safe and properly locked up. This duty at-
tendrd to. I went to my bedroom. intending
to pasa the time in reading till my husband
should return.

It was a large room on the ground floor.
with two French windows opening on a
broad veranda. The windows were draped
with long yellow silk curtains. between
which the moonlight faintly cuter-ethtllmucd
by the shadows of the roof of the plant.
and partly intercepted by the fringes of
woodbine which hung from it. My bed
stood with its head about hclf a yard from
the wall. It wad an old fashioned alruc
tumbling with yellow silk like the With
dons. but I slcpt with the lleltgluus dutwu
buck untl fastened to the hentlbcard. The
bed was so large that no one ever thought
of moving inexcepl in thiNQ seasonal or

when suddenly I suw in the mirror a right

appeared between the curttllns. druwlllg
