When he was going to Richard III.
the hump-backed king, well-known

Seymour, I hear you are going to
play Richard?''
"Yes, / am" replied Mr.. Hicks.
"Ah, WE'LL" the other remarked
thoughtfully, you'll be saved some
trouble in the makeup. You won't
have to wear hump"

surprised.

was sohdly set In the wall, 1mbedded
in cement Finding not even so much
as a Ioosened corner at which l could
pry, l began a slow testing of the wall,
using the butt of my unloaded revolver
with which to sound. There was
brick beneath the coating Of cement,
a hard, glazed brick, as I discovered
by painfully gouging out a cracked bit
in one corner, set sOlldly IN mortar,
so hard it turned my knife-blade. L
dared not venture striking with any
force, but with ear against the wall,
convinced myself that 1t was both
solid and thick. I made the circuit
of the room twice, testing 1t every foot
or two, without reward. No hollow
sound disclosed any weakness For
the first time 1 despaired, and sat
down upon the couch, not knowing
what else to attempt.
No sound reached me through those
thick walls, and If, as Brandt had
intimated, a guard remained on duty
in the basement, the fellow possessed
no means of observing my movements
within The door was a solid piece
of iron, and, while 1t might be possible
for one outside to use the small holes
pierced In the grating over the window,
l felt confident / was not being spled

thoroughly convinced that the cell in
which I was confined was absolutely
safe But l was far too restless to
remain quiet; too desperate to yield
without further effort. Even as my
mind reviewed the nights adven-
lures, and speeulated on what Brandt
might attempt now, he had me safely
under lock and key, my eyes were
anxiously studying ceiling, side walls

the city by frightened parents. This
will result in bringing some cases OF
the disease into Vermont and other

possible should be observed. The con
tagion is not as yet widespread and
there is probably not enough danger
to call for quarantine or the refusal o.
