W'c went nut Into tho dark hall, close

I went back to secure mv captive I

had sent him Into a funk, .1 craven fcl

soon suffering an ngonv that was real

I did not anticipate that there would be
much fight left In him It would be
quite easy to use tho rope and twist It
round his arm and legs and put him
through a leisurely cross-examination
So I removed the chain and opened tho

I was surprised at the amount of
pressure put upon It from the other side

sound of feet descending a stair while
remaining to pounce on me the moment
I was Incautious enough to .ppeu the

pressure. It was the weight of the man
I had caught, and his weight Jerked the
door from my hand, He fell headlong
into the hall
His throat was.cut from ear to ear.
