light that streamed out he could see
me plainly. I tried to slip the last
bolt before he could reach me, but II
was stiff and I couldn't move it. Win
an oath he grabbed me by the arm
and dragged me into the office. Both
DR.. Cellar and Mr.. Pollock were there,
and he told them what I had been

me and shook me and demanded 10

of anything to say and | just
screamed, thinking that those outside
would hear me and break in. They
did hear me, for they began to ham,
mer on the door and demand entrance
and L screamed again. But at that
Mr.. Pollock clapped his hand over my
mouth and DR.. Cellar caught my
wrists, and between them they drag
ged me into a little room beyond the

hospital' At that DR.. Cellar laughed
sneeringly and said, is it your usual
method of getting patients to run
about at night and kidnap them from
rival sanatOriums" I could hear
DR.. Foster give a little muttered oath
of anger, but Mr. Langdon broke in
sharply, saying. This is no time for
listening to any tomfoOl insults from
YOU Zellar-what we want is Miss
Page, and by heaven, I'll get her out
of here if I have to kill you and
break down every door in the place
Even that wouldn't get her said DR.
