rived inconspicuously (but not much so as to
seem deserving Of police surveillance) in the
neighborhood of the Riverside drive home OF his
mortal enemy, a grim white house that lowered,
stark and tall upon corner
His preliminary reconnaissance provided little
more than comfortless exercise. Huge still its

mer' SO slight that Alan almost overlooked it.
But once discovered, it focused upon itself his
thoughts with power little less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that Rose was a
prisoner within those walls; that Judith must have
conveyed her there with all speed.
And this being the presumptiye case, that small,
high window Of the light might well be hers.
Directly across the street from the Urine resi-
dence, the opposite corner a colossal apartment
structure stood halfhnshed, stonework to its Sec
ond story, gaunt iron skeleton rearing above.
To HIS infinite disgust, Alan found the guardian
very wide awake, very much on the Job: no chance
here to steal unseen into the building
This in itself might have been deemed a sus-
pcious circumstance: not for nothing does an hon.
est night Waterman so deny the laws of nature and
the tenets OF his craft But Alan merely praised
the man while cursing the very fact of his exist

what seemed an uncommonly stubborn reluctance,
and got his way
He could not know that another skulked behind
barrier of lime barrels and overheard all that
passed and when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building, and stole after him
with footsteps as noiseless a cats and a face
that had the savagery Of a tigers when Il was
transiently relieved in shaft OF moonlight
At length Alan gained the gridron of girders
on a plane with the lighted window across the way
and crept along one of these, gingerly his hands
and knees, until he came TO its end and might IL

That view, however. did not tempt he kept his
eyes level; and was rewarded with a bare glimpse
OF a prettily-papered wall, framed in the lace of
halfdrawn curtains.

he assume his hopes fulfilled?
With difficulty he detached his hungry vision
from her, and drawing from his pocket a small
notebook, tore out blank page, placed this fat

When he looked up from this task, she had van

Sitting up, astride the girIer he took his watch

Providence, that morning-opened the back of the

it from him with all his might-wth such force
that it almost unseated him at the end of the
swing. But nothing less would have served to
bridge that yawning chasm.
And the watch few straight and true squarely
through the lighted window and to the further
wall .
In that very instant Of his exultation over an
obstacle overcome he heard sound behind him
of heavy breathing.
The assassin had come that close upon his prey
when Alan turned and discovered his peril.
The same moonbeam which had aided Alan in
the composition Of his message struck across the
others face, and showed it like a hideous Chinese
mask of deadly hatred with its eyeballs glazing
and its lips drawn back from the naked blade
gripped between its teeth-stetto nothing short
of a foot in length
With a sharp startled movement, Alan swung
himself bodily about, that, seated again astrlde
the grder he faced the assassin, who sat up strad-
ling the girder his feet hooked beneath It, and the
stiletto poised in lifted hand.
But now Alan in little or no better case
than before. If he faced the thug. he faced him

with arms other than Ihis bare hands He had
not even\a pen-knife in his pockets.
With low cry of desperation he snatched of
his hat, soft and shapeless felt affair, and flung
It squarely in the fellows face.
Before he could recover-before that u.s. it
dropped away and cleared his vision Alan had bent
forward and grasped the wrist of the hand that
held the knife
He snatched simultaneously at the other hand,
but 1t euded him.
Immediately the two became engaged in a fu-
rious contest for possession of the stiletto
Alan had this advantage, long as the knife
might not strke-that his right arm was free
while the assassin had only his left With this he
strove persisently to reach his knifehand and pos
sess himself Of the weapon. AS persistently Alan
foiled his purpose by dragging the knifehand
toward him and swinging it far out to one side
At the same time he struck repeatedly with his
clenshed fist at the others face. His blows did
little damage beyond disconcerting the other; but
this proved a very considerable factor in the duel
In the end, they served together with that steady
reslstessly downward and outward drag to break
the grip of the mans locked legs
Abruptly he pitched forward on his face along
the girder, kicking wildly, grasping at the air The
stiletto fell from an instinctively relaxed grasp
and disappeared. And before Alan could release
his hold, or the strain upon the right arm of
the assassin, this last had slipped bodily from the
girder and hung helpless in space, dangling at the
end OF Alan's arm-with no more than the grip Of
FIVE fingers between him and death
The shock of that unpresaged turn brought Alan
forward and fiat on his stomach. And the strain
on his left arm terrific. He doubted IL he
could maintain ii for another minute Nor was
there any reason why he should retain It, The end
he had designed for his victim was merely his
just deserts.
And yet Alan could not let him 60
Thus the battle began anew-but now It was a
battle with man half-crazed with fright and strug.
Cling so madly that he wellnigh frustrated the eff
forts OF his rescuer.
In the upshot the assassin lay like a linn rag
across the girder, head and arms dangling on one
side, legs and feet on the other. spent with his
terrific exertions and physically sick with terror
And in this state Alan left him. he had done
enough: let the man shift for himself from this
time on.

Suppose you were forty-three years

Further, suppose that cure was out Of
the question.
II you could use only your right
shoulder and the middle joints of two
fingers on your right hand
Do you think that you could write
a book on patience?
