CHAPTER XXIX. Continued.
"Oh, how thankful I am!" cried
Mrs. Knapp. "Thero Is a wolght of
anxloty off my mind. Can you lmag
ino what I havo been fearing In tho
last month?"
"I hud thought a littlo about that
myself," I confessed. "But wo aro
not yet out of tho woods, I am afraid."
"Hark! what's that?" said Mrs.
Knapp apprehensively.
Tho carriage was now making Its
way through tho bad stretch in tho
lano, and thero was littlo nolso in Its
progress.
"I heard nothing," I said, putting
down tho window to listen. "What
was it?"
"I thought It was a shout."
There was no noiso but tho steady
splash of horses' hoofs In tho mud
nnd tho sloppy, shearing sound of tho
wheels ns they, cut through tho wot
soil.
As wo bumped and groaned again
through tho ruts, however, thoro arose
In the dlstnnco behind us tho flerco
barking of tho dogs, their voices
In nnger nnd alarm.
Thoro was a faint halloo, and a wild
er barking followed. Then my ear
caught tho splashing of gulloplug
hoofs behind, and In a moment tho
man of tho houso rodo bosldo us.
"Thoy'vo come," ho said, "or, any
how, somebody's come. I let tho dogs
looso and they will havo a lively time
for a whllo."
A few yards moro brought us to tho
main road, nnd onco on tho firm
ground tho horses trotted briskly for
ward, while the horsomun dropped bo
hind tho hotter to obsorvo nnd glvo
tho nlarm.
I leaned out of tho window. Only
tho deadened sound of tho hoofs of our
own horses, tho deadened roll of our
own carriage whoelB, woro audlhlo in
tho stillness of tho night. Thou I
thought I henrd yells and faint hoof
bents In tho dlstnnco, but again thoro
was sllonco except for tho mufllcd
nolso wo mndo In our progress.
"Can't wo drlvo fustorV" asked Mrs.
Knapp, whon I mado my report.
"I wouldn't spoil thoso horses for
$500," growled tho drlvor whon I
passed him tho Injunction to hasten.
"It's $1,000 for you If you got to tho
wharf ahead of tho othor3," cried Mrs.
Knapp.
"And you'll havo a bullet In your
hldo If you don't keep out of gunshot
of them," I ndded.
Tho doublo inducement to hasto had
its effect, and wo could feel tho Bwlftor
IS J i
motion of tho vehicle under us, nnd
sco tho moro rapid pnssago of the
trees and fonccs that lined tho way.
Tho wild rlda appeared to last for
ages. Tho fast trot of tho horses was
a funeral paco to tho flight of my ex
cited and anxious Imagination. What
If wo should bo overtaken?
At last tho houses began to pass
moro frequently. Now the road wns
broken by cross streets. Gas lamps
appeared, flicking fntnl and yellow In
tho morning nlr. Wo woro onco moro
within city limits. Tho panting horses
novcr slackened paco. Wo Bwopt ovor
n long bridge, and plunged down a
shaded street, and tho llguro of the
horseman wns tho only sign of llfo
behind us.
Of n 8tiddou thero sounded n long
roll, as of a great drum boating tho
rovelllo for an army of giants. Tho
horseman quickened his paco and Gal
loped furiously besldo us.
"Thoy'ro crossing tho brldgo," ho
shouted.
"Whip up!" I cried to tho driver.
"They aro only four blocks behind us."
Tho hack swung around n fow cor
ners, and then halted.
"Hero wo aro!" cried Dicky Dahl at
tho door. "You got aboard tho tuj;
and push off. Juke and 1 will run up
to tho foot of tho whnrf. If they como,
wo can keep 'cm off long enough for
you to got aboard."
Tho tug was where It lay when wo
loft, and at my hall tho captain nnd
his crow of thrco woro astir. It was a
moment's work to got Mrs. Knupp and
her charge aboard.
"Como on!" I cried to Dicky and his
companion. And as tho lines wcro
cast off they mado a running Jump
on to tho deck of tho tugboat and tho
vessel backed out into tho Btrcam.
