"Roger," exclaimed Altson, passionnto
Ir, "tills must be Fergusson's doings ho
must have tampered with your letter nnd
cut out the entry in the ledger, and of
course the check is in his possession."
"Wait a moment, Allie," returned Itog
cr, looking very stem and pale. "Tho
check was cashed the next morning by a
clerk of ours who was turned away for
dishonesty; but tho bank did not know
that, and thought him still in our employ,
so the money is lost to us. My father is
dreadfully angry and puzzled about the
whole affnir, but he docs not suspect For
gusson. He flew in a perfect rage when I
hinted about his gambling debts. Ho
blames me for carelessness ; he says I
ought not to have left the office without
locking up both the check nnd the ledger
In the iron safe. Fergusson has told my
father that he saw Ibbotson the clerk we
dismissed, hanging about the yard talking
to the men. lie declares that while we
were in the yard Ibbotson must have got
Into the office, turned over the letters and
abstracted my receipt; he must have read
the entry in the open ledger, and he knew
all the keys, and would easily find the
check. He has gulled my father complete
ly; he has actually made him believe-that,
in ten minutes, or a quarter of an hour at
the most, Ibbotson could cut the page in
the ledger, track the check to the private
drawer, hunt out my receipt nnd 'make his
escape and all this without any precon
ceived pMi. Wily, the whole thing is mon
strous and utterly Improbable. I am posi
tive that the only thing Ibbotson has done
is to cash the check."
"Roger, oh, how dreadful it all is! Of
course, there can be no doubt in your
own mind who did it all?"
"There is not a slindow of doubt in my
own mind, Allie; but how am I to bring
my father to believe it? Ibbotson has left
the place, or he was actually going to set
the detectives on him. Fergusson has com
pletely hoodwinked hira. Circumstantial
evidence is strong against Fergusson, to
my thinking. Judge for yourself, Allie;
he was with me in the office when I open
ed the check ; he saw me make the entry
in the ledger, as well as write the receipt ;
he also must have seen me thrust the
check hastily into the private drawer be
fore I ran out into the yard. No doubt
lie returned to the office as soon as my at
tention was engrossed with poor Mitchell.
A few minutes 'was all that was needed to
accomplish the job. Allie. I have found
out tonlay that he is terribly involved, and
that his creditors are threatening him. I
told you things are coming to a crash. I
am afraid we shall lose more than the sum
we received from Simmonds Rrothers."
""ph, Roger, how blind your father is !
What.arc you to do to open his eyes?"
"I am going to watch Fergusson," re
turned Roger, with a frown of anxiety.
"Allie, I never meant to have told you
this. I have been about the town glean
ing facts to-day, but I mean to keep them
to myself for the next four-and-twenty
hours. Fergusson has arrived at some
sort of crisis in his affairs. I am afraid
he will do something desperate. A sum
of money has come into our hands lo-dny
nftpr banking hours, in notes and gold. I
wanted my father to bring it up to the
house, but he scouted the idea as ridicul
ous, as though any thief could open an
Iron safe: but Allie, I am not comfortable
in my mind. Supposing Fergusson has
a duplicate key? My father is so hopeless
ly duped that it is no use saying any more
to him. I have made up my mind to
watch the office to-night."
"But not alone, dear?"
"Yes, of course. Timothy will be there,
if I need help; but I don't mean to take
him into confidence. There is a barge
that passes at ten to-night. The barge
is an acquaintance of mine. I told him
to look out for me by the bridge. I will
get him to land me at the lower end of
Uie yard. Timothy will be in his shed by
that time, thinking about his supper. I
don't want him to see me, or he will en
lighten Fergusson. There Is a handy
wood-pile just outside the office where I
can lie snug."
"Roger!" exclaimed Alison, in a quick,
determined voice, "you shall not go alone ;
I shall watch with you." And as he was
about to interrupt her she went on quiet
ly. "You know Missle nnd Miss Leigh will
be out until half past ten. Papa is always
in his study. They will think I am in bed.
I can lock my door and put the key in ray
pocket, and you have the latch-key. I will
be no trouble to you. I will be as quiet
as a mouse, and not hinder you. I could
not rest I could not sleep, knowing you
were with that bad man. I will he useful
as a witness. You must take me, Roger."
"Are you sure that you mean it that
it will not hurt you?" he nsk-d, slo"ly.
"What should hurt me on a summer's
night? And the barge will be suca un."
"Very well, you shall come if you like.
You are a plucky girl, Allie,"
CHAPTER XIII.
It was still early in the evening when
the young conspirators returned to tho
house, and tho next two hours passed
very slowly to Alison.
At half past nine Mr. Merle was shut
safely in his study. Alison went quickly
Into her room and made her little prepara
tion, A brown hat she had discarded as
being too shabby would just suit hor noc
.turnal purposw; her dress was dark, and
a warm jaekot was all sho needed ; and,
carefully turning down her gas nnd lock
ing her dopr, she crept quiotly downstairs,
to find Ilogor waiting for her In the dark
entry.
