"She knows nothing of the sort

know I'm glad to have you make
me a visit, Cherry, but Bob is right.
You have no right to endanger a
really happy marriage by behaving
like spoiled child"
Cherry's topaz eyes famed with
sudden anger. so You both want
to know when I'm going home, do
you? Well, I'll tell you I'm going
home when Nils Jonson comes for
me, and not one minute before. I'm
not going to be any mans doormat,
and that's-final!"
Bob's face flushed darkly with
anger. And Nils Jonson isn't going
to make himself a doormat for any
woman, Cherry. You've got sense
enough to know that, even if you
do act like q fool?
MY advice to you is to go home
today, while the going's good. Other
wise you may not find any Wei

I'm scared, but I've still got some

in storm of tears, Crystal sat very
still, slowly connecting a scheme
which would break the deadlock.

Cherry's prophecy came true. She
did cast a pebble into the beautiful
tranquility of the Hathaway break

of his home threatened by the
presence-possibly for long time
of this most disturbing element,
Scowled at his sister-in-law IN en-

mock sympathy, as she bent over
her sisters husband and rumpled
his chestnut hair. How he does

she's so crazy about him, too! Will

asked, in spite of Faiths pleading
eyes: When are you going home,

TwENTY-EIGHTH INsTALLMENT.

Wv WIEN Golly Oaks had left the
a apartment, Anna stood at
NV the door, listening. for
several minutes, before she
returned to Lila. The girl
was alarmed when she saw the strained,
frightened look on her old nurses face.
mo, no-its nothing, my dear" said
Anna, as Lila tried to draw from her
the reason for her terror.
She opened drawer in the table,
took out a knife, and without a word,
thrust it into the ceiling at the spot
where the faint outlines of the trap
door could now be seen. The plaster
sllowered down upon her head, but she
worked away until the laths were ex-
posed.
Then she picked up the lamp and
thrust it toward the ceiling.
"See!" she cried. There's the trap
door,"
More plaster and laths had to be torn
away. before she could attempt to open
the door. and she toiled on. It was a
hard, slow task for she had only the
knife with which to work.
At last she made an opening large
enough to admit her head and
shoulders. She raised her arms and
pushed against the door with all her
strength, but it did not bulge. Lila
found broom in the pantry, and to-
gether they thrust it against the door.
Their combined efforts opened it. the
mereSt crack. But that was begin
ming, at least
Lila rushed about the apartment.
snatching up whatever she could find
that could be forced into the opening,
to widen it. Anna wedged these in, as
fast as she could.
Wider and wider grew the square Of
sky visible through the opening, till, at
o'clock in the morning, almost eX-
hausted by her efforts, Anna dragged
herself through the space and onto the
roof above. When she recovered her
breath, she summoned all her strength
and, pulling the creaking trap-door wide
open, extended her hand to the girl be-
low and drew her up to the roof.
Immediately they began their search
for the rope ladders and the lockers
but, If there ever were such ap-
planes. they had been removed. The
two women were in despair. In less
than an hour the first streaks of dawn
would be visible in the sky. To re-
turn to the apartment was to risk
having their attempt to escape found
out in the morning, but it was not
safe to remain on the roof.
AT last Anna lowered herself into
the room below and helped Lila to
descend. To close the trap-door was
an impossibility. They must take the
risk of somebody's going on the roof
during the day and finding it open.
Though she was weary beyond be-
lief. Lila slept restlessly. and she
was awake and dressed before break
fast was brought in.

In spite Of her anxiety, Lila smiled.
