The chief WAS apparently becoming

A few moments later ne closed the out
lock amid the fast gathering darkness.
A half hour passed. and II seemed a
long time to the trio. when a light foot
step was heard. and out from the dark
ness form glided stealthily. The
watchers caught their breath and
silently waited. The form paused q mo-
ment and then sllded to a sewing ma
chine In the centre Of the room. and
STOPPING. struck n match softly upon the
floor. and as II flared up the face OF q
woman bending over II was plainly Wis
ible. The woman was Miss Ray.
The match soon died out. but II gave
sufficient light for an instant for her TO
reach out and draw several boxes to-
wards her. and then she removed the lids
and began removing the pieces of goods,
silk and velvet, therein.
The watchers could not see Just what
she took, but they heard the rustic OF
the silk and paper and felt rather than
saw her take stout card from her pock-
Of; and after seemingly folding the goods
into as small a compass as possible she
arose TO her feet. then lifting her dress
skirt tied the string. across which hung
the various pieces of goods. around her
waist.
Softly shaking out her skirts. she then
quietly unlocked the door and left the

footsteps died away In the distance one

before her.
"Weli. what's ur?" asked the Chief. as
he entered the rom and removed his
cap.
The senior partner whired around.

fingers In her ton.

There was the usual hustle and chatter

the dimly lighted hall she easily escaped
notice and quietly eturned.
No one saw her enter save the chief.

hind a stack OF boxes and goods.
Mr.. Potter. the senior partner, had
gone on In hurry. but the Junior part

from n loophole and saw all,
Margaret Lee quietly slipped out Of

about. thinking everything was all right,
