The telsphone bell shrilled on, loud and persistent, while they went up to the fourth floor, which was occupied by the servants cver the marquis flat. Raoul tsok up the knife, wiped the telephone so that there would be â€" no finger prints, uncovered Valthex‘s body, disconnected the mechanism of the lumintus screen, and they left the flat, leaving the door wide open behind them. . . . There‘s someoné hurt here, and I want the concierge to hear the teleâ€" phone and come up. Got that? No, ro, Caroline, nothing to worry about, everything‘s O. K. . . . Just something quite unimportant . . . Byeâ€"bye." He hung up, and almost immediately the "telephone bell started ringing. Then ho grati>sed Clara‘s hand, saying: "Come on! In two minutes the conâ€" clerge will be here and will see to things. She knows Gorgeret, ard she‘s sure to fetch him. And. we shall esâ€" cape from the housetops!" His viice was so steady, nis grasp so firm, that Clara did not dream of resisting. Raoul pried open the dsor, an easy matter it was neither locked nor bolted. * "Hello! Hello! Can‘t you hear me, mademoiselle? No, I don‘t want a number, give me the supervisor. Hello! Is that you Caroline? What splendid luck! How are you, my dear? . .. Now, listen,I want you to ring up this flat without stoâ€"pping for five minutes. He glanced at his watch, then snatcheq up the telephone, and called harshly : "What are you blethering about?" demanded Racul, who had now comâ€" pletely recovered his customary calm and lucidity.

The fifth floor of the nextâ€"dsor house is right on a level with the rcof of this tne. Now you must admit . . .." But however good their justification, the first thing was to get safely away, and Raoul proceeded to strain every nerve. He went through a little pasâ€" sage that gave onto an empty room, and helped Clara in. Luck was with them; the flat they had just entered was also empty. There were only a few sticks of furniture, evidently the snants had not quite finisheau moving sut. of pursuit by Gcorgeret; she did nos stop to think what it would be like flee« ing across the roofs. "We‘re auite all right, you know Valthex attackeq us firstâ€"it‘s a case of sslfâ€"defence if ever there was one! He started it." She was terrifieq that her one friend the man in whom she trusted, to whom she pinned her hops, would leave her. She had no thought of the possibility But as Clara admitted nothing, Raoul changed the subject. "I‘ve murdered him .. . I‘m a murâ€" derer . .. you‘ll cast me Ooff . . ." Silent and tragic, Clara Cbeyed mechanically all that he told her to do, occasicnally murmuring: The fourth floor, being the servants‘ quarters, was empty at this time of day. and the attics were full of trunks ana old lumber. They were locked. Racul forced one open. It was lighted from a window in the roof which he reached easily. "Coukdin‘t be better," said Raoul, with his usual ironical caim. _ "Now the concierge can lock after things. She‘s the responible person; it‘s nothâ€" ing to ao with us!" had shut the door, they heard a shout downstairs. It was the concierge, who, attracted by the ringing of the teleâ€" phore, had gone to see what was the matter, and on looking into Raoul‘s flat had seen everything upside down, and Valthex‘s boedy near the divan. souk > c % They passed through ts the front Bob," shouted the lady of the house to her husband, "how do you expect t: drive a nail in the wall with that toothâ€" "Wheeling" began last week in Timâ€" mins as Third avenue and some of the other main streets began to show paveâ€" mert through the icy ruts.

(Chesley Enterprise) One of the best stories we have heard in some time was related to us last Thursday by Jack McGowan and "Doc" Morton of Stuthhampton.

Five of the workmon meandered over to the United Church sheds after dinner and cOmmenced razing the structure. He pictured her wandering alone in the night beside the river. The dark waters, reflecting a thousand lights, drawing her, until she threw herself in. Racul passed a sleepless night. His iron selfâ€"control even made things worse for him, he saw it all so lucidly. He was filled with remorseâ€"at having failed to fCrestall Valthex‘s cunning plot, at having left Clara alone in the rouse. In the garden, he met his servanrt Then he found Courville indoors. "Where‘s Clara?" he gasped. "I haven‘t seen her." It. was a terrible bloOw to Raoul. Where should he search for her? What â€"cculd he do? Enforced inaction added to his anxiety. Moreover he was haunted by a terriole thcught so logical that he felt it would be only the natural consequence Of the fearful strain Clara had undergone. She felt FRerself to be a murderer; she was conâ€" vinced that she had thereby become an cbject of horror to Racul. What more likely than that she should commit suicide? Did not that explain her sudâ€" den disappearancte? Did it n0t mear that she could not face Raroul again? Mr. Greathead has Great Problem to Solve Now In her overâ€"excited, nerous state, she must either ntt have understood where she was to meet him, or she had mutrâ€" led things up and was now anxkiousiy awaiting him at Auteuil. He leapt into a taxi, taking the wheel as was his custom when in a hurry. He waited half an hour, an hour, every now and then dashing out and lcoking in the neighbouring streets. No sign of Clara. Then, suddenly, he decided to leave tke hotel imagining that Clara must have returned to the house at Auteuil. Feeling very worried indeed, he hurâ€" ried back to the house they had just left, then returned again to the hotel. Still she had ntct come. "@Queer!" he muttered. "Better wait a bit." He woent along the narrow, busy street till he reached the third turnâ€" ing on the right. To the left of this, he coulg se the sign of the Suburban and Japanes> hotel, outwardly of modâ€" est appearance, â€" but containing, as hne knew, a grassâ€"rzOofed lounge, comfor;â€" ably and artistically furnished. He looked all round the lounge. Clara was not thers. Nor could h find her in the hotel or the surroundâ€" ing streets. "Now then, cheer up, don‘t look s3 miserable. Remember, â€" you‘ve just saved my life, I msean it. You that revolver was loaded!" He lied to her with perfect composâ€" ure. But ncthing he could do or say could console Clara, angd she léft him with bowed head, a picture of mistry. He counted a hundred; then another hundred, to make quite sure. Then he, to>, left the house, wearing dark glasses and kseping his hat rammed down over his face. Racul, looking down over the banâ€" isters, saw her turn to the left. "Now let‘s think what we‘d better do. There‘s bound t> be a concierge. I don‘t know if the one here can seo us going out of the house. Anyhow, we‘d better be on the safe side and go out separately.
