and become better acquainted with

recalled the errand that had led me to
open the wall safe. / had iMore than
two hundred dollars in my trousers

where 1t would be safe. With the
feeling that IL the jewels had disap-
peared, so might my money, / pressed
the light button In the sitting room
and looked about for hiding place.
Recalling custom Of my mothers, I
stepped over to the bookcase and talk

Three, from the shelf, placed between
the leaves all OF my money except
fifteen dollars. No burglar was likely
to find 1t there.

darkness stepped back into my bed

My first impression was that there

the burglar. / hesitated about turn

1t would give him all the advantage.
Breathlessly listened. Once more
there came three distinct raps, this
time apparently from somewhere out
side the room. wondered If 1t had
been sounds like these that had so ter
rified the old couple.
Perhaps 1t was the echo Of someone
pounding In another apartment, the
noise being carried along by water
pipe. The thought that 1t might be
the cracking of some hidden steam or
refrigeratlng pipe suggested itself.
Both these theories / rejected. The
sound, whatever 1t was, had originated
close at hand.

able, too, to locate more closely the
direction from which 1t came. The
window at the foot of the bed stood
open, and the sound seemed to float
in from somewhere outside. l hurried

trust In me and had sought my aid.

eyes In the darkness / seemed to feel
the presence of someone in the room.

hastily lighting up all the rooms. ex-
plored them thoroughly. There was
no evidence anywhere of anyone's

about It, decided that my Illusion

thought of spirit rappings when first

rience when / awoke early the next
morning. Springing lightly out of
bed, stopped in utter bewilderment.
There, In the center of the room on
the floor lay small white folded slip
of paper. 1t could not have been a

room while slept. There was the
proof, the note they had dropped.
Wondering IL Miss Bradford had
found still another unusual way of
communicating with me FASTENED to
pick up the folded paper that lay on
the floor. On the outside 1t bore my
name, in typewriting, MIR. spalding

With eager fingers unfolded the
paper, wondering what message 1t con-
tanned. As / read 1t, I stood there,
aghast. 1t ran:

sill of my window.
1t dawned ON me at once that the
window next must belong to the Brad

Bradford trying to signal to me.

lieyed voice whispered II thought

almost despaired Of Miss Bradford's
coming when / spied her cantering
slowly along the lane, followed at
decorous distance by groom. She
was looking right and left and when
she saw me her face frightened but
she rode few steps past me with no

what to make of this new slight when
she suddenly refined in and allowed
the groom to come up with her.

She waited until he had vanished
