later on. The question is, will you
come quietly and on your own feet,
giving us your parole to make no dis
turbance, or must we go further, rem
der you completely helpless, and car
ry you? We intend to do you no per-
sonal injury. but you travel with US
hstanter. Understand? You hear
what l say, and you can move your
head. Nod IL you mean Yes; shake
your head If it's No" So saying the
colonel significantly held up to view a
bottle marked "Chloroform" and
sponge. Dallas was helpless-what
else could he do but nod an afirma-

intended in possession Of his senses
than insensible and inert. Biddle rose
with a nod of satisfaction.
"Blindfold him." he commanded
Stoner, and when this was securely
done, unite his feet and take of his
shoes" Then "Off with you, now; I'll
tidy up and follow you" Their backs
turned, Biddle in two strides reached
the desk and the cheQue-book OF
Dandy Dallas. He took it out, flut-
tered it's leaves until he came to the
first blank page. This he deftly tore
at the perforations, and was thus in
possession of five blank but consecu-
lively numbered cheques on the Lon
don and Westminster bank. Then the
colonel quickly restored the two
chairs to their places, gave a swift
glance around the room, and was at
the heels of the others in moment,
sliding shut the secret door, which
fell into its groves with faint click
In few minutes all four were in the
cellar of The willows. Then up the
cellar steps they proceeded. the blind

Manley, was to strike quickly. So
next morning he interview the multi

Some things may be purchased too

mo price is too great to pay for

Dallas, and give up like sport"

At the end of the lower hall he
opened a door. which led to the cellar
