CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX •So it's you. Gorgeous!" Green leaped over the sill. She flew to the telephone. He laughed, terrifyingly. *1 eut the wires from the outside fust now. No one'll bear you!” He approached her stealthily, like a panther. She saw the brilliant look in bis eyes. He was dope-maddened. There was murder on hi, face. She screamed, and backed against the wall "If you touch me. you’ll go to the electric chair fcr ill" she gasped. "But you won't live to tell anyone what I am going to do!" There was a flend;«h grin on hi* face as bo camo slowly towards her. Terror trow Jean. The awful realisation that her last moment had come. But stork animal instinct for selfpreservation suddenly poured strength into muscles and nerves. In a wild rush she was in the kitchen. into the bathroom, and had slammed shut the door. But before she eould lock it, he had It open. She whirled through the bedroom to the front door of the shack. No sooner bad she turned the key to escape than his powerful arm* pinioned her. She struggled and fought. Ho laughed on a high, triumphant note, demanding: "One ... last .•. kiss *• As be bold her, she managed to twist around, and sink her teeth in bis right hand. With a howl of pain and fury, be let go hi* bold. She broke away from him. and the lifo-and-deatb race around the tiny cabin was on again. A weapon’ Her frantic eyes lit on a heavy, three-legged stool She grabbed it by on* leg. Whirled it about her heed and. with all her strength, hurled it at the man. She did not know if it had actually hit him, or if ho bad sidestepped it. In the terrifle erash that followed, when either toe force of hl* body, or the direct impact of the stool sent a beating stow* skiddenag to too wall below the window. It overturned. Kerosene poured out. A tongue cf fame caught toe curtain. Jean did not see that. In the confusion, she wrsached the door open, and ran. The night wa» dark. But the path was illuminated by the open d'jor. There was the sound of feet—kt* feet—running behind her! Fraying for help, she took cover in U woods like a hunted creature. How long she ran. tripped, picked herself up. pressed forward, she was never afterward* able to recollect, it might have been minutoa, but it ssemed like boon. Her band* and face were scratched. Stocking* torn to shreds by the undergrowth.

l naliy, based, the emerged on a , 1 ghtod road. Stumbling along it i sh* saw. in the distance, the lights of the railroad station. She heard too whistle of an *pi proaching train. She forced her exi hausted self into a run. A**be»tagCred into the depot, fumbling in r bag for money, the train was just about to pul) out. A porter shouted: "Como cn, miss! Hurry! You can buy your i ticket on ths train!" A conductor *wung out an arm i and grabbed her from toe step Into i the now moving train. Th* porter un the platform picked up tomething that had fallen from her bag I —the return-half of her round trip . ticket—la her confusion she'd forgotten that aha had it! She gasped thanks to the conductor for helping I her aboard, and sank down onto tbe ■eat of a day coach. Some minute* later, when she'd I got her breath back, she looked In i her bag again. The return half of i her ticket was there. She gave it to i too eondaptor. Saw him stare eon- ■ ou*ly at her. Sh* thought: “I must i look * fright!" Sh* pulled out a I mirror from her bag. Sure enough, her face was streaked with perspii ration, scratches and dirt, and her , hair looked awful. i In the washroom, she discarded her tom stocking*, and washed her > face and hands After putting on i fresh make-up. sb* rearranged her i bair. , She told herself of her wonderful luck In getting away from the demented man! Sb* ought to have phoned th* sanitarium, or better. ; the local police, from the railroad i station. But so temfled was she that : be was still following her. her one ■ wish bad bean to get on this train. > to safety! It was ber missionary spirit, sb* i thought ruefully, that bad brought , ber near death! AU she’d wanted to do was warn Gaby — save her ; from his revenge—or what he imagi ined to be revenge—for Gaby never had given evidence against him to , tbe police. Well. Gaby would have to look after herself aew! She shuddered , at tbe thought of Gaby returning to , toe cabin —prayed for ber safei guard. But maybe Green wouldn't risk going back! Or maybe that heavy stool really bad bit him? It I was to* force of bis moving body tost had overturned tbe stove. For all she knew, toe shack might be , afire now, and tbe escaped convict burning! Bad as he was. It would be terrible if she had killed him. But sh* lived and relived th* who!* scene ahudderingly during th* four-hour Journey back to town.

It was past midnight wbea to* taxi dspcsSsd ber a block from her bom*. Sh* rang to* butler * night b*U at th* back of the house. "Th* master's up. miss. He’s been anxious aPout you." T-evss told her in a low voice tinged with sympathy and appreben'.on. Her stepfather appeared Just as sh* was stout to ,r.eak up th* back stairs. Th* butter vanished titservetiy. “So you've disobeyed me again about beirg out at eight without letting mv know, Jean?" He pulled out bi* watch. "It's alssoat half past twelve!" Impotable to tell him of her trip to save Gaby from too clutches of th* mas she had teen expressly forbidden «v*r to so*, and wbo now was an escaped convict! If ah* did that, sbe'd bav* to toil Rupert toe complete story of Gaby! Sh* dare not drag tn toe scandal of Green now! Th* born bl* thing about on* dewpuon. no matter how good to* motiv*. was that it led to other*, until on* was tangled in a tis' j* of lies "I'm awfully sorry. Dad." sh* faltered. "1 was motoring with friends!" Sb* gav* a couple of name* at rar : m. *W* met for lunch, and never intended to drive so far. And the* the ear broke down miles from anywhere. It got dark. We had to leave to* ear. We tried to take a abort eut through the wood* and we got absolutely lost! Must have walked in circle* for hour*! Finally w* got to a railroad station. I tried to get in touch with you, but th* phon* was out of order. And then we got on such a slow train " It was an unconvincing story, but she couldn’t think up snythmg better. Sh* asked shakily: "Is —is Gnby horns !" "Most certainly ah* is. She's been in bed for the past couple of hour*. We d.ned alone. We played backgammon after." He cleared bio throat. His voice had a rasping sound as he ehided: "Apart from your lack of consideration for me, I must any you treat your friend, who's come all the way from Europe to visit you, with to* most ill-bred easualn***," She stole to Gaby's room and saw she was sound asleep. Sh* wouldn't wake the girl, ft was little consolation to realite that, by her horrible experiences of this night, toe bad accomplished— nothing! And beawn knows what trouble the morrow might bring for her and Gaby! (To be continued) CwrrWM *, Mi, Iteutls: OMrteMl •» Sim I—-w liomi Im
