CHAPTER Xl.-continued.


II filed Andrea with a premonition
and brought her a desperate courage
She took off her high-heeled slippers
and climbed down several rungs of the
ladder that led to her platform; then
seating herself and getting a good
knee-grip on the limb, she leaned down
and gradually worked loose the cleat
below her. After that she took the next
above and then the next, depositing
each cleat as she removed it in her
room.
No sooner had she finished, leaving
herself cut off from easy access to the
outside world but in compensation
having established a substantial OBJ
stacle TO sudden assault from below,
than she was aware of the whispering,
wheezy sound of heavy breathing. I'M
mediately after7ward came to her dis
tended ncstrils an overpowering odor
Of gin, nauseatingly sweet and sour at
the same time. She looked down into
the shadowy gloom and saw MacClos-
ter's bulk moving slowly upward, rung
by rung, each movement as deliberate
and repulslve as that of a giant sloth.
Gripping one of the loosened cleats
in her right hand she knelt on the
edge of the platform and watched
breathlessly his progress. When he
came to the break I'm the ladder his
hairy paws CROPPED helplessly for mo-
ment only; then they embraced the
tree-trunk and he began to swarm up
the easy slant. "Waiting up for me,
dearie?" he whispered.
Andrea suppressed an instructive
impulse to fly before his advance, all
the more terrifying because it was so
deliberate. Her face went white, her
eyes narrowed, but her lips set in a
straight line as she waited, trying her
best to quiet her excited breathing lest
it betray her pitlful agitation. She
measured the distance between the
edge of the platform and those slowly
sliding hands. Only when they got so
close mat she could see the Ifns-AE
fine yellow hair on them did she strike
first at one and then at the other, and
not with the edge OF the cleat, but
with the three jagged nails that pro-
truded from its flat side.
With a below of rage MacCloster
snatched back his pierced hands, trust
ing to the grip of his knees. Andrea
clutched the cleat tightly, leaned for
ward and struck him across the side
of the head with all her strength. He
lost his balance and fell. She heard
his body crashing from limb to limb
until it landed with a terrific thud on
some platform far below. Up from the
depths came liquid stream Of curses
he could no longer below, he was
whining with the rage that means to
kill.
Andrea sank back and covered In
the corner of her hOvel. She was
