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

mean, I'd been In the house quite
long time, more than twenty min
utes, before I went to the bath
room." "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

find me! And that he was going to
to kill me!"
"Good Lord! You poir child! No
wonder you wero frightened." Hii
voice was very tender.
"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."
