The room in which we were was a

Lockwood looked about hastily and
his eye fell on the door, then on this
folding bed.
With wrench, he opened it and
seized the cotton mattress from the
inside. With his gun ready he ad-
vanced toward the barricaded door,
holding the mattress as a shield, for
his experience in wild countries had
taught him that cotton mattress is
