When I.ord llarro'.vbv rudlcnly leaves
town Minot. convinced that he is a fake
lord. co:.lis s his love to Cynthia Mcy
ricl; The re :1 George llarrowby appears.
George llarrowby exposes the fake Lord
Harrowby, and nothing seems likely to
prevent "the wedding of the real Lord
Harrowbv atul Miss Mevrlek.
Cynthia Sleyrlek admits to Minot that
she loves him. Minot saves her wedding
dre?s from the (lames. She declares she
hates him.
Spenccr Meyrlek hears of the love in
surance. Lord Harrowby, pleading the
gambling instincts of his family, con
fesses. Again the wedding Is postponed.
Minot tearfully explains to Cynthia
Meyrlek his part in the affair. She spurns
him. They meet again on the train to
Jacksonville. Minot is forgiven. They ar
| range for their wedding.
! ■— —rr- —:
Miimt stood for a time, not daring
to uiove. Cynthia Meyrlek was at the
| window; ln>r scornful back was not en
couraging. Finally she turned, saw
Minot and gave a start of surprise.
"Oh—you're si ill here?"
"Cynthia, now you understand," he ,
said. "Yuu know why I acted as 1 i
did. You realize my position. I was |
in a horrible fix"—
She looked at him coldly.
"Yes," she said, "I do understand.
You were gambling on tne. You came
down here to defend your employer's
cash. Well, you have succeeded. Is
there anything more to be said?"
"Isn't there? On the ramparts of i
the old fort the other night"—
"Please do not make yourself any
more ridiculous than Is necessary. You
have nut your employer's money above
my happiness- always. Really you
looked rather cheap today, with your
[ sanciimeaiotts advice that 1 marry ,
Harrowby. Aren't you beginning to
realize your <:\vu position—the silly,
childish figure you cut?"
, "Then yon"—
"Last night when you came stagger
iug across the lawn to uie with this
foolish ;;"iv;i in your anus 1 told you
I hated you. Do you Imagine 1 hale
you any les.; now? Well, I dutt L' ller
voice became tearful. "1 hate you! 1
hale you!"
•T.tit soa:e day"—
She turned away from him. for she
was sobbing outright now.
"1 never want to sec you a train as
long as 1 live!" she cried. "Never!
Never! Never!"
Limp, pitiable, worn by the Ions fight
he had waged. Minot stood, staring
helplessly at her heaving shoulders.
"Then I can only say I'm sorry." he
murmured. "A ml—goodby."
lie waited. She did not turn toward
him. lie stumbled out of the room.
Minot went below and sent two mes
sari's, one to Jephson, the other to
Thacker. The lobby of the De la I'ax
was thronged with brilliantly attired
wedding guests, who. metaphorically,
beat their breasts in perplexity over
the tidings that had come even as they
craned their necks to catch the first
glimpse of that distinguished bridal
party. The lavishly decorated parlor
that was to have been the scene of the
ceremony stood tragically deserted.
Minot cast one look at it and hurried
again to his own particular cell.
He took a couple of time tables from
his desk and sat down in a chair facing
I the window. All over now. Nothing '
to C.j but return to the north as fast
as the trains would take him. He had
won. but ho bad also lost.
It was Into tn the afternoon when
tho clamor of his telephone recalled
him to himself. He leaped up and
seized tho receiver. Allan Ilarrowbys
voice came over the wire.
"Oan vou run down to the room. Ml
not?" he inquired. "The last call, old
Minot went. He found both the n"r"
rowbys there, prepared to say goodby
to San Marco forever.
"Going to New York on the Lady
Evelyn," said George Harrowby, who
was aggressively cheerful. "From
there I'm tnking Allan to Chicago.
Lord riarrowby smiled wanly.
"Nothing left but Chicago. he
drawled. "1 wanted to see you before
I went. Mlnot. old chap. ><ot that I
can thank you for all you did. 1 don it
know how. You stood by one "ke-rlikc
n gentleman. And I realize that I haxe
no claim on Boyd's. U
fault. If I'd never let Martin wall
have that confounded policy! Lut
what's the use of IfflnpT _ An ^y fan .
And—my thanks, old boy!" lie sighed.
"Nonsense!" said Minot. ' A bu>liie. s
proposition solely, from my point of
rtew There's no t banks coming to me.
"It seems to me." said George Har
rowby. "that as the only victor in this
affair you don't exhibit a pnn.cr choer
fulness. By the way. wed lie dolight
i?a to take you north on our boat. W hy
not*'"
But Minot shook his head.
"Can't spare the tluie. Thank you
just the same." lie replied. "I'd like
nothing better."
Amid expressions of regret the n.u
rowbys started for the elevator Mlnot
walked along the dusky corridor with
them.
••We've had a hit of cxcltement

