The pair climbed up the stairs
to the third floor. She waited
anxiously, but did not hear them
return. The shadows heightened,
a GOODNESS filled the air. MILL
cent felt cramped and weary.
Had the two men remained in
the apartment on the third floor
or had they returned by way of
the elevator? She had no means
of knowing, and realized that she
never could know without expos
ing herself to danger.
She picked up the suitcase,
pushed it through the window to
the corridor, stood listening for a
moment but heard nothing except
the distant rumble of traffic and
the pounding of her own pulse IN
her ears.
Carrying the suitcase, she de-
scended the stairs. The lobby was
deserted. She crossed to the door,

I gave a wild leap as a cruising
, cab driver, seeing her struggling
with the door and the heavy suit
case. slid his car to the curb and
flashed her an inQuiring glance.
At her nod he slammed on his
brakes, Jumped across the inter-
Ivening stretch of sidewalk, picked
up the suitcase, and said, "Where
| to, Miss"
She had no particular destina-
Ition. She dared not 20 back to
Jarvis Happ's house. She remem-
bered the name of the cheap no.
tel where she had spent the night
which followed Drimgold's muir
der. She gave the cabby the name
of the hotel and added, w'm in a
hurry. Please make it as fast as
you can"
The cab lurched into motion
and Milliccnt, flashing glance
back at the apartment house, saw
cabriolet swing around the COR
ner and glide to a stop at the
curb.
She saw Bob Caise lump from
the car almost before it had come
to a stop.
Millicent settled back in the
cushions, too frightened to look
back again, fearful that Bob
Caise would see her and start in
pursuit.
The cab swung into a main
artery of traffic and Millicent,
suddenly realizing that she was
a fugitive from Justice, leaned
back in the corner of the cab so
that her face would be invisible
! to traffic officers OF curious pc
+ destrians.
/ The cab rounded corner to
the left, pulled in close to the
curb. The driver ierked the door
open, helped Millicent to the
sidewalk, carried her suitcase in
to the hotel. She rewarded him
with a generous tip and met the
cynical appraisal of the clerk
who stared at her from behind
the desk with worldweary eyes.
Millicent knew the mans type
She stared at him haughtily and
said. Let me see your register
please"
! He handed her the book and
she looked back through the
pages until she found the name
under which she had registered
and the room number that had
been assigned to her. Then she
closed the register and said,
"What rooms have you vacant,
please"

to descend, he would dash down
the corridor toward the stairs.
N,Ilicent snatched up the suit
case and such was her excite
ment that she was entirely UNI
conscious of its weight as she
sped down the stairs. She had
started down the last flight lead
ING to the lower floor when she
suddenly realized that she would
be trapped between the lobby OF
the apartment house and the side
walk, held back by the weight OF
, the suitcase.
1t would be impossible for her
, to walk as much as o block With
that heavy weight. There was, of
course, a chance that some cruis-
ing cab would stop by and pick
! her up as soon as she gained the
sidewalk, bat there was a far
greater chance that Richard Gen
try would overtake her at the
curb if he didn't catch her in the
/ lobby.
There was no time to balance
, the probabilities. She had to think
and act fast. A window opened
onto the fire escape and she
flung the suitcase over the sill
down to the steel-barred platform
and followed it, almost before
the suitcase had thuddcd to the
! steel grating.
She had barely gained the plat
form and adjusted her skirts
about her ankles when she heard
the sound of feet thudding down
the staircase. She turned toward
the corridor and saw Richard
Gentry dashing past, running
rapidly.
He shot past the window and
she heard the bang of his feet on
the lower stairway as he ran
down toward the lobby.
! Millicent looked below her and
saw an alleyway, shaded and
gloomy, piled with garbage cans,
boxes, barrels, broken packing
cases, and other bits of rubbish
She felt certain that, while per
haps an occasional truck might
rumble through the alley-way
there would be but little traffic
THROUGH it and few pedestrians:
With any sort of reasonable
luck. she seemed safe enough fol-
the moment. It was getting out
of the building which presented
the real difficulty. She dared not
return to the third floor. non. die
she dare to descend to the lobby
She was trapped between the
floors and would have to wait
there until some opportunity tol

She turned the suitcase ovel
on its side, used it as seat

skirt about them, placed her cl,
Rows on her knees, and waited.
After some minutes she heard
the thud of feet as two men la
boriously climbed the stairs. Ono
of them was talking and, while
she could not catch what wa
said, she recognized Dick Gen
try's voice, and could tell that ne

"By the day, week, Or month";"
"That will depend"
He handed her a chart. Mill
cent saw that the room she want
ed was vacant, but she pointed to
another room and said, what
the price on this by the night?"
"a dollar seventy-five."
She frowned, slid her finger
down until it rested on the room

Merger Is Planned
Two More Boards Expect.
ed To Be Merged

PHILADELPHIA, April "a

organization, is a possibility at
the church's annual general as
sembly, opening at Cincinnati
May %, when the delegates will
vote ma proposal to merge two
boards which carry on all of the

evangelistic activities.
The two bodies to be merged
are the board of Christian educa-
ton, which has headquarters in
Philadelphia, and the board of
national missions. with New York
headquarters. The church's for
eign organization is not affected.
The education board controls
S4.000,O00 in buildings, securities
and other assets and spends about
$2,500,000 annually on publica-
tons. 1t has a cooperative re-
lationship with so Presbyterian
colleges. The national mission
boards assets are about S43.OOO,-
900 and its annual expenditure
approximately S3,200,000.
The merger has been consider
ed for several years. If voted,
it would become effective in
June. 1886. 1t is regarded as
elimination of a consolidation
movement which has reduced the
church's boards and agencies from
II to Ia in the last 20 years.
The Cincinnati assembly will
consider every phase of church
life and its decisions are binding
on its synods. it's Presbyteries
which elect the assembly's 1000
members. and all on members
and ministers. Alaskans. Indians,
negroes and representatives from
China, Japan, Persia, Mesopo-
tamia and other foreign countries
will be present.

Millicent took the notebook
dropped it into the suitcase and
faced herself in the mirror. She
now had every bit of valuable
evidence in the case in her pos,
session. She had the shorthanc
notebook which had caused Bob
Caise so much concern, the books
of account which had been stolen
the note in Bob Caise's hand
writing which definitely linked
him with the woman in the black
ermine coat. 49,,
"What a prize l would be-" she
muttercd. "Anyone who captured
me now would have every shred
of evidence in the case"
Her meditations were inter
rupted by the ringing of the telc-
phone.
Miliccnt stared at it with a
feeling of panic. The steady, in
sistent ringing Of that telephone
hell seemed to indicate that she
had been discovered.
Slowly she crossed to it and
took the receiver from the hook.
The voice which came over the
wire was that Of the clerk at the
desk. "Mj:s Jones'" he said,
"therc'3 4 gentleman here to sec
you"
II don't want to sec him. I
know no one in the city. There's
some mistake"
"The gentleman" the clerk
said, gave the hellbov a tip and
is on his wav up. I'm Just let
ting you know
Milliccnt rrippcd the telephone
receiver, wondering what 20 do.
