Upstairs, Helen, in slumber, was
half-awakened by q whistle signal.
Storm was bringing . freight train

flyer. The rumble Of passing trains
rarely disturbed her. This night q
much lighter but IN unusual sound
woke her completely. She sat up q
moment. listening. It seemed close
someone was In the house. Turning
on a light and dressing hastily, Helen
opened the hall door Of her room.
She had been careful not to make
the slightest noise In her movements.
Unfortunately the light behind her sill
houetted her figure on the floor at the
foot OF the broad flight OF stairs
Spike, keen-eyed. in the library, saw
it. He touched Hyde. "Douse it,"
he muttered. Hoyde extinguished the
light. The two paused, listened, walked
into the hall and paused again. Then
they started noiselessly up the stairs.
Guarded as they had been, Helen
felt their presence. With f~ast-beating
heart she ran to her window. Out in
the night she could see the light of
a torch. 1t was Storms light, car
ried as he worked around his en-
CINE. Catching up a small serving
bell she ran out on her balcony and
tying the bell to the telephone wire
that connected with the main line
wires. she started the jingling mes
senger of for help.
The engineman, busy with his work,
presently heard the slight jingle, but
only to wonder for a moment what
it could be. The two criminals had
entered Helen's room. The instant
she stepped in from the balcony they
caught and overpowered her-stifed
her screams. and in spite OF her con-
tinuing struggles. rudely gagged her.
Tho bell again attracted Storms at
t%ention, and he was puzzled to deter
mine what 1t might mean. Looking
towards Helen's home he saw a bright
light in one of the upper windows.
Then, Of . sudden, he saw more-sil-

and a man were struggling. He

Hard words passed and more threats
were uttered; the meeting broke up in

Seagrue and Capelle retired to an
adjoining room. Helen passed before
them down the hall. Capelle glanced
at her and looked toward Seagrue. His
