He gave a signal and then crowed tbe yard to the gate*, which he began to open. "Are you ready?" he cried to the "Quite ready," the taller of the pair answered, climbing on the box. "Papers and everything handy?" "Aye, aye, fir," said tho guard ou th seat at tbe buck. "Very well, then, go ahead and good look go with yon." Tbe gute wero thrown open and tho Tan rolled out into the half deaurtod street. "Now come with me." cried Wal- wortb, "and see if the carriage is at tbe other door.

Throwing hnclf down npon tbe stretcher, ibe pulled the coverlet across ber, denned a wig witb corkscrew curls, drew a veil over hrr face aud announced berself ready.

Not a word was spoken all the way. and in leM uan ten minutes -ve bad rattled op tha cau-rway and wen. tils embarking onr precious load upon tbe platform. As tbe porters came crowding around us, I thought tbu a fitting op- portunity for assuming tbe role I bad elected to play. So, calling npon two of them to tak* up "Mrs. Wakeman" and be very careful not to shake ber, I led tbe way toward tbe Pullman wbicb bad been specially reserved for us. Wal- wortb, in bn capacity of family servant, bad mounted guard at tbe door, and, when we were inside, went off to bis own carriage. A minute later tbe guard waved bis dag, tbe whistle sounded and tbe train steamed slowly out of tbe sta- tion. So fur we were safe. But, ob, what an awful risk we bad run! Fortunately tbe train by which WB were traveling was an expreMi aud did not stop anywhere until it reached K.it Inigb; so that aa soon as we were under way Alie could remove her wig aud bedclothes and sit upright "Alie," I whispered, taking her band nd looking iuto ber beautiful eyes, "can yon believe that so far yon arc safe?" "Hurdly." she said. "But we most not relax any of our precautions. By this time the police will have learned tbe truth, aud I shouldn't ba at all sur- prised if the train in searched at Kant- leigb. They're certain to telegraph iii Tery direction to stop na" "But surely they wi-n't suspect us?" "I hope not, but we must not make too sure." Herbe crossed tbu caman and took uiy sitter'* band. "Jan, t. what could George have teen thinking of to allow yon to run this risk? Why did yon do it?" In reply Janet patted ber band and looked affcrtltiuately into ber face. "If yon really want to kiiow tbe rea- son, it was because we both love yon." "Ycu are tuo good to me." Alie au- Hwered. her dear eyes swimming wuh .war*, "far too good." 'Hush! Yon must not say tbat.

A momcDt later tbe in- spector arrived and wa about to turn the handle. "Excuse me," I wid, pretending to mistake bis meaning, "but this carriage is engaged. I think you will find room In the next compartment." "I'm not looking for a scat," tbe fn- oer replied civilly enough, "I'm lookiux for au escaped criminal."

"I'm glad of that," I replied. "And pray who is this escapee, yon are look- ing for?" "The woman there has been such a talk about lately, 'The Beautiful White Devil.' the managed to effect an escape on the way to Hnlloway jail this after- noon. But I am keeping the, train.

I sat dow li with an inarticulate ex- pression of my gratitude to heaven, and iiiiuate or so later tbe train contiuued iU journey, iiot to stop again until we were iu Portsmouth town. When we arrived at tbe docks. Wai- worth and I carried Alie down ibe steps to the wharf, and as soon aa thin was ac- complished my faithful friiud went off in search of tbe launch which, it bad beeii arranged, sbonld meet and take as out to th,- yacht, then lyiun iu tbe bar bor. When he bad discovered it, we lifted our precious burden on board aud teamed t-Lt to where oar craft lay. Ten niiuates later we had Alie aboard and safely in her own cabin and were pro- ceeding duwn tbe Solent under a fall bead of steam. Our rescue was ccom plisbed. Leaving Wai worth and Janet to fight the battle of onr escape over and over again ou the port side of tbe deck, that night when far oat at sea Alie and I paced the starboard, only to filid oar- selves aft at our favorite spot, the taff- raiL "George, dear," slid Alie softly. wbeu we bad been standing there a few moments. "What a lot has happened since we last stood like this, looking oat across tbe sea." "Yes, darling; a great deal has in- deed occurred to na butb," 1 answered. Then, after a little pause, "Alie. do you know if you bad not escaped today I should never have been abm to furgive myself, for remember it was I who was the means of bringing yon home." "Yon must uot say tbat!" "Bat I mast say it; it is true." "Then I will furgive yon ou one con- dition! Will yon make a bargain with fcsf" "What is itr f "Tbat that" Her* a little fl* of modesty overcame her. "That we put into Madeira and yon marry me there. "Alie. darling, do yoo mean it?" cried, delighted beyond all measure at the proposal. "Of coarse. I mean it." "But would it be safe, think yon?" "Perfectly ! They will never dream of looking t'or na tbtre. V- u mu?: allow the skipper to understand tbat it is a runaway match. That will remove bis scruples and wake it all plain sailing " "And you wall really be my wife then. Alie?" 11 Have I not already be*.-n bold enough to ask you to marry me?" "Then, please God, we will put into Madeira and do as you suggest!" Aud that's bow it was settled! CHAPTER XVL OUB sUKBIADK A.ND TUX aBTTLKHXXT AUAI*.
