twist around my body, 40 II I had been
q bobbin on which 1t was wound up by
whrlfng machinery. Something soft,
unlimited yards Of it, was thrust into
my mouth, and presently I was lower
ed gently to the floor. Then the domi-
mating sense in my waning conscious
ness was amazement that In the dim
light from the window saw only two
figures Of men. 1 could have made
oath that there must be a dozen.
The game was up SO far as I was
concerned. Let me therefore now shift
the scene to the other side Of the door,
which had been closed the instant that
I entered. a.
So quietly had been disposed of
that Powell had received. no hint of
any misadventure. He was surprised
to find the door shut. He shook it by
the knob and called my name in vain.
It will be admitted that my friend
had reasonable cause to think that he
had met with something unusual in the
way of an experience. Billy Abbott
had disappeared and left no trace. and
now I had vanished in manner even
more remarkable. Possibly man of
a highly nervous temperament might
have felt some vague suspicion that his
own turn was next and that the safety
Of the open street was preferable to his
present position. No such notion, how.
ever, was possible to Jack Powell. He
drew back his foot and kicked the
locked door so hard that felt the floor
tremble under me, and while he pre-
pared for another assault the door slow
~ and silently opened.
From Powells position he looked
straight across to the broad, family
shining window. Not human form
was visible; not a sound disturbed the
quiet Of that room, which seemed de-
tached and hushed amid the noises of
the city. 1t seemed that Invisible deni-

also to rush out IL he should raise hie
voice In an alarm, and 40 he weighed
the chances in that brief pause his eye
was attracted by a~shining object on
the wall beside the window. It was an
old cutlass, apart Of Billy's haphazard
decorations. : x Z. I: !: !.
The next instant Powell was clear
across the room. The two men spranR
out. They rushed against each other
and nearly fell, but they were no nov
ices in brigandage, and within a frac-
don of a second they had recovered
themselves But meanwhile Powell had
got the sword, and he must have looked
desperately formidable, his tall and
heavy form outlined against the win
dow.
The man nearest me uttered some
thing between an oath and 9, groan.
and L saw him draw a revolver. Then
was as happily inspired as ever in my
life. Trussed up as L was and prone
upon my back. I still had some use of
my legs, and with all my force kicked
that mans feet from under him. The
result was indescribably perfect. The
man turned completely upside down
and struck upon his head beside me, I
rolled across his body, but he made no
movement. He lay limp beneath me.
At the same instant Powelps mighty
arm swung the old cutlass, and If. the
weapon had not turned little in his
hand l think he would have cut his op-
ponent lengthwlse into two pieces.
Half minute later my mouth was
free Of the gag, and my agonized lungs
received the vital air: The lights were
turned up, and we examined our two
prisoners. The victim Of my prowess
was already reviving and must be &C.
cured with the rope taken from my
own limbs, but the man whom Powell
had struck down needed no such at
