"Perhaps," lie admitted, "and then
again, perhaps not."
tOf course," said Trollivor turning
to Haight, "if Nevilles prefers to wait
dill' the last minute bo pay over the
money, we'll have to leave it that Way.
We agreed to NS stipulation in that
regard, remember?" •
"Idiot," mtmmured Haight, glaring
at the lawyer. . °
Nevilles, who Was fumbling with
bhe bag, raised his eyes.
"There's something I'd like . to ask
you gentlemen," he said. "It's about
Webster."...,
"What about hire?" shot Haight.
"Just this. I was wondering if you
wouldn't take him off my hands. Then,
as his hearers gasped at the sheer
audacity of the proposal, "He's per-
fectly willing to drop his grudge a-
gainst me if Pll let him free. Two
months ago I'd have laughed 'at the
idea -abut now -well, I feel different=
ly about it now. You see gentlemen,"
he smiled cynically, "a certain .some-
thing quite beyond the comprehension
of either of you has recently come
into my life. to exercise a sort of soft-
ening influence on my hardened na-
ture."
"On your head: you mean," growled
Haight, "if you think we'll agree to
any such proposition. You'll live up
to your agreement with us to the let-
ter, young man."
"Just a moment," said Trolli!ver.
"Supposing we were willing to do as
you suggest, Nevilles, what guaran-
tee would we have that Webster would
not get nasty and blame us for al-
lowing you to get away with a lot of
his money, besides raising ructions
with his property generally, as you
must admit you have?"
"And," broke in 'Haight, "what a-
bout that half interest in the Western
Oil Lands? Wouldn't he naturally
cancel any deal you, the man who im-
personated him, were trying to put
over?"
"Of course," observed Trallivor,
"there's this about it. All Webster
could possibly do would be to make
the best of it."
"Besides," interposed Nevilles, "it's
a good buy, so you gentlemen tell me.
Webster shofiid shake hands' with him-
self that be has agents who are cap-
able of looking after his interests so
well."
Both men glanced at him quickly,
but his face was devoid of mockery or
cynicism.
A silence fell. Nevilles, a cold
light in his eyes, was watching Haight.
"The question is," he spoke, "Do
you want Webster?"

The 'lawyer squirmed. •
"?Nevilles," he said, ." •therms no use
of playing at erose purposes here. We
don't want Webster; we prefer that-
he disappear."
Nevilles arose.
"Gentlemen," he cried reuievedly,
"I've got to admit I was trying you
out. L. thought you might have it in
your minds to attempt to steal Web-
ster from me. Now I know you don't
intend to, let me tell you something.
I've got a grip on Webster, and there
.is ne power on earth sufficient to pry
him from me. AlI he has done to
me he's going to" pay' me for. When
I
.pass out --+tie passe:s with me."
He got up and walked to the door.
"On Tuesday morning,a- he said,
turning, "I'll meet you both here. I'll
bring the four hundred and ninety
thousand, and you can pass it over to
Turnbull. .S'o'metime between Tuesday
night and Wednesday certain indis-
putable proof that I have been drown-
ed will be found on the river. 1 leave
it to you to do the rest. .1 have little
fear that. you, so well qualified, will
not do it thoroughly."
He (breath& a little more freely as
he found they open air and entered his
car. He drove to The Starkens Loan
and Building Company, where he was
joined by Bryce and Griddle. In a
small, sound proof room off the main
studio the three talked for a time in
whispers.
"Aiud now you've got it all," said
Nevilles, as. they rose to go. `Here's
the schedule. Stokia arrives with the
hydroplane late this afternoon, land-
ing on Beaver meadow. He and
Sterile will be alone on Drowned Ac-
res until midnight, at which hour, we,
with Abbott to guide us, will join
them. There'll be a full moon at
twelve. fStokie will have everything
ready for our immediate take -off. We
will meet at the tunnel below the old
distillery, where the 'Arrow' is lying.
It will take me not more than ten
minutes to get hold of a certain gent
who is being held prisoner; then we're
off."
The three soughtthe out-of-doors.
Bryce jumped in Nevilles"s car and
drove away. Griddle and Nevilles
took a (bridle -path to the 'river. Nev-
illes unlocked the door of a boat -house
and launched a light cedar skiff.
"I hal t1 think we're being watch-
ed," he spoke in answer to his com-
panion's searching looks before and
behind, as they rowed slowly up the
stream. "Haightte 'sleuth§ -are keep-
ing an eye on the old distillery build-
ing. They don't know what we know.
-that there is an underground
entrance from this river."
"Lord, no," chuckled Griddle. "That
is where we fool 'em. How did you
find out about this tunnel, anyway?"
he asked.
Nevilles grinned.
"I used to be in touch with a gang
here who made it their business to
know certain run -ways," he amswered.
"This underground passage to the dis-
tillery was one of them."
!Ble ceased rowing as they came op-
posite a chimp of red willows.
"Right here, my boy, is the ent-
rance," he whispered; "and in there
the speedy 'Arrow' is lying, waiting
to bear us down to Drowned Acres to-
night."
He manipulated the skiff until her
bow parted the bushes.
"Got to leave this bag of swag a-
board her," he informed Griddle.
"What if the police boats take a
shot at us when we're throwing wa-
ter -dust at the moon getting. down to
Drowned Acres?" shivered Griddle as
they resumed their course. "Some-
thing tells me that Haight and Trol-
livor will get wise to us at the last
minute.".,
"Why; we'll have to take that
chance. Billy," his companion answer-
ed. "I thought you liked excitement.
he added quizzically.
"Not of the steel -jacketed variety,"
grimaced Griddle. "Jimminie! I hope
we're not in for punctures."
• Nevilles made no reply. He swung
the skiff about and rowed back to
the boat -house. Here they parted.
Nevilles took a short-cut up town and
hailed a taxi. Hue drove to the Clari-
don, where he found Bryce waiting
in his car. The collector's face was
worried -looking.
"Where the deuce is Griddle?" he
accosted Nevilles.
"Sent him home to keep an eye on
that marsh -'lark Abbott," Neviles an-
swered. "Why?" he asked, as he took
the seat Bryce vacated.
"I've been having the devil's own
time with that man Abbott," Bryce
complained. "He's half -wild."
"Not getting cold feet, 1 hope?"
"Naw, nothing Iike that. Just ner-
vous, that's all. He's sure something
is going to break at the last minute
and spill the beans. 'He don't like
this midnight sneak, as he calls it.
He's for a daylight get -away."
"Billy Griddle will soothe his • ap-
prehensions on that score," assured
Nevilles. "That !boy's a Wonder at
comforting people; he's a boon to rue,
I can tell yon. Better run out and
help him, Bryne."
"See here," said Bryce, as Nevilles
readied' for the starter. "I want to
go along to -night and see the finish."
Nevilles shook his .head.
"Nothing doing. Your part of the
j,bh lies here, my !bay. Now, not an-
other word," as Bryce swore, beneath
his breath.. "You've gat yoar orders
and those 'ord'e'rs stand."

