There were shouts and curses, and

guage, to collect himself from the
pavement.
This edifying incident, which was
explained to me solely by sound, had
scarcely come to an end when a noise
of creaking boards drew my eyes to

the evidence of my eyes.
Well" said the policeman, with a
sigh of relief, there's nothir . here.
/ suspected that his doubts of my
sanity were returning.
Here is where it was DONE" / as
serted stoutly, pointing to the spot
where l had seen the struggling group
from the window. There were surely
five or six men in it,
Its hard to make sure of things
from above in this light" said the
policeman, limiting once more his sus-
picion that l was confusing dreams
with reality.
There was no mistaking that job"
/ said. See here, the alley leads
farther back. Bring your light"
A few PAGES farther the alley turned
at right angle to the north. We
looked narrowly for a body, and then
for traces that might give hint of the
passage of a party.
Nothing here" said the policeman,
as we came out on the other street.
Maybe they've carried him into one
they whisked him into a hack here,
and are mile or two away by now"
But we must follow them. He may
be only wounded anu can be rescued.
And these men can be caught"
was almost hysterical in my eager
ness.
"Aisy, aisy, now" said the police
man. Go back to your room, now.
That's the safest place for you, sssd
you can't do nothin' at all out here.
III report the case to the head office,
an we'll send out the alarm to the
force. Now, here's your door Just
rest aisy, and they'll let you know if
anything's found"
And he passed on, leaving me dazed
with dread and despair in the en-
trance of the fateful house.

Then, in the hope that | might find
something among Henry's effects to
give me a clue to the men who had
attacked him, l went carefully
through his clothes and papers. But
| found that he did not leave memo
randa of his business lying about.
The only scrap that could have pos

crosses marked here and there upon
