Frantically he. shouted into the transmitter, but ne answer ecame nor could he hear a. sound. He dashed the receiver upon the hook and rushed across the room, tearing off the house coat he had been wearing over his evening clothes. Even in his terror and despair his mind acted quickly and he deters mined to go out to Jresteliff. The Allens had a handsome country home on the shere of the lake. It was only ten miles from the city and Holland knew that he could make it in an automobile gquicker than he could tele- phone to the station five miles be- yond and have police help sent. A twenty-four horsepower touring car was in the.stable ‘at the rear of the house, with the tanks all filled in apticipation of an early- run .in the morning. He was glad now that he had seen to it that the car was ready | to go out. In less than five minutes he had donned furs, a leather cap and gog- gles and was tearing along the boule- vard as rapidly as he dared. Two miles out the city line was passed and he threw the lever over to the highest notch, and, with a tremendous spurt, the big car shot ahead. It was known that Mr. Allen fre- quently kept large sums of money in the house and the discharged coach- man must have known that there was money in the safe that night.

He had hoped to see her at . the Bryans' party that evening and it was the announcement that she would not be there that had led him to call up Enid on his early return. from the dinner which had preceded the dance. He thought as he rushed along that he would have. asked her to be his wife that evening. .Now he wondered if he would find her lying mortally wounded upon the flpor. ~ Had she shot the. burglar she would have an- swered.

The telephone, he knew, was in the hall on the second floor, and thither he directed his steps, but as he passed the library he saw through the open door & man stooping over the safe, apparently at work on the com- bination. Before he could make a spring the figure started up, and Gerald found himself looking down the barrel of a dainty revolver—the very weapon he remembered having seen Enid use the summer before in camp at Indian Is- land; the one she had told him she would use for her protection. This man must have taken it from her body. Unmindful of the consequences, he made a leap and caught at the hand holding the weapon. ‘There was a flash, a report, and a light blow on the arm. Then came a stinging sensation in the right arm, and just as the blood, running down the sleeve reddened the hand, the burglar, .with an entirely feminine shriek, dropped to the floor. The soft hat. fell off and great masses of dark brown hair, réleased from confinement, framed Enid's face. There was -water and spirits on the table, and hastily tying his handkerchief about his arm Gerald knelt beside the limp figure and forced some brandy between her clenched lips. In & moment she opened her eyes, regarding him dreamily. ‘“What are you doing here?’ she asked. Then, as it all came back to her, “Have I killed you?" v “Just a little flesh wound,” he said, reassuringly. = “It's nothing serious. But: how do you come to be in this guise? I thought they had killed you.” “It was a mouse,” she confessed, shamefacedly. “I was talking to you and-a great big mouse ran across the floor .toward me. I threw the tele- phone book at-it and broke a vase, but it only ran toward me. I jumped on a chair. and fired my revolver at it. I was so scared I did not know what I was doing.” “But the crash right afterward?” he asked. 4T fell off the chair and struck my head against a cormer, It stunned me for a while, and when I could get back to the telephome you had gone.” “But how about the clothes?"” “Why, I thought there might be men hanging around, €0 I put on father's old coat and hat and went out on the porch so that if there were burglars about thay would think it was a man.” She opened the coat to show the dainty house gown beneath, and in spite of the burning of his arm he had to smile. “Then I came in' and you mistook me for a burglar,” he llu’itd. -*“That cap looked llke a mask,” she sgid defensively. % -“I never thought of that,” he ex- claimed, “and you had your coat collar turned up so that it looked like a dle- guise. Well, you've captureéd me, al- though I'm' no burglar, and you've got to ‘keep me now.* She looked tenderly up from the arm she .was dressipg. er,” she whispered.—Copyright, 1805, by P.
