When the owner us the tuUlinery enq.orlutu wus no longer in sight Eva |.io"(e.icd uLuut the business entrusted to lier. she nad locked the cellar door, made fast the dusty, barred rear windows, uml hud gone into the llttie dressing loom to secure a wtudow which had l,< mi raised when her glume was eiui.ht by Miss Grace's black pocket Iba, with nuthe curiosity, instantly opened it. There were a few odd bits us change inside. Then her prying tii.gers brought furth a diamond cluster riny us uu mean proportions. 1 .a qulcaly slipped the ring into 1 er p... l.et, tossed the open pocketbook to the dour under the window, and left the room. Stie decided that she would walk I about in the park before returning to ; her stuffy room. She wus halfway across the bridge when nil her senses were arrested by the sound of a pistol shot behind 1 er, mid the noise of shouting. She 1 fell suddenly certain that her theft had been discovered. And this cun ylctiiAi was forttied when she heard footsteps shaking the bridge, and saw ill the dusk the form of a man run . niug toward her. With the first instinctive message of her brain, she look to Hight. She ran lightly over the remaining stretch of lirldge and took her course through ' the park on the other side. Without , stopping fur breath she darted through a Stubbly corn field, climbed a stone Avail and run on down the lane In , which she found herself. She puused. gasping for breath, and i was paralyzed to hear the sound of ’ footsteps still pursuing her. She lieui'd aguin the sharp cruek us n shot, and down In the woods a voice, carrying distinctly, yelled "Stop thief!’ I-’ar up the lune ahead of her there sud.'h:.!;.' appeared two bright eyes, vutoiudtdle lamps, bobbing up and down us the cur came rattling over the rutty lune towurd tier. Mud with fear now, Eva fell over the wall Uli the further side of the lune and run down the hill under the apple boughs of Jed Furrier's orchard. Beyond wus a tangle of woods. In the edge of the thicket she crouched, waiting. The shouts wer • coming nearer. She thought she heard the cruck of u twig near her, and started. Then she gave u little scremu. for she saw not twenty feet uway a dark form also crouching among the bushes. It was a youngish man with a cap pulled over Ids brow. He saw her at the same time and swore. After a moment in which they both listened silently, he crept toward her. "AVhat were you running fur?” be questioned when he reached her side. "It’s me they're after." "Y-you!” Her teeth were chattering. "I th-thought it was me ’cause I’d took Miss Graces ring." , "Tough luck that you ran this way. 1 I think they’ve got us." He again listened intently. "I’ve been making n few hauls around these jiarts and tonight I cleaned up some old girls ut u sort of party; reached through the window Into the room where they’d left their wraps," he explained. . "There’ll be a nice reward for the bird that gets me, expect. No way out below here, Is there?” She shook her head. “OF smokehouse In the woods—then Mill creek." i He squatted beside her In intense consideration. Suddenly he thrust his face cluse to hers. "Listen, kid,” be whispered. “I don't want to see you get pinched with that ring on you. Slip It to me.quick and I'll go down and hide In the smokehouse. Then you go out and tell ’em where I am, and you’ll get the reward. , Pretend you followed me? Get me?" I She nodded and with trembling haste thrust the ring into his hand. He took time to glance at it before he dropped it Into his coat pocket. "Bye!" He was off, scarcely making a rustle In the underbrush. With returning assurance she strolled up the hill toward the pursuers, who were now beating the r way through the orchard. Their searchlights, flashed upon her, brought forth masculine exclamations. “Sh’ He’s down in Jed Furrier's smokehouse,” she said composedly. I "i was walkin’ in the park when he ' come runnin’ toward me and scart me so 1 run this way an' hid In the bushes. Happened he come the same way an' 1 seen him go down there.” She seated tierself In the con stuble's automobile to wait. How good that young man had been to save her from being caught! . . . and she would c'ertalnly get a reward—perhaps fifty dollars. The constable and his men returned, out of temper, aroused her. "Where’s the thief?" she shrilled ut them. "Gone!” retorted .the foremost. "Wasn’t there. Got away over that log across the crick. He's a slick one. I’d a give fifty dollars to eat<} ,i ' him."
