slammed the door and set my back

The woman was for fighting, and
stood at bay like a beast, just robbed

And she went to him and shook him.

of crossing to my side.
You mustn't talk like that here" he
said with sort of hang-dog manner.

woman there. Now you"

and took out a formidabl looking chop

Here, Ivan, now will you do it?
Down with the man and leave the
wench to me. 1t will be death If we
don't do it and get away"
The remnants of his courage aWoke
when he felt the weapon in his hand,
and I heard Volna catch her breath at
the look which gradually stole into his
beady. cruel eyes, as he looked at me.
Goaded by the wOman's taunts and
the fear-thoughts which her words had
started, he took a couple Of stealthy
steps toward me, while the woman went
round the table to reach Nolna.
Just as ne was raising his weapon to
rush at me, I whipped my revolver out
and covered him.

With a cry of fear he started back

CHAPTER K.
The Hag to the Rescue.

] knew enough of the methods of the
police not to lay too much emphasis at
the outset upon the fact that they had
blundered. The police are pretty much
the same all the world over. Charge
them with laundering, and they will ex-
haust every resource to disproVe the
CHARGE and in the meantime, you who
have made it are getting badly
squeezed.
Moreover, L was not certain that it
was biunder. I hoped they were after
the yillainOus couple who lived in the
house, and that in the haste and con-
fusion Of the moment we had been mis-
taken for them. But it was quite pos
sible VOlna and I had been tracked, and
We're really the prisoners they sought
In any case it was highly dangerous
for Us to be in their hands, and we
should need to keep cool heads to get
out again, without the fact becoming
known that we were fugitives.
As 1t was, only an accident prevented
the discriminating papers from being
immediately found. Just the luck that
l had told Volna to try and burn them
and had not taken them back from her.
The search to which she was subjected
was little more than formal; but my
pockets were all overhauled, and my
papers taken out and examined.
was not so foolish as to resist; but
I began to feel pretty indignant when
papers, money, and all, were retained
by the leader
How did you get this?" he asked,
holding up the police revolver. He ap-
peared to attach great Importance 10
my possession Of it. This interested me
greatly. That I had taken it from the
police agent on the DEVILS Staircase
would certainly be known: and if he
was in search Of US, it was a sufficient
proof that we were the persons wanted.
1 had to get at that Indirectly.
IF you will permit me I will give
you an exact report of what has hap
pened here, and that viii account for
everything"
''All I want is a plain answer to my
question. No long, roundabout, lying
story"
There was no help for it. I must lie.
So l did it boldly. Most fortunately
got the revolver here" I said
You're a cool hand" was the sheer
ing reply. But it won't do you any
good to lie to me-"
Fortunately, 1 mean, because it
saved my life and that of my sister
here. We were attacked"
do you mean there are any others
in the house?" he broke in.
Certainly / do. The two wretches
who appear to have been living here are
IN q room above"
Both the man and his wife had kept
quiet as mutes all this time. But they
had evidently been listening, for at that
moment the door above was opened and
the two came out.
'Is that the police? Is that the
police?" cried the woman. Heavens,
and the blessed Virgin above be
praised. We've been nearly murdered

A Very Tiaht Corner.

The suspense of the two or three mo-
ments which followed the entrance OF
the pair constituted an ordeal not to
be forgotten. That VOlna mastered
herself sufficiently 10 pass through il
without a sign or sound was the great
est proof of her courage she could have
given.
It was less trying for me. had wit
messed the wOman's former visit, and,
despite her ominous whisper TO her hus-
band, had come 10 the conclusion that
no attempt was to be made on our
lives. Moreover, 1 was armed. But
Volna knew nothing of this. I had only
been able to whisper a hurried and very
indefinite warning to her, calculated, de-
spite my assurance, to work up her
fears to a high strain.
They stood still for some moments;
the man slightly in front Of his wife,
who set candle she was carrying down
behind her. The faces of both then
caught the red CLEAN from the embeTs
of the fire: and so evil looking a couple
l hope never TO see again.
The mans long. thin, cunning face
was strained and intense, and his mar
row. treacherous eyes glanced from me
to Volna and back from Volna to me-
. as if in doubt which to attack first. just
behind him stood the tall, gaunt and
angular form of the woman melting
him: her eyes cleaning with excite
ment, her lips parted and drawn in a
snarl to one side, and every line, cica-
trice and seam OF her SCARED. repulsive
features brought inJo strong relief by
the ruddy CLEAN of the log fire. She
looked a veritable hog of evil, utterly
-detestable, deadly and loathsome.
THE man first" she whispered, jog
ging her accOmplice.
He glanced half round to her irrit-
abIv. and then I saw that he was car
rying a length of cord.
He began to creep slowly toward me
until Volna, as she confessed after
wards, could endure it 10 longer. She
sprang up and called me.
In another moment / was on my feet;
