For upwards of threc-uuntters of nn hour of that golden morning which fol lowed the night of his return to Now York. Mr. I.av was permitted to oa teem himself .ie .nni lest of mortals. And Inasmuch as this Is not only longer uninterrupted term of happi ness than Is humanly common but la more of that emotion than ordinal lis) leavens tho whole of a lifetime. Alan was perhaps to be envied, even though disillusionment when It came was Hud; den, sharp, and to him unspeakably shocking a swift, unpresuged pHingij from sunlit peaks of supreme content to the black depth of a bleak Avert nus of despair. The beginning of the period wag synchronous with the slam of a taxi. cab door that shut away a superfluous, world from the company of two who loved. The sound spelled safety as well as) success In Alan's understanding. The car slipped smoothly away from the curb, pursued only by a little gust of semi-Ironic cheers from the little company of working men who had wit nessed as well as measurably partici pated In the putative elopement from the house of Trine. Vigilant for any Indication that their asion had had a witness In that strange home of deathless hatred. Alan watched It through tho little vindi'w In the back of the cab until s corner blotted out the vision of It; then with a sigh of relief sank down by the side of the woman to horn his every thought, Impulse and emotion were dedicated. "Rose!'' ho whispered, and tenta tively touched one of the hands that lay clenched In her lap. She responded with never a sign to Indicate consciousness either of his touch or his whisper. And reminding himself of the strain Imposed upon her by the experience through which they hud just passed, Alan excused her unresponsiveness on grounds of reaction, and for the time felt constrained to let his sweetheart Test and regain her normal peise: there was bliss enough for him In the consciousnis that he had woo her safely away, that nothing now mora than a short hour's drive u rnss town and by ferry across the Hudson stood between them and the marriage that should prove the consummation of all their trials . . . Uarrlng accident! Alan had too often suffered the pen alty of disappointment for over Indul ges in this falling of his for deprecl sting the unforeseen, not to make the mental reservation, "Uarrlng acci dents!'' with a little shiver of dread. Had any of Trlne's household been c-gnizaut of his daughter's escape, Alan argued, Interference must hav been Instant Deapl'e the reassuring aspect, tb preoccupation of his companion sc wore upon him that he was presently no longer able to refrain from disturb lng her. "Hose!" he begged again, closing band tenderly over hers. "Dearest girl, don't worry another instaut! Do calm yeurself: remember we are saft clung passional, ly to him. "Tell ma again that you li ve me!" she prayed. "Promise me you II never let anything come between us. Promise me, Alan promise me you'll be kind to me al ways, dear! ' "Can you doubt I will be kind f" be murmured reproachfully. "I am afraid . . ." shs whispered. "How could 1 be anything else, lov ing you ss 1 do?" "I am afraid . . ." "Why should I be unkind to you?" "It Isn't that. , . . I'm us afraid." "Of what?" "Of losing you." Hut tliut can nevsr be!" ' You can't be sure. What If you) were to llud you d been mistaken?" She caught lu i breath and added hastily- -That yeu didn't really lova me, I mean." "Oh, that's ridiculous!" "I can't be sura, Nothing In life la permanent. What Is love? Illusion ol the senses! What Is happiness? A wlllo'the -wisp! What Is life? A make belli e!" "Daareet!" He held her mors close ly still "You kra nervous snd over wrought You di.ii t know what you're saying.

For, fulling to lufluencs the taxi driver b shouted demands or threats, or to gain the least attention from Alan. 'I line's Mist lieutenant ab ruptly and sin piiHlugly look hla life In his hands and In DM wild bound i bridged the distance between the two I flying cars and Innded on tha taxi's 'running hoard. Stop!" M screamed madly. "Stop, I sy! You don't know what you're doing! Let me tell you " Ho got Hint Tar hut no farther. In tho muni' breath Alan had flung wide the door and was nt the fellow's throat. There was stun Ie of negligible duration, Mm lnphiit was In no way his aulagoulsl's match; wlthlu three seconds he threw out both hands, clutched hopelessly at the framework 'of the cab. and fell heavily to the atreet. The taxi sped on without pause, Ita driver deaf to the hulls of Innocent If Indignant hs landers. Alan pulled himself together and looked back iust li, lime to catch a glimpse of a num ber of loafers lifting Mnrrophat to hla feet and helping him to the sidewalk Inollned to believe that Mnrrophat hoped to stop the taxliab by depriv ing It, In course of time, of Ita fuel. And with this lu inltid ho was pi. Bl ly aurprlsed, a the enh took a corner, to ass Marrophgt'a car stop at that corner and Mnrrophat himself got down. The brow of a hill Intervened, shutting off sight of the hlaeltgiiaid as he knelt and lit a Match, It was the girl who gave (he al.nni. suddenly withdrawing her head I mm the win dow to scream nl Ainu "Hs's fired the gasoline!

"Jurnpl" he cried "Km- your life Jump I As soon as that llnino entities up wllh tho tank " Simultaneously the chauffeur, over hearing, shut off the power. The three gained the sidewnlk bare ly In time: the tiny It. ill of lliunes, al most Imperceptible In Mm sunlight, was not a yard from Hie Jet that spurt ed through tho bullet hole in the lank. In the flutter Of an eyelash the o plo sion followed. Had the enh been load ed with nitroglycerin Us deal ruction could have been no mure absolute. There was a roar . . and then a heap of amoklng i ulna Without waiting to admire Hie spec tacle, Alan caught the arm of the girl and hurried her up the si net. at tint same time calling lo the chauffeur to follow. And chance brought I hem to the next corner us Mother cub, lure chance to move aalda, hut aalted him so fiercely by the wrists that ha In stinctively lifted to protect himself, and she fairly threw him half a dotan rent from her. He brought up with a oraah against the wall even aa the door slummed behind tha girl. When Alan, the first to recover, gained the sidewalk, aha waa already In the taxlcab. Whatever reward aba had promised the man, he whipped hla machine away aa If from the fear of audden death. And darting from (he houae hard on the minister's heels, Mnrrophat leaped Into bla own car and, aa If he had not heard her threat ar received substantial proof of her earnestness, tore off In pursuit.