its provisions. It will not impose any obligation upon those who
drive safely and obey The Highway Traffic Act, and who, in case of
accident, pay judgments rendered against them for injury done to
persons or property.
HOW the LAW will OPERATE
Upon conviction of an operator of a motor vehicle for any one. of
the offences named below, his driver's license and all motor vehicle
permits issued to him will be suspended until such operator or owner
gives proof of his ability to compensate financially those whom he
may endanger in the future.
The OFFENCES
Following are the offences named:
(�) reckless driving, if any injury to person or property occurs in
connection therewith.
(b) racing on the highways, which is prohibited by The Highway
Traffic Act.
(c) exceeding the speed limit, if any injury to any person or property
occurs in chnnection therewith.
(d) failing to remain at or return to the scene of an accident and to
furnish the names and addresses of driver and owner of vehicle
and failing to render all possible assistance, if directly or indirectly
a party to the accident.
(e) driving a motor vehicle on a highway without holding a driver's
license.
•
(f)

any offence against public safety on highways as may be desig-
nated by the Lieutenant -Governor -in -Council.

If the holder of a driver's license or owner's permit fails to satisfy
a judgment rendered against hire for damages on account of injury
to, or death of, any person, or on account of damage to property
in excess of $100, occasioned by a motor vehicle, within 15 days
from date of judgment, such license or permit shall be suspended
until such judgment is satisfied to the extent of at least $5,000 for
injury to, or death of, any one person and, subject to that limit, for
each person so injured or killed to the extent of at least $10,000 for
injury to, or death of, two or more persons in any one accident, and
to the extent of at least $1,000 for damage to property of others
resulting from any one accident, and until such person gives proof
of his financial responsibility in case of future accident.
OFFENCES OUTSIDE ONTARIO
By Drivers Licensed in this •Provin e
For similar offences committed in other Provinces or ,States of the
United States and reported to theRegistrar of Motor Vehicles Of
Ontario under reciprocal arrangements, the Minister of Highways
shall suspend the driver's lideztse and owner's permit until that
driver or owner has given ,proof of financial responsibility in the same..
manner as if the offence had been committed in Ontario.
PROOF of FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Amounts and How to Give
Proof of financial responsibility shall be given in the following amounts
by every driver and in the case of an owner in the same amounts
for each motor vehicle registered in his name: -
(a) at least $5,000 for injury to, or death of, any one person and,
subject to that limit for each person so injured or killed, at least
$10,000 for injury or death of two or more persons in any one
accident.
(b) At least $1,000 for damage to property of others resulting from
any one accident.
Proof of financial responsibility may be given in any one of the
following forms:
(a) The written certificate filed with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles
of any authorized insurer that it has issued to the person named
a motor vehicle liability policy or policies which at the date of
the certificate is in full force and effect.
(b) The bond of a guarantee insurance or surety company licensed
in Ontario, or a bond with personal sureties approved as adequate.
(c) The certificate of the Treasurer of the Province that the person
named has deposited with him a sum of money or securities for
money approved by him to the amount or value of $11,000 for
each motor vehicle registered in the name of such person.
PUBLIC NOW PROTECTED by INCONTESTABLE
INSURANCE
In the event of damage being done by the owner or driver of a motor
vehicle to another person or to property of another person, and such
owner or driver holds an insurance policy to pay the legal liability
of the insured for such damage, and if through misrepresentation
upon the application for such policy or in the event of a breach by
the insured of any term, provision or condition of the policy which
would relieve the insurer from liability, the insurance company must
nevertheless under the Safety Responsibility Law, pay the damage
to the person injured up to the limits named above, but in such case
the insurance company by a provision in their policy may have the
right to recover from the person insured the amount or amounts so
paid in liquidation of the damages for the injury he has done to the
persons or property of others, including interest and costs.
REPORTING of ACCIDENTS
Every person in charge of a motor vehicle who is directly or indirectly
involved in an accident, if the accident results in personal injuries
or in damage to property apparently exceeding $50, shall report
such accident forthwith to the nearest provincial or municipal police
officer and shall furnish such information or Written statement con-
cerning the accident as may be required by the officer or by the
Registrar of Motor Vehicles.

