"It is absurd to have made up your mind that you are going to die." He smiled enigmatically. His voice was still firm and his eyes remained clear, but she realized from the way he moved that he was in increasing pain. "Mergen will bring me a fresh bandage In a few minutes." he told her. "He is quite expert. If anybody can keep me alive, he will, but after all It doesn't really matternow. For 17 years I have kept alike my nerve and my temper. I have seen men tortured without interfering, women baited almost to death, hideous deeds perpe-rated before my eyes, simply to make me betray myself.

She obeyed and discovered a sealed envelope which she held, out toward him. 'There are 500 pounds there, In Bank of England notes." he said. "Tomorrow morning you will go to the South Audley Street Branch of the Central Bank and open an account. You will deposit your notebook and those letters in the vaults of the bank." "You don't wish me to tran scribe mv notes then?" she asked. "Not for the moment.' 'he replied. "I want you to wait until the man who takes up my work appears." "How shall I know about him?" "You will subscribe to the Times," he told her. "Every morning you will read the personal column. You will wait until there is a message for 'Edith' from 'Algernon.' A tube will be mentioned In the message. It will probably sound ridiculous. You must not mind that. Most of those fool notes in saiety. you win De iree then - or-your-trsst.

She rose to her feet and began to button up her mackintosh. She looked doubtfully at the shaft of fog which seemed to have become denser. "I am not in the least nervous about myself," she said. "I am only afraid of getting lost outside, because I shall have the book with me. How do you think I had better try to get back to Shepherd's Market?" "All that is arranged,' told, her.

If you do, I promise I will use It sooner than have the book taken away." He smiled quietly. 'The time for that sort of thing," he remarked, "has almost passed. I remember when I had to use a revolver every week of my life. I used that little affair this afternoon for the first time for a year. Yes, take it if you will, but be careful." She reopened her satchel and slipped It in. She shivered a little as she remembered that the one empty barrel meant a man's life. Then she finished buttoning up her mackintosh, set her hat straight and looked down at him timidly. He held out his hand. "Oood-by, Miss Brown," he said. "I am very thankful to the fog ior naving sent you nere. "And I am thankful, too." she de clared fervently.

Miss Brown climbed into what seemed to be a furniture delivery van, empty sate for a single chair. A man scrambled in after her and stood by her side. The van started off. Through the window she could faintly discern another figure seated by the driver Tell me your address, please, miss," her companion begged. She told him, and, as soon as they naa emerged into a wider inorougn-fare, he opened the window and repeated it to the driver. Afterward he resumed his place. standing by the door and holding" on to the handle with the air of an attendant guarding a prison van, Miss Brown, whose stock of curiosity was almost exhausted, nevertheless asked mm one question. Notwithstanding his plain clothes there was certainly something official about his manner. "Are you a policeman?" He smiled down upon her In noncommittal fashion.

Her escort helped her to descend, griping her tightly by the arm. "Don't stand about, miss," he begged. "This fog isn't wholesome." The driver had also descended from his seat, and with the third man, who had followed him. formed a complete little bodyguard around her. Miss Brown inserted her key and opened the door. "All right inside, miss?" one of the men asked anxiously. Miss Brown looked into her room which was on the ground floor. "Quite all right, thank you," she replied. The door, which fastened with a spring lock, was closed with a little slam. Miss Brown had reached home safely.

The champion not only outfought Hudkins in nearly every round, but had the Nebraskan groggy on several occasions. A crowd of 25,000 saw the contest. Walkers devastating short lefts and rights to the jaw had Hudkins in a bad way in the opening round. Again in the sixth the champion slipped his rugged opponent with a right to the jaw tnat naa mm aazea ana nanging on. Walker had eight of the rounds, Hudkins had one, and one round was even.
