CHAPTER xvii. 4 Girl With Ono Idea.

TT was the following day that, lean
 ing against the window grating of
 iron. she was astonished to find ~ it bending before her She looked more closely and was astonished to flnd that one bar had been cut cleanly through She examined the remainder of the bars They appeared absolutely untouched. but when she pulled harsh y at them every one gave way. Ready made was her means of escape.
 That night, fully dressed. she stood beside the window looking out over the moon splashed patio. A furtive figure detached itself from the shadows and crept toward her. Strangely enough 1t did not frighten her to recognize the butler.
 She crouched In the opposite side of the room listening to the faint tinkle of snapping iron bars as the man de tached the ends from their sockets His head and shoulders appeared in the opening.
 Breathlessly she watched his ap- proach. There was nothing undecided about his movements. He was swift: he was certain; he was sure. Not a motion. not a step was wasted. He was almost over the bed when Lucille sprang from her hiding place behind the door.
 Instantly he turned, his head darting from side to side like that of giant reptile. He did not speak. Slowly his hands opened and closed. while a grin crossed his face. widened his mouth a hideously jnhuman grin. She tried to cry out. but her lips were frozen shut
 He had almost reached her side. With gasp Lucille grasped a native vase that stood near and brought 1t down on his head with crushing force. As he sank to the floor with a moan there was a sound outside, and her mysterious friend, the lover who had promised his assistance. leaped lightly into the room. Reading his thoughts. yet hearing nothing, she moved toward the window and lifted her tiny foot as though to mount horse His hands cupped about it. She vaulted to the easement and in second had scram. bled through.
 By her side stood the man For a moment he waited. then urged her for. ward. She was free. free free. Of course there were pickets to be passed. but she had made one proyidential es. cape tonight, why not another?
 Out of sight of the building she paused and looked about her. How calm and peaceful and friendly ap, peared the night. The moon was full the stars winked merrily at her. urg

 He took the necklace. turning it idly about in his hands. then hungrily lifted his eyes to her face. as though inani, mate beauty was thing of no account in comparison. He took her arm again and thoughtfully led her around de vious paths to a deep, sunken well. be- fore which he paused. curious smile upon his lips.

 She knelt beside the well, almost fearful of the magic powers he ascrib ed to 1t
 "Oh, wishing well. let me but hold in my hands the honor of my sweet heart that I may give 1t back to him Let me but serve his happiness and shall ask for nothing more. Do with me as you desire, but grant my oni. wish"
 He touched her lightly upon the arru and she rose obediently. her eyes glow ing like jewels. Lightly he placed the ruby necklace about her neck.
 "One look in your eyes" he said softly. his mellow voice breaking un. der the torment of what he knew to be hopeless love. Ifs more beautiful more rare. more precious to me thar any jewel. Come!'
 Slowly. silently, yet in perfect under standing. they moved back to the house.

 Lucille drew away from him at men ton of his master, but something iD the meaning eyes behind the mask re- assured her and she moved out into the patio. Here they passed Thomp son. whose eyes darted a message of suspicion at them.
 He thinks all is not right" said the man quietly when they were out of sight. Well" he added, with a low sigh, ''he is right in his suspicion. | could not hope to fool that man. Only little less wise Is he than Hugo himself"

 She touched his arm lightly with her fingers in mute appeal. Her woman's 8 instinct told her that such love as this might be turned to account.
 Slowly they wandered through the beautiful gardens. speaking of what they saw. yet never touching upon the

subject nearest both their hearts. Sud denly the man seemed unable to stand the strain longer. and she touched his arm sympathetically, but he drew away with little cry of near pain.
 Come with me to the crystal ball" he cried, and see the vision that has haunted my eyes so long a time. Come that has made me forget my vows; forget the one l love and fear; forget everything save the desire for life that l may lay down to bring smile to it. Come with me, lady of my heart"
 Before tine tempestuousness of his voice Lucille followed his lead Gone from her was every thought of imme- diate escape. She saw that the man could not be handled easily: that she could not escape from him any more than she could from the other minions of the spy without the use of craft, and yet she felt curious sympathy for him. pain that she must harm him.
 Before the great crystal ball that was set upon the tagging beside the patio fountain. beside which stood the monstrous. hoary, gray palm tree, he halted, staring through the slits of his mask into it's clear depths She trem- bled as she looked upon the flaming eyes so close to the reflection of her own face. Suddenly he tore the mask from him and tossed it to one side. closing his arm fiercely about her waist and dra wing her soft cheek against his swarthy one. Together they stared into the ball. his eyes luminous with a wild love, hers moist with mingled sympathy and fear. Gently she disen- tangled his fingers. surprised at the numbness of them, the ease with which they responded to her will.
 "You must go back" he murmured hoarsely. I was mad to think of such a plan"

The need for great care in wrapping
parcels is urged, because OF the manner
In which the large amount of Christmas
mail will have to be handled. People who
ucSlIC u man pdGhdBeb as IneN are wrap
ped in the store should tell the salesman
the package is for the mail. and request
him to wrap 1t securely. The name and
address of the sender should be placed
in the upper left-hand corner OF all

Office will not overflow with unclaimed
mail.

pie are urged to get a supply of parcel
