"An right" I shook the bottle.

thick. 1 nodded it onto her face. 1t

odor that got up my nose and
made me SneeZe.
Return the tray to the salon."
she directed, blinking at me. She
was like a mummy, thousand
year-old mummy, with the mask
dried on her face in drab ridges.
l wiped my hands and got my
bottles together.
Good night" 1 said, but she did
not hear. Her head had fallen for
ward upon her breast-she was
sleeping. tiptoed from the room.
At a quarter past eleven l was
in bed and fast asleep. At twelve
I was awake, wide awake, and
wondering why. Had 1 been dream
ing? In my dream some one had
made a noise-a noise like a fall
ing chair. Only it had been muf-
fed noise-far away. For no rea-
son at all the goose pimples rose
on my arms and priclSling sensa-
ton ran the length Of my spine. I
felt my hair standing on end.
And then l heard a sound-a
sound like some one carefully
righting a fallen chair And it was
not in a dream. l was wide awake!
1 do not know now why got
out of bed and opened the door
that led to the salon. But I did. I
turned on the light, quickly, before
l could remember how frightened
1 was. There was no one in the
salon and the lobby was quite de-
serted. l sighed in relief. / raised
my arm to snap off the light, and
and then l saw saw the chair
that had fallen and had been
righted again! 1t was the chair
by the round black table that
had no legs! I knew it was that
chair, for three hours earlier I had
sat in it as / had gone over the
list of the morrow's appointments.
I had left the chair pushed flush
with the table, and now it faced
sidewise. to match the position of
its companion at the opposite end
of the table. AS l stared, scarcely
believing my eyes, my attention
was caught and held by a ripping
movement of the silver curtain
surrounding the third anteroom.
One minute ! was rooted to the
ground-the intruder was hiding
behind that curtain! The next min
ute 1 had touched the switch and
bounded in one great bound into
my room and into my bed. Let bur-
glars carry off what they would:
1 was scared and no heroine!

CHAPTER. FIVE

WHEN MRS. GREEDY had gone
I wandered aimlessly about the
salon, admiring my temporary
workshop. How Polly would rave
over the place, l thought, re-ex-
amining the driers and the per-
manent waving machine and the
perfectly equipped manicuring ia
bles. So engrossed was l in my
study that it was some minutes
until l realized l was no longer
alone. A shadow, a woman's shad-
ow, wavering on the silver curtains
caused me to cry out and Whirl
suddenly to face the intruder.
II am so sorry! l have fright
ened YOU" A woman in evening
dress stood before me.
II didn't hear you come in,"
replied. "Your shadow startled
me-"
IL thought someone had left
on the lights" The woman made
her explanation falteringly. Il
saw them from the corridor"
"Oh" 1 eyed her curiously. She
was frankly middle-aged and quite
plain. Her figure beneath the folds
of her gown was thin and
scrawny. But it was her eyes that
held my attention-they were
small and brown and utterly sad.
II am Mrs. Horace Wither-
SPOON" she went on, and some
thing clicked inside my brain.
What was it Tim had said? Oh,
yes-like a kid what's found out
there amt no Sanity Claus"
I'm Elsie Ritter" 1 said quick
ly, trying not to stare at her. I'm
taking Kitty Wilson's place."
81 remember" Her voice came
tiredly. "You-you won't forget
about the lights?"
assured her that I would not
forget.
Good night" She smiled, brief
ly, and went away.
The woman was not telling the
truth! Then l suddenly remen-
bered what it was about Mrs. Hor-
aces explanation that had not
rung true-those heavy doors at
the Manor, why, you could not see
even a chink of light when they
were closed! And the outer door of
the salon had been closed-tightly.
What was it that Mrs. Horace
Withespoon, Jr., had wanted from
the beauty salon at nine o'clock at
night?
Promptly at ten o'clock l pre-
sented myself at the salon entrance
to the elder Mrs. Witherspoon's
suite. The unwholesome Eliza ad-
mitted me. She had a sheet Of pa
per in her hand which she poked
silently at me. It was the list of
special preparations required for
the old lady's treatment. It looked
like an itemized account of the war
debt.
"Please get the things from the
salon and bring them here" she re-
quested in her too-soft voice.
VERY we'll" l had meant to
speak loudly, but somehow my own
voice rose scarcely above a whis-
per. was catching it, too, this un-
canny habit Of talking and acting
as though the place were a
morgue.
When I returned with my tray
Of jars and bottles and my pan of
warm water Eliza was lifting the
old lady from the bed to a great
chair beneath the ceiling light.
Strange, thought, with all her
money Mrs. Witherspoon had not
wired her room for side and table
lamps. But there it was! Wealthy
people did the queerest things!
i Put me down! Put me down."
