 Then take this first cried Legar At the same moment that he spoke the left hand in which he still held what seemed to be a black metal watch case swung forward. And as that object which so closely resembled a black watch hurtled through the air, Legar flung himself fiat on his face along the vault flooring. Then the black watch struck.
 The next moment the walls of that ponderous structure of marble and sandstone seemingly built to defy time itself, lifted bodily in the air. like the null of a torpedoed dreadnaught. Then, following the roar and rumble of that vast detonation. came the mo mentary catastrophe silence which so strangely and yet so inevitably sue ceeds a calamity too gigantic and toe abrupt to be understood.
 That ominous silence, however, last ed only for a few seconds Out of it arose, mufsled calls and thin cries for help, followed by answering shouts from many different points in the darkness as rescuing hands set to work on the ruins.
 And out of those ruins, while this work was going on, emerged two bruised and tattered figures strangely divergent in appearances. The first figure, worming its way out through the interstices of crumbled rock and cement, as cautiously and as silently as a wounded blacksnake might crawl from a cave, bore an iron claw at the end of its right arm and betrayed an unmistakable desire to creep away in- to the darkness before being observed.
 The second man, who, on recovering consciousness found himself encaged between two fallen pillars of marble topped by one of the roof slabs, expert enced no little difficulty in emerging to the open, so closely were these pro- tecting pillars we6ged about him,

 The Lake of Fire.
 Legar, lucky as his escape had been knew that his margin Of safety was still tCo narrow for much immediate comfort of either mind or body. So he crawled away as best he could nursing his strength when he came to cover and going on again when some passing light showed that cover to be none too dense. But he did not give up until he had reached higher ground. There he was able to hide himself in a thicket and rest for an hour or two.
 But to remain in that neighborhood until morning, Ee knew, world he out of the question. About the. whole suspected area, he felt, the police would surely throw a cordon. snd the resource of disguise was no lc-ger at his disposal. Already from where he lay, he could see dozens of moving lamps of workers about the raauso- leum ruins. He could also see the glow of powerful pair of headlights, apparently on a motor car threading it's way to the scene of the explosion. And to the north he could ever more distinctly see the fiery tongues of the chimney flares above the Westingham foundry, where hundreds of toilers. turning night into day. worked about tine great blast furnaces and cauldrors Of molten metal.
 In a foundry such as that, he sud denly remembered, lay his best chance for escape Disheve.ed as he was, he could pass unnoticed among those sooty workers. And when the night shift went off. he told himself. he could slip away in their midst. m. noticed and unchallepged And if he worst came to ths worst ne could crawl into hiding someNho about the tangle of machinery under that foundry roof itself, and there lay ID until he knew the coast was clear again. with the chance lf stealing a puddler's jumper io, lisgusa ll,d a dinner pail cr ivc Chi 1f le56 Err meal
