Hut when her la ther did not arrive, she teas ter ntil Inijhlened bv a hairless man and was rescued bv Westurn and his bull dog Oafje Yet Alison sus pects Westurn a little, although she likes him a lot. For the Initials on the dart's collar are "O. L." in stead ol 'O. W." Chapter 10 SPECULATION GUY put on speed and they went humming up the smooth rise ahead. "Mr. Westurn . . Ho did not look around and All son repeated "Mr. Westurn?" "Ob! Yes?" For a moment she could have sworn that he had lumped. "Would you mind telling me one thing?" "Anything! Go ahead?" He smiled at ber and when he smiled like that she (elt that she was silly even to doubt. "What Is It?" "Is Gaffe your own?" "Yes. Why?" He looked sur prised. "Nothing. Only I wondered why tt wasn't your name on his collar." "Oh, as a matter of fact. I've only Just bought him from friend." tmh "Mr. Westurn ! He answered slowly, was Intent now on the road ahead. "I see! I thought It rather funny when I saw It I hadn't thought of that." Alison con.esBed. "You thought 1 might be spinning you a yarn?" He did not look at her and he was frowning. "Yes!" He was silent, negotiating the turn Into the main road, before be said, "I suppose my story sounded rather thin?" "N-no. Only, well, a slx-mlle stroll In the rain and at midnight and turning up Inside the house like that" "You thought 1 might be little Herbert's brother?" Alison laughed. "No! I didn't sus pect you like that. But I thought you mightn't want to tell me really who you were and what you were doing there." "What do you think I was doing?" "I don't know, Quite," she admit ted. "1 thought perhaps it might really be your house." "Mine? Oood Lord, no!" He laughed. "I give you my word It Isn't. I'd never seen It In my life before." ""H, I believe you now." That was true. She didn't really doubt him. "Only It seemed such luck, your coming at the right minute like that. You know. It was luck!" She felt almost awed now, when she looked back, at the sheer chance of 1L "As you say. It was luck." There was a note In his voice that made Alison turn pink. "I've been think ing about II sll night." "About?" "My coming in llko that. You see. I wasn't certain 1 thought it was a bit rash and very nearly changed my mind." lie was speaking rather earnestly now, his eye the road, his face set. "1 looked twice at the window and wondered whether I'd chance It; and there was your light up In the bathroom." "Hut hut It you saw me get In at the window, how could you see my light?" Alison was puziled. "I 0. S. C.

"Had you? Then It wasn't you 1 saw getlng In. It must've been " "Little Herbert?" "That's about It," he agreed. "You see, all I saw waB a dark shape getting In at tbe window. So I thought I'd have a look, but your light was on and 1 hesitated a bit and then suddenly your light went out, so I thought I'd Investigate after all. And then you charged In to me, so of course I thought It was you I'd seen and well " Alison, listening to this confused statement, thought It a most lucid, clever account of the circumstances. She agreed at once. "I see. I don't know what 1 should've done If you hadn't come In." She looked at the grey road winding up under the car, thinking, "I'm glad oh, so glad he did!" and added, aloud, "I couldn't have held the door and he'd have caught me before I got out of the window." "You think he meant to catch you?" Guy asked doubtfully. I'M sure he did," said Alison sim ply. "I can't tell you why only, when ha looked througb the door, I'd a sort of feeling that be was looking tor me that he'd meant to Hi',!: Li r? 7 r-n it : 'yvaj'V. w..

"You see, he must have been out side, have seen me come in and realized that the house was empty, she explained, glad to get the haunt ing memory or her fear out In words. "If he was a tramp and looking for money he was, you know, or be wouldn't have broken In the desk, would he? well, anyway, he must have seen me pay off the car 1 took out a whole bunch of English notes and he may've thought that it'd be pretty easy. He'd only got to finish me and clear out and no oned know, would they? I mean, that It was him. He may have waited about till I was off my guard, on the chance that I'd leave my bag about and when I didn't, well" "Thank God 1 did come!" He said : that as If be meant it. "I know. 1 feet like that You see, he was running after me down the stairs but then he must have heard you. or seen you strike a tight and perhaps he got frightened. Don't you think so?" 'I expect so . . . "Anyway," ended Alison, "It was luck." "I'll say It was. Apart from any thing else, I shouldn't have met you otherwise, should I?" He smiled down at her as he spoke, giving weight to the tight words. "No. And I'm awfully grateful. "You needn't be." "I mean, for your staying on with me seeing me through." "You think I might have laid yon fainting on tbe floor, stepped over your body and returned peacefully to Warley, leaving Little Herbert to finish whatever crime he had on hand?" Alison laughed. "Well-" "It Isn't done." he assured her gravely. "It's afinlnst tbe rules of the Burglars' Union." (Copyright . 1933, Evelyn if.