gamble. He was going out to Teddy
Jerome's training quarters to give his
old/friend a few -Parting injunctions.
Three miles lay between him and
Meadow Course Stables, when roomi-
ng a bend in the road he saw a girl
mounted on a bay horse motionless
beneath a wild locust tree by the side
of the road.
Nevilles's heart seemed to turn ov-
er and die With the panting throb of
the engine, as he brought the huge
car to a •standstill.
'Myra 'Huntingdon raised her head
and gazed at 'him calmly. In her

thought. Would she speak to him, or
would she, figuratively speaking.

neath her heel? There was only one
way to find out. He raised his hat.
"You and Fire Fly make a veru
charming picture," he addressed her.
She contemplated him coldly, red
lips parted half scornfully.
"Yes?" she murmured.
Nevilles felt suddenly all the law-
lessness of his pre -historic ancestors.
An uncontrollable desire to sweep this
glorious, challenging creature from
her horse, cru.sh her • in his arms and
carry her away--away-ta God only
knows where, was taking possession
of him.
He was out of his car and' besida
her in a moment.
But there he stood abashed, shaken
to the very roots of his soul 'by her
fragrant nearness, her sweet inno-
cence. She had leaned down toward
him, gloved hands gripping the bridle
reins, violet eyes with discs of gold
lifting and receding in their depths.

"1 'am glad I met you," she was
saying, and he noted that she omitted
to address him by name. "Do you
know that you -that you are in dan-
ger of arrest? My guardian has found
out who you are."
"Are you sure?'' he asked, after a
strained silence.
"Yes, I am sure. I can't forget that
you once helped me in time of need,"
she faltered. "I owe you this warn-
ing."
She straightened in the saddle.
"That's all, I think."
He stood aside, and, hat in hand,
watched her ride slowly oft' like an
indignant queen might ride from low -
/Hest subject.
Then ,suddenly his pulses leaped. She
had• turned; was coming back.

answered strainediy. "I don't know
why. 1 ought to hate and despise
you, but--"
"Then you don't hate me?"
"No."
She caught her breath, and turned
her eyes away.
"You will go?"
"Listen," he spoke almost roughly,
"before I answer that, will you tell me
something. If I were what you first
thought me, and not what you think
me now; if I had proven up to your
measure of a man,) would there -

She gave a little cry, and jerked
the glove from her left hand.
"Laofk," she whispered.
He saw the blue fire of the diamond
on her finger leap like the tongue of
a snake that lies called and bars'tb
road to happinests. He had been giv=
en his answer.
"It is what I have always thought,'
he said hopelessly. "I just wanted to
be sure."
He saw her face suddenly blanch.
The next moment she was leaning to-
ward him, her hands on his shoulders.
"Oh, my dear, my dfear,V she mur-
mured chokingly.
Her arms went about his neck.
Slowly her face was lowered; softly
the half -parted lips rested on his.
"God 'bless you and keep you," she
murmured.
Then she was gone on the fleet -

the beautiful Muskavahooch?"
' "Yes, we've decided to go," Clara
answered. "But Myra and I still
think you should explain the object
of this strange cruise. Why keep up
in suspense?"
He laughed.
"Why, my dears, that would be
spoiling the best part of it," he de-
clared. "Surely your woman's cur-
iosity can hold out until the big den-
ouement is reached. 'I can promise
you it will be of rather a startling

She caught her breath and her eyes
widened. Clara Kimberlie was smil-
ing, her beautiful face was alive with
strange emotion.
"Oh, 'my dear."
She swept the drooping figure in-
to her arms, "I just can't stand to see
you suffer so. Listen to me, Myra."
With her lips against her friend's
golden curls she whispered a few'
words, and as she listened Myra's face
mirrored eaepressions of wonder and
incredulity.
"But, Clara," she gasped when her
friend had finished, "James Turnbull
