as soundly, as the servant had de-

another fight, to her own room, where
she turned on the electric bulb in
panic haste. For 1t had just occurred
to her that the telephone bell might
ring before she could change her cloth
ing and get downstairs and shut her
self into the library, whose closed door
would prevent the bell from being
audible through the house.
In less than ten minutes she was
stealing silently down to the drawing
room floor again, quiet as spirit of
the night. The library door shut with
out sound; for the first time she
breathed freely. Then, pressing the
button on the wall, she switched on
the light in the drop-lamp on the CEN
ter table. The telephone stood be-
side it.
She drew up a chair and sat down
near the instrument, ready to lift the
receiver OF its hook the instant the
bell began to sound; and waited, the
soft light burning in the loosened
tresses of her hair, enhancing the soft
color that pulsed in her cheeks, fading
before the Joy that lived in her eyes
when she hoped.

at times could not but fear. So greatly
