With all her might she resisted
this sensation and the fear that it
suggested. But as the night passed
to midnight and beyond a strange
feeling of being one watcher in a
slumbering household detached itself
from the general confusion, and she
began to long with great intensity
for something-anythi happen.
Once something moved in the foot
wide strip OF shadow against the
house. Jane caught her breath and
then saw that 1t was only a cat, a
half-grown kitten rather, beloved of
the cook. 1t came out into the moon
light and walked solemnly the entire
length of the terrace with delicatelv
taken steps and a high waving tail.
1t was as soundless and black as the
shadow out of which IL had come,
and presently IT was gone again, and
second by second. minute by minute,
away. In the hall a clock struck the
quarters. The silence. shattered for
moment, closed again.
When the rapping came It brought
the oldest sense of interruption. Jane
sprang to her feet, stood for a mo-
ment catching at her self-control,
and then went noiselessly to the door.
She listened before opening 1t, and
could hear nothing; and, as she
listened. the knocking came again,
but from behind her.
Bewildered, she edged the door open
and looked out. A shaded light burn
ed far away to the left. The long.
dim corridor was empty. She shut
the door.
Some one was knocking@some :
where-but where?
She turned and stood facing the
windows. Up in the far corner a
large cupboard filled the angle and
blunted II. Jane had hung her serge
dress there hours and hours ago The
knocking seemed to come from the
cupboard. just where the room was
at its darkest because next the light

Jane crossed the floor very slow
ly, put both hands on the cupboard

moment everything was quite black,
then, with a most unpleasant sud-
denness, a narrow white ray cut the
dark, and Henry's voice said, It's
only me-"
James hand went to her lips, press
ing them firmly. She would have ad-
mitted that this action alone saved
her from screaming. After a moment

DISABLED SOLDIERS WIN
IN PLEA TO QUASH SUIT
League and Other Defendants Ask
ed Dismissal of Action for Ac-
counting in Campaign.

Justice Siddons has signed an order
sustaining the motion to dismiss a suit
filed by the Pencil Supply Co., Inc,
against the National Disabled Soldiers
League and others. The North Cap
itol Savings Bank, Theodore Michael
and George w. Scott, a former en-
ploye of the league, through Attorney
Henry l.. Quinn, filed a motion to dis
miss the bill of complaint.
The court held that Theodore
Michael cannot be held individually
liable for any breach Of the trust rela-
ton which might have existed between
the North Capitol Savings Bank, Of
which he was president, and the plain
tiff corporation. The court further
held that the assignment from the
p. c. Smith Co. and the Pencil Print
ing Corporation to the plaintiff did
not give the plaintiff right to enforce
the trust agreement between the
league and the bank and plaintiffs as
signors or to pursue or protect the
trust fund.
This case arose out of a Nation wide
campaign under the auspices of the
National Disa bled Soldiers League, in
which it was contended that more
than 100000 was collected for the
benefit of disabled soldiers and sailors.
The purpose of the suit was to enjoin
various local banks from paying out
funds supposed to be deposited to the
credit of the league or the individual
officers and for a discovery and ac-
counting as to the funds realized by
the campaign.

mony Of c. z. Stephens, one of the
three men on trial here, declared late
yesterday.

with them while detectives listened in
an adjoining room.
Further. Stephens said when he
was arrested near Mary Pickford's

he did not go there with any intent
to kidnap the actress. but to drive
Geek there to see a friend. s
Stephens denial of the alleged con-
fessions he. made to the police brought
the prosecution and defense to bitter
Tits when Stephens declared that he
made the statements "in fear of vio-
lence and threats" at the hands of
Harry Raymond, a private detective.
The defense reiterated their inten-
tfons of yesterday to prove that the
whole affair was an "entrapemnt'' of
the trio and a publicity plot by George
X. Home, former chief of detectives,
and Harry Raymond, while Mary
