ping rain from the caves of the root
to the gutter JUST above my window
which was partly open to admit some
fresh air. Going to bed almost i'm
mediately, turned out the light. All
was dark except a little light shone
from dim, small lamp in the hall
way. Tossing on my bed it seemed as
though I could not 60 to sleep. Some
how strange despairing feeling came
over me. Getting up and slipping on
my clothes as quietly as possible, be-

strange place to me. | noticed the
houses on either side of the street
were all dilapidated and tumbled
down. Exhausted from the long walk
and most out of breath (not a word
having been spoken during all this
time), finally asked him where he
was carrying me. AT this he gave me
a terrible hard blow on my body with
big club which he carried in his
hand. cried out with pain and hol-

that heard me, He repeated the blows
until finally the club broke. l lay
