Her eyes dilated with sudden aston

sight of me, emerging from the black
shadow just behind her victim. Kirby
also perceived the quick change In the
face fronting him, read its expression
of fright, and sought to twist his head
so as to learn the truth. Yet before
he could accomplish this or his lips
could give utterance to a sound, my
hands closed on his throat, crushing
him down to the sill, and throttling
him into silence between the wise of
my fingers.

I had but one immediate purpose
in my mind-to escape from the house
as quickly as possible, to attain Pete's
cart at the edge of the woods, and be
several miles up the river, hidden
away in some covert before daylight,
leaving no trail behind. 1t would prove
decidedly to our advantage if l was
not seen or recognized. The very mys-
terry, the bewilderment as to who had

then spirited away the girl, would
serve to facilitate our escape.
