"All right."
As they started down the station
stairs, he drew her arm through his
again, but there was no pressure from
hers. Together they made the atreet.
A desire shot into bis bleed and took
possession of him before he could repel
it te kiss ber na he bad kissed Jenny !
But this act was net en 'the knees or
the gods. There was-a dark alley in
between. He waa half way past this
alley, when he heard a acutter of feet,
and understood instantly what was
about te happen.
"Run, Nancy! Run!" he cried.
Before he could set himself te de
battle, the avalanche of human beings

effectively. There were no rulea te this
combat, no chivalry; kill or be killed.
He could have pulverized any two of
mese unmaniy nn out-ieur: une of
his eyes was closing, his tips were pulp,
his nose was bleeding, and there was
a dagger-like hurt In the small ribs.
Rut he was giving mark for mark, hurt
for hurt.
It waa when, for a second, Nancy
saw his face, bloody and battered, In
the atreet light which hung obliquely
from the alley that she came out of her
hypnosis. Sue rushed into the melee
as a .tigress after her whelp. With
furious hands she seized one of the
ruffians by the cellar and dragged htm
tack. When he suw that it was n
woman, he snarled, wheeled, gave her
a buffet en the mouth that smothered
and stunned her. The male animal will
net fight the female of the species; but
there are male humans who like noth
ing better than te pommel the teft flesh
of a woman.
The blew did net take the fight out
of Nancy, but it made her reasonable.
She turned and ran diszlly down the
atreet for help. She never theuaht te
cry out. That waa one nf the peculiar
phases of this battle against odds ; there
were no sounds above the panting lungs,
the thud of buffcta and the aeuflln a

As the Homeric enthusiasm began te
oeia out of him and clvlllxatldn edged
let way, back, Jerry found himself
sorely put te keep from going down for
the third time, which he guessed would
he the last. Se new the notion came
te him te take te his heels ; but it came
