PART III.
THURSDAY, SEPT. "a.

II was on Saturday afternoon, that
borilla's father asked her TO make her
self ready to go TO the village. When
she had her hat and gloves on, he brief
w outlined her errand.
IL am thinking of putting up block
cf- buildings myself" he concluded,
with wink at his wife.
S"Then why don't you go 10 the peo-
lple who built this, and ask them for
the plan?" she inquired, with the
cloudy look in her eyes which always
came when she was deeply moved.
II can't afford il, you little goose" he
answered with laugh. "They would
charge me big money"
DorilIa turned; slowly walked over
the hill to the village; did her errand,
and gave the plan to her father, having
finished il is soon as she was well con-
.cealed by the trees on her way home;
but she felt vaguely uncomfortable
over what she had done, and she went
back into the woods after a little, and
sat there on a rock thinking for long
time.
In her thought she lived over her life
sgain. She remembered how fondly
,she had adored her father before she
went 70 the convent. During the ycars

Now and then she had staid with her
father and mother at some hotel. The
quality OF these hotels had declined

Thomas Keasbey had grown gloomy

her beautiful presents, and at tho hotels,

was all so deeply confusing and be-
wildering that IL seemed TO her like a
horrible nightmare.
That Saturday night, five of the
friends" had come for Sunday, and
there was great supper 10 clear away.
Dorjlla wiped the dishes in the htch-
en- for her mother, saying little or moth
ing. Then they both sat down for mo-
ment on the cool back steps. Pres
emily Mrs. Keasbey spoke chidingly.
"What was you whispering and talk
ing so with Mikey for, Killa? You
know"
"Yes, / know" interrupted Dorilla,
impatiently. I'm tired OF hearing
about it. wish you would never men
tion MilSey 20 me again."
Mrs. Keasbey fumed and fretted on
weakly, but the girl made no further
reply. Suddenly n great white moth
came huttering down out of the dark
ness and settled upon her ruflled hair,
swaying his velvet wings back and
forth. The mother started as she saw IL.
"Where did TINT cone from, DorillaY'
"Where they always come from when
Tn around" laughed the girl, with a
little note of triumph in her voice.
Mrs. Kcasbey got up and went into
the house. She was half-afraid OF Do
rilla, when she was in this mood.
Two terrible weeks followed. The
men remained at the house all the time,
sleeping by day and roaming abroad
by night. Two or three times the girl
questioned her mother, but Mrs. Keas-
bey either answered nothing at all, or
in meaningless general terms. The
housework. even when performed after
that lady's easy methods, was a heavy
burden, though the men attempted TO
help, and one of them, who was baker
by trade, rendered considerable assist
nnce. They drank more than usual,
and Mr.. Keasbey was taciturn and
morose. Even MilSey was nervous and
drank too much. Dorilla could not get
away on Sunday for the class at the
schoolhousc. nor any visit with her
teacher during the week. She was in
wardly excited TO the highest pitch.
IL seemed as though she must 60 crazy.
On n certain Friday night, the crisis
came. For two weeks, every evening,
Thomas Kcasbey and his men, gather
ing singly, from different directions and
at different hours, had effected, by
means Of skeleton keys and other sim
pie tools, an entrance into the rotm
which lay above the vault of the bank.
They had raised the carpet there, re-
moved some planks, and bored into the
adamant cement below them. by eau
tious and persistent labor, they had nov
hcwed out n jagged hole In IL, large
enough 90 admit them. one by one. into
the bank below. The steel ceiling had
been partially drilled through.s Every
night. The dust and fragments had been
neatly swept into bags. the planlSs and
carpet had been replaced. the doors and
windows had been securely relocked,
and the great burglary had been n lit
tle nearer It's contamination - and
Thomas Keasbey had as yet no reason
TO fear that the slightest suspicion
had fastened upon their monuments.

heard directions given for the use OK
the explosives by means of which the
bank safe was to be blown open, and
what was to be done with the booty,
when the job was completed and the
smoke had cleared away. Then words
fell from Mikey which made her blood
ruin cold.
"The cashier sleeps there now, while
oil this money is there, as we'll as the
watchman. We can manage the watch

won't be so easy-and the cashier is

mike, you're - fool!" Dorilla
heard Thomas Keasbey rcioin fiercely.l
"What's that bottle of chloroform for?
There's enough of it for four men, and
it's TO use. Then there is that coil of
rope, and you ought TO have three or
four good gags in your pockets, every
one of you. Tie his hands and eyes as
quick as you can-and don't ask again

Dorllla heard illusions which showed
her plainly what use had been made of
her drawings. The whole terrible plot
stood revealed to her in all its ghastli-
ness. She reproached herself for a fool
that she had not understood it from
The first. Struck with a paralysis of
horror, she sat on the stairway, as
though she would never move again.

mat Gay the men slept long and
soundly. It was after six when they
assembled for their evening meal. The
October night was warm and close, but
they dared not have curtain up nor
n window open. Dorilla and her moth
er waited on them in silence. The
men were nervous and thirsty, but
Thomas Keasbey would not let them
drink much.
"We want clear heads tonight, boys"
he said. "Dorilla, fill the glasses once

maybe we'll have little more"
They did not sit long at the table,
md Mrs. Keasbcy and Dorilla, assisted
by MilSey, cleared up after them in a few
minutes. Mil1ey was very gentle that
night Even Mrs. Keasbey, who was
always short with him, in spite of
his solicitous efforts to please her, could
not help softening little when she saw
how deft and kind he was, but when
she marked the glances which passed
between him and Dorilla, her anger rose,
again.

But i'm her soul she felt sure, after all,
that the iron will of her husband would

her that anything could be stronger
than he.
Mickey at last joined them in the par
lor, into which the door stood opens
Dorilla could hear that the talking
which was going on there was excited,
though il was subdued in tone.
Mrs. Kensbey declared that she was
so tired she couldn't sit up moment

she recommended that Dorilla should
go to bed also. The girl obediently fol,

tening to the rustling of the pines.
After awhile she went out and sat on
the stairway.
Thomas Keasbey had heard his wife
and daughter depart for their rooms,
end he supposed that by this time they
were sound asleeps He was therefore
talking unreservedly with the men in
the parlor. Dorilla could hear almost
every word which was said there. She
