^ Somehow, to Victoria standing there i
pMUliDg a'"' **iMiRhig ill .the phouc wall
ing ' Tor her sister's Viutfy |t> answer
aguin, I. ike one of things we (
think' could happen to us.
Thcv h;ul tuushed dinner as usual,
i.iu) Whoa had inlil hei he wns wait
lug f*?r [lie tjHegram that would settle
\\ii< ili.r !,.? should go \V'4nM I tut I night
or Uot. Aim! In- had told Jut that,
pending the message, In* had (<? bring
all that money home in his brief rait".
And afterward*. he had gotten some
papers oit of till' cuMe u L tilt* living?
room tattle, aUd then had leaned the
case, with jilt that money, against Us
leg on the Moor, while he ?looked over
tin* evening paper.
And she had gone to the alco\e baek
of the. portieres to ciill l.outsc apd
.see ir she Could tioMe and st. j with
her while N?*lson, was gone. If be hud
to Alid III** line 1 1 h 1 1 been bitty,
and w hile she walii'd to try again, Nel
son had called out to !.???? from hack of
his paper:
"Jiand.il s again! **>' ti?'??rge, and
near here. .The t *auseland's this
time. About $o,t)00' worth <?f loot, too."
Aiitl then Victoria had ti'led t<? get
l>Oulse again. And Just its Louise an
swered, i lie doorbell had rung. Vic
toria remembered how, as hhe hud
chatrered with houtae, Kite had peered
around the portiere and seen Nelson
si it; filing to the door in his hoise slip
per*.
"1 guess 1 not my wl*h. I suppose
If *? t lie telegriim," he was saving. And
she had cried out with a sudden pre
muniiicn :
"Well, find out Jirst, before you o|ieu
the door."
So Nelson h?d galled out "Who is
It," and a young voice Had answered
"h message for you." And, reassured,' '
Nelson intent on his business, had
opened I he door wide. And there
the bandits ?
The bandits had le\eled revolvers
at Nelson. They hacked him, swear
ing softly, toward the table, his arms
up. And there in the brief rase in
the shadow down on the floor by the
table, was all that mone.v that didn't
belpng te Nelson !
The bandits hadn't seen Victoria y At.
They didn't know she was there, and
Nelson was evidently not wanting1
them to. Kut , Victoria remembered
bow, shivering with terror, she had
suddenly come to her senses, had sud
denly realized that temporarily she
held the whip band if she died for It,
that she could defeat the robbers.
She remembered how her Voice, calm
and collected,, had suddenly seemed to
boom out In the surcharged silence
of the room.
"l.oulse! Call the police! We're
being ? held up !" tfhe srid s-ljarply.
The next fuMant ihe ^portiere was
down and the phone snatched from
her ami she w;is stuttering across the
room in the direction she bad been
hurled. The bandit , rjjt. 'he recflver
buck on the hook 'wv0softl}'. The
money in 'tile brief ease, the money
! that didn't belong to Nelson, fhey had
not found yet. but she knew it wa*
only a question of time. Hut one of
j them went close to the table for some
thing and his toe hit the case. He
1 Stooped to see what It was and sbarf*
ly Victoria's \oice spoke out again in
a sort qt desperate calm:
"That wor not a fake call. I? warn
you the ? the station Is- -only a few
block away. I was talking to ? the
wife of the chief ? " whieh happened
to be true.
And 'Just t lien the pop-popping ??f
a motorcycle came in through the open
door, faint but approaching, and sud
denly dropping everything. ?he bandits
ran. And Jn running, the on* by the
table stumbled over the brief case
and klck.ed at It viciously and went It,
scattering all that money arrow the
room. He saw It and stopped. HIh
eyes gleamed, hut finally he fled after
lie other* through the hark door as
the motorcycle stopped at the front.
And after all, It wasn't the police!
It whs the telegram ; The telegram
that had miraculously t <?! ?l Nelson he
didn't have to jro that night. And
,herit they were, miraculously safe.
;Wjl^ |lUU or .no loss. And there was
Nelson now, out in the middle <<( the
street, telling the neighbors and look i
ing fii r the police who would surely
be coming, iind here she wax shivering
with reaction and calling Louise
again.
"Oh, m.v dear, what on earth would
we ha\e done if I? I hadn't been talk
ing to you,*' she half-sobbed hysterical
ly, when Louise had rtrtiie to the
phone. "How < an I ever thank you ? -
I Mil you call I he police right away?
Are they coining- "
"The police!" Louise's voice wa? j
shrill with rimazement.
"Didn't you didn't \?'U--call
them--"
"Call them- what for?"
"Why ? I ? I fold > ??u to call them ? I
? I told Vim we were being held up? ?"
"Held up!" liouiwe's vniir was t
shriller with terror. "I didn't call any
police. I'm coming right Why.
Just before you ? you hung up. I 1
heard you say *<*?met hint' t>nt I ? I
didn't at all know what ? "
