THE BUTTON THIEF

perplexity on his face. He stood there
motionless for several seconds. Then he
walked quietly and casually to the hall
door, where he once more stood motionless,
apparently listening, with the velour portiere
caught up in one white hand on which glim-
mered heavily jeweled ring.
The next moment Skeel beheld his captor
resort to an unexpected and ineXplicable
tactic. He saw the bearded figure suddenly
cross to the safe and take from it packet of
papers remarkably similar to the one that
he carried in his hand. Then he suddenly
stepped to where soft toned print of Mil
let's "Goose Girl hung between two SINH
larly framed pictures on the wall. The CEN
ter picture he lifted from its hook and placed
face down on the safetop. With quick and
dexterous thumb and forefnger he with
drew the slender wire nails that held the
backing of this picture in place. This back
ing, thin slab of pinewood, he next lifted
away He unfoided the two packets of
papers, fitted their edges together, and
placed them face downward on the picture
back. Over them he again adjusted the thin
slab of pinewood. Then he restored the
wire nails to the holes from which he had
withdrawn them. Then he rehung the print
of the slender limbed Goose Girl with her
water kissed heel and her sun kissed body.
himself as he stroked his sleek and scented
beard then he stepped back to the safe,
swung shut the narrow steel doors, and once
more spun the dial of the combination lock.
Then he crossed the room to window and,
unlocking its sill fastening, quietly raised
the sash.
Skeel could sniff the cooler night air that
began to drift into the room. He was in a
tingle of apprehension, however, at the
thought that the Russian was now not more
than six PAGES from him. He again pom
dered just what he would do if some caprice
brought his captor to that door which con-
cealed his uneasy and sweat moistened
body.
But the man with the beard seemed to be
otherwise engaged He once more crossed
the ROOM making no noise as he went, and
listened beside the door opening into the
hall. Then he turned and snapped out the
electric lights, leaving only shaded reading

lamp burning on desk midway between the
cabinet safe and the opened window. Then,
having looked studiously about the room, he
crossed to this window and stepped out upon
what Skeel surmised must have been the
platform of a fire escape, leaving the room
empty.
THERE was minute or two of utter
silence. This silence was suddenly shat
tered by the shrill and clangor of the tele-
phone bell on the wall. 1t rang, and rang
still again; but the mysterious Russian, for
some reason, preferred to leave the call un-
answered
1t suddenly flashed over Skeel that the en-
tire performance was for his own benefit,
that the Russian had in some way discovered
the fact of the intruders presence there and
was giving him chance to make his escape
without embarrassment. A moment of more
sober second thought, however, convinced
Skeel of the absurdity of this He realized
that the owner of that room would never dis
miss an intruder in any such offhand man.
ner. Yet, even as he realized this, he was
possessed of sudden determination to bolt,
to run for it, to get out to freedom before he
could be interfered with. He even decided
as he took deeper BREATH that he could get
through the door and dodge into his own
room, or even into Burchard's, before he
could be discerned or captured. And every
minute now, he remembered, he was losing
time, precious time!
Skeel swung back the door an inch or two,
keying himself up for the plunge. He meas
ured the distance between the hallway and
the spot where he stood, measured it with
quick and decisive eyes. Then he listened
for a moment or two to make sure no sound
from that window
Now, he told himself with fortifying tight
ening of muscles, was the time! And once
more he measured the distance between his
prison door and freedom.
But he did not emerge from his prison
with the white tiled walls Instead, he sud
denly drew farther back into the darkness of
his hiding place; for, even as he stared at
that hall door, he saw it silently and slowly
open and figure as silently and slowly step
into the room.

thousand dollars week in and week out, or
an outlay for the season on this one company

percentage of the gross receipts averages
from seventy to eighty; but it means play
