in that closet, and the main guys got

Then came a sudden trample Of
feet, a chorus Of shouts and the
charge of armed officers of the law
through the house. For the sheriff had

Legar, knowing what that meant
with one sweep of his hooked arm
flung the green-shaded lamp from its
table, jumped through a window and
