f t xx xx xx xx xx xx xxx 11 xx 11 xs tx xx xx xx xx n xx xx xt ACTON stood by the ecu MISS table In the library with a mnteh In her baud The big room was as dnrk as a cave She could see absolutely nothing But what was It that sho heard Surely some one was moving softly over the heavy carpet Whos there cried the girl The only answer was a sound of scurrying feet Some ouo was run ning toward the door communicating with the conservatory- Instantly the knob clicked sharply but the door did not open because It was locked as Miss Acton well knew The girl hud au Impulse to scream and another to run away but her strongest desire was for light She feared darkness more than the mys tery that It hid It required less time than the tick of a clock for her to turn on the gas In the drop light and strike the match that was ready In her baud The gas Ignited with explosive suddenness All that was In the room seemed to leap Into being out of the vanishing shad ows With his back against the conserva tory door and his outstretched hands upon the wall as if to steady him stood a young man tall lean and pale lie wore n long black overcoat but It was hung open and revealed the garb of a convict Miss Acton let her pent up breath es cape from her lips with a sound like a sigh of relief Do not be alarmed she said I know who you are and I will not be tray you Sit down and we will de cide what It Is best to do The convicts gaze was bent upon her with painful Intensity She seated herself by the table and he advanced toward her with the hesitating stealth Iness of a cat Some one will come he said in a whisper No she replied My aunt has gone to her room and the servants have their duties However if you are afraid you may lock that door Sho indicated the one by which she had entered and ho hastily locked it Then he flung himself into au easy chair near to hers and fixed his eyes upon her as steadfastly as their na ture would allow They were dull blue eyes but the extraordinary rapidity of their restless play gave them on effect of brilliancy which suited well the character of his face It was a shrewd face lacking the higher elements of in telligence yet far above the level of mere animal cunning I read In a newspaper that you had escaped she said but I did not sup pose that you would dare to come here Yet I believe that your father expect ed you and that he went away to avoid the risk of meeting you The convict said nothing but the in tensity of his facial expression was a distinct contribution to the conversa tion You dont understand said the girl Probably you dont know who 1 am Let me tell you the whole situation in a few words You knew of your fa thers second marriage a Certainly Ho married my aunt and I came here to live with them by your fathers great kindness We knew that ho had a son and that his name could not be mentioned In this house but neither my aunt nor myself had the slightest knowledge of the cause of the estrangement between you and him It was ouly by accident thnt I found out where you were How did It happen he asked Through your letter to him last spring the ouc that ho returned un opened I noticed the Sing Sing post mark on it when it came Of courso I did not then know It was from you but he wrote tho return direction upon the envelope lie sat at this table and afterward I saw upon the blotter a part of the address reversed of course but legible Tho State Prison nnd your middle name Irving Arthur Irving Vane Well Then I know that you were a con vict und It wus easy to guess that your crime and your disgrace had caused your father to renounce you But let mo tell you a secret ho loves you yet I kuow It I am sure of It nnd that Is why I am going to help you tonight though ho would never forglvo me if he knew It And you read of my escape Yes I read n few days ago that a convict named Irving had escaped with two others I knew of course that you had dropped your last name for your familys sake when you were arrested There was a moments silence Then the young man leaned forwnrd with his face elobo to hers nnd asked in n low Intense voice What are you go ing to do for mo What do you need sho asked Food A hiding place no sprang to his feet so suddenly that tho girl was frightened almost to tho point of crying out Sronpy money he whispered The Return n Of the Disinherited By Howard Fielding CopYitioirr 1FW I1V ClIARLUa W IlOOKE tt Thats what I need With mouey enough I can get out of this country nnd begin a uow life on tho other side of tho world If I go back to prison It will kill all tho good thats In me If I dont If I get clean away who knows what I can make of myself I believe that thero Is much truth In what you Bay she replied If I could have advised you beforo you broke out of prison I would havo told you to servo your sentence nnd then begin life anew But I know that If you aro captured now you will havo to servo years and years In addition to your original sentence I cannot ask you to do that It Is very wrong of me but I shall help you to escape How much money do you need More than you can get Im nfraid said he gloomily I must make Aus tralia somehow There was a safe built Into the wall of tho library Miss Acton walked up to it turned tho knob of tho combina tion lock nnd swung open tho Iron door Within was a second door of thin mctnl which tho girl opened by means of a key that she took from her pocket There were books of account on eacli side of the safe within and between them three little drawers with pigeon holes above and below Miss Acton took a roll of money from the lowest of tho drawers and handed it to tho convict who counted It rapidly Four hundred said he I