BUTLER MO. ¢ For answer the old lady raised her delicate white hand and pressed the knob of the electric bell. “There is just time for you to es- cape,” she said, “the way you came If you stop to kill me you may be late.” Flash Dick, who at no time was the man to use violence, turned away with a muttered curse, and darted swiftly to the window. He glanced cautiously out to see that the coast was clear, and then staggered back into the room pale and trembling. That clinee had shown —him-et least a dozen shadowy figures dart- ing to and fro on the snow outside. At the same time there was the sound of hurrying footsteps outside the door. “Trapped!” he muttered, white to the lips. “Step behind that sereen!” said the old lady's calm voice. Flash Dick opened his eyes wide with astonishment, but he was quick to obey. As he disappeared the door was flung open unceremoniously and a group of excited men and maid ser- vants swarmed into the room, But 9n seeing their mistress seated calmly and undisturbed by the fire, they came to a standstill awkwardly and in silence. At length the gray haired old butler, who was a lifelong servant to the family, came forward. Excuse me, my lady, but er—er— you rang.” “Yes, Parker, the fire wants more fuel. But what is the meaning of this?” And she looked coldly at the group of frightened servants. “Excuse me, my lady, but have you not been disturbed?” “Not until this minute.” “The fact is, my lady, a well known thief has been staying at Sylvester Ams in the village for the last two days. Hehas been watched by a private detective, and to-night he was seen to leave the inn, and his footsteps have been traced in the snow right up to this window, There is every reason to believe, my lady, he is somewhere in this room.” “This is nonsense.” “You will permit us to search, my lady?” “No: kindly retire, all of you, and do not let me be disturbed again.” But while the conversation had been going On, Tomkins, a courag- down upon her out of their heavy gold frames.

A bright fire burned in the magni- ticent open fireplace; but, in spite of this, a somber air enveloped the apartment. The rich, dark tapest- ries, the heavy, old oak furniture, and the soft light from the solitary, care- tally shaded tamp,which:stood-1-tit: tle to the rear of the lady's chair, combined to produce this effect Suddenly the old lady was startled into wakefulness, A swift current of Witterly cold air swept into the room, » old lady looked up witha tshiver.

Then he return- ed slowly to the old lady by the fire. A whimsical smile played about the rouge’s face, and corners of his mouth twitched nervously. “I am only a vulgar thief,” he said in a voice that broke slightly inspite of his efforts to keep it steady, “and sentiment isnot much in my line; but I wish you would take charge of this ke¥—just to keep me out of temp- tation, you know ” The old lady took the key, and then she took the thief’s hand and fondled it ina motherly way, while she looked up, smiling through her tears into his face. “My dear boy, be good. From this night be good. My own dear son committed a crime ten years ago, and became a vulgar thief, as you say. A kind friend saved him from ruin and disgrace. He went to Amer- ica, and under another name he worked hard to redeem the past. He succeeded, he prospered. and now I am happy, because I know he is liv- ing an honest and a useful life. You will do the same, my lad. Your face looked more like a commercial trav- eler than a housebreaker, The collar of his overcoat was turned up about his ears, his hat was tilted over his eyes, and he carried a neat-looking black handbag. The old lady surveyed him with a coolness equal to his own, “Shut the window, my man,’ she said, quietly. Her voice was low and gentle, but quite clear and unbroken by the least tremor of fear. Theman looked at her admiringly. “Madam, you have nerve andcom- mon sense—so much the better, 1 have only a few minutes to do my business, so please answer me briefly and clearly.” He closed the window and returned to her “Youare in the habit of keeping money and jewels in this room, Where are they?” VEE “Oh, and Mr, Harry’s visit is striet- ly private.

Then he fell on his knees, and, taking the hem of the old lady’s dress, he pressed *t to his lips. And while he knelt there, with bow- ed head, the lady tenderly stroked his hair with her gentle fingers as though she were soothing a naughty but repentant child. “Poor lad! Poor lad!” Flash Dick, a cracksman of un- doubted talent and unlimited assur- tinea well krrown to the potiee of Lon- don, Paris and New York, and cap- able of taking care of himself inmost awkward. was hind the sheltering screen, What he saw satisfied his curiosity and _ demolished his courage. Witha shriek of terror he leaped back, drag ging the screen with him. It fell with a crash to the floor, and Dick, fully master of himself now that the game was up, strode forward with a smile on his handsome face. The women servants shrank back with a chorus of shrieks. “That's him, my lady, that’s the thief!” cried the old butler, stepping pluckily forward between his mistress and the desperado. Lady Sylvester arose. “Parker,” she said, calmly, “do not make yourself ridiculous. That gentleman is no thief!” The old servant looked at her in bewilderment. “Then who—” The old lady turned and faced the group of wondering servants, and said in clear, even tones: “This gentleman is my son, Mr. Harry Sylvester.”’ A gasp of surprise was the only an- swer to this astounding statement, but the old butler leoked at his mis- tress, and theireyes met. The old lady’s were stern and steady, and Parker, with the intelligence of a well-trained servant, allowed his gaze to fall and said, respectfully: “T beg your ladyship’s pardon and Mr. Harry’s as well. “My eyes are not so good as they were, and this story ofa housebreaker has made us all lose our wits, I fancy.” “My son is here for a very brief visit, Hewillstay the night.

We shall not be disturbed until I ring.” As she spoke she pointed to the knob of an electric bell within easy reach of her hand. The man’s face became livid. “Ti you touch that I'll kill you,” he said between his teeth. There wasa shade of contempt, but still no fear, in the old lady's tones when she spoke again. “Foolish boy, I do not fear death, For ten years I have been waiting patiently for his arrival. Sit,down, my lad, and hear what I have to say.” f Flash Dick, to bis own astonish- ment, found himself obeying. “I have a son,” said the old lady. “Very interesting, I am sure,” re- plied Dick, ginning round the room and making a rapid inventory of ite contents. ‘ “Thave not seen him-for ten years.
