to be a good man. He is obeying one
verse of the Scripture, which says:
-Owe no man anything and if he
keeps up with the other verses it will
be said to him at last: well done, thou

OF the key. So down I dropped "a f8el
for It all about the floor near the doos
but to feel in vain. "
1 was locked up IN the dark with 4
nameless creature, sinister and powef-
full, from whom there was no flight.
foe the dark room had but one exit
the door. There was no window nor
any hole. save the small ventilation
traps, through which not even 50 much
as a hand might be thrust
While there was any hope BY the way
Of the door, I had not been more than
commonly fesrsome, but now my fright
was more thsn mere alarm. It was a
steady o OF
terror that makes the scalp feel priekly
and the breath come hard. 1t was chill,
palpitating fear Of the kind that makes
you turn sick and sets your shoulders
twitching. And the chief Of it was
a pallid dread of something n~nspeaka-
bly, uneouth and loathsome-actual
contactwith the thing in the dark room.
I believe I could have borne q stroke
from any weapon it might have in hand
better than a touch or close meeting
with the body Of the repulsive crea-
ture.
sscmie5 iuto the corner nearesttAe
door and waited With strained ear.
Presently 1 heard a low shutting, and
then a patting along the wall, and 9
scraping along the floor. He of the
black hand was feeling for me; of that
I was certain. My ear is good, and,
Judging the location of the patting and
~scraping, as well as of another sound
like the dragging Of some small, soft
body upon the floor, I moved without
noise around the edge, away from my
pursuer. Though shaken and fevered
1 kept out of that dread clutch.
1t was nerve-straining work and the
tension was something frightful. but
kept it up until 1 fell over a box and
