he saw a fight of wood steps which
led downward into darkness. But
Miss Junk snatched up lantern on

about Aaron Norman was strange.
And he looked strange himself as he
stepped in ut the open door. Beyond,
Paul could see the shallow fight of

the passage which gave admission

door and came forward. He was as
white as Il sheet. ana his face was
thickly beaded with perspiration. His
mouth twitched more than usual, and
his hands moved ncrvOusly. Twice as
