look done up.” One of my ghastly neuralgia at- tacks.” Kelsey tried to suppress an- other groan. “I'm afraid I haven't been able to accomplish much this afternoon. The darned thing has been growing worse all day, and al- though I've tried all my usual reme- dies, 1 don't secem to get on top of it. I'm wondering if you will give me a shot of morphine—a good stiff one?"” “Surely."” Bristo® lald down his gloves, and passing into a lavatory just off the office, prepared his hypo- dermic. At last, the Doctor was back. sey had already taken off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeve, and now he apathetically extended his left arm. But as Bristow bent over to apply the needle, Kelsey's right shot up in a quick, wicked smash to the Doctor's jaw. A good boxer in his college days, he had never driven to the but- ton with a better aim. N Bristow's head snapped badk, and lifted fairly off his feet, he wentiback- ward to land across a leather douch several feet away, where he iay dead to the world. Kelsey snatched the hypodermic from the floor, and jerking open the cuff of Bristow's shirt, pushed it back and drove the needle into his arm. “There, I guess that will hold you for a while!" As ‘he straightened up, the clock was on the stroke of six, This was the hour when the nurses and attend- ants would be shepherding in the pa- tients, and the veranda would be de- serted. With one vindictive glance at the unconsclous Bristow, Kelsey walked out of the office and locked the door behind him. There was no one about. Even the chauffeur was not in sight, having left the big, gray car in the roadway, while he strolled around to the side of the house to engage in bandinage with out of the attendants. Kelsey's eyes swept the lawn. Hope was nowhere to be seen, For one terrible second, he thought the game was up—and then he saw her. She was clinging to one of the porch pil- lars, obstinately vesisting all the efforts of the nurse to disengage her. Kelsey took a step toward them, and the nurse saw him. “Do help me, Dr. Kelsey,” she begged. “I don’t know what's got into her. She's usually so amenable, but now she refuses to go in. T've sent for her sister; but maybe, if you'll speak to her, she'll listen.” Kelsey waved the woman to stand aside, and laid his hand on Hope's Kel- arm. As if ylelding to a superior will, she let go of the pillar; and with the manner of soothing her, he led her along the veranda. “Now!"” he said when they reached the steps leading down to the drive; and catching her hand, he rushed her down, and swung her up into Bris- tow's big car. As he leaped in after her, she grasped the starting lever, threw in the gears, and they were off. Across the lawn she drove, over the flower-beds and low shrubbery, head- ing straight for the gap in the wall.
