The girl stopped him pasionately “We must not stop to talk about that now—there isn't time. We must hurry, dear, and get away before auntie finds out and comes after me." "Do you think she'll come here?’ he asked slowly, while his forehead wrinkled, “I am afraid Sadio wil tet! her!” “Sadie—your cousin? Him." He made no effort to conceal that he was thinking rapidly. “Perhaps you'd rather postpone it at |ter all, Travers?” she sald quickly, while the color rushed to her cheeks and her Mps trembled. “If you only | thought best I'd like to te!l auntle what {I'm going to 40.” | 'No," he retorted. ‘We can't do that —we've gone over all this before. It must be thia way or not at all, Which is it to be?" “I've given you my word, you know," she said under her breath. “That's my brave little girl!” he orted with a burst of feeling, reaching out his arm to embrace her. Crash! Bang! Biff! Slam! Bam! There burst into the room Officer 646, entangled in the lid and straps of an empty trunk. It was a steamer trunk and not very heavy, but Travers Glad- win was far from adept in baggage smashing. He had wasted so much time in hunt- ing for the trunk that he had nt to make up for the delay by exec what resembled an aeroplane descent. At the final twist of the staircase the trunk had mastered him and charged with him into the room. As he lay sprawled on the floor with a foollsh grin on his face, the discomfted lover turned on him with a votce of fury “OmMocer, what the deuce ts the matter with you?" The intense savagery of hin tone made the girl shrink away from him and turn pale.
