The Time o. NIGHT.


Not ill-pleaeed to be left to his own
devices (whose proposed character
Digby would never have approved had
he so much as suspected them Alan
none the less deferred action until
after midnight
And espionage was all he feared,
save and except always. OF course, fail
ure to find his Rose.
1t was about one in the morning
when he arrived inconspicuously (but
not so mucn 50 as TO seem deserving
of police surveillapce) in the neigh
borhood Of the Riverside drive home Of
his mortal enemy, a grim white house
that lowered, stark and tall. upon a
corner.
His preliminary reconnaissance pro-
vided little more than comfortless ex-
erclse. Huge, still. its wall bathed in
the milk and ink Of moonlight and
shadow, all its windows dark but
one-and that one. in the topmost tier,
showed only feeble glimmer, so slight
that Alan almost cserlooked it.
But once discovered, it focused upon
itself his thoughts with a power little
less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that
Rose was a prisoner within those
walls; that Judith must have con-
yeyed her there with all speed.
And, This being the presumptiye care,
that small, high window Of the light
might wen BE hers.
Directly across the street from the
Urine residence, on the opposite cor
ner, a colossal apartment structure
stood half-fnished, homework to It's
second story. gaunt iron skeleton rear
ing above.
To his Infinite disgust, Alan found
the guardian very wide awake, very
much on the job: no chance here to
steal unseen into the building.
This in itself might have been
deemed a suspicious circumstance:
not for nothing does an honest night
Waterman so deny the laws of nature
and the tenets Of his craft. But Alan
merely praised the man while cursing
the very fact OF Ia existence; and. ac-
costing, oversame with bank-notes

reluctance. and got his way.
He could not know that another

with all his might-with such force
that it almost unseated him at the end
of the swing. But nothing less would
have served to bridge that yawning
chasm.
And the watch few straight and
true, squarely through the lighted win
dow and to the further wall.
At that very instant of his exultation
over an obstacle overcome, he heard a
sound behind him of heavy breathing.
The assassin had come that close
upon his prey when Alan turned and
discovered his peril
The same moonbeam witch had
aided Alan in the composition q nts
message struck across the others face
and showed It like a hideous Chinese
mask of deadly hatred, with its eve
balls glaring and its lips drawn back
from the naked blade gripped between
its teeth-a stiletto nothing short of a
foot in length.
With sharp, startled movement,
Alan swung himself bodily about, 80
that, seated again astride the girder,
he faced the assassin who sat up,
straddling the girder. his feet hooked
beneath it stiletto poised in his
right hand TO strike
But even now Alan was IN little or
no better case than before. IL he faced
the thug, he faced him with no arms
other than his bare hands He had not
even a pen-knife in his pockets.
With low cry of desperation Alan
snatched off his hat, soft and shape
less felt affair, and flung 1t squarely in
the fellows face.
Before he could recover-before,
that is. It dropped away and cleared
his vision. Alan had bent forward and
grasped the wrist Of the hand that
held the knife.
He snatched simultaneously at the
other hand, but it eluded him.
Alan had this advantage, as long as
the knife might not strike-that his
right arm was free. while the assassin
had only his left With this he stroye
psrsistently to reach his knife-hand
and possess himself of the weapon.
AS persistently Alan foiled his purpose
by dragging the knife-hand toward him
and swinging It far out to one eide. At
the same time he struck repeatedly

but this proved a very considerable
factor in the duel. In the end, they
served together with that steady, re-
sistless downward and outward drag
to break the grip Of the mans locked

face along the girder. kicking wildly,
grasping at tbs air. The Gtiletto fell
from an instinctlyely RELAXED grasp,
and disappeared. And before Alan
could release his hold, or ease the
strain upon the right arm Of the as
sRssin, this last had slipped bodily
from the girder and hung helpless in
space, dangling at the end of Aian's
arm-with no more than the grip Of
FIVE fingers between him and death.
The shock Of that unpresaged turn
brought Alan forward and fiat on his
stomach. And the strain on his left

arm was terrific. He doubted II he
could maintain IL for another minute.
Nor was there any reason why he
should retain it. The end he had de-
signed for his victim was merely his
just desert.
And yet Alan could not let him 90.
Thus the battle began anew-but
now it was a battle with a man half
crazed and struggling so madly that
he well-nigh frustrated the efforts OF
his rescue-.
In the upshot the assassin lay like a
limp rag across the girder. head and
arms dangling on one side, legs and
feet on the other. spent with his ter.
rife exertions and physically sick with
terror.
And in this state. Alan left him he
had done enough; let the man shift
for himself from this time on.

In another moment the replica Of
his daughter Judith was ushered into
his presence.
Upon this one he loosed the light
nings of his wrath without ruth.
Rose suffered him in silence. His
most calling recrilnination educed no
retort from this one.
In lull in Trine's TRADE, Judith
chose to iDter1ect: Don't be so hard

arm at her sister "Therel" she cried
to her father-"if you need to know
there stands the daughter who has
betrayed your faith-as l have not,

he inquired:

Conduct Miss Judith to him and
tell him hold him personally respon-

And for a long time thereafter the
father, alone with the daughter who
had been estranged from him since
birth by every instinct of her nature,
essayed in vain to break down her
mutinous silence
At last Urine summoned two of his
creatures and had her led weeping
from the rooms to be held prisoner In
her bedchamber on the topmost floor
of the house.
