an ~ unusua! thing for her to be out Of the

evening, on Potts's return fiSm The bank
the news was communicate | to him.
The rage Of Potts ned not be de.
scribed here. That one who had twice de-.
NED should now escape him entirely. He
organized all his servants into bands and
they secured the grounds till darkness put
an end to these operations.
That evening Potts and his two compan.
Ions dlned in moody silence, only convers-
ing by fits and starts.
Il don't think she's killed herself" said
r0tts, in reply to an observation of Clark.
Shes got stuff enough in her to do it, but
don't believe she has. She's playing a
deeper game. l only wish we could fish
up her dead body out Of some pond it

"lf she's got off she's taken with her
some secrets that won't do US any good"
remarked John.
"The devil of it is," said Potts, I'VE
don't know how much she does know. She
must know precious lot, or she never
would have dared to say what she did,"
But how could she get out of the park?"
said Clark. "That wall is too high to
climb over, and the gaces are all locked"
ITS my opinion" exclaimed John,
that she's in the grounds yet"
Potts shook his head.
AFTER what she told me it's my belief
she can do any thing. Why, didn't she
tell us of crimes that were committed be
fore she was born ? I begin to feel shaky,
and it is the girl that has made me so."
Potts rose 10 his feet, plunged his hands
deep into his pockets, and walked up and
down. The others sat in gloomy silence.

"She didn't know any thing to tell"
Mrs. Compton must have Blown, them"
Mrs. Compton didn't know. tell you
there is not one human being living that
knows what she told US besides ourselves
