women and boys tried to catch glimpses
of him through the plate glass of the
doors Wilkins had not yet recovered
Consciousness.
The ward in which Wilkins lay when
he regained consciousness was unlike
his previous conceptions of hospital
The ceiling, at which he found himself
staring. was in a series of small arches,
painted in a glossy yellow that reflect
ed the light annoyingly. The walls
were of a sickly blue, and the floor was
the hue of battlefield after the car
mage. The upper portions of the win
dows were set with blue glass that was
out of harmony with every other color
in the room.
The cot on which he lay was of iron,
and there were eight or ten other white
-fron-coes- srrsASe4- the walls with
only room between for small iron ia
bles. A walnut board, with clamp to
hold the chart for the temperature rec
ord, was hung at the head of each cot.
And through everything and over ev-
erything prevailed the penetrating odor
Of iodOfOrm.

sight to gladden. the eyes of a rival.
Around his head we're others of those
white bandages that seemed to be the
favorite headdress in this corner Of the
world, but the great touch of art was
his left eye. Blues and greens and
blacks in deep tones formed decora-
tive masterpiece below that left eye,
and gave him a sinister appearance
that jeered at his cheerful smile.
"She-?" queried Wilkins, in a voice
that he was surprised to find weak.

touched her. You couldn't have done
it better if you had tried"
You look in a bad fix, Willy" Will

good news.
'Oh, yes, pretty bad" Willy agreed
'But nothing to what you are in for. .
"Why?" asked Wilkins. What hap

vault, of which he had the only key,
Appleby had kept various personal pa
pers and documents, together with cou-
pom bonds amounting to nearly $40 900.
Wishing to detach the matured cou-
pons, he that morning had sent Miss
Holland to the bank after the bonds,
giving her the key TO his drawer and
a note to Henderson.
Miss Holland and her relations with
Appleby being known at the bank, the
bonds had been delivered to her, and
she had put them in a satchel and re-
turned to her cab. Just as she was
about riding away. however, the man
whom she thought one of the clerks
had hurried down the steps of the bank
building and approached the cab win
dow, stating that slight mistake had
been made in giving her the bonds,
and that he would rectify it if she
would wait just a moment.
With no misgivings she had allowed
him to take the satchel, with which he
had hasSned back into the bank build
ing, and not for several minutes did
the possibility of robbery occur to the
waiting girl. Then, faint with sud-
den alarm, she had undertaken to re-
overcome just as Morris Donald was
approaching.
Despite the general CONSERVATION and
need of haste, Donald delayed to COM
fort and reassure her, saying with quiet
| fervor:
Don't weep so, Miss Holland. Have
courage, knd trust me to pull you ,oui

grimly muttered THAT girl has, with

What are your views?"
1.-THE thief certainly knew the bonds
were to be called for this morning and
at precisely what hour. Otherwise he
could not have been so well prepared.
He was lying in wait for the girl, pos
sibly concealed in the street corridor,
and was rugged up as clerk merely

without a doubt" growled Gibson
under his breath. Her tears, as well
as her story, are only bluff"
BY Jove, it seems hard to believe"
There's nothing else to it," insisted
Gibson. Somebody must have tipped
off the thief. It's a cinch that Appleby
did not do it, Yet we are told that only
he and the girl knew she was to call
for the bonds If their stalk was I'M

He dashed into the bank, leaving
Gibson to follow with the agitated girl
1t then was nearly noon, and it was
purely by chance that Morris Donald

The last from the tremulous lips OF

Morris Donald as he approached her,

She had stepped from cab at the
