In the Path of the Fast Express (Copyright, 1914, by Harold McGrath) CHAPTER Xi. When Jones received the tele gram that Florence was safe, the fron nerve of the man broke down. The suspense had been so keenly terrible that the sudden reaction left him almost hysterically weak. Three weeks of waiting, waiting Not even the scoundrel and his wife, who had been the principal actors in the abduction, had been found. From a great ship in mid- ocean they had disappeared. Doubt- less they had hidden among the im- Susan see any sign of weakness in him. So the reporter had found her, and she was safe and sound and on her way to New York? Know- ing by this time something of the reporter's courage, he was eager to learn bow the event had come about. When he had not heard a telephone message from Norton tn 48 hours, he had decided that the Black Hundred had finally suc- ceeded In getting hold of him. It had been something of a blow; for while he looked with disfavor upon that which was intended for his charge, he appreciated the fact that Norton was a staff to lean on, and had behind him all the power of the press, which included the priv- flege of going everywhere, even if one could not always get back. As he folded the telegram and put it into his pocket, he observed the man with the opera glasses over the way. He shrugged. Weill, let him watch till his eyes dropped out of his head; he would see only that whihe was Intended for his eyes. Still, it was irksome to feel | that, no matter when or where you| moved, watching eyes observed and chronicled these movements. Suddenly, not being devoid of a sense of dry humor, Jones stepped over to the telephone and called | up her highness the Princess Perigoff. | “Who is it?” | He was forced to admit, however | reluctantly, that the woman had a| marvelously fine speaking votce. | “It is Jones, madam.” | “Jones?” Mr. Hargreave's butler, madam.” | ‘0! You have news of Flor- ence? | “Yes.” It will be an embar-. } rassing day for humanity when some one invents a photographic; apparatus by which two persons at the two ends of the telephone may observe the facial expressions of| each other. | “What is it? Tell me quickly.” | “Florence has been found, and| she is on her way back to New| York. She was found by Mr. Nor ton, the reporter.” “Tam so glad! Shall I come up at once and have you tell me the whole amazing story?” “It would be useless, madam, for I know nothing except what I} learned from a telegram I have} just received. But no doubt some} time this evening you might risk a| call.” “Ring up the instant she returns. Did she say what train?” | “No, madam,” Ned Jones, smiling. | He hung up the reciver and | stared at the telephone as if he! would force his gaze in and| through it to the woman at the oth-| er end, Flesh and blood! wWell,! greed was stronger than that. | Treacherous cat! Let her play; let her weave her nets, dig her pits The day would come, and it was not far distant, when she would find that the mik-eyed mongoone | was just as deadly as the cobra, | and far more cunning. The heads of the Black Hundred must be destroyed. Those were the orders. What good to denounce them, to send them to a prison from which, with the aid of money and a tremendous secret political pull, they might readily find their} way out? They must be exterminat ed, as one kills off the poisonous | migrants, who, for a little money, would have fooled all the officers on board. There was no doubt in Jones’ mind that the pair had landed safely at Madrid As for Susan, she did have hys- terics. She went about the room, walling and laughing and wringing her hands, You would have thonght by her actions that Flor- ence had just died. The sight of her stirred the saturnine Ips of the butler into a smile, But he did not remonstrate with her. In fact, he rather envied her freedom in emotion. Man cannot let go in that fashion; it 1s a sign of weak- ne: and he dared not let even plague rats of the Orient. A wom an? In the law of reprisal there was no sex | Shortly after the telephone epl sode (which rather puzzled the princers) she received a wire from Braine, which announced the fact that Florence and Jim had escaped and were coming to New York on train No. 25, and advising her to meet the train en route. She had to fly about to do It. When Capt. Bannock released | Braine, he had been in no enviable |frame of mind. Tricked, fooled by | the girl, whose mind was as un- |clonded as his own!

The fugitives would make directly for the railroad, and thither he went at top speed, to arrive ten minutes too late. “Free!” said Florence, the| train began to Increase its speed. Norton reached over and patted her hand. Then he sat back with a sudden shock of dismay. He dived a hand Into a pocket, oO an other and another. The price of the telegram he had sent to Jones was all he had in the world; and he had borrowed that from a friendly stoker. In the excitement he had forgotten all about such a contingency as the absolute need of money “Florence, I'm afraid we're go ing to have trouble with the con. ductor when he comes “Why?

The three of them were flung violently to the side of the car amid splintering wood, tinkling glass, and the shriek of eteel against ateel. A low wail of horror rose and died away as the car careened over on its side. The three were rendered unconscious and were huddied to gether on the floor, under the up rooted chairs. Vroon had escaped with only a slight cut on the hand from flying glass. He climbed over the chairs and passengers with a single object in view. He saw that all three he was interested in were insensible. He quickly examined them and saw that they had not received serious injuries. He had but Iittle time. The princess and Norton would have to take their chances with the other passengers. Resolutely he stooped and lifted Florence in his arms and crawled out of the car with her.
