inches wide by twenty-one."

he undertook to rest himself by placing
his hands ON the cellar door, which, un-

directly beneath this window, about two
feet down. In this extraordinary case
the door had been carefully folded back
by parties unknown.
Boggs reached out wildly for it and
missed. His $50 pounds had started

head him off.
