There were lights in several Of the
rooms downstairs, and at the rear he
found Il door unlocked and softly EN-
tered. The telephone, he knew, was
in the hall on the second floor. and
thither he directed his steps, but as
be passed the library he saw through
the open door Il man STOPPING over h

Before he could make Il spring the
figure started up, and Gerald found
himself looking down the barrel OF a
dainty ~revolver-the very weapon lie

summer before in camp at Indian is

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
singing sensation in the right arm,
and Just as the blood running down
the sleeve Redeemed the hand the bur-
glar, with an entirely feminine shrek,
dropped to the floor.
The soft hat fell off, and great mass
es of dark brown hair, released from
confinement. framed Ends 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 clinched lips.
In a 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?"
Just a little flesh wound" he said
r%eassuringly. Its nothing serious.

porch so that if there were burglars
about they 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 you came in and mis-
took me for q burglar?" he laughed.
"That cap looked like a mask" she
said defensively.

claimed. land you had your coat collar

She looked tenderly up from the arm

pered.
