felled my husband. 1t seemed the
revelry had ceased now They were
discussing something more Important

voice I recognized again;

cleaning of the whole place; we
can get in while they're at the show,

Another voice had broken in
"A fine set Of dubs we'd be, O.

Il started ! pressed closer against
the window. The men. who evidently
had been sitting at a table, were
moving around. | sprang to my feet
and hurried up the fire escape. The
address had come!
There was maze Of few mo-
ments in which ! neither knew nor UNI
derstood what | did, nor why. When
| came to myself, was turning the
corner of Chicago avenue and State
streets on half run for street car,
with my baby in my arms. What |
was going to do, | did not know. The
thought of the police had not touched
my mind; all | knew was that | must
get to the house they planned to rob
before they got there, that | must
find some way to circumvent them.

one could warn? The realization
flashed upon me that there would be
no one, for knew that in the plans |
had heard the robbers felt sure they
would be safe in their work, for a
while at least. l hurried to the fiat.
l rang the bells, one after the other.
Not tube answered. l circled to the
back. l pushed the buttons for the
servants. There came no reply.
started to hurry across the little yard
to where the rear Of another fat
showed. l stepped off the porch,
made my way to the side of the house,
then, with a gasp. rushed back.

of them-three. The thieves had ar
rived. Like the little fool that | had
been, had allowed myself to be
caught. had spoiled everything.
