the bedside. Shall / read you off to

She began to read in a low tone,
and presently, as Eva was about to
doze off again Sadie heard, or thought
she heard a faint movement in the
corridor outside the door of the room.
She stopped to listen. but Eva woke
at once; and, unwilling to rouse her
fears, Sadie continued to read until her
charge had dropped asleep.
Putting the book down Sadie went
to the door and listened. All was still
outside. Yet it was singular hat they
Pboth should have heard some sort of
movement. Could anyone be about at
such a time? If SO, for what purpose?
Was the attempt to be renewed in
some form?
Softly and silently she passed back
through the room and entered her
own. The door leading from the cor
ri6or stood ajar. She could have taken
an oath that she had not only closed II,
but locked it also.
She turned up the lishts. The room
was empty. A touch Of unusual nerv-
came to her, and she closed
and locked the door now, without ven-
turing to go outside into the passage.
Then she examined thereon. Every
thing was as usual, and nothing out of
it's place even.
Suddenly she gave a start. The
black cloak she had worn was missing.
And with it the two pieces of cord
the evidence against Gilbert Dorrison.

To that mood a feeling of intense
thankfulness succeeded. She had moi
only escaped from the peril of death
but had saved Eva. The danger had
been real and terrible, but it was oveI
now. The last of the fearsome risks
had been met and beaten. And she
began to count up the advantages she
had gained in frightening Dorrison
from the house.
She had indeed won the very thing
she most desired. 1t was all-important
for her plans that he should be absent
from B~roadstone for the next few
hours, and it was out of the question
that, after such a scare. he would ven
ture to return until she and Eva were
well away on their journey. Once away,
she would have no difficulty in dealing
with him.
But she would take no risks even for
the rest of that night. She would n
tinue her watch. Not that she feared
Broadstone, now that his evil genius
was gone. He was a coward of cow
ards at heart, too despicable to be
feared in n open encounter. But
she would keep her vigil.
She set the door between the two
rooms open, therefore, and laying aside
her black coat sat down to wait for
the daylight and think out her course
in detail.
In this way the time slipped past
until she heard Eva cry out. She hur-
ried in and found her sitting up in
bed. "You called, dear?"
"Ah, you, Margaret. How good you
are. I thought l heard a noise. 1

rushed from Sadie's room was to
continue his journey to London;
but as he reached the shelter of some
shrubbery he paused TO see IL any

He chose. a spot which gave him a

and stayed there watching and think

woman who had foiled him. She held
his fate in her hands. and while she
lived and held that damning evidence
over him his life was not safe.
The great house remained dark; and
when he had satisfied himself that she
had not raised the alarm his courage
began to revive. He had been pro-
foundry frightened by the outcome of
his attempt, but he was no coward, and
now his desperate situation rendered
him almost reckless.
His plight was so bad that nothing

He had been a coward and a fool. But
was it too late ever now to get them?
For a short time he thought this over,
and soon came to a decision. He could
get into the house again easily enough.
He had the key of one of the side doors,
and regretted now that he had not used
it to enter before, instead of seeking
