be gained by complicating the posi-

keep his hand at the level Of his eyes,

My alarm, therefore, was great
when I saw that the room into which

He probably tried 1t in his turn, fell

left 1t hanged. I can we'll imagine
Erik dragging the body, in order to
get rid Of 1t, to the scene from tho
Roi de Lahore, and hanging 1t there
as an example. or to increase the SUI
perstitious terror that was to help
him in guarding the approaches to his
lair! Then, upon reflection. Erik
went back to fetch the Puntab lasso-
which is very curiously made out OF
catgut, and which might have set an
examining magistrate thinking. This
explains the disappearance OF the
rope.
