CHAPTER XVI
The Fight in the Study.

Eaton dismissed the man who had
been waiting In his rooms for him; he
locked the door and carefully drew
down all the window shades. Then he
put his Overcoat, folded as he had
been carrying it under his arm, on
the writing table in the center of the
room, and from its folds and pockets
took "breast-drill" such as iron
workers use in drilling steel, an auto
matte pistol with three clips of car
tridges, an electric fashlight and a
little bottle of nitroglycerin. He
loaded the pistol and put it in his
pocket; then he carefully inspected
the other things.
He raised shade and window, and
sat In the dark. The night was
cloudy and very dark. He gaZed at
the south wing of the house; the win
dows of the first floor were closed and
the curtains drawn; but tonight there
was no light In the room. Then in the
dark he moved to the table where he
had left his overcoat, and distributed
In his pockets and within his clothing
the articles he had brought; and now
he felt again In the overcoat and
brought out short, strong bar of
steel curved and fiattened at one end
a Jimmy" for forcing the windows.
Eaton slipped off his shoes and went
to his room door; he opened the door
and found the hall dark and quiet.
He stepped out, closing his door care
fully behind him, and with great eau
tion he descended the stairs. He went
to window In the drawing room
which was set in recess and so
placed that 1t was not visible from
other windows In the house. He
opened this window and let himself
down upon the lawn. He gained the
south corner Of the wing. unobserved
or at least without sign that he had
been seen, and went on around 1t.
He stopped at the first high French
window on the south. As he tried to
slip his Jimmy under the bottom of
the sash, the window, to his amaze
ment, opened silently upon its hinges ::
1t had not been locked. The heavy
curtains within hung Just in front Of
him; he put out his hand and parted
them. Then he started back in aston
ishment and crouched close to the
ground; inside the room was a man
moving about, flashing an electric
torch before him and then exploring
an instant in darkness and flashing
his torch again.
Eaton had not been at all prepared
for this; now he knew suddenly that
he ought to have been prepared for It.

But are they all you have to fear,

He moved away from her, then
came back; the Importance to him of
what he was asking was very plain to
her-he was shaking nervously with

wish to see or why, except that the
man comes to do me service and to
endanger no one-except those trying
to injure me-"
She herself was trembling with her
desire to help him, but recollection of
her father held her back; then swiftly
there came to her the thought Of Ga
briel Warden; because Warden had

for some reason which she did not
know-Warden had been killed. And
feeling that In helping him there might
be danger to herself, she suddenly and
eagerly welcomed that danger, and
made her decision.
you'll promise, Mr.. Eaton, not to
try to-leave?"
YES"
Let us go out" she said.
She led the way downstairs and, in
the hall, picked up a cape; he threw
it over her shoulders and brought his
overcoat and cap. But in his absorp-
ton he forgot to put them on until,
as they went out into the garden to-
gether, she reminded him; then he put
on the cap. The night was clear and
cool. and no one but themselves
seemed to be about the house.
(which way do you want to goY'
she asked.
He turned toward the forested
acres Of the grounds which ran down
to ravine at the bottom of which
little stream trickled toward the
lake. AS they approached the side
Of this ravine, man appeared and

girls figure and halted.

Both had spoken 20 that the man
above could not have heard; and Har-
riet now noticed that, as her compun-
ion hurried ahead. he went almost
noiselessly. She stood still. shivering
a little now In the cold; and she lis
tened, she no longer heard his foot

then just as she was telling herself
that 1t must be many moments before
she would know whether he was COM

at some little distance. he spoke her
name so as not to frighten her. She
knew at once 1t was he but a change
in the tone surprised her. She stepped
forward to meet him.
You found your friend?"
"Yes,"
"What did he tell you? l mean
what is wrong that you did not ex-
pect?"
Sne heard his breath come fast.
Nothing" he denied.
"No: you must tell mel Can't you

Trust you!" he cried. He turned
to her and seized her hands. "You

Yes; I've trusted you. Can't you

Believe in you, Miss Santoine."
He crushed her fingers in his grasp.
"Oh, my God. wish I could!"
You wish you could?' she echoed.
The tone of it struck her like blow,
and she tore her hands away. "What
do you mean by thatf"
He made no reply but stood staring
at her through the dark. 1--WE must
go back" he said queerly. you're
cold"
She did not answer but started back
up the path to the house. He seemed
to have caught himself together
against some impulse that stirred him
strongly. The man out there who
saw us? He will report to your IA

steadily.

Ing that her permission to exceed his
set limits bound her not to report to

assumption, though she would not re

knew he must now be asleep. But
she felt that Eaton was no longer
thinking Of this. AS they entered the
house and he helped her lay of her
cape, he suddenly faced her.

She started. gazing at him, what he
said had absolutely no meaning for
her. what is 1t that you know?' she
demanded.
He did not reply; his hand went out
to hers, seized It, crushed 1t, and he
started away. As he went I'D the
stairs-still, in his absorption, carrying
cap and overcoat-she stood staring
after him In perplexity.
