the result was disappointing; no trap

the pipes In the roof were ventilators

damp and clammy. ! must have been
there long time, and the searchers
were probably hunting outside the
house, dredging the creek, or beating
the woodland. ! knew that another
hour or two would find me uncon.
scious, and with my inability to cry
out would go my only chance OF res
cue. 1t was the combination of bad air
and heat, probably, for some made

The house was very still. Once my
straining ears seemed to catch foot

room. l CROPPED for the chair from
the table, and pounded with 1t frantic
ally on the floor. But nothing hap
pened; realized bitterly that II the
sound was heard at all, no doubt 1t

And them heard sounds from be-
