"Yes?" All the color had left her

"Don't mean to alarm you. my dear,
but Mr. Glllett thinks, the convict
might be concealing himself some
where In the house; indeed, that It Is
quite likely. So we ure making a little
tour of Inspection."

"it Is really quite unnecessary. I have
been through them myself."

attempt at Jocoseness. "But thought

"What does It mutter?"
True! What did mutter to her?

"Your mime, of course. Is not John
Steele? What vW It."
He looked at her -beyond, to a

It portended, aroused her.

When a few minutes later the girl
hastily re-entered the room she curried
on her arm n tnnti's cont and hnt. Her

caught only the rustling of the heavv

She became aware of a throbbing In
her head, a dull pain. and. mechanical
ly seating hcself near one of the ta
bles, she put up her band nnd started
to draw the pins from her hair, but
soon desisted. Again sho began to
think, more clearly this time, more
poignantly, of all she had experienced,
listened to, that ulght.
She. a Wray. sprung from a loug line
of proud, illustrious folk! And he?
The breath of tho roses outside was
wafted upward. Her eyes, deep, self
scolllug, rested without seeing on a
small dark object on a handkerchief
on the table. -What was It to her If

Something fell from the velvet cov '
ering in her hand. She was vuguely
aware of It gleaming there on the cold
white marble, a small disk a gold
coin. Then slowly she took it ns If
asking herself how It came there on
her handkerchief, which, she dimly
remembered, had been lying on the
floor. Some one, of course, must' have
picked up the handkerchief, but no one
had been in the room slnco sho bad no

More closely she scrutinized It, the
shining disk on her rosy palm. A King
George gold piece! Above tho mon
arch's face and head with its flowing
locks appeared a tiny bole, ns If some
one had once worn It. Beneath, Just
discernible, was the date, 17C2. She
continued to regard It, then looked
again at the bit of velvet near by. It
had been wrapped In that carefully
for what reason. Like something
more than what It seemed a mere
gold piece.
"1702." Why, even as she gazed nf
tho cloth, felt It, did the figures seem
to reiterate themselves in her brain?
"1702." There could be nothing espe

The blue eyes seemed searching

sho sought. "I gave It to the convict
on tho Lord Nelson." She almost
whispered the words. "The brave,
bravo fellow who sacrificed his life
for mine." ner warm fingers closed
softly on tho coin. Sbo seemed wrap

"Then how" Her brows knitted;

wero dark now with excitement
"Him? Him?" she repeated. "Un

A sudden shot from the park rang
out. Tbo colu fell from the girl's hand.
Other shots followed. She ran out
upon the balcony, a stifled cry on her
lips. She stared off, but only the
darkness met her gaze.
. . .
Not far from one of the entrances to
Regent's park or the hum of Camden
Town's main artery of traffic lay a lit
tlo winding street which because of
its curving lines had long been known
as Spiral row. into this byway there
turned late in tne nigni oi uie setuuu
day after that memorable evening at
Strathorn nouse n man who. looking
quickly around him. paused before the
closed gate of one of tho dwellings
After a moment's hesitation tho man
pulled tho bell, waited for some time,
but no response came. When from the
end of tne street he heard n vehicle
coming rapidly toward him he more
firmly Jerked at tho handle of tho bell
This tlmo -his. efforts wero successful.
A glimmer as from -a candle appeared
at the front door, and a few minutes
later a dark form came slowly down
the graveled walk.
"Good evening. Dennis." said the
caller. Tho faint gleam of the candle
re Baled the drowsy nnd unmistakably
Celtic face of blm he addressed, a man
past middle age. who regarded the
newcomer with a look of recognition.
-I r-i afraid I've interrupted your slum-bwi-

which to arrive."

Tho other Rilontiy followed, walking
In the mnnner of one tired and worn.
"My mnRter did not come bnck with
you, sir, from Strathorn House?"
"No; Captain Forsythe's gone on to
Germany."
Tho servant's glance rested now in
one surprise on tho newcomer's-garments
a gamekeeper's well worn coat
and cap and on the dusty, almost
shabby looking shoes.
'A wnger," said John Steele, noting
the old orderly's expression. "From
Strathorn Honso to London by foot
within n -given time, don't you know.
Fell In with some rough customers last
night who thought my coat and hat
better than these."
"I beg ypur pardon, sir. but" The
inn's apprehensive look fastened It
self on n dark stain on the cont near
the shoulder.
"Just winged me a scratch." replied
John Steele, with an indifferent shrug,
sinking into a chair near tho Dre.
Which burned low.
"One moment. Dennis." John Steelo
leaned back. The dying embers re
vealed n haggard face. His eyes half
closed ns If from lack of sleep, but
immediately opened again. "You
spoke of expecting me. How." be
said, stretching out his legs, "did you
know"
"Sure. sir. by your luggage. It ar
rived with my master's heavier boxes
that he didn't take along with him
over the wuther."
His luggage there where no one
knew could have ktiown he was go
ing! The place he had selected under
what he had considered propitious cir
cumstances as a haven, a refuge, where
he might find himself for a brief peri
od comparatively safe, could he .reach
It, turn in without being detected!
This Inst he believed he had success
fully accomplished, and then to be told
by the man All John Steele's ex
cuses for comlug in this unceremoni

