It waits to sec what others do. and then It follows Hundreds ot personal decisions hinged on w hat the morning papers might reflect concerning the popular acceptance or nonacccptancc ot the startling Innovation proposed bj tho tool v orks To the anxious Archers the dawn came slowly on that July morning. The sun rose lazily, as If, like the dwellers In that brick-coloied splotch upon the landscape called Philadelphia he were too wearied with the mere exertion of awakening to be expected to do a da s work beside. .'ecrtheless, he went on about his busi ness, and by 8 o'clock had struggled throiijrli some hours of haze and turned a red and fier eve upon the statue of William I'enn overtopping the City Hall. Daylight, meantime, had brought the newspapers, and these, it appeared, by tho simple act of printing tlie liappcnlngs ot the day before, had supplied the neces sary power In the form of Ideas for sweeping those hundreds of doubters oer the line of decision.

In the morning news 'I lie fact that a run on a Buckingham sa. ings bank had been precipitated by with drawals to take up loans the Rucking, ham commercial banks were known to have refused, provoked the laughter. It also occasioned JeerB among those who did not like Buckingham, which, by the way, reminds us of something, and that was that Jerry had promised Ruth he would not mention Iter father's name He had kept his word faithfully botli In his sign nnd his advertising. Rut the papers were under no such restrictions In their news columns Most of them promptly put the cap on Mr. Bucking ham, and ever body saw that It fitted. In consequence, with the onus of responsibility clearly upon the man, the incident of the run upon the btar of Lib erty made an extra amount of talk In business and fffianclal circles. On the bourse when it opened. In the offices of trust and bonding companies and around the long boards of directors' meetings the phenomena came up for discussion Not that there were many among these who felt that the Archer popular loan should succeed, but there were many who doubted the wisdom of Buckingham in bringing things to such a pass. "Puts the money interests In a false. light " objected one bank president, with a fine distaste upon his face "Makes people dissatisfied and suspicious Very bad policy ! Very bad !" "The wurkt thins; Is, It teaches them their own power," eommented the sen era! manarer of a trust tompan, Buckingham himself got early to his office on this eventful day, as If with a premonition of something dangerous Im pending and made unpleasant by the feeling that for once events had played him false. He sensed that there had been misjudgment somewhere, and he roughed several of his lieutenants sharp ly with his tongue while getting the reins of business Into his hands for the morn Ing. Out at the Archer Tool Works, how ever, all was now serene and joyful When Jerry reached the works at about the time when the sun'H ras had got the .range ot the statue of William Penn. he found people waiting before the closed door, and a sprinkling of subscribers continued through the morning till 10:30 o'clock when, having had tlmeHo arrive from the banks, they began to come In crowds. By 12 o'clock it had become necessary to multiply their receUing organization by the addition of two extra tellers and the line was split In three as it emerged from the jiead of the stalrs.vhlle Henry T. and Paul were signing their nmes for dear life. By this same hour of 10:30. too. an observant eye would have noticed at Intervals of a minute or so, 'one de positor after another emerglpg from the Bide door of the Star of Liberty and marching Btraleht down to the Archer Tool Works. Tlie run on the savings bank continued, but the panickv spirit had gone out of It The wlthdrawers were now actuated by a clear intelligent purpose to get 6 per cent at Archers' Instead of ? 65 at the Star; and.

She paused uncertainly, expecting him to go on Instead ha waited a moment as though seeking his words carefully.

