Suddenly she stopped. She prelecd her ear age-inst the eurlaceOeesar emitted s low ' zrcwl and crowd closer to her. Her heart gave a little bound. She strained her nerves to catch the faint sound which fold her the search was drawing close. Little by little they grew more audi- ble. There were movements on the stairs outside. She could hear voices. People were passing down the hall-

Her heart beat tusnuituously with hope and anxiety. Would they find her? if her tension had been communicated to Caesar he stopped his intermittent growls and pressed still closer. She stood in an lion? of suspense. Her hopes began to iot- ger. The footsteps and voices were moving away. ‘

A shout trembled on her libs. but in an instant, before she could make an audible sound, the beast was upon her, his paws clawing at her breast and jaws worrying at her throat. The shout died in a feeble groan of horror.

Her hopes ebbed quickly with the dwindling footfalls. She could hear no sound now. The silence told her with stlrlglng emphasis that the chance o! rwcue was gone. No one would find her now. She tried breve- ly. but it was hard to shake 0E a sense of chill despondenoy, and Cae- sar's neqrness kept her in a constant state of dread.

As she stood leaning deiecibdl! against the wall a sharp quiver ran through her. Bho soared inio the darkness toward the opposite wall. She stood rigid, scarcely breathing. A startled movement on Caesar's pert told her that he also had heard something. The slight sound was followed by an interval of nerve- tearing stillness. Hot and cold pulsa- tions shot through her body. Then a little iar came, a squeak like that o! an unolled hinge, and then there ap- peared in be a pause, a period oi un- easy waiting. A whisper floated out of the stillness:

“Caesal-l"

A rasplng breath on the silence. and then Caesar appeared w be all attention. Again a mulled voice trailed through the darkness. ~

“Good boy, Caesar! Dome hotel“

A scraping of paws, e. short, low, irlendly bark signified tun. thedog recognized the voice.

"Come here, old fellowl" ,

she listened in ecuis bewilderment. A fresh hope had sprung up within her when she first heard the furtive sound at the other side oi the room: Now, as she heard Caesar bounding lightly inward the speaker, the hope began lo waver. The voice to addness the dog in an undertone. and Caesar responded with s series of low, friendly growls. Consequently the newcomer must be either a. mem- ber of the ‘ousehold or a frequent visitor. Otherwise Caesar would not have lbsponded so readily. In either case, she feared the person st the other side of the room had not come with friendly intentions,

Again she started sharply. she heard her name spoken in a hushed voice. Asionlshment and a conﬂict of nope and dread filled her anew. It the new were a member of the household or a. friend of Dr. Moffett, why did he approach her with such stealth, as i! he did not
