Whatever document or packet Ballard had so carefully guarded must now bo in the heap of papers in his conqueror's hands. The Englishman's sensitive finger-tips could find no trace of a secret pocket or of valuables sewed into coat, waistcoat or shirt. He rose to his feet, bundling his spotls into an inner pocket of his own’ coat, As he rose he saw a policeman turn Into Readé street from the west and ad- vance lelsurely toward them. Ballard, too, his senses more fully re- turning, atruggled to a sitting position, his eyes, under the battered wreck of his derby. fixed dazedly on The English- map. Clearly there was no time to be lost. The Englishman walked toward Broad- way as rapidly as he dared, trusting to fuck that the policeman was too far away to take In the situation, Ballard, however, the mists clearing from his throbbing brain, had scrambled to his feet, and\was stagger ing in dizzy pursuit of the maruader. “Help! yelled Royce thickly, The Hoglishman quickened his pace. “Help! Police!” The policeman broke into a run and reached the injured man, Royce pointed toward the now flecing Englishman, and gasped out e few words that made lear the situation to the officer, “Stop!” shouted the policeman, draw- ing his revolver and rushing along in The Englishman's wake. “Stop or I'll shoot!"" ‘The clift-like sides of the dead thor- oughfare awoke ahd ‘re-echoed to the roar of the biuecoat’s .44.

As there was no “next car’ in sight, the motorman, for a wonder, slackened speed, grudgingly slowing up suM- ciently to allow the fugitive to leap aboard. As The Englishman's feet touched the lowest step, conductor Tang the bell twice, and the oar again bounded forvgard. As it did 50, @ Broadway policeman, who had heard the raps of his col- league's night stick and had arrived in time to see The Englishman's fleeing form, but too late to stop his boarding the car, shouted to the conductor to stop, At the same moment the conductor caught sight of the first policeman and Royce as they emerged into Broadway, not fifty feat away from the car. A glance at the panting, Sil-clad figure on the rear platform beside him was enough for the Metropolitan employee, With one hand he jerked the bell vio~ lently, With the other he collared The Englishman. The car slowed down with a far and Royce and the two policemen, sighting The Englishman, bounded toward thelr prey, Other pe- destrians, springing up as by magic from the seemingly vacant thorough- fare, folned in the rush, ‘Tho Englishman was in perhaps the tightest fix of his career.

The Englishman jerked the bell twice. With a lureh and a heave, the car sprang forward. Tha, motorman had heard the disturbance, byt had been unable, from his post, in that Instant's interval, to determine the cause, Least of all did he suspect that his colleague was in trouble. If there had been a row of any sort, he thought, the con- ductor would come through the car and tell him, In the mean time he heralded with delight the order to start. For they were lat nd lateness meant loss of pay and of sleep. The foremost policeman (he who had iscovered Royce's plight) sprinted, seized the rear rail and swung himself to the lowest step of the platform, Before he could fairly balance him- self a well-directed kick in the chest sent him spinning into tho street.
