CHAPTER VII.
Miss La Rue Pays a Call.

Some slight noise caused WeStc0tt
to straighten up. and turn partially
around. He had barely time to fling
up one arm in the warding off of a
blow. The next instant was one or
mad. desperate struggle, in which he
realized only that he dare not relax
his grip on the wrist of his unknown
antagonist. 1t was fierce, intense
grapple, every muscle strained to the
utmost, silent except for the stamping
Of feet, deadly in purpose.
Twice Westcott dove his clenched
right into the Swallowed face. smash
ing it the last time so hard the mans
grip relaxed. and he went staggering
back. With a leap forward, the bat
tie fury on him, Westcott closed be-
fore the other could regain position.
Again the clenched fist struck and the
fellow went down in the darkness,
whirling backward to the earth-and
lay there, motionless.
An instant. painting, GREATNESS
scarcely yet comprehending what had
occurred, the victor stared at the
huddled figure, his arm drawn back.
Then he became aware of excitement
Within the sound of voices, the tramp
of feet on the floor, the sudden open
ing of a door. A CLEAN of light shot
out. revealing the figures OF men.
With one spring he was across the
shapeless form on the ground. and
had vanished into the darkness be-
yond.
Lacy was first to reach the uncon-
scious body, stumbling over 1t in the
black shadow, as he rushed forward.
revolver In hand. He cursed, rising to
his knees. and staring about in the
silent darkness.
There's man lying here-dead,
likely. Bring light. No, the fellow
Is alive. Dammit. it's Moore. Here
you-what happened?"
The fellow groaned. opened his eyes,
and looked about dazedly.
"There-there was fellow at that
window there. II saw him from be-
low. and crept up behind but he
turned around Just as struck"
"He was at that window. you say?''
"Yes; kneelin' down like he was
lookin' into the room. Oh. Lord"
Lacy crunched over to the side OF
the shack. and bent down to get a
better view. His fingers came in con-
tact with the knife which upheld the
sash. and he plucked it out, holding II
up into the beam of light passing
through the rent in the torn curtain.
He stored at the curiously carved
handle intently.
That's Jim Westcott's jack-knife.
He's been listening to all we said
Now we are up against it."
