f---^ Adele Garrison i *‘Mv Husband’? Love” ** \_ J Who Driacs (lie Ollier Boat That Follows Fast? s "Now!" said little Mrs. Bird In cisively. "Make your good-bya brief." 1 stooped and kissed my husband's small niere and nephews, bidding i hem good by with a volet that I tried strenuously to make cheery. But my spirits were anything but high. It semed, suddenly, a sad and monstrously unjust thing—this en forced hurried flight to a far country l-cause of the greed and meanness of their dead father’s relatives. i It was a perilous undertaking, also, l told myself, with a vision of the obstacles which still intervened be fore they should arrive safely in their aUen haven. And In the farewell era brace which Harriet gave me there was a convulsive clinging, utterly for eign to her self contained nature, which told me that she shared iny apprehensions of the difficulties in front of them. But neither of us gave verbal ut crance to the fears that were ob •svssing us. "Tell mother everything went sll tight," Harriet said quietly. "I'll keep her from worrying,” T replied. “Vou're sure vail have the nldress right for writing or cabling?” For answer she touched her bodice where, in a. little oil silk packet, she always carries a card of identification nd an emergency sum of money. To these she now patently had added t lie carefully selected address which Dicky had given her from which he could secure her messages. Mrs. Bird, the young driver and the man in charge of the boat had ^ been busy getting the luggage and the children aboard. Harriet and the small Roderick stepped into the boat, and Edwin wrung my hand hastily. "You’re a trump, Madge," he said ~ heartily.- "Good-by." Mrs. Bird Is Optimisin'. In another minute the small motor boat which held them was ehug-ehug ging its way along the winding creek. The noise It made seemed terrifyingly loud to me. "Won't those men, watching in front of the house, hear that and sus pect something?" "What good would it do them if they did?” Mrs. Bird retorted. "By the time they can get. a boat and go after them our people will be on board that other boat and far enough out in the bay so there will be no chance to distinguish their craft from f ny other of the many in the harbor.” The last word was hardly out of her mouth before the noise of another motor boat engine punctuated her sentence as with an exclamation point. Mrs. Bird wheeled toward-the sound. "Isn't that Griffin's?" I detected a strained note in her voice as she accosted the young chauffeur, who stood just behind her. He listened to the noise carefully. | then delivered his judgment i-iu-l Uously: "Sounds like It." "It can’t be—" she broke off abrupt ly and turned to me. "It's only fair to tell you,” she said, "that Griffin nccaniOPa Ily rents out his boat. B There’s a hundred to one shot tlint the people behind you may not have overlooked this bet of ours, but you} may tie sure they won't copper it. George, who's in charge of your ' party, is a wise old bird. He'll hear that noise, and he won't waste, any seconds getting down to the mouth of the creek and transferring your party. "Barring accidents, which aren't probable, and accounting for the start he has, and the greater distance the other chap will have to go." she con tinued, "he'll have a goori 10 minutes’ edge on the other boat. That's enough for any get away, even if that isn't Griffin himself nut there on some er rand of his own. Which is the most likely explanation.” "Wliat Is Your Signal?" I tried hard to share her optimism, but l failed dismally. I did not know what powers of the law the family of William Harrison might not have been able to invoke, and I visualized fearfully the possible forcible ^eizure cf the children and the arrest of Ed win and Harriet. "What is your signal?" Mrs. Bird's Voice, crisp, incisive, roused me. "It’s none of my business, of course, lint you're not as used to distinguishing ■olses across the water as I am and poo might nbt hear it.” "The ci y of the screech owl,” I re pll- d. "I’m not very good at it, but I Mrs. Underwood can give the call very realistically, and as she will lie listening for my response it will not Platter if It is not so realistic as It ■light be." "All right,” Mrs. Bird responded. "Now we won't say another word for. • v tli# sounds. Georg# I* almost there Her signal will route any minute now. lllit that other boat :a moving faater than 1 like."
