which would put his fate to the test.
As he had done innumerable nights
before, he strOlled down the road
about half mile and then returning
took up a position opposite the VIII
liaTus cottage in the shadows Of the
roadside bushes and waited for the
light in her room to be eXtinguished.
Jack Ailerton, for a sane man, you

Self he said finally as the light that
he was watching went out and he
turned to depart again.
Suddenly he stopped short with a
catch in his breath.
A dark form had passed quickly
across the lawn and been swallowed
up by the shadow of the house.
Allerton sprang to the low fence
that surrounded the Williams ground,
and vaulting over. made his way
stealthily toward the spot where the
form had disappeared. The dining
room window was open, and q man
was clambeTing clUmsily into the
room.
For a moment Allerton hesitated.
while he rapidly thought out a plan of
action. The house must not be aroused
lest Estelle be alarmed. Whatever
was to be done must be done quickly
and quietly.
Allertons mind was soon made up.
Gliding from shadow TO shadow he
reached the open window by which the
man had entered the house. Crouch
ing beneath it he slowly raised his
head so that he could look into the
room.
As his eyes became accustomed to
the darkness he could dimly make out
the form of a man moving stealthily
around the room with Outstretched
arms, feeling along the walls. When
he reached the door he passed into the
hall and out of sight.
Was he going upstairs?
AIlerton's heart was in his mouth.
Placing his hands on the window
seat he drew himself up and jumped
lightly into the room. 1t was now q
game of hide and seek. and Allerton
was lit" For moment he listened.
But the man apparently knew his
business well. Not a sound broke the
stiffness of the night
AS AllertOn stealthily made his way
across the ESOm, he kicked something
along the floor. STOPPING and cropping
in the darkness he found a shoe. a
mans shoe. Taking the cue Allerton
quickly removed his own shoes and
slipped silently out into the hall
Again ne listened, but not q creak-
ing board or stair gave him any hint
of the direction the man had taken
after leaving the dining room. AlIer-
ton stopped and thought again. What

1t could scarcely be called a sound.
but to AIlerton's straining ears it
seemed as loud as the roar of Niagara.