Who could have guessed that he would

tho next street The visitor decided
on the' former chamber. He carefully
closed the blinds and drew across the
window the dark, heavy lurtnlus. This
would answer very well. Excellent
accommodations for a man whose
owu chambers in the city were now in
the hands of renovators thp painters,
the pnperhangers. the plumbers. And
the back room? He paused ns If
considering the servant's assumption
of his purpose in comlug hither. He
might as well let the fellow think.
No one must know where he was
under nny circumstances. His voice
sounded almost Jocular, at singular
vnrlauce with the heaviness, the weari
ness of his face. He. the old servant,
had been u Roldler. knew how to ful
fill, then, a request or an order. Some
thing crinkled in the speaker's hund,
pnssed to the other, who was now
busying himself with the bath. The
man's moist fingers did not hesitate
to close on the note.
Half an hour later John Steele, clad
In his dressing gown, sat alone near
tho flro In his room. Every sound had
ceased save at intervals a low creak
ing of old timber.
John Steele smiled grimly, but soon
his thoughts seemed floating off be
yond control, and, rising suddenly, he
threw -himself -on the bed. .
The afternoon was well advanced
when, as half through a dream. John
Steelo heard the rude Jingling of a
bell. The loud and emphatic closing
of the front pate served yet more
speedily to arouse him. Hastily he
sat up. His head bdzzed from n long
needed sleep that had been oversound.
"So it's the meter mau you are?"
John Steele recognized the Inquiring
voice ns that of the caretaker. "Sure,
you're a new one from the last that'
was here."
"Yes: we change beats occasionally."
was the careless answer. John Steele
sprang from his bed nud crept very
softly toward the ball "A new man"
He heard them talking again after a
few minutes. He remained listening
at his door, now slightly njnr.
"There must be n leak somewhere
from tho quantity you've burned. I'll
have a look around: might snve your
master a few shillings."
John Steele locked his door. The

FLIGHT.
TEELE raouuted the stairs to
the uttlc. From the high win
dow thero ho could see. around
a curve In the row, a loitering
figure. Quickly coming down to the
second story, he beguu cautiously to
exumlne from tho windows tho situa
tion of the bouse lu relation to ad
Joining grounds and neighboring dwell
ings. To the right the top of the high
wall shone with the customary broken
bits of glass; the rear defenses glisten-
ed ulso In formidable fashion. He
noted, however, several placos where
this safeguard against unwonted In- I

Khrub or tree. Agillnst the reur wall,
which was of considerable height,
leaned his neighbor's low coimerva-
tory. almost spanning It from side to '
side.
"Sure. Bir. I dn't know whether It's
breakfast or supper that's waiting for
you." Captain forsythe's man bad
reappeared and stood uow at the top
of the landing looking in at blm. "It's
a sound sleep you've had."
John Steele glanced at the clock.
The afternoon was waning.
The servnnt was now eying tho vis
itor dubiously. John Steele wheeled,
a perfunctory answer on bis lips, and,
going to the dining room, swallowed
hastily a few mouthfuis.
He made up his mind as to his
course then, the last desperate shift.
Amid a 'turmoil of thoughts a certain
letter he had had In mind to send to
Captain Forsythe occurred to blm.
and, calling for paper and pen, ho
wrote there, facing tho window, fe
verishly, hastily, several pages. Then
he gave the letter to the servant for

Iron knocker without had Just sound

"As If I didn't know his knock!" he
said, departing.
John Steele's pulses now throbbed
expectantly, no had obtained n key to
the gate and moved toward the front
door. By this time tho darkness had
deepened, nnd. key in band, he step
ped out.
At first he walked toward the front
on the gravel that tho servant might
hear him, but near tho entrance he
paused, hesitating, to look out. As he
remained thus some ono who had been
standing not far off drew near. John
Steele stole around tho place until be
reached the back wall.
There he examined his position, fell

lie heard behind him an Imperative
knocking nt tho frout door of Captain
Forsythe's bouse, succeeded by the
noise of feet hastening Into tho bouse.
For some tlmo nothing save these
sounds was wafted to tho listener.
Then a loud, disappointed voice, sound
ing above another voice, camo from a
half opened window. John Steele stood
still no longer. Great hazard, almost
I certain capture, lay before him in the

I space he darted quickly, catching n
, fleeting view of people within, several

Close to a side of the square looking
I house he paused, his heart beating
, fast. To attempt to reach the gate, to
! get out to Surrey road, little doubt ex
I Isted as to what awaited blm there. He
remained motionless. Sharp twinges
again shot through his shoulder. Then
on a sudden ho became unmindful of
physical discomfort. A plan of action
that had flashed through his brain
held him oblivious to all else. It offer
ed only the remotest clmucc of escape,
but still n chance, which be weighed,
detcrmlucd to take! It bad come to
him while listening to I ho merry
voices within tile room near him talk

Already cabs were at the door. A
servant .walked nut nnd unlocked tbo
gate, and with light badinage the com

John Steele, unobserved, stepped for
ward. In tbe semldarknes3 tho party
passed through tho entrance into the
street Taking his place among tho
last of tbe laughing, dimly seen v fig
ures, John Steelo walked boldly on and
found himself a moment later on tbo
sidewalk of Surrey road. He was
aware that some one. a woman, bad
touched his arm as If to take It, of a
light femlnlno voice und an abrupt ex
clamation of surprise. Walking swift
ly to one of tho last cabs, bo sprang
In.
"A little errand first, driver," he
called out. "To" nnd mentioned u
street "ns fast as you can." The man
straightened, touched his horse with
bis whip. and. wheeling quickly, they
dashed away.
As they did so John Steele thought
lie heard exclamations behind. Look
ing through the cnh window, he saw at
the gate the company gazing after
him. obviously not yet recovered from
their thrill uf surprise following his
unexppctpd netlon. He observed also
two men on the other -side of the
street, who uow run ucross nnd held
a brief altercation with oue of the
cabmen. As they were about to eute'r
tbo cab several persons in tbe party
apparently intervened, expostulating
vigorously. It was not 'difficult to
surmise tbe resentment of tbe group
at this attempted summary seizure of
a second one of their cabs.
"Those men must not overtake us,
