years old, of South Bethlehem, slipped
from his sons house and went to an
outbuilding, where he shot himself twice
in the head. One bullet grazed the

Then Ritter walked over to Bethlehem,

over the railing of the canal bridge and
dropped to death In the water.
His body was swept out OF view be-

ever the risks, the dangers, this
adventuring was better than a more in
action, besieged there in the tower BY
that ugly, misshapen horde.
First of all, as he had done on the
first morning of the awakening, when
he had left the girl asleep, he wrote a
brief communication to forestall any
possible alarm on her part.

sary. Don't be afraid. Am between you

both the rifle and the shotgun. Stay
here and have no fear. VIII come
back as soon as possible. ALLAN.

awakening, she could not fail to see 1t.
Then, making sure that all the arms
were fully charged, he put the rifle

and conveniently in the holsters she had

One more reconnaissance he made at
the water pail and set off quietly down
the stairs. His feet were noiseless as

At every landing he stopped, listening