Whon tho mist and darkness had
blotted out shoro, wharves and ship
ping, tho tug moved at half-Bpeod
down tho channel. I persuaded tho
captain that thoro was no need to
sound tho whistle, but ho declined
grullly to Incrcaso his speed.
"I might ns woll ho shot as run my
boat ashore," ho growled, with a fow
scamnnllko adjectives.
I did not know of nny particular
reason for arguing tho quostlon, so I
Joined Mrs. Knnpp.
"Thank God, wo uro Bare!" sho said,
with a sigh of l'cllof.
"Wo shall bo In tho city In half an
hour, If that Is safoty," I said.
"It will bo safoty for a fow days.
Thon wo can dovlso a now plan. I
havo a strong nrm to loan on uguln."
Roturnlng to tho deck I found that
tho light of tho morning waB growing.
VesBols wero moving. Tho whlfitles
of tho forry boats, as thoy gavo warn
ing of their way through tho tniat, roso
shrill on tho air. Tho wators woro
atlll, a faint rlpplo showing In strango
contrast to tho scone of lust night.
"Thoro's a stoamor behind ub," said
Dicky Dahl, with a worrlod look as I
Joined him. "I've boon listening to It
for flvo minutes."
"It's a tug," said tho captnln. "Sho
wns lying on tho other sldo of, tho
whnrf last night."
"Good hoavons!" I cried. "I'tit on
full steam, thou, or wo shall bo run
down In tho bay. It's tho gnng wo aro
trying to get away from."
Tho captain looked nt mo suspici
ously for n moment, and was Inclined
to resent my lnterforonco. Then he
shrugged his shoulders ns though It
was nono of his business whether wt
wero lunatics or not so long ns we
paid for tho privilege, nnd rang tho
oiiRlno boll for full speed ahead.
Wo had Just como tint of tho Oak
land Creek channel and tho mist sud
denly thinned beforo mh. It loft tho
bny nnd tho city fair and wholesome
In tho grny light, as though thu storm
had wnshod tho grlmo nnd foulness
from nlr and earth and renewed the
freshness of life. Wo had como hut a
fow hundred yards Into tho cloar nlr
when out of tho mist bank behind us
shot another tug.
At tho exclamation that broko from
us our cnptaln for tho llrst tlmo show
ed luterost In tho speed of his boat,
and whistled angrily down to his en
gineer. "Wo can bent her," ho said, with n
contemptuous accent on tho "her."
"That's your business," I roturned,
and walked nft to whoro Mrs. Knnpp
wns standing, hnlf-way up tho steps
from tho cabin.
"Can they catch us?" Inquired Mrs.
Knnpp, tho lines tightening nbout her
mouth.
"I think not tho captain says not
I should sny that wo wero holding our
own now."
At this moment a tall, masslvo fig
uro stepped from tho pilot houso of the
pursuing tug nnd shook Its lists nt us.
Tho hugo bulk, tho wolf-fneo, Just dls
tlngulshnblo, distorted, dark with rngo
and passion, stopped tho blood nnd I
felt a fnlutncss ns of dropping from a
height.
"Doddridge Knapp!" I cried.
Mis. Knnpp looked at mo In alarm
and grasped thu rail.
"No! no!" sho exclnlmod. "A thou
sand times no! That Is Hlljah Lano!"
1 gazed at her In wondor. Not Dodd
rldgo Knnpp! Had my eyes played mo
false?
"Do you not undorstand?" sho said
In a low, intense tone. "Ho is Elijah
Lane, tho father of tho boy. An ovll,
wicked man mad truly mad. lie
would kill tho boy. Ho killed the
mother of tho boy. I know, but It Is
not a caso for proof not a caso that
tho law can touch. And ho hutes tho
hoy and mo!"
"But why does ho want to kill him?"
"You do not understand. Tho boy
Inherits a groat fortuno from his
mother. Mr. Knnpp and I aro left
trustees by tho mothor's will. If ho
had control of tho boy, tho boy would
die; but It would bo from cruolty, tils
caso, neglect. It would not bo murder
In tho eye of tho law. But I know
what would hnppon. Oh, sco tho
wrotcht How ho hntoB mo!"
