"But death still waits for you, ordo a little further off," said Arden With a curious persistency. "I don't think of that; I don't want to think of it: aud 1 could not think of it if I wanted to.

Througb the opening in the month lattice -work of the gate they had a ,glinepse of figures flitting lightly over the vivid green lawn beyond, and the sound of gay voices was in the calm air. Ardel slipped from bis bleyele and touched. a little electric button set in the pillar of the gate,-tbree short linger pressures in succession, - and almost at once the gate was opo cued by Trevor himself.

" I had help that you hadn't. was scarcely pedalling at all." He slipped his feet from the ped- als to the rests as he spoke. and still the machine glided seriftly and smoothly beside Wickham's up the steep incline. "Eleetricity," said Artie' quietly, in reply to the other's look of blank amazement. "You see that little ebony case, like a round, black ink bottle, there In the middle of the front axle?
