I consulted by wrist watch hastily and.made a mental calculation. If he had not been unduly delayed Alfred tlurkee, as my driver had said, would have had time to get to the place I had designated. I answered the man hastily in the affirmative, hut he gave no sign of hearing me, for he was al ready heading his car hack through the park. By the revelatibn that the pursuit he dreaded was one of iiis own per-1 sonal enemy, he had relieved my fear that the detective hunting the Har rison children had discovered my whereabouts. But the knowledge that my driver was in actual peril of his life—for he was distinctly not the type of youth to imagine danger, or to flinch from It—made me almost ns nervous as if T, myself, were in jeopardy. I guessed that my presence complicated his problem woefully. Left to himself, I Imagined that he would have welcomed an encounter with his enenjy, but Mrs. Bird had put me in his charge and to his loyal soul everything else was subordinated to that fact. J (nulled over the possibilities of continuing my ei rands by myself, and letting the, man return to Flushing, but T knew that time was the com modity 1 must not squander In this frantic effort to get tile Harrison children safely beyond pursuit of their mercenary relatives. Therefore, 1 contented myself with resolving to plan my itinerary so that the driver should not he compelled to stop more than a few seconds at any one spot. Alfred Is Bewildered. With this determination in view. 1 lost no time in talk with Alfred Dur kee when upon again emerging into Fifty-ninth street from Columbus Circle. I saw.’ him standing upon the curb in a waiting, watching attitude. With a hurried direction to the drlter, I swung open the door of the battered old car as it drew up to the curb In front of my friend. ■'Get In here quickly, Alfred," I said tensely. "I'll explain afterward." He obeyed me promptly, but there was so bewildered an expression on fas face that I could not repress a chuckle, even with the nerve-distract ing problem that was mine.

"For the love of I,ulu." he ejacu lated, “what is this? Are you chased by a polireman, or have you suddenly discovered that we are kindred souls and decided to abduct me? If the latter, don't put on handcuffs. I'll go only too willingly. Vou ought to know that.” "Do keep quiet, Alf, until I t*l! you what's happened," I retorted irritably, for I was In no mood for nonsense. "Why don't you say. 'shut your trap?' " he queried provoklngly. "It's lots more expressive and—" He broke off abruptly, probably at the tense, distressed look which I know my fare must have worn. On a Tramp Steamer. "Forgive me, my dear,’' he said contritely. "I didn’t know it was so serious. Co on. spill what’s troubling you. I’ll be as sober as a hanging judge.” The driver had turned inlo the park and I knew that he felt far more secure from discovery by his enemy on its winding, secluded roads than he had in the complications of city traffic. The knowledge lessened my own tension perceptibly, and 1 was enabled to give Alfred a culm recital of our bizarre flight from the farm house, the pursuit which I feared, and my reason for summoning him so hurriedly and mysteriously. He listened attentively, with no hint of the levity which had so dis turbed me. And when he spoke It wss with the crisp, efficient sureness of a man of affairs, accustomed to swift and effective action. “There's just one chance of getting bookings on a boat earlier than the ones you have," he said. “That's on owe of the tramp steamers going to South America. Don’t shy at the name. Some of them are mighty com fortable, and for getting away from publicity as your people want to do, they have it all over th# big ships. How many are there that want pas sage?” I told him and he made a hasty calculation. "Luckily, I brought plenty of monew with me,” he said. “How much do you need for your shop ping?" "None," I rejoined. "I brought plenty for that.