"1 see. I I understand. I I should be grateful that you have told me. But It is all so sudden. So terrible!" She paused before him. "I have betraved her," she stammered ttuocgh pallid lips. "You could do nothing else. His for tunes are heis " "But not this " she whispered. "It Is too ghastly!" . .. There was a long pause, and then, "Will jou make the Effort?" he askeU "lies." "You mus( leave In an hour," But how She looked at Renwick 'and, their glances met. "I will go with jou," he paid coolly. His gaze was on the dial of his watch nhlcli he had taken from his pocket and was regarding Judicially. His calmness, his Impudence, enraged her, Sho had worn, because of his falseness, that she would never see this man again, and here he was calmly proposing a night Journey Into Bohemia, and she was actu ally listening to him, hhe turned quickly toward the door and stood, one hand grasping the por tiere, while she turned a white face toward lilm. "Thanks, iierr Kenwlck, 8ite-saia icity, ' but I co alone." "That Is Impossible. There Is danger, Juthor e .i,1 - y "I came heie to tell you that if (lie A night Journey In a train of uncertain quality " "I hope jou will not waste worns I thank .vou for what you have done, but i i must go at once Renw Ick took a pace toward her. "Countess Strahnl, If you will listen to me " But he got no farther, for he knew that her will was as strong as his own, and that forgiveness was not to be lead In her eyes. "I beg that jou will excuse me, Icrr Renw Ick. The time Is short " He bowed giavelj-. "At least you will permit. me to order jou a fiacre " She nodded In assent, as tjiough to be rid of him, and then turned and went up the stairs, leaving Renwick to find his way out into tho datkness of the street. Mdrishka hurried to slier room and tang for her maid. In spite of the turbulence of her thoughts, she gave her orders calmly nnd then prepared for the Journej-. The Imminence ot the danger to Sophie Chotek should hae ob sessed her to tho exclusion of all per sonal Considerations, but while she dressed she could not halp thinking ot the imperturbable Impudence of her vis itor. Jits kindness, his thoughtfulness, tho fact that he had done her a service, and was at this very moment doing her another, gave her a sense of being In a false position, which made her most uncomfortable. And et one could not treat with ewntumely a person who Hcted In one's Interests. Ills calmness, his assurance enraged her. She would never see him again, of course, but'she seemed to feel the need of some llnal words to convince him of he depth of her disdain. He was so calm, so gravely cheerful, so assured, so maddeningly con siderate! Sl.e wonderetf now why she had not led him on to a renewed plea for forgiveness, that ehe might the more effectually have crushed, him. But her duty to Sophie Choteksoon drove these speculations as to the un fortunate Hcrr Renwick from her mind. Suppose that Sophto Chotek questioned closely as to the reasons for Marlshka'n sudden departure. What should sho say? The Duchess was not one who could easily .forgive a wrong. Her placid ex terior served well to conceal a strength of purpose which had already brought her many enemies tn the royal house. That she was capable of tenderness was shown In herndoratlon of her children, and In the "many kindnesses she had shown-' to Jlarlshka herself, but there was, too, a strain of the Czech In her nature, which harbored grievances, and was not, above retaliation. Marlshka's cause, as a loval Austrian's, was Just. and she had not faltered In doing whaU sue Knew tn bo her outj', uut, tne thought of seeking the Duchess, now that she had betrayed her, required all her courage. She had balked an am bitious woman, stultified all her efforts to advance the fortunes of her children, and had writ ton her husband before the House v of Hapsburg a traitor to his Emperor and his rouhtrj What If she had heard somethlmr and suspected? Would Hip Duchss even listen .to a plea for her own life and safety from the lips of one who had proved an enemj', a bread and salt traitor to the houses nf Austrla-Este and Chotek and WognlntN But Marishka did not falter, and when the fiacre came to the door she descended quickly. The Baroness fortunately had gone upon a lsit to friends In the coun try, but Marlshka l',t.a note with her maid which explalnayier absence, and departed alone for ,thji railroad station, feeling very helpless' and xorlorn, but none the less determined to see her ven ture through to Its end. The last warning words of the guards had been given and the train was al ready In motion when she heard a warning "Sh " at the open window, where a head and a pair of shoulders appeared, followed Immediately by' an entire body which was suddenly pro jected through the opening and landed head first upon the floor. Marlshka had risen, a scream on her lips, but some thing familiar In the conformation of the figure restrained her. The tangle of legsjand arms took form and a head appealed, wearing a monocle and a smile It was the imperturbable but peralstent Herr Renwick. CHAPTER V Two Intruders MARISHKA wan too dismayed for a moment to trust her tongue to speech. That she was anrrv she knew. for she felt the blood rising to her. temples, ana tne words tnat nung on ner lips were bitter, cruel and unreasoning-. "It Is a pltj Herr Renwick." she be gan quite distinctly In English, "that vou have neither the good taste nor the Intelligence to leave me to my own de vices." 4 Renwick gathered up his htlck and straw hat, bowed politely and seated himself opposite her. Indeed, as the train was now moving rapidly, no other course was open to him. But he wore no look of recantation. His calmness was more Impudent than ever. vand he even tool, out and reset his monocle, "Oh. I sa Countess Strahnl." he said, "that's ratlier rough on a chap. I had to come. It wen wiser, vou know." "I care nothing for j'our wisdom " she said scornfully." "If It Is no more firmly seated than jour sense of honor. It can be of little value to vou or to me." "I'm sorrjv I will try not to Inter fere with jour comfort " "You you arranged this" as the thought came to her "this opportunity for a (ete-a-tete?" ine uoumeins ot-rauui n cuiicenuoii ui a tete-a-tete may differ from mine," he said -with a smile. But his coolness only Inflamed her tin more. " "You have taken an unpardonable lib erty," she said wildlj'. "You have already- passed the bounds ot decency or consideration You have been not only Impudent but ridiculous. One service you have done me tonight. I thank jou. You may do me another by getting out at the first station." He folded his arms and regarded her gravely. T regret that that Is Impossible," "Why, please?"

Indeed, Marlshka eat leaning forward looking nt him nppcal tngly, aware that, after all, here was the only prop she had to lean upon In this extremity. Sho did not speak. Tho wrong he had dono her and Aus tria was great, unforgivable, but the merit of his scrvlco In this situation was unmistakable. Inlmlcablo as he might be to the sentiments In her heart, there was no disguising the relief his presence gave her or the confidence that radiated from Ills calm assurance. "One ofthe men I have seen before,1' he said. "He has gained some celebrity In the secret service You sec. we must give him the slip before we get to Bud wols. This train makes Heveral stop3.

' "Er that would be most unfortunate," he muttered, as though to himself. "You don't think they will, do you?" she appealed. .."I',2",,,.,e l ion'1 know," he said thoughtfully. .At the next station a surprise awaited tnem. The door of their compartment was opened, a man entered nnd, bowing most politely, quickly closed the door be hind him. Marlshka examined him with apprehension, noticing that he seemed more Interested In the Englishman than In herself, for In the brief glance he gave Renwick the suavity of his demeanor seemed for a brief moment to have changed. 4 He was "a person of middle age, tall, stockllv hullt. but withal rather Jaunty In appearance, and when he smiled again he disclosed a gold tooth which seemed to Marlshka for some reason inexpres sibly reassuring. He rubbed his hands together and looked a great deal like a successful headwalter in mufti. But he glanced from one to the other quickly and settled himself In a corner with an air of belngivery much at home, which removed the earlier Impression. Ren wick took the Initiative at once "A pleasani evening,1' he said to the newcomer. In German. "One might say so," replied the other bowing calmly. r'?ut J,e.. doesn't" aBIed Renwick.
