Whether he escaped or was captured,
the delay would be short. With the
knowledge came action. I bore the
unresisting Ranger to the floor, hurl-
ing down the tray of food he bore in
a mass of broken crockery, and bound
him hand and foot, leaving the fellow
lying across the open doorway. He
was without arms, except his heavy
gun, which l left beside him. An in.

face.

to my knees, believing the animal

when l heard the growl of a voice, a
mans voice, from out the summer
house.
An instant I could not locate the
sound nor distinguish it clearly; then
a sentence u the air so distinctly j,

What was he doing here? Had we
