CHAPTER XIlI.-Continued.

They passed long series of doors,
the glass panels of which were in
scribed, THE Wallingham Company
Private" with index fingers pointing
the direction Of the main entrance.
This was the Chicago branch of the
great New York corporation, and
Thomas Wallingham, ST., had placed
his son in charge of it two years
before. The business was the manu-
facture of refrigerators One side of
the reception room which Orme en-
tered hurriedly, Alcatrante still be-
side him, was given over to a large
specimen refrigerator chamber, built
in with glistening white tiles. The
massive door, three feet thick, was
wide open, showing the spotless inner
chamber. In the outer wall was a Their
mometer dial fully foot in diameter.
Once inside the reception room
Orme stopped and looked again at AL
catrante. There was menace in the
look, but the South American did not
finch. Indeed, the glance which met
his own seemed to Orme to be dis
armingly good natured. It's essence
was a humorous recognition that the
situation had a ridiculous side.
But Orme, knowing that much was
at stake. did not for an instant trust
his unwelcome companion. Alca-

Prisoners IN the Dark.
Ormes hand still held her skirt.
Girl" he whispered.
Yes. Are you hurt?"
Her voice came to him softly with
all its solicitude and sympathy. She
knelt, to help him if need be, her
warm, supple hand rested gently on
his forehead. He could have remained
for a long time as he was, content with
her touch, but his good sense told him
that their safety demanded action.
Not hurt at ALL" he said, and as
she withdrew her hand, he arose. al

this chamber to wait for yor."
And here we are" Orme laughed

Orme hunted his pockets for a
match. He found just one.
Il don't suppose. Girl, that you hap

to her, then get Alcatrante from the
room.
In casual way he folded his arms.
He could now put his hand into his in
side coat pocket and the motion would
hardly be noticed.
For a moment he stood as though
waiting for some one to appear at the
inquiry window Though Alcatrante
was watching him closely, Orme con-
tinued to act as If he were the only
person in the room.
And now the dial of the big Their
mometer in the outer wall of the re-
frigerator appeared to catch his eye,
and he strolled over to it. This placed
him almost in the open doorway. APP
parently his eyes were on the dial, but
in reality he was glancing sidewise into
the chamber of the refrigerator. He
glimpsed a moving figure in there
heard a faint rustling. Thrusting his
hand into the inside of his coat, he was
about to take out the precious papers
to pass them in TO her.
Then he received a violent push
from behind. He plunged forward,
tripped with one foot on the sill of the
refrigerator doorway, and went in
headlong. sprawling on the tiled floor.
His clutching hand caught the fold of
woman's skirt. Then, though he re-
manned conscious, everything suddenly
turned black.
Bewildered as he was, several Sec
onds passed before he realized that the
massive door had been closed-that he
and the girl were prisoners.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1911-02-02

She laughed lightly. I'm sorry
no."
Il have only one" he said. I'm
going to strike it, so that We can get
our bearings"
He scratched the match on his sole.
The first precious moment of light he
permitted himself to look at her, fixing
her face in his mind as though he
were never to see it again. 1t re-
joiced him to find that in that instant
her eyes also turned to his.
The interchange of looks was hard
for him to break Only half the match
was gone before he turned from her,
but in that time he had asked and an
swered so many unspoken questions
questions which at the moment were
still little more than hopes and yearn-
ings. His heart was beating rapidly.
If she had doubted him, she did not
doubt him now. If she had not under
stood his feeling for her, she must I'M
derstand 1t now. And the look in her
own eyes-could he question that 1T
was more than friendly? But the ne
cessity of making the most of the light
forced him to forget for the moment
the tender presence of the girl who
filled his heart. He therefore employed
himself with a quick study of their sur
roundings.
The chamber was about ten feet
square, and lined smoothly with white
thing 1t was designed to show the
lf.,sx gfY-t.a nj ,f hn N
ham refrigerator. Orme remembered
how Tom had explained it all to him
on previous visit to Chicago.
This was merely a storage chamber.
There was no connection with an ice
chamber, and there were none of the
hooks and shelves which would make
it complete for its purpose. The only
appliance was the thermometer, the
coils of which were fitted in flush with
the thing, near the door, and protected
by close metal grating. AS for the
door ITSELF its outline was fine seam.
There was handle.
AS the match burned close to his
fingers, Orme pulled out his watch. 1t
was twenty-nine minutes past five.
Darkness again.
Orme CROPPED his way to the door and
| tugged at the handle. The door would
not open; built with alright nicely,
it did not bulge in the least.
This was what Orme had expected.
He knew that Alcatrante would have
shot the bolt He knew, too, that AL
! catrante wO-ild be waiting in the cor
ridor, to assure himself that the last
clerk left the Office without freeing the
prisoner-that all the lights were out
and the Office locked for the night.
Then he would depart, exulting that
the papers could not be delivered; and
in the morning Orme would be re-
| leased.
But had Alcatrante realized that the
chamber was alright? Surely he had
not known that the girl was already
there. The air that might barely suf-
flee to keep one alive until relief came
would not suffice for two.
There was not the least opening to
admit of ventilation Even the places
where, in a practical refrigerator, con-
nection would be made with the ice
chamber, were blocked up; for that
matter, they were on that side of the
chamber which was built close into the
corner of the Office.
Orme drove his heel against the
wall. The tiles did not break. Then
he stepped back toward the middle of
the chamber.
Where are you, Girl?" he asked.
Here" she answered, very near
him.

