Have they told you that “I can’t remember,” said Renata, bursting into tears. “Oh, Jane, you don't know what it's likel—to be locked in here—to have them come and ask quustions until I don’t know what I'm saying—and to know, to know all the time that If I make one slip I'm lost.” “Yes, ves, but it's going to be all right,” szid Jane “I can’t sieep,” sobbed Renata, “and |1 can't eat.” She held up her wrist and looked at it with interest. “I've got ever o much thinner.” Jane could have slapped her. She reflected with thankfulness that Bo- livia was a good long way off. “Now, look here,” she sald, talk about ‘they'—who are ‘they’ “There's a man in a fur coat,” fal- tered Renatz—“that is to say, he generally has on a fur coat; he al- ways seems to be cold. Ie's the worst; I don’t know his name, but they call him Number Two. He's Enz- lish. Then there’s Number Four. He's a forelgner of some sort, and he's dreadful—areadful.

Oh, | 3ane, I'm so dreadfully frightened!” Renata’s eves, wide and terrified, stared past Jane into vacancy. “You needn’t be in the least fright- | ened; you're golng to Bolivia,” said Jane briskly “I must tell some one,” sald Renata, {still in that whispering voice—still |staring. “I didn't tell them, T | wouldn't tell them, but I must tell |some one. Jane, I must tell you what T heard.” Quick as lightning Jane put her hand over the other girl's mouth. “Walt!” she sald, and in the pause {that followed two things stood out in her mind clear and sharp. I Re- nata told her secret, Jane's danger would be doubled. 1f Renata did not tell it, the crime these men were planning might ripen undisturbed. Jane had a high courage, but she hesitated. Her hand dropped slowly to her side. She saw Renata’s mouth open protestingly, and there came on her a wild impulse to stave things off, to have time, just a little time before she let that secret in. “We've got to change clothes,” she sald. “Quick, give me that skirt and take mine. Yes, put on the coat and T'll give you my shoes, too. My hat's on_the bed; you'd better put it on.” Renata cbeyed. A resentful feel- ing of being hustled, ordered about, treated like a child, was upon her; but Jane moved and spoke so quickly and seemed so sure of herself that hes. s Feel Blue?

She thought Jane's blue serge shabby and old-fashloned—not nearly as nice as her own—and Jane's shoes were terribly worn and needed mending.

And-will you please remember now and from henceforth that you are Jane Renata Smith and not Renata Jane Molloy Jane was scribbling a couple of lines as she spoke, and as she turned and gave the paper into Renata's hand she knew that she must decide now. The moment of grace was up and whether she bade Renata spenx or be silent, there could be no draw- ing back. “What were you going to tell me?” she sald Renata stood silent for a long min- ute. She was twisting and turning the slip of paper which Jane had glven her. She looked down at her twisting fingers; her breath began to come more quickly. Then. with great suddenness, she pushed the note into her pocket and caught at Jane with both hands. “Yes, 1 must tell you—I must. It will be coming nearer all the time, and T must tell some one, or I shall g0 mad.” “Tell me, then, were walking in ¥ opened the door did you hear?” Jane's eyes were bright and steady, her face set. said Jane. “You our sleep, and you and heard—what | plate by cision and her courage rose to meet an unknown shock. “I was walking in my sleep,” re- peated Renata, in a low, faltering “and I opened the door and I “What did you hear?” “There was a screen in front of me, and just beyond the screen & man talking. I heard—oh, Jane, I heard every single word he said! I can't forget one of them—if I could, If I only coul “What did you hear?” sald Jane firmly. Renata’s grip became She leant forward until her lips touched Jane's ear. In a voice that was only a breath she gave, word for word, sentence by sentence, the speech in which Number Four had proclaimed the death sentence of the civilized world. It was just a bald transcript like the whisper of a phonograph record, as If the words and sentences had been stamped on an inanimate some recording machinery, tobe released again with utter reg- ularity and correctness. Every vestige of color left Jane's face as she listened. Only her eyes remained bright and steady. Some- thing seemed to knock at her heart. Renata’s last mechanical repetition died away, and with a sob of relief sho flung her arms around Jane. “Oh, Jane, I do hope they won't kill you! Oh, I do hope they won't!” “So do 1" said Jane. She detached herself from Renata, and as she did so both girls heard the same thing—from beyond the two closed doors the groan-and grind of the lift machinery in motion. “They've come back,” said Renata in a whisper of terror. Jane's hand was on the electric 1ight_switch before the words had left Renata's lips. As darkness sprang upon the room ehe had the door open. Her grip was on Renata’'s wrist, her arm about Renata’s waist, and they were in the hall. It seemed pitch black at first, desperate. She had taken her de- with a gloom that pressed upon their eyes and confused ‘the gense of di- vection. The 1ift rose with a steady rumble. Then, as Jane stared 'before her, the oblong of the window sprang into view. She took a step forward and felt Renata's head against her shoul- der. “I'm going to fain! Basp. “Then you'll never wsees Arnold again. Do you'want to be caught like this?” “Jane, | can't. Jane dragged her on, “Renata, you rabbit!—Iif they don’t ki1l you, T will. Faint in Bolivia as much as you like, but I forbid you to do it here.” “Oh, Jane!” Jane's arm felt the welght of a HWmp, sagging figure, but they bad reached the window. From the sill Arnold bent, listening anxiously. “Quick!” gasped Jane. And, as his arm relieved the strain, she pinched Renata with all her might. There was a sob—a gasp— Arnold lifted, Jane pushed, and some- how the thing was done. Arnold and Renata were outslds, crouched down between the parapet and the window, whilst Jane leaned panting against the jamb. As_tho lift stopped with a jerk, her rigid fingers drew the window down and fastened it. Now, horribly loud, the clang of the iron gate. Steps outside—voices—the grate of a key in the lock Jane knew now what Renata had felt. Easy, so easy to vield to this paralysis of terror, and to stand rooted there until they came! With all_her might she pushed the temp- tation from her and roused to action. Thank Heaven, she had had no time to put ‘on Renata’'s shoes! After the first movement strength and swiftness came to her. She was across the hall without a sound. The bedroom door closed upon her.

At the foot of the bed a chalir, and on the same side as the window a chest of drawers with a looking glass upon it and Renata’s plain schoolgirlish brush and comb. ‘When she had placed everything, Jane began to move forward in the direction of the window.
