Ho was face, to face with ao exceedingly handsome man. "Molyneux you!" "Hush! for heaven's Bake!" expostu lated the other, turning pale. "Ah! You are watched aa usual?

A procession of every conceivable kind of carriage rolled along the King s Road, liy tbo Brunswick lawns, tearing along the front at a mad speed, came a powerful motor car. 1 he driver was a man, and at his Bide, closely veiled. Bat a lady scarcely perceiving the rushing car, Oeoffrey crossed In front of It. A lou J shout and a furious bellow from a horn made him look up as be dashed for- wa.-J. Surely he knew the driver? And that veiled lady? Something In the poise of her body suggested a same but no, be told himself that be was half sill. nearly dropping with fatigue. Geoffrey staggered into his rooms. His valet met him just in time to save blm from falling. For at that mo ment bis senses left him, and be lost consciousness. oo It was an hour before the accident which sank the Spray la six fathoms off lirlghton beach. Richard Molyneux, ex-army officer, gamester, spy, duellist, waited In much perturbation la Geoffrey a private sit ting room at tho Hotel C Molyneux noticed that the space be tween the portico grounds and the distant sea was patrolled by a gen- "Again!" growled Molynoiix.

A we-drcsed and beautiful figure entered tho room. Seeing Molyneux, ho tittered a ry of antonlnhmcnt Molyneux, whono feelings never bw trayed him, turned to tho servant and diHtiiU"'d blm with a couplo of words. Then ho faced tbo newcomer; ho took her hnndx; ho looked long and Ardent ly Into her face, which paled, thca ourtier with crlniKon. . "C'liilrc! You hero? After all these yours:" Tho woman trembled. In ft moment tho deep of n. priKfilon she believed nhi had sealed forever, broke forth, bho clung, almos'.t fainting, to his broud shoulders.

"Didn't yrm know that be was a friend of mine?" "A friend to you?" Claire disengag ed herself from thoso strong arms. "I ni . blm two hours back. He promised to hide m." "To hldo you? The voice rang out In alarm. "True enough." Molyneux lauehed bitterly. "Come here," said he, drawing her to the win dow. "You seo that man ab, there aro tbreo of them. Trapped!" Forgetful of everything save hie dancer, Clalro Anhbcrry clung to Moly. neux s arm. "Who are they, Richard? W ho arc those men? ' she demandou Imperiously. 'Tollce officers. Iet me go. dear one.

"I go with you." said Clalro steadily. "I shall striko northward Into the Dover road. If poHHlble, and quit Eng land to-night," bo answered. "Where you go, I go also." eald Claire. They ran from the room. The ca waited at the rear of tho hotel. A minute later they were flying like a gate uown tne Kings Road. "You mean to tell me.

I cannot tight (igaiust rule. I have married Richard Molyneux. Wo shall live abroad. Ho has promised me many things. Forglvo me, tJoeffrey; or If you cannot forgive, forget me." Geoffrey rose after a Ion? 6l!pnc. Ho turned Ma steps toward tho Old Steyuo, but ho had not covered a hun dred yards before he saw her Verna sitting on a chair on tho Brunswick lawns. She was loo'-Ing out to sea. A rrgeous sunset had purpled the wa ters of tho channel. Geoffrey went up to her. soft! v. slow ly, so that she did not hear his ap proach. And, leaning over her chair. suddenly, he whispered in her car: "Verna, it was not cood-bye after all!" LIOXAGAIXST TIGER. Greater Bravery Shown By the Smaller Animal. The owner of a one-ring circus trav eling through tbo West this summer fouud himself In Bore straits through tho death of a much advertised lion which was the star attraction of the show. With a fertility born of ne cessity be advertised in the nearby papers for a "brave man." A good, strapping Irlsnman applied for the po sition. "My pet lion has Just died," eald the showman, "and I will give you $5 a day if you w ill robe yourself la his skin and go through bis tricks. All you have Is two performances a day; cash money." The Irishman readily assented to the proposition and being of bright wit and intelligence soou learned all that was required of him. The first afternoon of the show he went through the paces well, enclosed In a large Iron cage and occasionally emitting a roar to startle the guileless countrymen. In the evening the man ager thought be would cap the climax by announcing to the audience that ho would place the lion in the tiger s cage. On hearing this the son of Erin was terrified beyond comprehension However, with trembling steps he went Into the tiger's cage, but at once crept up Into a corner, praying to himself. "Faith, God help me la this terrible trouble," he moaned. "Kape away from me the scratches of the big cat.

To get lost in the woods is not an uncommon occurrence, and what to do tinder the circumstances is so well told by Horace Kephart in "Field and Stream" that readers fond of camnlnB and woodcraft will be interested: "Ibe first thine that one should do when L realizes that he has lost his bearings in a wild,, country is to stop and sit down. Don't take one more step until you have recovered your wits so that you can trace on the cround with a stick your probable course since leaving the camp, and mark on it the estimated location of such water courses and other landmarks as you nave passeu. j nen make up your mind that if you must stay cut all night, alone In the woods, It is no killing matter, but likely an interesting ad venture. Having recovered your men tal balance, take note of the lay of the land around you. the direction of its dralnaee, the fliaracter of its vegeta tion, and the hospitalities that it offers to a night-bound traveler, in the way of drinking-water, sound down wood, natural shelter and browBe. Then blaze a tree oa four sides make big blazes that can be seen from Any di rection. Ho this even though there be several hours of daylight ahead. And al though you have no present Intention of staying here; for you do know that tnis spot is only so many hours from camp by back trail, and that you may nave good reason to return to It "Now try to get an outlook over the surrounding country. Ia flat woods this will be difficult If you can risk climbing a tall tree do bo. Select one that you can climb, and having gained your outlook, note the compass direc tion of watercourses and other land marks, mapping them on a bit of paier, for a lost man's memory Is treacherous. The courses of small streams show where the main valley lies. Decide where to go. take the com pass direction, note how the sua strikes It and descend. "Now, as you travel, make bush marks by making blazes on trees or breaking a shrub here and there along the trail, so you will easily follow your way back should you have to pass the night ia the woods."
