with all his might-with such force
that it almost unseated him at the end
OF the swing. But nothing less would
have served to bridge that yawnihg
chasm.
And the watch few straight an6

dow and to the further wall.
At that very instant of his exultation
over an obstacle overcome, he heard a
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 eye
balls glaring and its lips drawn back
from the naked blade gripped between
its teeth-a stiIetto nothing short Of .
foot in length.
With a sharp, startled movement,
Alan swung himself bodily about. SO
that, seated again astride the girder,
he faced the assassin who sat up,
straddIing the girder. his feet hooked
beneath it a stiletto poised in his
right hand to strike
But even now Alan was in little or
no better case than before. II he faced
the thug, he faced him with no arms
other than his bare hands. He had not
even a pen-knife in his pockets.
With low cry Of desperation Alan
snatehed of his hat, a soft and shape
less felt affair. and flung it sQuarely in
the fellows face
Before he could recover-before,
that is. 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 IT eluded him.
Alan had this advantage, as long as
the knife might not strike-that his
right arm was free, while the assassin
had only his left with this he strovs
persistently to reach his knife-hand
and possess himself OF the weapon
As persistently Alan foiled his purpose
by dragging the knife-hand toward him
and swinging it far out to one side. Al
the same time he struck repeatedly
with his elenehed right fist at the 9th
er's face His blows did little dam
age beyond disconcerting the other:
but this proved q very considerable
factor IN the duel In the end. they
served together with that steady, re
sistless downward and outward drag
to break the grip Of the mans locked
/. legs
Abruptly he pitched forward on hi,
face along the gfrder. kicking wildly
grasping at the air. The stilettO feI
from an instinctIveiy relaxed grasp
and disappeared. And before Alaz
could release his hold, or ease ths
strain upon the right arm Of the as
sassin. this last had slipped bodily
from the gir1er and hung helpless d
space. dangling at the end Of Alan'l

them wild ought to be kicked out of

The people of this country-aside

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: The

must be felt concerning the reality OF
these charges greatly share. but
