The agent. however, begged the privi-
Iege of leaving one of his machines with US

The request was not unreasonable, so we
granted it-but more to ohlige the agent

They were in total darkness; what
light there was came from the dormer
windows and the broken skylight.
They waited some time in silence, re-

Presently they heard light tread on

This was broken by the quick patter

II was the imp, who had constituted
himself a skirmisher on the outside, at

In a moment more a scratching was
