Waiting only until she could hear Laroche‘s footsteps receding in the disâ€" tance, she walked across to the table. It was not until she had contrived after many ludicrously unsuccessful efforts to get the handle of the dagger between her teeth, that she realized this achieveâ€" ment would be entirely useless unless she could get at least one hand free. The sense of shock caused her to go rigidâ€"and with that physical and menâ€" tal shrinking as it were, the miracle happened: the cords binding her wrists "Thank you," she murmured contriteâ€" ly. If only he would go! On the table where she had placed it before answerâ€" ing the call was the woman‘s poniard. Once she could reach it she might be able to cut the bonds that imprisoned her wrists. And once her hands were free she would make a dash for liberty. Help must ‘be obtained from someâ€" where; she could not leave Susan in the power of these fiends. "Dear me," sad Laroche, "how toauchâ€" ing it is to see one woman have so much consideration for another! But you mistake my intention, my dear Miss Norris. Mackintosh is 'the name of my personal physician; I am anxious for him to examine Miss Renton in case she is serfously ill. If that is unfortunately the case, I can promiss you that your friend will receive every attention." He signed to the woman and the latte: halfâ€"dragged, halfâ€"carried Susan out of the room. "And now I expect you would like some supper?" he went on. "Directly Eally is free she will bring yvou some "Leave her alone, you beast!" she shouted; "leave her aloneâ€"you‘ve torâ€" tured her enough!" "Take her away and get old Macâ€" kintosh on the telephone." It was when the woman had jerked Ssusan to her feet that Elsie‘s nerves gave way. "I don‘t know; she‘s been like that ever since she got hereâ€"perhaps she‘s dead; I haven‘t troubled to find out," was the unconcerned reply. "What‘s demanded Sally. He turned away without replying; and instantly Elsie knew she had made a mistake; the mention of her uncle had made the masterâ€"criminal brood. over his failure. Laroche turned quickly and in doing so his eye caught the stillâ€"inert figure of Susan Renton. "If you didn‘t possess such energetic wouldâ€"be rescuers, Miss Norris," he said in a notâ€"unkindly tone, "I, on my part. should mast be put to the necessity of forcing you to make such hurried deâ€" partures." She started to try to plead with him. "What is the gsod of keeping me here? I‘ve toild you I know nothing about my uncle‘s work. Don‘t you beâ€" lieve me?"

It was not until this first feeling of exultation had passed that she stopped herself just in time from giving a shout of joy; in her haste the woman Laroche had called "Sally" had left the door open! .

The window treatment will be Draperis ing and satisfying. There are many windows from which the view is not pleasing, such as those in apartment rooms overlooking courts, or which have views of towering brick walls across the street. Even in housts it is not uncommon for some windows to have indifferent views from them For whatever reason the outlook is not attractive, it becomes the province of Draperis While it is impossible to lay down any definite rules without knowing the The eating rules for being comfortâ€" able on a long train ride are to eat rather light meals and to order what you want with a knowledges of the kind of dishes you can depend on. Don‘t scold the waiter for poor food because the steward, the chef and the supervisâ€" ing steward in the road‘s terminal ofâ€" fices are all responsible. Remember too the restricted space for cooking and marvel that so many peouole can be fed in a comparatively short time. Eat a light luncheon because the afternoon seems long and you really don‘t need much energy when riding. A salad bowl is featured on some railâ€" roads and can always be obtained. If you like to mix the dressing yourself, order oil, vinegar, chili sauce or other condiments and an extra dish in which to blend it. The fruit and cereal comâ€" bination is delicious for luncheon or an oyster stew and celery. There are several things usually on the dinner menu which are standardizâ€" ed so that you know exactly what you will get. Tomato juice, clam broth (hot or cold), steamed brown bread, figs in syrup, fig pudding and plum pudding are examples. Satisfactory dishes to order are steaks, chops, ham with eggs and eggs any style. A great deal of traveling has taught me that certain things are always satisâ€" fctory. Starting with breakfastâ€"a petulant time for manyâ€"it is a good plan to ask the waiter to bring you a pot of coffee immediately. By the time it anppears you are ready with your orâ€" der. Readyâ€"toâ€"eat cereals with fruit in season are always good. This is the best meal in which to include bran or whole wheat because a day on the train is an inactive one.