can never do It with this It Is all thnt belongs to me sho said Of courso we cannot touch your fathers money An Inward struggle convulsed the young mans slender frame Why not he said at last You say that he still loves me It would not bo honest she replied It would be theft Cant you make this do Australia is a long way off said he I think my father ought to con tribute something No said she firmly I will not con sent nnd you should not ask me Im afraid Its all up with me said tho convict sinking into n chair Miss Acton reflected deeply It is possible that If I asked my aunt she might do something for us she said but I cant go to her now be cause there are people In the hall They might look In hero If I opened the door There certainly are people out there said he Ive heard them talk ing for tho last few minutes But I conld hide you know True said Miss Acton and per haps thats the best way Get behind those curtnlns at tho window The convict rose hastily Miss Acton closed the Inner door of the safe and put tho key Into her pocket As she turned nway she saw her companion standing with his face In his hands while his form was shaken by convul sive sobs Why whats the matter asked the girl In tones of sympathy Its nothing lie replied only only you locked thnt door You didnt trust me Why should you And yet If there was some one who did some one In nil the world who could see the little good thero is In mo Miss Acton took the key of tho Inner safe door from her pocket and laid It upon the table You see that I do trust you she said Thank you thank you a thousand times ho murmured nnd so strong THE EOOK MISSED THE DUK0LAI1 was his emotion that ho positively staggered as ho made his way toward his place of concealment Miss Acton passed out into tho hnll which was now light nnd wns greatly surprised to see In the reception room on tho other side her aunt In conver sation with a young gentleman Ho arose ns Miss Acton approached and sho was the better able to ndmlro his exceptionally fine physique Ills face matched his form being remarkable for strength nnd beauty and more over It hnd for her an aspect of famili arity He looked as much llko the master of the house as was possible considering the difference In their ages Mildred said that young Indvs THE NORFOLK NEW

knew or suspected In that moment will readily occur to the rentier Without a word to the visitor she darted bnek across the hall The library door was looked Iu another Instant sho was lack again In the reception room Dr Vane she cried theres a thief In the library I have given him ull my money nnd the key of the safe I thought ho was you Thought he was II exclaimed tho young man astounded Yes I thought you were In Slug Sing nnd that youd escaped and Thought I was In Sing Slngt lie cried So I was 1 am assistant to the prison physician and I have es capedfor n couple of days But this thief I We must catch him Has ho looked the door Then tll break It down No no exclaimed Mildred Hun nround to the window lie will escape that way Auntie call the servants She Hew to the outer door dragging Vane after her In a moment he wns racing nround the house Mrs Vnno had run through the hull to collect a posse of male dependents Mildred left alone hastened to the library door nnd listened Instantly EHE BAW VANE HOLM Stl TOE CULPIHT BY THE COLLAR the door was opened and tho convict sprang out into the hall Im much obliged to you for sending the others away he called out as he tied by her Youre a pretty bright glrl I dont think Mildred felt Unit this was twitting on facts Of courso she should havo known thnt ho would listen at tho door That she hadnt thought of it but hnd deliberately cleared tho way for his escape lent an unbearable sting to his taunt She could not stop him he had pushed her aside as If she had been a paper pattern of a dress hung on a stick But she simply had to do something to show that she had at last waked up to Uio realities of the situa tion Seizing tho first thing Uiat came to hand she hurled it with desperate resentment at the head of the fleeing rascal It chanced to be a small but heavily bound volume of poetry that some one had left on the newel at tho foot of Uio main staircase It would have been no mean missile in a practiced hand but a womans bad marksmanship is proverblnl Tho book missed tho bur glar and struck squarely between the eyes of Dr Arthur Irving Vnno as that gentleman leaped up the steps leading to the front door He had had a glance through tho library window nnd had learned the real direction of the Uilefs flight Tho missile blinded Vane Just long enough to permit the rascal to dodgo him An Instant Inter both men had vanished In the darkness that shrouded the lawn Mildred sat down on tho steps and burst Into tears of rage She paid nr attention when her aunt with the serv ants In her wake rushed by to Join In tho pursuit Not Ull sho heard the voice of Vane returning did she raise her head You will beg tho young ladys par don for all that you havo said and done was what Mildred heard Looking up she saw Vano holding Uio culprit by the collar I recognize this fellow the young physician continued His name Is Irving Ills homo Is only a few miles from hero nnd It Is not strange that he should havo selected Uils house for a robbery that should help him In his flight Ho need not npologlzo to mo said Mildred I dont deserve it When the elder Mr Vnno returned to his liomo on the following day ho hoard tho story of his sons adventure It lost nothing by Mildreds telling Tho young man appeared as her res cuer from the clutches of a desperate brigand The fact that both Dr Vanes eyes were sllghUy discolored
