Manley could hear their stunning
feet as they recrossed the rough floor
ing and then the scrape and rasp Of
the rusty lock as they once more
turned the key in the door. But the
moment they were gone he was once
nor busy with the cotton rope about
his wrists, for what he had overheard
increased his passion for liberty.
When a man, however. is still youth
fully blind enough to believe in his
start, to nurse the delusion that some
special genius has singled him out and
watches over him, he is not easily dis
couraged. Yet encouragement came,
and came in a form most unexpected,
even before Manley's hands were free.
It came, in fact, in the form Of a
green-bodied parrot creeping stealthily
through the rusty cross-bars grilling
the transom above the locked door.
He watched the bird slip into the
room, climb along the rusty iron gas
Jet, deliberately turn it on.
Manley knew what this meant, and
It spurred him to even more frantic
efforts to saw through the cords, still
holding him a prisoner, for already
the fumes of the escaping gas were
reaching his nostrils.
When one strand of It had parted,
and he had uncoiled the rest Of It from
his ankles, his head was swimming
and his legs we're unable to support
him. So he crossed the room on his
hands and knees, caught at the rusty
gas pipe for support and painfully
drew himself upright. His trembling
hand went out, found the gas Jet, and
turned 1t OF. And the next moment
he fell lace down on the rough floor,
and lay there in a gray daze Of weak
ness.
How long he lay there he could not
tell. But he was aroused by the sound
Of thick voices from the outer cham
Der, punctuated by the shrill cries OF
an angry and scolding woman. He
pulled himself together and possessed
himself of the brick bat, as a weapon.
He waited, scarcely breathing, as
the door was flung open. So quick,
however, was the entrance of the first
intruder that Manley could not lift his
missile before the darkness had swal-
lowed up that shifting shadow. But
standing in the lighted doorway vas a
second man, crouched low and leaning
forward with blinking eyes, a blue-bar-
relied navy revolver in his hand. Man.

shooter eyes his target, let fly with his

ing and paving along the wall, his
hand anne in contact with the rung
Of a narrow Iron ladder. He caught at
this ladder and drew himself up, for
he now stood shoulder high in the
ever-mounting flood. On the topmost
rung. as he mounted, he found a shak-
ing and feathered body clinging stub
bornly to the rusting iron, beating
with It's beak on the hollow sounding
boards above his head.
In a flash Manley himself was shout
dering up against these boards.
There was the sound of a rending
staple, and in another moment he was
swarming up through the ruptured
trap door, catching at the parrot al he
went.

The Figures Of Fate.

Margory Golden, alone in her IA
theirs library stared apprehensively
about that massively furnished room
as though dreading that some new
terror might leap out at her from its
shadowy corners. She was unnerved
not only by the disquieting disappear
ance of David Manley but also by the
thought that she was still 80 surround
ed by the tides Of evil.
AS she sat there, deep in thought,
she was depressed by the sudden sus-
picion that some n of the many
servants in that house was a traitor
to his master. Yet as she checked
them over, one by one, she found moth
ing on which to ground this ghostly
suspicion. She remembered that she
had once been suspicious even or Man
ley himself, Of this serious-minded
friend who hid his true feelings be-
hind q mask of light-hearted irrelev-
ancies. And there were things in
which she herself had not been alto
gether candid with him. There was,
for instance, the matter of Tito, the
Amazon parrot. She had not confded
to Manley the fact that in that bird,
stumbled across in a fancier's shop,
she had found an old friend, a friend
dating back to her unhappy days in
the Owls Nest. And she sighed aloud
as she gathered up the papers on the
rosewood desk and turned to the vault
to which she had forgotten to restore
them.
"Twenty-one, thirty, forty-two, six
