She twisted the paper, looked around me room vainly for string, aod Anally tore a thin piece of ribbon from her bosom. Sbe tied the mes aage round the ball, set her teeth and threw It at the empty akylight. The flret time she waa not successful and tbe ball came back. The second time It passed through the center of the opening. She heard It strike the sound portion of the glass outside, heard It rumble down the roof. A few seconds of breathless silence! Her heart almost stopped beating. Had It rested in some ledge or fallen Into the street t-low? Then she heard the boy's

voice:

“Gee! Hero's tho ball come back again!” A new light shone Into the room. She rocraed to be breathing a different atmosphere—tho atmosphere of hope. She listened no longer with horror for a creaking upon the stairs, walked backwards and forwards until she was exhausted. . . . Curioualy enough. when the end came she asleep, crouched upon the bed and dreaming wildly. She sprang up to find Inspector French, with a policeman behind him. standing upon tbe threshold. "Inspector!” she cried, rushing towards him. “Mr. French! Oh. thank
