to struggle loose from some power that
held him in its bonds. Was he dream

realized that he was awake, and bound

what fate he was reserved. Death in
some measure seemed certain, for he
felt that he was as helpless as new

How long he had lain there thinking,
when there came loud noise close at
hand that echoed through the apart
ment, he could form scarcely an idea.
At the sound he instinctively tried to
cry out, but no utterance could he give
forth. That he could not shrek seemed
maddening, for he knew not but that

Once more Lionel struggled to free
himself, struggled fiercely till the cords
with which he was bound cut into his
limbs. But he did not release himself,

He was not aware of it, in his numbed
condition, but his powerful struggles
had partially loosened the cords that
held him, so that his next fierce effort
would in all probability give him the
use of his limbs.
The work outside went on. 1t was

depart, and once more silence reigned.
Despair overwhelmed Lionel Cashel.
A thousand lights seemed to flash

through his frame.

He gave one last mad effort, and-his
hands were freed from the bonds that
held them. He felt that he had a new
lease of life. He sat up, and tore the
gag from his mouth.
"Thank heavenl' he cried.
Then he unbound his feet, and rose
upright. He was so stiff and sore that
he could not remain standing at first.
But presently he was able to grope his
way about the apartment. Lionel
