As ElspetTi flitted, ghost-llke, through the dark corridor a clock somewhere struck three. Only two hours and • half since she had left her room and started out upon the explor ing expedition which had come so near to ending In tragedy! The girl could scarcely believe that the clock told tha truth, for It seemed that she had lived through days and nights of horror since then. "Perhaps when the light comes I shall see that my hair hat turned gray and shuddered as In spit again the marble features, the sn hulr of an unknown dead woman In dark. it was so black In this corridor now that Elspcth could not make out the doors on either side, but sbe stretched out her hand to touch the first one as she passed. It wns open, and so wan the next. All down the passage It wns the same. The doors of the three large rooms on either side were ajar, and It wus certain that those who had occu pied those rooms had been driven out of their quarters by the lire. Where, then, were Mr. Kenrlth and Captain Oxford? Upon finding them before It was too late the success of Elspeth’s plan dopended. Once In the great hall, far from tljo scene of disaster, tho girl began to feel sense of security after deadly peril. Bho was weak and spent after all she hnd endured, and all that was physical In her longed for rest. Who yearned to escape to her own room, lock the door, fling herself down on the bed, and rest there safely till morning, thanking Hoaren for rescuing her from terrible fate. But she had work to do still, and In spirit she was ready, though her body shrunk from further ordeals. There was very little smell of burn ing In tho great hall, and ono or two Jets of gas, turned low. faintly Illu mined tha place.

In what part of the house are you living, miss. It I might make bold to ask?" , "Tho west wing," Elspeth answered mechanically, all her hopes dashed.by what she had Just heard. Her plan had been to And J. hn Kenrlth, take him Into her confidence, and ask for hit advice and help. But he was In the one room of the house where It seemed that It would be Impossible for her to get at him and still catty out the plan she had proposed to herself. Besides, It seemed ominous to her that Mr. Kenrlth and Captain Oxford should ba In a room offered to them by Trowbridge. She did not believe that such an offer would have bean made except for a reason of which she trembled to think. Her brain w orked rapidly. She asked herself what she could do, and reajlzed that. If anything at all were to be done It must be done quickly. She took from her pocket the purse which held all she had In the world—a very modest sum. "This Is for the trouble I have made you,” she said, giving the man half a crown, "and”—holding tip half a sov ereign—“this will be for you If you can get a message, which I will give you. to Mr. Kenrlth, without anyone else guesBlng from whom It comes.

You can depend on me. Shall I leave the light turned up?" "Nn, thank you," said Elspeth hastily. "I'd rather sit In the dark.” Her brain had acted quickly, and she had told herself that. In caae her plans went wrong, It would be well for her not to be seen In the hall by any other eyes than those of Mr. Kenrlth. Upstairs, Trowbridge tvas lingering In his own sitting room, chatting with the two men to whom he had lent It. He excused himself for remaining by saying that every one In the house was far too excited to sleep. They talkod over various famous flres, and at last Trowbridge said: "Now when you two fellows have lmd a parting drink with me I'll sny good night and go off to my own bed. By Jove. I nevor thought these quarters could have been made to look so comfortable. That cot and the big sofn are quite Inviting. I only hope, Mr. Kenrlth, that the pain of your burns won't keep you awake." Kenrlth smiled. “If It does, I shan't lose many hours' sleep. It’s nearly 3." "By Jove, I've kept you up too long.' exclaimed Trowbridge. "It's time for whisky and good-night.' He went to a small table, where stood a Tantalus, a couple of syphons and some glasses. "Don't trouble, thank you, as far at I am concern oil” said Kenrlth. 'Nor for me," said Oxford. "Oh, come. I shall be quite hurt If you don’t try some of my whisky," said Trowbridge. "It Is supposed to be rather good. Won't you drink and wish me happiness tn my engagement?" "Your engagement?” echoed Oxford looking startled. “My engagement with Lady Hilary Vane,” Trowbridge went on. "It will be announced tomorrow. You two are the llrst ones who have been told." As a matter of fact, he was lying. Hilary's letter had not been given to hint, und when she had learned this from Elspeth she had made the most of a headache and put off the evil moment by remaining In her room all day. Lady Lambert, however, had told Trowbridge that the girl’s consent was estion of a few hours; on the strength of this assurance Trowbridge had paid the sum ot 200 pounds to a certain man who had arrived during the morning, armed with a blue paper for Lady Lambart; and as a reward for what he had done, h* considered himself entitled to all the pleasure he could glean from a somewhat prema ture announcement of his engagement to Lady Hilary. Aa he spoke he poured out the whis ky which he wished hit guests to taste, and filled up the long glaasei with soda water. Neither ninn answered, and Trow bridge glanced curloualy at Captain Oxford. "Are neither of you going to congrat ulate me?” he asked. "You have surprised us both,” said Kenrlth, throwing a warning glance at Captain Oxford, who was pale to the lips. "I know Lady Hilary and her mother well, yet I heard nothing." "You must have seen what was go ing on,” laughed Trowbridge.
