come back-with the things we both
want. Pardon me-" He sat down on
the edge of the bed and removed his
shoes. She watched him as If fasci-
mated while he opened the bosom Of
his soft shirt and stuffed the wet shoes
inside.
Then he said: "You are not dressed
for flight. May I suggest that while /

and coat? You cannot go fan in that
dressing gown. 1t would be in shreds
before you had gone a hundred feet

"You must not fail, Theodore

Silently he drew a chair to the door,
mounted it and, drawing himself up by
his hands, poked his head through the
open transom. An instant later he was
on the floor again. She heard him in
sorting a key in the lock- Almost be-
fore she could realize that it had &C
tually happened, the door opened slow
~, cautiously, and his thin wiry figure
slid through what seemed to her no
more than a crack. AS softly the door
was closed.
For long time she stood, dazed and
unbelieving, In the center Of the room,
staring at the door. She held her
breath, listening for the shout that
was so sure to come-and the shot
perhapsl A prayer formed OnSher lips
and went vOicelessIy up to God.
Suddenly she reused herself from
the stupefaction that held her. With
feverlsh haste she Rnatched up gar.
ments from the chair on which she had
carefully placed them in anticipation
Of the emergency that now presented
itself. A blouse (which she neglected
to button), short skirt Of some dark
material, jacket, and a pair Of stout
walking shoes (Which she failed to
lace), completed the swift transforms
ton. As she glided to the window, she
jammed the pins into a small black
hat Of felt. Then she peered over the
ledge.
She started back, sitting a cry witt
her hand. A mans head had almost
come ia contact with her own as shC
leaned out. A mans hand reached
over and grasped the inner ledge Of
the easement. and then a mans face
was dimly revealed to her startled
gaze.
