A blinding flash of lightning
crackled through the room fol-
lowed almost simultaneously by a
deafening clash of thunder. Then
from outside came another ter-
nllc tearing noise. Everyone
rushed to the window. Just as the
great twln-'oppcd pine tree
swayed violently once or twice
then toppled to the ground with n
roar like a titanic shriek of de-
spair. For a stunned second no one
moved or spoke.
Then a voice broke In from the
doorway. "There! I saw him
coming In the library window!"
Hob Steele swayed weakly and
ri inched the door for support.
"Hob!" Pat ran to his side and
eased him into a chair.
Dan Dallas did not wait but
snatched his gun from his pocket
und run along the hall and throw
open the library door. The rest
followed. The room was empty.

lotting In u blast of wind-driven
rain which had created havoc In
the usunllv immaculate room.QUSIE gave one look at the place
then collapsed Into the nonrost
chair "Oh what would Lyman
say if he could see it now!" she
s-obbed "His own room that he
loved. And I promised always to
keep it as it was."
Dan hnd succeeded in getting
the window closed. Now he and
Pat rushed Into the hall to search
for the intruder Claire walked
ovjr to Susie and laid a firm hand
on hor shoulder.
"Susie toll mo. why did Uncle
Lyman want this room kept so?
He must have known that some-
time it would be changed."
"He said If it was and I dis
obeyed him. he'd find a way to
punish mo That's why he always
loft me home."
"But why shouldn't he leuve you
home Susie?" Claire's grip on
the woman's shoulder tightened.
For a minute Susie did not an-
swer Then oho suddenly broke
down. "I war. his wife his com-

For real stocking satisfaction you want to .bin

various makes. Especially now that we're ail wearing
the sheerer grades and hoping they'll wear like ser i

vour subject before you shop.