He nodded and hold out his hand to her
without speaking, until they were outside
tho gate and wore walking rapidly down
" the road that would lead them to tho
bridge. '
"I have brought this plaid," he ob
served nroBontly. showing it to hor. "I
was so afraid ypu would find It cold If
wo should have to watch many hours. I
don't think I ought to have brought you,
Allie."
L could not have atonped at home,"
ww Alison's nuicJf answer, "la thb the
bridge whero we nrc to wait, Roger? IIow
black tho canal looks 1"
"I am afraid we aro going to, linvo
rain," ho returned, In a vexed volco. "I
do not mind tho moon being absent; tho
darkness Is in our tavor. But what am
I to do with you, AlHe. it wo havo a
wet night? You will catch jour death of
cold."
"Nonsense," replied Alison stoutly, nut
nevertheless she felt an Inward twinge of
discomfort. Neither of them had thought
of tho weather. How weird and cerlo ev
erything looked In the obscuro light, the
dark towing path and tho sluggish canal,
the tall factories, and beyond thorn tho
dim woodpiles and sheds stretching away
Into the distance. The very barge that
camo floating toward them out of tho
darkness seemed to hold dark, grisly
sLapes upon it.
In a few minutes Roger was helping
her to scramble on shore. They wero now
at tho extreme end of the timber yard,
and had some way to walk.
Long before they had reached their
destination tho heavy patter of rain drops
warned them to mako haste; but In the
uncertain light, and with so rough a path,
their speed was greatly retarded.
"Here wo are at last," whispered
Roger; "follow me closely, Allie." And
she obeyed, holding his coat to give her
courage. A pitchy blackness was round
them: Roger's groping only led them still
further Into tho darkness. Alison ex
perienced a sense of suffocation until, n
ray of murky light showed her where she
was at the further entrance of one of
the wood piles, with the office windows
within a few yards of them.
Alison breathed more freely when she
recognized hor position. Tho Interlaced
planks formed nn arched chamber, where
they could move with comfort and be shel
tered from the rain. Roger spread the
plaid near the entrance, and bade his sis
ter make herself as comfortable as cir
cumstances permitted, while he went n
little way to reconnoltcr.
"I hops I have not brought you on a
wild goose chase," hesaid when ho re
turned. "Timothy is eating his supper.
We shall have to be careful when he goes
with his rounds. Unsli .' What is that?"
as a slight sound was plainly audible.
"Don't move, I implore you, Allie !" And
Roger cautiously raised himself on his
hands and knees and crept a few paces
nearer to the entrance, but in a moment
he returned nnd bade Alison to move
further into the darkness.
"It is Fergusson: I heard his voice."
he whispered. "Come a little further;
Timothy has his lantern, and he might
turn it on us; and now not a word if
you can help it. Are you frightened,
dear?"
"No." returned Alison, a little un
steadily, but at that moment she was cer
tainly wishing herself nnd Roger safely
at home. Roger's caution was not in
vain; a sudden flare of light penetrated
the entrance of the wood pile; they could
see two men ; but at the moment the Ian
tern was lowered and Timothy's face was
turned to his companion.
"A wet night, master," he said, in a
grumbling voice. "I'll just go on my beat,
and then back to the shed again."
"All right, Timothy," returned the man
ager, briskly. "I must just hunt for the
paper I told you about. Possibly I may
be a quarter of an hour In the office;
but I will call out to you when I am
ready for you to let me out of the yard."
"Ay, ay, I will let you out, sure enough.
Master Fergusson, if so be as you strike
upon the little window in the shed." And
the old man moved on slowly.
"Don't move, Allie: I'll be back In a
moment," whispered Roger in her ear.
And 'Alison remained where she was,
feeling the dampness all around her, nn
unpleasant moisture beginning to trickle
down her neck. The rain 'was pouring
in torrents outside; its very violence
promised short duration. Presently Roger
crept back to her.
"It is just as I said," he began, hur
riedly. "He is unlocking the safe: he
has a duplicate key I was sure of it.
There is not a moment to lose. I dare
not trust Timothy. I must go for my
father. Allie, may I leave you here? You
are perfectly safe no one would' harm
you. But one of us must watch Fergus
eon; which shall it be?"
"You must go, Roger," she exclaimed.
"You will go more quickly, and will know
how to avoid Timothy."
"Very well, keep up your courage, Al
lie, Mid do not lose sight of the villain,"
ho returned. "I will bring father back
in no time. Wait where you 'are until
Timothy has passed again."
Alison's reply was inaudible, but her
mute assent testified obedience. That
moment she was literally beyond speech;
the horrid darkness seemed to swallow hpr
up again ; a nervous oppression made her
heart beat with distressing quickness. It
was quite a relief when Timothy passed
again ; the familiar figure In the heavy
watchman's coat gave her a comforting
sense o. human support.
Sle stole cautiously across the opi'n
path, and in another moment she nas
standing outside the office window. There
were two windows, for this one was
neceiisarily darkened by the woodpile, but
over tho other the blind had been lowered
to shut out prying glances. Alison sup
posed, as Roger had, that he had locked
himself in to carry on his unhallowed
work. The dark background of plled-up
planks quite overshadowed tho white girl
ish face peering in at the uncurtained
window.
