She wan frightened at her own dirlng,

the ohm wfe wa conclusive, and so
were the note and gold that he wai Mow

"Itoger. oh. bow dreadful It all Ul Of

There 1 not a shadow of doubt In ray

evidence Is strong against Kerguswn. to
my thinking. Judge for yourself, Allle;
he was with me in the office when I open

In the ledger, as well a write the receipt;
he alvj must have ccn me thrust the
check hastily Into the private drawer be
fore I ran out Into the jard. No doubt
lie returned to theVffice as soon as my at

A few minutes was alt that was needed to

inai nis creditors are threatening him. I
told you things are coming to a crash. I

we received from .Slmmomls Hrothers."
"Oh. Koger, how blind your father Is!
What are you to do to open bis eyes?"
"I am going to watch Kergusson." re
turned Itoger, with a frown of anxiety.
"Allle, I never meant to have told you
this. I have been about the town glean

to myself for the next four-and-twenty
hours. IVrgusson has arrived at some
sort of crisis In his affairs. I am afraid
he will do something lesrate. A him

after banking hours. In no and gold. I
wanted my father to bring It up to the

"Hut not alone, dear?"
"Ys. of course. Tlmotby will be there.
If I neJ belp; but I don't mean to take

"Itoger!" exclaimed AlUon, In a qulek,
determined voice, "you shall not ca aUn
I shall wateb with jou." And as lie was
about to Interrupt her she went on quiet
ly. "You know Mlssle and Miss I-li will
be out until half past ten. l'apa Is always

I ran lock my door and put the key In my

as a witnews. You must take me, Uogr."
"Are jou sure that )ou uwau it that

"What should hurt me on a uiiinier's

It was still early In the evening when
tho joung conspirator returned to the
house, and the 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 browu hat she had discarded as
being too sbabby would just suit her noc
turnal purpose ; her drvun was dark, and
u warm jacket was all she needed, and,
carefully turning down her fas and lock
returned AlUon. H11U --
. ... . . - " nn-
eieaoiiy. ihii at that moment site was cer
tainly wishing bet.f and Itoger safely
at home. Heger's caution was not in
vain: a si4den Hare of light penetrated
the entrance of the wood pile: tbev ew.1,1
see two men ; but at the moment the bin
tern was lowered a mr Timothy's face was
turned to hi companion.
"A wet nisot. a.ier." be said. In a
grumbling voice. F jnst w ,m ny l,l,
and then lack to the sbel again."
"All right. Timothy." rHurmsl the man
ager, bri-klr. "I muet just bunt for the
paper 1 row you a boot. I'.wlbly may
be a quart, r of an hour In the oftlce:
but I will call out to you when I am
reauy lor you to let me out of the yard."
"Ay, ay, I will let jou out, sure enough.
Master Fergmwon. If so be as ymi strike
HwM the little wimlow In the shed." And
the okl man moved on slowly,
"Kon't move. Allle; I'll Ik- lack In a
moment." whispered Itoger In her ear.
And Alison remained where she was,
feeling the lUiapness all around her, an
unpleaaiit moisture beginning to trickle
ilown her nsek The rain was pouring
in torrents outside: ha verr vlUn
promised short duration. Fresently Itoger
crept laek to her.
"It Is just ns I said." lie began, hur
riedly, "He Is unlocking tho safe; he
lias n 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 bare you here? You
are iierfectly safe no one would harm
you. Hut one of us must watch Fergus
son: which shall It be?"
"You must go, Itoger." she exelalmed.
"You will go more quickly, and will know
how to avoid Timothy."
"Very well, keep up your courage. Al
lle, and do not lose sight of the vllliln,"
he returned. "I will bring father laek
in 110 time. Wait where jou are until
Timothy has as again."
Alison's reply was Inaudible, but her
mute assent testified olxsllenre. That
moment she was literally beyond jechi
the horrid darkness seemed to swallow her
up again; a nerious oppression made hsr
heart beat with distressing quickness. It
was quite a relief when Timothy jiassnl
again; the familiar figure In Ihe heavy
watchman's coat gave her a comforting
sense o. human support.
Khe stole cautiously acrosx the opm
path, and In another moment she was
standing outside Hie office window. There
wuro two windows, for this one was
neceiwarlly darkened by the woodpile, but
over the other the blind had been lowered
to shut out prying glances, Alison sup
posed, as Itoger bad, that ho had locked
