see me either a free man or a pris-

and in spite of Johnson's promise to

for the latter than the former.
Blobs was watching for me outside

Come back here, you imp of Sa-'

hear him speeding down the corridor,
and the slam of the outer Office door
by which he always announced his
presence. and so l stood there in the
ridiculous cupboard, hot with the heat
of steaming September day, musty
with the smell of old leather bindings,
Uttered with broken overshoes and
handleless umbrellas. i was apoplec-
tic with rage one minute, and choked
with laughter the next. 1t seemed an
hour before Blobs came back
He came without haste, strutting
with new dignity, and passed outside
my prison door.

ably, and proceeded to turn the key.

the lock. Gee whiz. you'd ought to

surance that the lock had slipped, and
that they would be free as lords as
soon as we could find the janitor with
a pass-key. Stuart went down finally
and discovered Blobs, with the key in
his pocket, telling the engineer how
he had tried to save me from arrest
and failed. When Stuart came up he
was almost cheerful, but Blobs did not
