The nihilists were thrown into
panic by this sudden move on the
part OF Hardy. For the moment he
was in control of the situation,
though he was well aware that he
could not remain SO for long.
The American backed to the door,
still aiming at the ball, passed
through It after some little nervous
fumbling for the knob, closed It be-

across the empty room In which he
now found himself, not without, how

cal, still holding Hardy by the arm,
pulled him rapidly across the cellar
until they stumbled against the feet
Of men crawling on their hands and
knees. The American pitched for
ward on the back of one of these,
who kicked him savagely and swore
foul oath under his breath.

They passed through an opening in
the wall. SO low that It brought the
American fiat on his stomach. and
still scratched his back. That It was
barely wide enough for two at a time
was evident from the fact that,
though he had crowded close to Nor.

They were through in a trice and still
IN utter darkness. The sound of
scufiing feet again could be heard
the sound of nihilists fleeing.

Several of them were armed, and,
pointing pistols at Hardy. they
shrieked:

At this moment the hall door was
thrown open and a man rushed to
Hardy's side. 1t was Mordecai, the
whiskers his big hook-nose.
Mr.. Hardy" he cried, my dear
pupil" and he sprang between the
American and the pistols that were
pointed at the latter's body stop,

madness is this? What is this man
accused of? l know him. He is a
friend. l will vouch for him on my

He is a friend of aristocrats," ex-
planned Bielinski, stepping forward;
he entered here by mistake, he says,
but it is possible that he is spy
At any rate, he knows our secret; he
has overheard our plans and he will
betray us. He must die"
And at this moment a loud ham
mering was heard on the outer or
street door.
"Silence!" gasped Bielinski, in a
whisper-a whisper, nevertheless, that
could be heard more distinctly in the
sudden silence than a shout. What is
that?"
AS If in answer to his question, the
door opening into the hall flew wide,
and the old woman looked in, dishev-
eled and pale, moaning as she crossed
herself rapidly:
THE police! The police!"
Again that laundering on the door
sounded through the house, and a
stern voice could be heard command
ing:

Hardy was forgotten. The car,
their archenemy, was at the gates Of
their fortress and his name was a
word of terror. The nihilists flew
past the American on tip toe, into the
hall. several Of them jostling and al
most knocking him over in their Gag

Hardys attention. He was standing
in the darkness, but at the farther
end of the hall was a hanging lamp,
turned low, and by the light of this
he could see the door fly in splinters
and the officers of the law pour in.