?ar iiml departed for the uortb. And
n that c!fy of moonlight and roiuauce
Minot was loft practically alone.
lie took a little farewell walk
through that quaint old town, then re
tired to his' room to read another
chapter in die time table. At 4:20 in
the morning, he noted, a small local
:rain would leave for Jacksonville. lie
lecided he would take it. With no
tarlor cars, no sleepers, he would not be
likely to encounter upon it any of tiie
startled wedding party bound north.
He rushed through the gate just as
it was being closed and caught a

rear coach nntl threw himself and his

Five teconds later lie glanced across
the aisle and discovered in the oppo
site seat Miss Cynthia Meyrick. accom
panied by a very sleepy eyed family.
"The devil!" said Minot to himself.
Me knew that she would see in this
utter accident nothing save a dellber
ate act of following. What use to pro
test Ids innorenee?
He considered moving to another
scat. Hnt such a 'hoatrle act could
only increase the embarrassment. Al
ready his presence had been noted
Aunt Mary had given him a glare,
Spencer Meyrick a scowl, the girl a
cloudy vague "Where have I seen this
I person before?" glance In passing.
Spencer Meyrick went forward to the
smoker. Aunt Mary, weary of life,
slid gently down to slumber. Her un
lovely snore filled (lie dim car.
j How different tills from the first ride
together! The faint pink of the sky
grew brighter.
Some sense in looking out now. Mi
not saw a shack that seemed familiar,
then another. Next a station, beating
on its sad shingle the cheery name of
Sunbeam. And close to the station,
gloomy in the dawn, a desiccated
chauffeur beside an aged automobile.
Minot turned quickly and caught
Cynthia Meyrick in the a-.-t of peering
over bis shoulder. She had seen the
chauffeur too.
CHAPTER XX.
"One last rido together."
•'Fjrrt^T'E train had stopped a rao
t Ij jl meiit. but was under way
J B I again. In those brown eyes
L- _ j Minot saw something wistful,
something hurt, saw things that moved
him to put everything to a sudden test
He leaped to his feet and pulled madly
at the bell cord.
•'What—what have you done?" Star
tled. she stared at liitn.
"I've slopped the train. I'm going
1 to ride to Jacksonville as I rode to San
Mar o ages ago. I'm not going alone."
"Indeed!"
"(»uii k. The conductor will lie here
iti a minute. Here's a card and pencil.
Write a note for Aunt Mary.. Say
you'll meet them in Jacksonville. Hur
ry. please!"
"Mr. Minot!" with great dignity.
"One last ride together, one last
chan 'O for me to—to set things right
if I can."
"If ymi can."
"If—I admit it. Won't you give rno
the chance? I thought you would be
game. I dare you!"
For a second they g.tzed into each
other's eyes. The train had come to a
stop, and .unit Mary stiff; ;1 fretfully
in her sleep. With sudden decision
Cynthia Meyrick write on the card
anil dropped it on iior slumbering rela
tive.
"I know I'll be sorry—but"— she
gasped.
"Hurry! This way! The conductor's
coming there!"
A moment later they stood together
on the platform of the Sunbeam sta
tion, while the brief little train disap
peared indignantly in the distance.
"You sli- uldn't have made 1110 do
that!" cried the girl in dismay. "I'm
always doing things on the spur of the
moment—things I regret afterward."
"1 know. You explained that to me
opce. lint you can also do tilings on
the spur of the moment that you're
glad about all your life. Oh—good
morning, Carney OldOcid."
"(Jood morning," replied the rustic
chauffeur with gleeful recognition
"Where's it 10 this time, mister?"
"Jacksonville. And no hurry at all."
Minot held open the door, and the girl
stepped Into the car.
j "The gentlcL.au is quite mistaken,"
she said to the chauffeur. "There is a

