CHAPTER XVI.

The sounds of footsteps upon the
landing ceased for short time. l was
not afraid to cope with a single man,
but l naturally felt no desire to have
two or more upon me at once. Itmight
be that Skinner had returned. Inerved
myself for supreme effort against
odds, and waited for the alarm which
would sound the note of warning to
the colleague i'll the walled-up cellar.
To my surprise no alarm was given.
The footsteps again began to move
slowly forward. To lie in wait for the
newcomer ut the foot of the stairs, trip
him up, AMI SO make my escape, was my
first impulse.
Twas about to station myself in posi-
ton to carry out this plan when band
of light streamed down and made a
round, yellow patch on the stones be-
low.
Thus being prevented from follow
ing my plan, hastily but silently with
drew behind the stairs, and, crouching
down, breathlessly waited.
Slowly and deliberately the unknown
came down. When he reached the bot
tom step he paused. Then the beam of
light from the dark-lantern was thrown
upon the plank. and moved from side to
side as if in investigation.
The secret OF the plank was EVIDENT

back few steps. So sudden had been
the change in Skinner from the de-
fensive to the aggressive that for a
moment 1 forgot about my pistol. When
did think of it and got through
fumbling in my pocket, the rascal had
fled around the side Of the house,

single-handed, against ! knew not what

Gliding noise1essly to the cellar-way,
paused and listened. Tombliks
silence was about me.
With the utmost caution, lest the old
stairway should creak under my weight,
1 descended. The instant my head
came below the level of the floor, faint
streak of light in the opposite wall
struck my eye. The painted door was
aiar.
Eagerly I continued downward un-
til came to the last step. Would the
voice sound again, and thereby give the
alarm? How could avoid it?
Thought flies quickly when the mind
is keyed up by excitement. l remem-
bered how on former occasions the
plank at the bottom had given way be-
meath my weight, and how the voice had
sounded Immediately after. Was there
some connection between the two?
Could avoid the voice by avoiding the
plank?

the stairs. To my intense satisfaction,
the silence remained unbroken.
After waiting few minutes, 1 was
about to cross to the door, when from the
room above came sound which set my
heart wildly beating-the sound OF
footsteps moving cautiously across the
floor toward the stairway.
All seemed clear TO me then. A trap
had been laid for me and was caught
in it.
