Smith.
"Yus." agreed the Worm gloomily
I'm on. Quarter share, as usual?"
Eel Smith nodded. and rose. The
two ruffians lounged away over the
grass. Lois had not stirred. Through
the bushes she had seen the two evil
faces and heard the greater part of
what had passed. In this remote part
of the park. safe-as they thought
from the least danger of being over
heard, the two men had not attempted
to keep their voices down At nrsl
Lois had been too startled to make her
presence known. Then fear kept her
silent. 1t was not till they had left
the seat a hundred yards behind them
that she realized the full import of
what she had heard. Roseleigh was to
be burgled that night. She alone, be-
side the conspirators themselves, knew
of the intent Sam, the butler, was ig-
norant. The owner was ignorant. 1t
would be as simple as Eel" Smith had
declared anless-she gave the alarm.
The thought of the police first came
to her mind. 1t would mean a hunt
for the Worm and his accomplish. 1t
would mean her Identifying them, her
appearance at the police station. in the
poS-her giving evidence against them.
Not only did she fear. but she hated
the task
ihere was one alternative. She could
go TO Roseleigh, warn the master of
the house. and, having put him on his
guard, leave him to deal with the ar
fair as he chose.
For half an hour at least she waited
too scared to leave the sheIterinp
screen of bushes. The sun was sinking
when at length she crept out and
started to walk to the gate by the Star
and Garter.
1t was long trudse and LOSS
knowledge of the Underground was
scanty. Much time was lost in goin :
back to Earl's Court and more yet
when in the dusk she set out from
Futney Station to find Rosleigh
Every one seemed to know the house
every one directed her differently.
1t was close on eight when. weary and
cispirited. she found the place at last
She had no difficulty in recognizing
Sam-the "boozer," as the ruffian in
the park had called him-when the
butler opened the door.
Is-your master in?" she asked
Sam shook his head. No, miss: but
he'll be here in fifteen minutes at the
most. He's going out to-night-ap-
pointment at nine-thirty"
Lois realized why Sam had decided
on ten for his meeting with Eel"
smith. For a moment she thought of
warning the man. Then she realized
that he would probably disbeifeve her,
and that the story she had to tell
would hardly rebound to his credit

not hear his mumbled explanation Of

she had started up from her chair
listening intently as the newcomer
hrst spoke. A rush of blood dyed her
cheeks, then receded, leaving her even
paler than she had been. With a
swift nervous movement she hicked
out the electric light, leaving only a
small reading lamp alight and waited,
trembling, in the gloom
The door opened. A young man
came in, a frown Of surprise on his
brow.

her a legacy. Il won't detain Won
