~ and expecting an almost immedl-
ate demand for admission to the room
bv some of the men, Thurley stood
holding one end OF the chain like god
dess released from bondage. She was
almost prepared for fight for her life,
had the moment demanded fierce and
desperate stand.
But nothing happened. Her color,
having fled, crept back once more, as
her fever and hope burned anew. She
was free in part; she must take adj
vantage OF her moment.
The window was her only concern.
TO attempt escape by the stairs and
door was a thought far too frightening
for a moments entertainment. She
was certain that some, if not all, of the
men were below in their usual quarters.
The room afforded nothing in the
nature of a rope. She knew from her
former examination that the window
was far too high from the frozen ground
and snow for a leap, or even a drop.
She had heard of captiveS tearing the
sheets OF bed to form an escaping
strand.
Wrapping half of the chain about
her waist and securing the end with
the wire, she tumblcd the bed clothes
over wildly, to find there were no sheets.
She remembered the fact, for moment
forgotten in excitement. But two of the
blankets were old She dragged them
out and attempted to part them with
her hands. The hens at the ends re
sisted stubbornly. She bit at and tore
them with her teeth. Once they were
severed, she made headway faster, using
laws and hands together. The blankets
were torn into three strips each; then
she knotted their ends together.
Zagorsky stirred and partially rose,
goaded by some latent force that FIRE

rousing her even to walking. "Pelevin!" "
she said, apparently staring at Thurley.
In sickening fright the girl let fall
her strips of cloth, as the woman sank
back in her bed.
Cold moisture broke on Thurlcy'S
brow. Her heart throbbed like an en-
gine in her breast. II seemed aS if the
horrid inefiicicncy of nightmare
numbcd and paralyzed her actions. Yet
she soon resumed her task. Fear had
electrified her ingenuity, rs courage had

CANADA VOTES AGAINST
DELAYING DISCUSSION

Ottawa, Feb. a-The reciprocity debate
was opened this afternoon in the House
Of Commons. Mr.. Monk. leader Of the
National wing Of the opposition. moved
that the house defer consideration Of the
agreement for an indefinite period to al
low the members Of the house to con-
Ter with their constituents. The minister
of finance replied that the reciprocity
proposition had been before the people of
Canada for upward Of forty years, and
that a plea for delay at this time was
not regarded by the government as being
made in good faith.
The proposition was voted down by a
great majority. r. L. Borden, the leader
of the opposition. made a speech lasting
three hours.
