We of this oen- tury have become so com- pletely accustomed td com muntcating instantaneously with any part of the world that this tmpossi- bility, which our grandfathers never dreamed of questioning, seemed to us incredible. “There are two courses of action open to us,” said the doctor, pres: ently. “One {s, to go home and go to bed. The other is, to get hold of an automobile and try to get out to Oak Ridgo to-night. Our getting there at all is problematical with the roads in their present condition.” Ashton whirled round and spoke to Mallory, “Go and tolephone to the nearest garage for an automobile: quick!” he said, Then, addressing ua, he went on: “There ts no neces- aity for your going, Doctor McAlister, or Mr. Phelps, oither, But Mallory and I can’t afford to waste a minute.” “You've wasted one already,” sald whe doctor, “telling Mallory to go into that telephone boot Ashton, heartily cursing own stupidity, darted off after his mes- r. “I think I'll go along with them,” @aid I to the doctor, “Just on the ehance of my being of some service." his He laughed. “Are you thinking you'll leave me behind?

Let's lose no time.” My memory of the next two hours Is one of relleved discomfort and con- stantly increasing apprehension. We bumped along rutty, fll-paved streots, which were, after all, more practicable than the unsoratched glare of asphalt. Wo skidded across street car tracks and had a dozen of what in normal times we should have called narrow escapes, in thé first dozen minutes. Aftor that, we stopped counting. By rare good luck our chauffeur waa of exactly the right temper for his job. He was audacious to the point of reck- lesness, and yet skillful enough to avoid each time by the morest hair's breadth, the disaster, to the edge of which his daring had led him. With all his skill he must have been in real danger a great many times, but I don’t think any of us thought of It. The excitement of the chase was mounting in our veina We kept an eye on our watches and an- other out of the windows of the Itmou- sine for possible landmarks which might reveal the rato of our progress. “He must be there by this time,” said Ashton at last with @ shudder, “I wish I knew that Green and Ben- son were still alive.” “I tell you he won't kill,” eald the doctor, “not tf he can help it. He'll do it If they succeed tn forcing bis hand; that I admit. But his own cleverness ts the greatest safeguard those two men could have—his cleverness and their stupidity. “I wish I shared your confidence,” eaid Ashton, “Think a minute what the situation sald the doctor. “Suppose we had him now, eafely, in our hands.
