word of excuse and hurried from the
room, and Craig made no effort to stop
her

ten. Craig got up slowly and started
toward the door His mission was ac-
complished, evidently, so far as she was
concerned She had secured the papers
for which sne had endured so much, and
in the sudden rush Of joy he was tor-
gotten lie felt no bitterness at the
! thought; instead he pictured her as IN
dulging IN a good cry. He would 90

| would listen 10 him.

gone as he walked slowly through the
hail and opened the door. He felt de-
! pressed as though he had fingered too
long after the last curtain had been rung
| down The ardor Of the chase, which

! until Helderman had finally surrendered
| was over. II would seem petty of him
| to llnger here, as If in hope OF reward
! He would not demand the girls love from
| a sense of gratitude!
