In realB Z Doris was in the grip of an alB no«t unconquerable panic. What had B unpened- Why didn't I.aurie come? ■j B^ r k c decided to let her have the B truth, or part of the truth. 'There wasn't no blowout," he ■ jrjted. defensively. B . Tber e wasn't! What do you ■ Man!" He «an- that she was first surprised. [ startled, then, as some sudden rejection came to her, actually appalled T mean that there wasn't no blowout." V. -So blowout? Then—then—wlmt did I hear?" She asked the question of Burke, and, a« she asked It, recoiled suddenly, us if he had struck her. -P raps you got a back fire," he sng jested, reassuringly. "You come down the steep hill up there, didn't you?" Dort9 pulled herself together, shrugged her shoulders, and resolutely smiled at him. She knew the difference between the sound of a blow out and the backfiring of an Irritated engine. But some abysmal Instinct made her suddenly cautious, though with that same instinct her Inner panic developed. What had stie heard? T put on a ‘spare,’ anyway," Burke wrs saying. “The rear right looked u little weuk, so I changed It.” He was tacitly explaining the bill he had submitted, but Doris did not her hltn. What had she heard? Insistently the question repeated itself Is her rnlod. She turned dizzily, and wen: back for the coat. As she did so 9he heard Burke’s voice. “Why—hello!” Even la that moment she observed its modulation. It had beguu on a note of cheery surprise and ended on one of sharp concern. Turning, she saw Laurie. He had nodded to Burke, aud was obviously trying te speak naturally. “All ready?" lie asked. The remark was addressed to them both, hut be looked at neither. There was an instant of utter silence dur which they took him In. Burke with Insistent, goggling eyes, Doris with one quick glance soul-searching "*“* ~— tr n fm TiifnuSsi— ‘a “What you been doin' to yerself?" ie gasped. The question was Inevitable. I.au rie was hatless and disheveled. His coat was torn, and across oue pallid cheek ran a deep cut, freshly bleeding. “Fell,'’ he said, tersely. He was breathing hard, as If he had been running. He had not yet looked et Doris, but now he abruptly swung into the little office and emerged, bringing her coat. Without a word, he held it for her. In equal silence, "he slipped into It. He retrieved the cap from the pile of discarded garments still lying on the office floor, imt it on, and indicated the waiting car. “tlet In,” he commanded. She obeyed and he followed her, taking his place at the wheel. "You’re hurt,” she almost whis>*r*d- "Shall I drive?’’ “No—Burke!” The word was like a pistol shot. "Y-yesslr!” Burke was stammering, hi hlg excitement he was hardly conscious that another bill had found its w ay into his hand, but his hand had automatically reached for and closed on it. "Keep your mouth shut.” "Y-yessir." “Keep It shut till tomorrow mornh‘g You haven’t seen anything or anybody at all today. Understand?” "Y-yessir.” "After tonight you can talk about me all you like. But you're to forget absolutely that yoa ever saw the lady. I* that clear?" "Y-yessir.” “Thank you. Good-by.” He started the car and swung It out 'oto the storm. As It went Burke saw the girl catch the boy’s arm aud heard •otnethlng that sounded partly like a C *Y * n d partly like a sob. "Laurie!" “H-ush 1” The car was tearing through the Worm and drifts at fifty miles an honr, and this time It was headed sown the road for New York. Burke’s eyes followed It. as far ae (?* c °old aee It, which was not for. he retreated to the "office,” and, .•Topping heavily Into his desk chnlr,

WM Vet? IOW stared ’unseelugly afa calendar on tka wall. It was a long moment before he re- 1 membered to open hi* hand and look at the hill he was holding. As he did so Ida eyes wideued. The hill was a ! large oue. With u quick look around him, he thrust It Into his poqket. “I ain’t really seen nothin'," he mut-; trred. ‘‘an’ I uln't sure of nothin', anyhow.” • •••••• “What has happened? Oh, Laude, what has happened?" For a time I.aurie did not answer. TheD she felt rather than saw his face turn towufd her In the darkness. "Doris.” -Yes." "Will you do something for me?" “Yes, I.aurie. anything.” “Then don’t speak till we reach , New Y'ork. When we get to your | studio I'll tell you everything. Will ! you do that?” “But —I.aurie —" "Will—you—do—H Y’ The voice was not Laurie's. It was the harsh, gratlug voice of a mun distraught. “Yes, of course.” Silence settled upon them like a substance, a silence brviken only by the roar of the storm and the crashing of wind-swept branches of tb* trees that lined the road. The car’s powerful searchlights threw up In ghostly shapes the covered stumps and hedges they passed and the masses of snow that beat against them. Subconsciously the glr! knew that this boy beside her, driving with the recklessness of a lost so'.ii, was merely guessing at a road no one could have seen, but In that half-hour she had no thuugbt for the listards of the Journey. Her panic bad grown till It filled her soul. Once, in a frantic impnlsa of qmk! •f human contact, she laic bar fevnd *u the arm nearest her, etm •'he wheel. The next luaLant aha vhiliw I It with a shudder. For all the response she had fonnd she might have touched a dead man. Something of the look of a dead man, too, was In the boy's face and eyes as he bent forward, motionless as a statue, his features like stone and his eyes as unhuman as polished agate, staring fixedly at the road before them. It waa ou a stretch of road through the woods that the obsession in her mind took ita final and most hideous form. Close behind them, and ringing In their ears, she fancied she heard a cry In the voice of Shaw. r t was not Shaw's human voice. She would not have known It In through the great change; recognizable, because she, too, had passed through some great change. Re-ogulzable, too, was the sound of Shaw’s running feet, although she had never heard them run, and though they were running so lightly on top of the snow. He was Just behind them, she thought. If she turned she knew she would see him, not as she had known him, plump, sleek, living and loathsome, but stark, rigid and ready for his grave, yet able to pursue; and the new, unearthly light of his bulging eyes seemed burning Into her back. She groaned, but the groan brought no response from the tense figure beside her. The only sounds were the howls of the wind, the frenzied protests of the tortured trees, aud the fancied hall of a dead man, coming, closer and closer. <TO BE CONTINUED) Surrenders On Charge Os Accepting “Fix Money” Evansville.
