C H A P T E R X V I . — (C ootlaued.) the driver, sprang i s Fortunately an other had Just discharged its fare, and was still w elting by the curb. Tom ran up to it, “ Keep that red cab In sight,” hr said. “ W hatever you do, don't let it get away from yon.“ The driver, who was n man o f few words, nodded, and whipped op his horse. It chanced that this same home was either a faster or a fresher one than that which bore the young merchant. The red cab rattled down Fleet street, then dou bled sn its tracks, and coming back by ' St Paul's plunged iu I o a labyrinth o f side streets from which it eventually emerged upon the Thames embankment. In spite o f all its efforts, however, it was unable to shake off iu pursuer. The red cab journeyed on down the Embankment, and arroas one o f the bridge«, Tom ’s able charioteer still keeping only n few yards behind it. Among the narrow streets on the Surrey aide Emm’s vehicle palled up at a public house. Tom waited patiently outside until he should reappear. In a very few minutes young Girdle- stone came oat again, accompanied by a tall, burly n u , with a bushy red beard, who was miserably dressed. H e was kelp- ad into the cab by Kara, and the pair drove off together. Tom waa more bewil dered than ever. W ho wan this fellow, gad what connection had he with the mat ter on hand? Lika a sleuth hound the pursuing haadaom threaded its why through the torrent o f vehicles which pour down the London streets, never fo r one moment toning eight o f its quarry. Pres ently they wheeled into the W aterloo n o d , close to the W aterloo station. The red cab turned sharp round and rattled Up the incline which leads to the main line. Torn sprang out. tossed n sovereign to the driver, and followed on foot at the top o f his speed. A s he ran Into the station Kara Girdle atone and the red-bearded stranger were Immediately In front o f him. There was n great swarm o f people all around, for aa it waa Saturday there were special trains to the country. Tom waa afraid o f losing sight o f the tw o men in the crowd, so he elbowed his way through as quickly as be could, end got immediately behlnn them — so dose that he could have touched them with his hand. They were approaching tbs booking office when Kara glanced round and saw his rival standing behind bias H e whispered something to hip half-drunken companion. T h e latter turned, and with an inarticnlate cry, like n wild beast, rushed at the young man. and seised him by the throat with his braw ny hands. ' It Is one thing, however, to cntch n a m by the threat, and another to retain that grip, especially «Then your antagonist happens to be an International football player. T o Tom this red-bearded rough, who charged him so furiously, was noth ing more than the thousands o f bujl-head- ed forwards who had come upon him like tbonderbolts In tbe days o f old. W ith the ease begotten by practice he circled his assailant with hia long muscular arms, and gave a quick convulsive jerk in which every ainew off bis body participated.

Hie fear« prosed to be ooly too well founded, for when at last he succeeded in wresting himself from the constable’s clutches he could find no trace o f his ene- nles. A do sen bystanders gare a doaen different accounts o f their mo remen ta. Ho rushed from one platform to another over all the great station. H e could hare tom his hair at the thought o f the way la which he had allowed them to , slip through his lingers. It waa fu lly aa hoar before he finally abandoned the search, and acknowledged to himself that he had been hoodwinked for the third time, and that a long week would elapse before he could hare another chance o f solving the apystery. H e turned at last sadly and reluc tantly away from the station and walked across to W aterloo bridge. It waa some consolation, however, that he had k^d one fair crack at Bara Qirdlestooe. H e glanc ed down at bis knuckles, which were raw and bleeding, with a mixture o f satisfac tion and disgust. W ith a half .smile he put his injured hand in his pocket, and looking up once more became aware that a red-faced gentleman was approaching him in a highly excited manner. I t could not be said that the red-faced gentleman walked, neither could It be said tkat the red-faced gentleman ran. H is made o f progmaetew might beat be describ ed aa a succession o f short end unwieldy jumps, which, as he was a rather stout gentleman, appeared to indicate some very urgent and pressing need for hurry. H is face was bathed in perspiration, and his collar had become flaccid and abb pelves from the same cause. I t appeared to Tom, as he gased at those rubicund, though anxious, features, that they should be well known to him. Th at gloaey hat, those speckleas gaiters, and tbs long frock coal, surely they could belong to none other than the gallant M ajor Tobias Clut- terbuck. lste o f H er M ajesty’s 110th o f the Line. As the old soldier approached Tom he quickened his pace, ao that when he even tually came up with him’ he could only puff and pant and hold out a soiled letter. “ Read !” he managed to ejaculate. 1 Tom opened the letter nad glanced his eye over the contents, with m face which had turned as pale aa the major’s waa red. When he finished it he turned w ith -| out a word and began to run in the direc tion from which be had come, the major follow ing as quickly as his breath would permit. C H A P T E R X V II.

