Good night, sir."; Marshall was at pains prfjitly to seek Wainwrijrht. whom he find on the point of retiring, and t make known the information he uncreceiv ed from, Andrew concerning ie pro jetied burglarj-. It was agrl lte tween them that the detectivcshould maintain a strict secret watt over the whole establishment thmghout the nizht. with the twofold olect of being ready for any move on te part of the sender of the black cardind of foiling the expected effort of te rob ber against the jewels in the sfe. Wainwright was to hold hinself In rcmliness for a summons at an time, but chose net to &hare direct.lyln the watch. Jt seemed certain to brti men that the Master Mind would beiware t of their conference. Undou jtdly he had intended that bis announrment of the visit from a thief shot! I be passed on to Wainwright. i,s thad Leon. Yet the exact reasons ti hi bis course defied analysis. Meanwhile Luceue was in dei air because of the desjerate situution which she was confronted. -A Judge must have taken into "0isl titli ust ra- Hon her youth and inexperience, her feeling of devoted gratitude and r er- once for the man who gcidej Iher choice, and the judgment cr ust ittive bc-n lenient, though it might: fin( ier guilty. But she had no mercy tout rd herself. She had come to know (he truth at Inst the truth she had vcifed to the Master Mind that it Li impjsl- b!e to build happiness on lies. ySue Lad lived a lie. for the hocdwinliug of the man who loved her, who 'had honored her above all women, who jad given Into her keeping his honor by making her his wife. Thus she bad foully Itetrayed his faith. Whatever the penalty for truth at the outset, .he truth should have been told. She n derstood ipw. Her conscience Lad warned her. She had stifled conscietce ct tho? dictation of the man whom she esteemed for his goodness to her, Aa )rew. Now realization of her passive guilt was fully hers. But tie ruin hnd rv y M. K. Fly company been wrought. It was too late to undo the evil accomplished by her treachery. There was nowhere .any Loin? of re demption. See Lad sinned; she must do iK'iiance with a life of agonized mourning for the bliss she Lad lost. TLere w-as left to her only the ability to spare her husband in some measure. That she must do. though ber heart break. It was just five minutes before the hour of 2 when Andrew, in his cupola room, extinguished his light, vliicb had shone from the tower windows like a beacon, Creegan. lurking within the shadows of clustered shrubberies a hundred yards from the mansion, heaved a sigh of relief. Then, as the calm of the place remained unbroken, he began stealthily to make bis way toward the massive bulk of the house. Marshall Lad established himself in a window seat of the library, from which he had an extensive view of his eurroundings. Farther down the room toward the rear, the air-ore. In which was the safe, showed its draperies of portieres :;lons the line of the opposite wall. Facing nina. a little further toward the front, was the wide doorway into ttye LalL through which was to be seen a part of the stairway. The softly burning hall light cast its illumination over the stairs and hall itself, and shone through the doorway into the library, though the radianc-e here was dimmed so that objects were only barely visi ble in shadowy wise. From time to time the detective had undertaken a cautious round of the bouse to, make sure that nothing if a nefarious sort was anywhere uiuler way. But as the appointed hour of Andrew's promised burglary approached he held his po sition immovably iu the window seat, where the drawn hangings hid him well while permitting his espionage. Then a faint sound from the stairway caught his ear. and he peered forth in anxious expectancy. Presently a soft noise near at hand caught the attentive ear of the detec tive. A gentle creaking sound followed and Marshall was speedily aware, out of his professional experience, that the window further down the room was be ing skilfully opened. Then, after an interval of silence, a pencil of light, the beam of an electric torch, shone from between the hang ings of the rear window. The light moved slowly to and fro. taking its survey of the room -with a leisurely thoroughness that again provoked Mar shall to appreciation of the marauder's adept methods. Then, at last, the radiance rested for a secc::d time on the alcove, and there continued for an appreciable period. The light vanished. There was no sound, but Marshall know that the thief was stealing on silent feet through the shadows of the room, that he had come to the safe, that be was ready to yes. n glow of light became faintly visible within the recess. The detective prepared for action by fulling a blackjack from his pocket. He parted the curtains, and would have Issued from his retreat, when again his attention was held by a wisp of sound. He waited, iu tense silence, his eyes roving, for he was uncertain as to the direction whence the noise had issued. Then his glance caught sight of a form moving slowly on the stairway. In the first instant he per ceived with a start of astonishment, that the new intruder on the scene was a woman, in the next, as the face was Hfled o that U fwlOe tight of the hall lamp fell full ou it. he recogutized Mrs. Wainwright. and his earlier feel ing of surprise was lost in total dis may. For the woman's manner was plain proof of guilt of what guilt the spying man could hazard no guess, but guiit none the less. Her gait was not merely slow, it was stealthy, with the awk ward stealthiness f c-ce wholly un accustomed, and the gaze that daVted here and there so hurriedly was fur tive, laden with fear of discovery. These evidences were re-enforced by the shudder that now and again shook her visibly. Marshall was anpn.lled by this latest development in the mys tery that beset the man be sought to serve. The 6oft gleam In the alcove I ccame discernible to her. At first glimpse of It Rhe halted, and a smothered gasp of terror broke from her lips. She stood rigid, looking straight before lier with dilated eyes. Then, at last, she swayed a little, tensed swiftly and went for ward again. When she was come to the alcove she pushed the drajerles apart and resolutely stepped within. The portieres c.osed behind ber. Mar shall crushed back an oath of amaze ment Yet for a brief season the detective was held Inactive by stark bewilder ment. Then, to his astonished ears came a hushed sound of wlusering from beyond the .curtains of the alcove. It