He caught her, afd held her to him erushingly . “You're safe——still safe. ‘What a night!” He buried his face in her hair. “But they haven't got you.

Bristow was tramping up and down the drive below, She saw him stop short and turn his head toward the road in the direction opposite to that which he himself had come. She caught at the same time the thrum- ming of another motor. “Who's that?” Bristow exclaimed. He had not long to wait for his answer . The car, a physician's run- about, turned in at the gate and drove up. A thin, elderly man got out and stepped toward Bristow, “Ah, Dr. Creamer; you?" Bristow reverted to his more suave and cour- teous manner, although there was in- terrogation in his tone. “I see you got ahead of me," said the other. *‘Was it a serious injury?"” “Injury?” Bristow stared at him. “I don't know what you're talking about.