"Ages of until lun<beon,"».re-i
plied .Minor blithely, also getting in.
"if you were thinking of announcing—
something—J lien."
"I shall have nothing lo announce,
I'm sure. But I must l<e in Jackson
ville before that train. Father will be
furious."
"Trust mc, lady," said tiie chauffeur,
grinding again at his hooded music
bos. "I've been doing stunts with this
car since I saw you last. Been over n
hundred miles from Suubeam. Begins
to look as thoush Florida wasn't going
to be big enough, after all."
lie leaped to the wheel, and again
that ancient automobile carried Cyn
thia Meyriek and the representative
of Boyd's out of the town of Suubeam.
But the exit was not a laughing one.
The giri's eyes were serious, cold, and
witli real c.'tiuci n in his voice Mlrot
spoke:
"Won't you forgive me—can't you?
I was only trying to bo faithful to the
man who sent me down hore—faithful
through everything, as I should be
faithful to you if you gave me the
chance. Is it too late, Cynthia"—
"There was a time," said the girl, her
eyes wide, "when it was not too late. •,
Have you forgotten? That night on !
the balcony when I threw myself at ?
your feet and you turned away—do {
you think that was a happy moment "
for me?" t
"Was it happy for me, for that mat- .
ter?" |
"Oh. I was buu ilmted, ashamed, t
Then your silly rescue of my gown, ;

"Would you have had me throw over
the men who trusted me''—
"I—I don't know. I only know that ,
I can't forgive what has happened in
a minute"— i
"What was that last?" |
"Nothing." *
"You said in a minute."
"Your ears are deceiving you."
"Cynthia, you're not going to punish
me bccausc I was faithful? Don't you
suppose I tried to pet some one in my
place?" (
"Did you?"
"The day I first rode on this car
with you. And then I stopped try
ing"—
"Why?"
"Because I realized that If some one
came in my place I'd have to go away
and never see you again, and I couldn't
do that. 1 had to be near you, dear
girl—don't worry, he can't hear, the
motor's too noisy- I had to be where
I could see that little curl making a
question mark around your ear, where
I could hear your voice. I had to be
near you even if to do it I must break
my heart by marrying you to another
man. I loved you. I love you now"—
A terrific crash interrupted. Dole
fully the chauffeur descended from the
car to make an examination. Dolefully
he announced the result.
"Busted right off," he remarked.
"Say, I'm sorry. I'll have to walk
back to the garage at Sunbeam, and—
and I'm afraid you'll have to jest sit
here until I come back."
"Cynthia," Minot cried, "I worship
you! Won't you"—
The girl gave a strange little cry.
"I wanted to be cross with you a lit
tle longer," she said almost tearfully.
"But I can't. I wonder why I can't?
I 'cried ail night at the thought of nev
er seeing yon again. I wonder why I
cried? I guess it's because for the
first time I'm really in love!"
•'Cynthia!"
"Oh, Dick, don't let me change my
mind again—ever—ever!"
"Only over my dead body!"
With one accord they turned and
looked at that quaint southern chauf
feur plodding along through the dust
and the sunshine. It did not seem to
either of them that there was any dan
ger of his looking back.
And happily he didn't