was incredible, monstrous, that this should be. Nevertheless, the truth was palpable. There was no outcry, no shriek for help from the woman, no flight by a safety seeking housebreaker. Instead there was only whispering, this secret conference in the dead of .night between the thief and the mistress of the mansion. Suddenly another idea flashed in his brain, impelled him to immediate endeavor: Was it neces sary, after all. that- Wainwright him self should ever know the whole hate ful truth? Perhaps, even, there might be some explanation of the wife's guilt that fell short of infamy. Firm of purpose at last. Marshall crept slowly across the room to the al cove. Now be could hear the two with in more plainly, and he listened eager iy. buf the words were unintelligible. Convinced that longer effort at eaves droping would avail naught, the de tective, with Lis weapon ready, put forth a cautious hand and parted the draperies. Notwithstanding all his painstaking, something Itetrayed this new presence to the keen senses of the burglar. As the iortieres moved slowly apart under Marshall's careful fingers there came a sudden flash of light full In his face. Blindly he sprang forward and found himself in grapple with the thief. A scream came from the woman. The torch fell to the floor, to be crushed a momeut later under the fc:t of the men. The woman shrank in a corner, half swooning. The men writhed and tottered to and fro, scutfig over the thick pile of velvet. Tlie weapon of the detective gave him an advantage. One fierce blow struck the back of Cree gan's head, and the man lurched heav ily to the floor. Marshall, after an instant's panting pause, got out bis'own torch and turn ed its light on the scene. He saw Ihs woman crouching miserably against the wall. On the floor the thief was moaning faintly. Then the detective's eyes caught sight of another object on the floor. He leiit and picked it nn a sheaf of bi'.Ls of large denomination Here was more mystery. But there was no time now to bother with it! He thrust the bills into his coat jtocket. Marshall stepped to the main electric switch and flooded the whole room with radiance. Once again I.ucene sti fled a cry as the brilliant Illumination bliuded ber. The stricken burglar stir red and groaned, and then unclosed LU eyes and lay blinking dazedly for a few seconds. But soon he sat up. very clumsily, and put a w avering hand to his head. He brought away the fing ers all bloody, and regarded the stains with disgust. "He'll do well enough now." Mar shall stated, as he looked up and met the alarmed gaze of tbe woman. , Creegan. following the direction of the detective's glance, turned his head weakly and perceived the girl, where she stood against the wall. His coarse face twisted into a grin. "Hello, Maggier he mumbled. "Say. the bull jiear croaked me." "But you will be able to go in a min nte." Lucene urged, wringing her hands in desperation.. "Oh, please! You must! Mr. Marshall will give you the money. He picked it up." "I'll take you along when I go." Creegan snarled. "What do you mean?" she gasped. But Marshall interrupted roughly. "Here, you!" he snapped at Creegan. "You get a hustle on yourself." lie seized the burglar by the collar and jerked tjm to his feet, "Go on and get out of here! Didn't you hear what the lady said?" "Gimme back that roll she give me!" he commanded surlily. "You stand a fat chance of getting that." Marshall exclaimed with a sneer. Then, as the thief moved a little: "None of that side stepping, either!" "Oh. I ain't trying to beat It," Cree gan declared. "I don't have to. Marshall rested wordless, stupefied by the colossal impudence of this crim inal, caught in the very act of bur glary. Then the woman darted to him: "Oh. Mr. Marshall, please let him go!" she besought him frantically. "Give him the money and let him go! Oh, you must!" The detective, however, could no longer accept this way out of the tan gle of events. Ills first instinct of de sire to shield the woman for her hus band's sake, if not for her own. was overcome by the responsibility involv ed by such a coarse. "It is Impossible." he said. "Oh. if you only knew!" she breathed. ' Marshal! remained unshaken . "Madnni." be said coldly, "1 am In your husband's employ." She twisted his argument in her own favor: "But it would be doing him the great est possible kindness to let this man go." She made a despairing gesture. "Oh. I know juet how strange it must seem to you. but it's true it's true!" Marshall found that it required all his strength of will to withstand her supplication. "You mean, without your husband's knowledge?" "Oh. yes. yes!" was the instant an swer. "He must uevtr know never; I can't tell you why I can't. I can't! If I only could! But I swear to you. on my honor as a woman, that my bus- 1 jr " "You mean, without your husband'c knowledge?" band's happiness, his career, his houoi even, everything, depends on your do bug as I ask you. Please oh. please!" Nevertheless Marshall had the coin age to denjvuer prayer. "It is impossible." "Why. I'm his wife, and I love him It's for his sake that 1 beg of you b let this man go." Sheniade a sligh gesture toward Creegan. "He'll go i you will let him. Yes. he'll go. an never come-back again." She glance: for an instant into the brutal face, a she added her quest iou confidently "You will go. won't you? Tell him!" "Sure thing!" was the harsh answer The thiefs small eyes, bloodshot now were leering. "Sure. I'll go fast cuougb If -you'll go with me. Maggie." , Lucene seemed not to hear the vih utterance. Certainly she gave it noap parent heed, only persisted in her will! petitioning. "Don't you see, Mr. Marshall, no om will ever know not a living soul ever !" - The Toice of Creegan sounded. "Say," he cried to the defective, "arc you such a bonehead you can't see that me and the lady was goin' away to gether?" Marshall made a threatening movement. Creegan spoke again, reck less of the menace, "Aw. cut it out. cull. Just bsk the lady." Marshall looked down into the face of the trembling woman. But the denial for which he longed did not burst from her lips. . Instead, she stood in mute abasement. "Did you hear what the man .said?" Marshall asked. "Yes." came the muffled syllable, "Of course he lies?" There was a pause, pregnant of a hateful possibility. And then, at last there came from the girl 1 lie word that was the seal of her degradation: "No." It. was hardly a breath o sound. (To Bo Continued.) For Sale. An extra good milk ccw.
