grimy registry book, a sleepy, fat,

there. Tomorrow we can plan with
more certainty."
"Yes."' Her assent was more a sigh
than a word,
The cab, dashing down the Rue Leo-
pold de Wael, swung into the Place
du. Sud before the station. Kirkwood,
acutely watchful, suddenly thrust bead
and shoulders out of his window (for-
tunately it was the one away from the
depot) and called up to the driver,
"Don't stool' Gare Centrale now -and
treble fare!"
""Yes, sir! Ali right!".
The whip cracked, and the horse
swerved sharply round the corner into
the Avenue du Sud. The young man,
with a hushed exclamation, turned in
his seat, lifting the nap over the little
peephole in the back of the carriage..
He had not been mistaken. Calendar
was standing in front of the station,
. and It was .plain to be seen from his
pose that tbe 'madly careering nacre
interested him more than slightly. Ir-
resolute, perturbed, the titan took a
step or two after it. changed bis mind
and returned to his post of observa-
tion.
Kirkwood dropped the flap pp b and
turned back to find the girl's wide eyes
searching his face. He said nothing.
"What was that?" she asked after
a patient moment.
• "Your father, Miss Calendar," he re-
turned uncomfortably.,
There fell a short pause; then, "Why,
will you tell me, is it necessary to run
away from my father, Mr. Kirkwood?"
she demanded, 'with a moving little

a French song, which brought the hot
blood to Kirkwood's face.: ,
But the girl did not understand, and
he was glad of that ."You: May judge
between us," he appealed to her direct
ly once more. "1 can only -offer you
my word of honor as an American gen-
•tleman that' you shall be landed in
England safe and sound : by the first
available steamer."
"There's no need to say • more, Mr.
Kirkwood," Dorothy . informed-. him
quietly., "1 have already decided. • I
t.bink I •begin•: to understand some
things clearly now. It you're ready
we will go."
From' the window, where she stood
holding the curtains back and staring
out, Mrs. Hallam turned with a curl -
Ing lip.
" The •honor''of an 'American gentle-
man,' " . she quoted,' with a stinging
sneer-"i'm sure i wish you comfort of
it, child!"
"We must make ..haste, bliss Calen-
dar," said Kirkwood, ignoring the im-
plication. "Have you a. traveling
bag?"
She silently indicated a small 'valise,
closed and strapped. on a table -by the
bed and imtnediately passed out into
the hall. 'Kirkwood took the case:con-
taining the gladstone bag in one hand,
the girl's valise• in the other, and fol-
lowed.
As heturned the head of the stairs
he looked back. Mrs. Hallam was stilt
at the window. her back turned: From
her very passiveness he received an
impression of something ominous and
forbidding. 1f she hard lost a trick or

held- cards -was not at the end of her
resources. She"stuck in his imaging-
tion for many an hour as a force to be
reckoned with.
For the present he understood. that
She was waiting to apprise Calendar
and Mulready of their flight. With

down the three flights, through the
tiny office. where madam sat sound

out.
Opposite the dbor they. were foetto
nate to find a nacre drawn up in'walt-
ing at the curb. Kirkwood opened the
door for the girl to enter. •
"Gere du Sud," he directed the driv.
er, "Drive ,your fastest. Double fare
for quick tithe!
The driver awoke with a start from
profound reverie, looked Kirkwood
over and boned with .gesticulative
palms.
"M'sieu', I am desolated, but en-
gaged!" he protested. •
"Precisely." Kirkwood deposited the
two bags on the forward seat of the
conveyance and stood back to convince
the elan, "Precisely," said he, undis-
tnttyed. "The lady Wh9 engaged you
is refraining for a tinre. 1 will settle
her bill."
"Very well, m'sieti'!" The driver dis•
claimed responsibility rind accepted the
favor of the gods with a speaking
shrug. "af'sleu' said the Gare du

Kirkwood jumped In and shut the
door. The vehicle drew slowly nwny
from the curb, then with gratifying
speed hammered upstream on the em-
bankment. Bending forward, elbows
en knees, Kirkwood watched the side -

Can you trust yourself to my protec-

England?". •
"Why, I"- the girl faltered, taken
by surprise,
"Mr. Kirkwood!" cried Mrs. Hallam
'angrily, finding ber voice.
Kirkwood turned to meet her on.

unflinching. "Please do not Interfere,
madam," he said quietly.
"You are' impertinent, sir! Dorothy,
I forbid you to listen to this person!"
The girl flushed. lifting her chin a
trifle. "Forbid'?" she repeated wonder-

Kirkwood Was huk'k to take advan-
