in his haste to catch him, but the young
man, hearing him, and anxious to get
Philippa out of danger, slipped with
her into a doorway. The Masked
Stranger followed. Peter received him
at the point of pistol, and, much to
the Strangers establishment, pushed
him into the doorway, and closed the
door.
Philippa whispered to him. Peter
nodded. The stranger was told to obey
the order that Peter conveyed to him,
and in a few minutes Philippa and her
escort emerged. 1t was now quite
dark. Peter wore the black bandage
over his eyes which he had seen the
Stranger wear so often, and as they
hurried along Philippa turned more
! than once as though terrified over some
hidden enemy.
Her fears were justified, for the
Stranger, leaping from the doorway,
dashed after them, shouting. Sudden
