CHAPTER ".

The sun was shining through the blinds
when Hardwood awoke. He lay quite still
examining his new surroundings, trying to
remember where he was. The bandage on
his head had stiffened. He united it, and
was gratified to discover that no serious
damage had been accomplished by Mon
Oncle.
AS he lay there, winking amiably in the
sunlight, he heard somebody tramping
about in the next room. Without moving
he opened his mouth and called:

For example, they LAY DOWN on the dis

in a given space of time is simply prodig-

him in a very embarrassing predicamept
until the officer who has incurred their
