him free so quickly. The cockney soldier had to improvise tools from bits of scrap iron lying around. but he surmounted all difficulties and raised his master with the tender ness of q mother for an injured in- fant.
 Able to walk, sir if you lean on me-" he asked,
 Norman expressed his ability To move without assistance and eS- planed that the letting out of Kathleen took precedence of every thing else. She was shut up In a room overhead and her door was most certainly locked.
 ! Ali struck another match. "Then the key will be on this brighter" he said. "I'll run the rule over | him."
 It took several matches to search the voluminous pockets of Sir Dud- ley Glenister and the pockets yield ed up many things-money, cigars, 1 the big brandy flask - but no key. Then the last of Airs matches went out. Norman remembered that he ! had brought an electric torch and 1 that his captors had not taken 1t from him. He flashed it round and the search began again. They key was found on the floor ten feet from the defeated combatant, evi- dently knocked out of his hand when Ar took the flying leap on to his back. Norman was the first to see it and pick it up.
 "Come on." he cried. "This is zero, my lad. Over the top and up stairs"
 Lead on," said Norman. "You're in command this push"
 Master and servant left the room, and as soon as they began to mount the stairs the prone figure rolled over on to it's side. Inch by inch and with infinite agony his teeth clenched to stife too probable groans, Dudley Glenister dragged his bruised frame along the floor. More than once he had to stop and collect his failing strength, but hate urged him Q and at length he reached the doorway. Like some huge reptile he wriggled across the entry till his questing fingers touch- ed straw. He smiled and groping further touched tin. Then he fum- bled in an inner vest pocket which Ali had missed and he found silver matchbox. And again he smiled. .-.
 In the meanwhile a strange re- union was taking place upstairs. The rescuers discovered Miss kath- lden Glenister standing at the wln- dow. and to their astonishment the sordid room was as light as day.
 well, we'll" the girl exclaimed drily. "Better late than never. Con- sidering that the festivities nave been going on for at least ten min utes you have been rather slow in thinking of poor little me"
 Ali stepped to the window and m a glance took in the scene in the clearing where people seemed to De running about aimlessly in the cleo tric glare.
 Its them olighted picture ac- tors" he inadequately explained. "They've caught up quicker than l thought. Sorry, Miss, but I've had a, job to get the captain out Of trouble down below or I'd have been on hand sooner"
 A few words from Norman shed a little more light on the situation.
 "I am being perfectly horrid' Kathleen declared. i've known for the last hour since Hinkley came, that it would be all right. He said he was going for help, and when all that hullabaloo began l thought he had arrived and l wondered why nobody came for me. You must forgive me. My nerves are all rattled. Dudley said he was gong down to whip you and set the mill on fire"
 Thanks 10 my trusty Ali here' Dudley is knocked out and an easy prey for Hinkleyie policeman when he shows up," said Norman. our immediate scheme is to evacuate this loathsome mill and join these merrv-makers outside in about umpty-fve seconds
