The window â€" that winâ€" cdow alone of all those in the apartâ€" ment â€" was not latched. She re membered leaving it open that way «â€"â€" about an inch â€"â€" so that she could open it if she came down the fire escape. Suddenly she wanted to scream. She imagined sbe could see that hand now, reaching to the switch on her wall; once more she felt the strangling fingers on her throat ... Why. that man would dare anyâ€" thing! He was a flend, diabolical and cunning, and he did not fear a dozen Sergeant Dolans. If he sus pected that she knew something. he would not hesitate now . . .

Fifteen minutes at the latest, until there would be a policeman on guard upstairs and a policowoman down for company. She would cerâ€" tainly breathe easier when they ar rived. She watched the banjo clock on the wall, listoned to it tick away the seconds. She wondered which echoed the loudest through the room â€" the sharp, staccato ticking of the clock, or the dull, thundering beat of her own heart. TEX MINUTES Left alone, Cilly shuddered. She was not nearly as brave as she had pretended to the sergeant. Sho sat there on the divan, where he had left her, straining her eyes to try and watch every nook and corner of the apartment at once. From where she sat, she could see into the bedroom next door; she cou‘:d watch the fire escape window. If but a shadow crossed that window, she told herself, sho would scream loud enough to wake the dead . . .

Johnson will bhear you. I‘ve asked him to keep a watch on the downstairs. We don‘t want anyâ€" one tampering with the ligits. or hiding in the engine room . . . 1N Dolan stood up and began to slip himself into his enormous raincoat. "Within 10 minutes," he assured her, "there‘ll be a man from headâ€" quarters to spend the night in Mrs. Elliot‘s apartment, just in case our friend does come back. In the meanâ€" time, you‘re not to open your door to anyone, understand that? Not to a soul!l You don‘t know who this Dolan nodded. "You‘re right about that . . . we‘re going back for a more thorough search. 1 just wanted to be sure you were all right first." "I‘m fine now, thanks 1 don‘t choke so easily." "I‘m sure the secret to the wholo affair is in that apartment upâ€" stairs," she finished,.

Su08g iat ay . 1at he Three short rings she had beard distinetly, and the one person in all the world who rang a bell with the three short rings was Jim Kerriâ€" gan. Instantly, Cilly ran to the foyer and pressed the buzzer. She presâ€" sed it eagerly, joyously, a new courâ€" age in her eyes transcending every vestige of the previous moment‘s For the «third time it sounded, but this time it was not one long, imperious ring. Three short rings sounded this time, three short, and friendly rings. She stood there, afraid to open the door, and equally afratd not to open it. The bell rang again, loud and demanding. Still she hesitated. Halfway across the room, she stopped. Sergeant Dolan‘s words rang in her ears: "No matter who rings your bell, you‘re not to open the door!" Then, in the next instant, the room spun around to the insistent, intense ringing of the front doorâ€" bell. In sheer relief, Cilly ran to press the lockâ€"release buzzer in the foyer, Anything was better than the terrifying uncertainty of the empty apartment ... lock it. But her feet would not car ry her into that other room. _ She was shaking like a leaf; she could imagine a thousand demons at her back if she but stepped out of the living room.

It must have the texture of thick cream,. Next add the sugar very graduvally, two tablespcons at a time, creaming very thoroughly after each addition, beating until whole mixture is very light. The second step is the beating of the exgs. For light cakes, the yolks and whites should always be separated. Do not beat the whites until ready to add them to the cake mixture; better still, if you have assistance, have them beaten ready just as you have completed the other steps of making the cake. Beat egz yolks until very creamy and thick and lemon colored, adding them to the thoroughly beaten butter and sugar. The flour and liquid are added alternately. Add the flour first; if the liquid first, the mixâ€" ture is apt to curdle. The last mix. ture should also be the flour, Lastâ€" ly, fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites, being careful they are not beaten too dry, if you wish your eake as moist as possible.