W ith the courage o f de spair, she came straight down to the ave nue to the note spot where escape seemed possible. "Uood-mornin', my,“ cried Stevens, as she approached. You don’t look extra but you ain’t aa bud as your good guardian made ipe think. You don’ t seem to feel no difficulty in get- tia’ about.“ “ T h ere Is nothing tbe matter w ith me,” tbe g irl answered earnestly. “ I assure you there la not. My mind la aa sound aa you n .” “ Th at’s what they .all says,” sold the ex-warder with a chuckle. “ But it is ao. I cannot, stay in that house longer. I cannot, M r. Stevens, I cannot! M y guardian w ill murder me. H e means to. I rend it in hia eyes. He a f good as tried this morning. T o die without one word fb those I love— with out any explanhtion o f what has passed — that would give a sting to death.“ “ W ell, if this ain’t ou tragis!” cried the one-eyed man, “ p e rfe c tly o u tra g i»!

She shrunk away from him, and thou n sadden thought min ed her, she turned and ran through the woods aa fast aa her feeble strength weald allow. The instant that she was out o f eight, Stevens very deliberately and care fu lly t o r e up the little slip o f paper with which she had entrusted him, and m at tered the pieces to the wind. K ate Hsreton le d as quickly as ake could through the wood, stumbling over the brambles and crashing through the briara, regardless o f pain o r scratches or anything else which could stand between her and the possibility o f safety. She soon gained the shed and managed to mount on the top o f It by the aid o f the barrel. Craning her neck, she could see the long dusty lane, with the bare, w ith ered hedges upon either side, and the “ S o , /John, waa she though) Maybe this is a private rood and w e have ao right to be on it.“ “ 8 he gave a holler aa i f some one eras a-hurt in’ o f her," said John with dods- "T h e o w e ll go back,“ said tbe lady, and turned the pony round. Hence it came about that just aa Kata was descending with a sod heart from her punt o f observation, she was electr ified to see tbe brown pony reappear, and corns trotting round tbe curve o f tbe lane with a rapidity which waa altogether foreign to that .quadruped's usual habits. Indeed, tbe girl tam ed so very white at the sight, and her face assumed such an expression o f relief and delight, that the Indy who was apptoaching saw at ones that It waa an common matter which had caused her to summon them. “ W hat is it, my dear?” she cried, pull ing op when she came abreast o f tha place. H er good, kind heart was touched already by tbe pleading expression upon tbe girl’s sweet face. “ Ob, madam.” said Kate, in a low, rapid voice. “ I am shut up in these grounds, and shall be murdered unlega help cornea” “ Be murdered!” cried tbe lady in tip pony carriage, dropping back 1 n her »rat and raising her hands in astonishment “ I t is only too true,” K a te said, trying to speak concisely and clearly so as to enforce conviction, but feeling n choking sensation about her throat, as though an hysterical attack were Impending. “ My guardian has shut me up here for soma weeks, and I firmly believe that be m ill never let me out alive.

W hat shall I do fo r pa per?“ She looked eagerly round and spied a small piece which lay among the brush wood. W ith a cry o f Joy she picked it out. I t was very coarse and very dirty, but she managed to scrawl a few lines upon It. describing her situation and ask ing for aid. “ I w ilj w rite the address upon the back,” she said. “ When yea get to Bedeworth you must buy an en velope and aak the poetoffiee people to copy tbe address on it.“ , *’ I bargained to poet it for tbe Geneva,” be aqld. “ I didn’t bargain to buy envel opes add copy addressee.
