They left the house together, and l
watched them ride past the window,
followed by dozen soldiers. As they
disappeared Seldom turned his eyes
to my face. He was rather a pleasant
looking young man, but possessed an
aggressive chin.

She stole swift glance at me-
shaking her head.
"That would be too strong an I'M

''Very well, SIR" more stifly, his
geniality vanishing with my rather
curt refusal. Then l shall take all
necessary precautions to prevent es-
cape" He stepped aside to the hall
door. You may send two men in
here, Ferguson
They entered quietly. glancing about
with some curiosity, but taking posi-
ton on either side of me at Sedons
command. Claire stood beside the
table in silence, her glance out the
window. Only as we wheeled about to
leave the room did her eyes meet
mine. That swift glimpse beneath the
dark lashes caused me to leave the
room with swiftly beating heart. At
the door l stole another glance back

her face concealed in her hands. With
Seldom ahead, and the two guards be-
hind, l tramped down the stairs into
the basement, and was again locked
within the walls of the strong room.
AS the lock clicked I sat down upon
the bunk far from being disheartened.
Fate had been playing strange pranks,
but l was not left without hope, for

swift message of those uplifted blue
eyes. She had not wished me to ac-
eept parole; then there must be some
plan OF escape already formulated in
her mind. l could only wait quietly,
striving to solve the meaning Of those
suddenly uplifted blue eyes, and the
promise they contained.
