1t was nine o'clock according to the clock in the

suddenly through a gap

a terraced alley. The

caves of the great building that on his other
hand, the darkness lay in pools of impenetrable
shadow, so that he stumbled and CROPPED his way

Suddenly his guide stopped and grasped his arm.
''That is the window" he whispered.
Not pane in the long front gave light, but
Horniman's eyes, now growing more sensitive in
the darkness. could distinguish the projecting cage
to which his companion pointed. 1t was, as he
reckoned some fifteen feet above his head.
With a silent activity Rutherford dropped the
cloak he after the Spanish fashion and
wound the ladder from his body Removing the
rod from its he joined it together attached the
hook of the ladder by twist of wire to the upper
end, and after one or two ineffective attempts
caught it in the projecting cage. swift tug broke

swinging, the rod packed back into the case,
which then dropped at the foot of the wall.

they rested on the jut of the bars and by holding
to the uprights he could maintain himself in
great discomfort. The ladder below creaked and
doomed up beside him.
Horniman peering through the bars into the
obscurity within became aware that the plate glass
of a modern sash window confronted him. There
was no sign of the anxious beautiful face that he
expected.
THE window is shut!' he said uneasily.
The stout swung the bars, staring and
granting like angry gorilla.
