West never understood why he re-

He had no suspicion of any trick, no
conception Of being In any danger
He stepped in directly behind the
slant later, the door closed, with the
sharp click Of night latch, and Mike
flashed on the light AS he did so,
he wheeled about, and shot one mighty
cenched fist straight into Vests face.
This was done so suddenly, so unex-
pectedly, the man attacked found no
opportunity to even throw up hand
in self.defense. The giant Pole flung
his whole weight into the crashing
blow, and the ex-soldier went down
as though struck by n pole-ax. For
an instant, he realized that Sexton
was in fierce struggle; that his as
sailant stood poised above him ready
to land again IL he moved; then con-
sciousness left him entirely.
He woke up. sitting In chair, his
hands bound to the arms with strips
of cloth. For moment everything
about seemed tinged with yellow, the
various objects in sight vague and
| shapeless. 1t hurt him to move his
head, and his mind functioned duly.
| He could not think, or bring back
| to memory recollection .of what had
occurred. Yet slowly the mist cleared
and the objects about him assumed
natural form. He was In room OF
some size-not the one In which he
| had been attacked, he felt sure-titted
up with long table, and number
Of chairs. There was no other fur
niture; the walls were bare, and only
a small rag rug partially covered the
! floor. At first he perceived no other
occupants; only as, painfully, he
finally twisted his head to the right,
his eyes distinguished two men seated
against the wall. The sight Of their
| faces restored instantly his mer1ry
of what had occurred. The Pole rested
back. with feet on the table and eyes
closed but the Other--the younger
man-was watching him closely, an
unlighted cigar gripped in his teeth.

ter said unpleasantly. "Td begun to