I was stunned with tho words I had
hoard. They mado much plain that
had puzzled mo, yot thoy loft much
moro In dnrkness; and I looked blank
ly at tho llguro on tho othor tug. It
was truly n strnngo sight. Tho man
was bosldo hlniBolf with rago, shout
ing, gostlculntlng and leaping about
tho deck In transports of passion. Ho
showed ovory mark of a maniac.
Suddonly ho drow a rovolver and
sent shot nftor shot In our direction.
Wo woro far hoyond tho roadh of a
pistol bullet, but Mrs. Knapp Bcronmod
and dodged.
"How ho hates mo!" sho cried
again.
Whon tho laBt shot was gono from
his rovolver tho man flung tho weapon
In fronzy, us though ho could hopo to
strlko us thus.
Thon a Btrango thing happened.
whothor duo to tho effort ho hnd mado
In tho throw, or to a lurch of tho tug
In tho wavos wo loft bohlnd us, or to
I a stumblo ovor aomo obstruction, I
could not say. But wo Baw tho man
suddenly pitch forward over tho low
bulwarks of tho tug Into tho waters of
tho bny.
Mrs. Kuapp gavo a scroam and cov-
crod hor oyes.
"Stop tho boat!" I shouted. "Back
hor!"
Tho other tug had checked Kb head
way at tho samo tlmo, and thero was a
lino of six or soven men nlong Its sldo.
"Thero ho Is!" cried one.
The captain laid our tug across tho
ttdnl stream that Bwopt us strongly
toward Goat Island. Then ho steamed
slowly toward tho other tug.
"Ilo's gone," said Dicky.
Tho other tug seemed anxious to
keep nwny from us, as In distrust of
our good Intentions. I scanned tho
wntors carefully, but tho drowning
man had gono down.
Then, rising not 20 foot away, float
ing fot a moment on tho surface of tho
water, I saw plnlnly for tho first tlmo,
tho very cnrlcnturo of tho faco of
Doddrldgo Knnpp. Tho strong wolf
Icaturcs which In tho King of tho
Street wero eloquent of power, Intel
lect and sagacity, woro hero marked
with the record of passion, hatred and
evil llfo. I mnrvcled now that I had
ovor traced a likeness between them.
"G'vo mo that hook!" I cried, loan
ing ovor tho sldo of tho tug. "Go
ahead u littlo."
Ono of tho men throw a ropo. It
passed too far, and drifted BWlftly bo
hind. I mndo n wild roach with tho hook,
but It was too short. Just ns I thought
I should succeed, tho faco gavo ft con
vulslvo twitch, ns If In n parting out
burst of hnto and wrath, and tho body
Bank out of Bight.
I stood half-bowlldered, with a
bursting sonso of rollof, by Mrs.
Knnpp. At Inst sho took hor hands
from beroe hor eyes and tho first
rnys of tho sun that cleared tho tops
of tho Alameda Hills touched hor calm,
solemn, hopeful face.
"A now day has dawned," Bho said,
"Lot ub give thanks to God."
CHAPTER XXX.
The End of the Journey.
For a few minutes wo woro silent.
Wator nnd land and Bky started Into
now glorios at tho touch of tho rising
sun. Tho mnny-hlllcd city took on tho
hues of a fnlry plcturo, nnd tho win
dows gleamed with tho magic Arcs that
wero llaphod back In grcotlng t6 tho
god of day.
It scorned scarcely possible that this
was tho raging, tossing wator wo had
crossed IkhI night. And tho flory
sccno uf passion nnd death wo had
Just witnessed was so foreign to its
calm beauties that I could bollovo It
had happened olsowhcro In Homo
dream of long ago.
I wns roused by tho voico of Mrs.
Knapp, who ant at, tho head of tho
cabin stairs looking ubsently ovor tho
water.
"I havo not dealt frankly with you,"
alio said. "Porhapa it is bettor that
you should know, as you know bo
much already. I feol that I may roly
on your discretion."
"I think I can keep ti secret," I re
plied, concealing my curiosity.
"I should not toll you if I did not
have full confidence" Then Bho was
Bllont for n mlnuto. "That man," sho
continued at last, with a shuddor in
hor voice, "that man was Mr, Knapp's
brother."
