es while l went boldly up to the door
and rang the bell | asked to see
either DR.. Cellar or Mr.. Pollock, and
was taken into an Office where both
men were sitting. Mr.. Pollock seemed
relieved to see me, as he said Miss
Page was very much excited and had
been sobbing and screaming, but he
was obviously suspicious of me. II
told him, however. that | had had a
fierce battle with Langdon to hold him
back from pursuing them. and that it
was he who had fired the shots: so at
last he seemed convinced and took me
up to Miss Pages room. She was hys-
terical and feverish and chung to me

edge OF her bed, in a narrow room
whose windows were heavily barred,

grew violent in the night l must be
free to get out and call for help. But
even though he left the door unlocked
he fingered just outside for long time,

arousing his suspicious. At last heard
him go downstairs, and | told Miss
Page that DR.. Foster and Mr.. Langdon |

lamp to the window and gave the sig |