Bho was frightened at her own daring,
but fihe remembered that she was Roger's
witness; it was necessary for her own
eyes to testify to Fergusson's dishonest
doings. Now there could be no mistake;
the open safe was conclusive, and so
were the notes and gold that ho was stow
ing awnj In that great black bag. Alison
watched, half fascinated by horror. Jlo
had nearly finished; yos, ho was locking
his bag and closing the safe, tho candle
stood fluttering beside him on a chair,
not on tho table: ho almost pushed
against it ns ho wont to the door, nnd sot
It opon. Yes, he had locked himself in,
for she could see hlin take tho koy out and
fix It cnrofully In the outer lock, and then
lie went back Into tho room. Oh, what
had become of Rogor? In another mo
ment io could havo escaped with his
booty. The main cntrauco to tho timber
jard was in tho opposlto direction to the
private door opening Into tho garden of
Tho Holms. Hven If Roger and her fath
er were coming In this moment, Fergusaon
would have no difficulty in eluding them.
It wu true the door was locked anil Tim
othy had tho key, but ho could easily
swim ncrosH tho canal and reach tho tow
ing path unseen.
Alison's agony was rising to a pitch
that almost justified rashness. Sho was
becoming desperate In splto of her terror.
A sudden thought came to her, thrilling
her with horror could she do It? Yes,
for Roger's sake she would try. Another
Recond sho was gliding round tho llttlo
building and passed tho curtained window
with a gleam of light shining through tho
crevice. As she passed It there was sud
den darkness; he had extinguished tho
candle. In another instant Alison had
shut tho door, almost knocking Fergus
son back, If sho had known It, and had
turned tho key In tho lock. Alison had
felt a qui k, hysteric sob rise In her throat
us she heard tho key turning under hor
hand. Had sho really douo li? Had
sonic unseen presence beside her given her
the needful H length? Was tho dishonest
servant a piisoner, and she his captor?
Rut Alison h.id no tlmo to do moro than
ask hereelf these questions, for Timothy
camo out of his shed, nnd was hobbllug
toward her, and tho next moment the key
was in Alison's pocket, and sho was stand
ing at bay.
"What docs this mean, miss? How
came you here?" exclaimed tho old man,
suspiciously.
"I have lode i-d Mr. Fergusson In; ho It
stealing papa's money out of the safe,"
returned Alison, turning her white face to
Timothy, and the sob rising in her throat
again. "I will not give up the key until
papa comes."
A fierce kick at the door behind her
drove her from It n few paces.
"Let me out, Timothy 1" thundered Fer
gusson. "The girl Is mad; sho must bo
out of hor mind to say such things. Mr.
Merle desirKl mo to look over sonic papers
for him; they are most important, and
there must be no delay."
"You hear what he says, miss," return
ed Timothy, rather roughly ; "we must
not keep tho master's manager locked up.
I warrant you J( is all right; they keep
them ptpotK In the safe. Give mo tho
key and I will open the door for the gen
tleman." "Not until papa comes," was Allson'j
reply; nnd, in spite of Timothy's surly re-.
monstrances and Fergusson's impreca
tions, she remained firm. Timothy was
driven to his wits' end, when suddenly
footsteps were hoard, and Alison darted
forward to meet them.
"Papa, 1 saw him at the safe; ho was
putting the gold and notes into his bug.
I saw him do it!" she cried excitedly.
"He blew out the candle, and then I lock
ed him in. Here Is the key."
"Timothy, go at once to tho police sta
tion!" exclaimed Mr. Merle, In a voico
they had never heard before; it was so
hoarse with indignation. "Roger, take
your sister into the house. Thcro is n
fire in my study; I will wnlt here."
"No, no; I can go alone," returned All
son "Roger must not leave you, papa."
But he repeated in the same curt way:
"Take your sister away, Roger, and bo
back as soon as you can." And Roger,
who understood his father, ' hurried her
across the yard and the gnrden, and did
not leave her until she was in the warm,
brightly lighted study,
"Take off your wet jacket, Allie," ho
charged her, as he left her; but there was
no time to say more.
Alison obeyed him. She took ofT her
dripping lint also; and then she sat down
on the rug and lnil her head against her
father's chair, and a flood of tears re
lieved her overwrought nerves. Roger
found her still in the same position when
ho came in half an hour later; but the
tears were flowing more quietly. In his
boyish exuberance he lifted her up ns
though she were n child.
"Here she is, father, crying her pretty
eyes out ! And no wonder, when she is so
cold and tired. Allie, do you know you
are a perfect heroine! You have douu a
plucky thing, and no mistake!"
"Come and kiss mo, Alison, my dear!"
said Mr. Merle, "You are a brave glrl,(
and have saved your poor lathers credit.
Roger and you have done nobly to-night.
I have let myself be duped' by a dishon
est rogue. Give me your hand, boy; it
does not become a man to ask his own
Bon to forgive him, but I think we shall
understand each other better from this
day." ,
