CHAPTER III.

Doctor Courtney arrived first. Up
the drive he came whiTring in his
light electric runabout, and darling
through the door which the house
keeper held wide for him, was by the
patients side in few seconds. To-
gether we made a thorough examina-
ton Of the reviving man. The physi-
clan tested his temperature. his heart
and refexes, afterward addressing me
concisely.
ut is nothing serious. There is no
permanent injury and he will be all
right as soon as he RECEIVERS from the
shock. He seems to have been Sc
verely choked. but there was no chloro-
form or other drug administered" He
gave the patient stimulant. and l
was much relieved to see my uncle
respond to 1t favorably as the patrol
wagon arrived. A moment later a
group of officers piloted by Mrs. Teb-
bets swarmed into the room. In few
words 1 explained to them the condi-
ton of affairs as had found them.
and In twos and threes they went
trooping over the house from top to
bottom in a survey of the safe. the
doors and shutters and other things
of interest to them. Then they came
back to us. Uncle Abner by this
time was able to speak In low voice.
and the captain, seating himself, de-
handed that he be told all that the
pilfered one knew of the affair. Still
speaking with more or less difficulty.
Uncle Abner addressed US.
"I was sound asleep. The room was
very dark and knew Of nothing I'M

pinioned to the bed by a heavy man.
He was choking me and pressing my
arms to helplessness beneath his

could do little more than squirm be-
meath his strength. He used good
deal of force, and in few moments
my senses left me. I knew nothing

useless, for there was nobody else on

knew II she should awake and attempt
to come to my assistance or give the
alarm my assailants would do some
thing to render her helpless If they
had not already done SO. Therefore
l desisted attempting to make noise.