trante would cling 10 MIN ike an
Old Man of the Sea, awaiting the OPP
portunity to get the better of him.
Every vile would be Employed; but
publicity was no part of the game
Orme began really to believe that.
To shake off Alcatrante, perhaps
there was no better way than to lure
him to some deserted place and over
power him. But would not Alcatrante
be likely to have anticipated such
move? And would he not resort to
desperate measures of his own before
Orme could put his own plans into
practise? Bixby might help.
Orme walked over to the inquiry
window. Il want to see Mr.. Bixby,"
he said, offering his card.
The Young woman behind the win
dow took the card, but at the same
time she said: MIR. Bixby left few
minutes ago. He won't be back to-
day. Shall keep the card for him."
1T doesn't matter, thank you" he
said, turning away. Luck was against
him. Besides Bixby no one in the Of
flee knew him.
Alcatrante smiled genially. Since
Mr. Bixby is absent" he remarked,
shall we leave the verification of the
notes until tomorrow"
What are you talking about?" ex-
claimed Orme.
why" Alcatrante's face was the
picture of astonishment-"the Walling-
ham company notes, of course. The
notes you wish to sell me-" His voice
was raised so that the girl behind the
window could not help hearing.
Rot" said Orme.
WHAT" A note of indignation crept
into Alcatrantes voice. Are you
evading? Perhaps you thought l would
not insist on the verification." An
other clerk, a man, had joined the girl
behind the window Alcatrante sud
denly addressed him. This Mr.. Orme
told me that he needed to raise money
and would transfer to me cheap some
notes signed by your company. met
him at the hotel He said that, If ]
would come here with him, he would
show the notes and have them veri-
fed. | don't understand"
The clerk left the window, and,
opening a door, came into the recep-
ton room. What are the notes you
have?" he asked.
Il have none," replied Orme, in dis
gust. Il have never pretended to have
any. This man is crazy, l think" He
pointed to Alcatrante. HE has fol-
lowed me here unlimited for reasons of
his own. | asked for Mr.. Bixby, whom
| know | would have asked for Mr..
Wallingham, my personal friend, but
that had already learned of his being
at Arradale."
There's funny business here some
where" exclaimed Alcatrante, with
great earnestness. do you mean to
say that you did not introduce your
self to me in the lobby of the Framing
ton and ask me to buy the notes."
Orme did not answer.
With a conservative eye the clerk
looked at the two. He was not one to
involve himself in a dubious affair.
II can't settle this matter for you,
gentlemen" he said.
With slight bow, Orme went into
| the hall 1t dawned upon him why AL
catrante had invented so remarkable
story. Without question, the min
lister had feared that Orme would en-
list aid in the Office, or that at least he
would manage to deposit the coveted
papers in safety while he found other
means to get rid of his shadow. Hence
the sudden effort to discredit Orme.
