She lay in frozen stiffness as the strange man slowly advanced across the brightly moonllt room to the foot of her bed and halted, his narrowed gaze unwaveringly fixed upon her. She stifled hysterical desire to scream; then, in sudden terror, switched on the bed lights and tried to reach out to the wall to ring for a servant, but she was not quick enough. The man took rapid step forward and with the hand buried in his pocket, lifted the i bottom of his coat suggestively.
 Don't try that again." he warned.
 She sank back under the satin coverlet. Of course, he was armed. Frightened at what might have happened, she lay very still. Don't remember me, do you? Never saw me before?" he ques- tioned sharply, bending closer.
 No" she said faintly. He strengthened. "Ever hear of a man named Larson?"
 Larson" Her thoughts raced frantically. "Yes - somewhere I've heard that name."

 She, too, was remembering. was sick" she recalled. During your trial they came to my bed side and took my sworn statement. You were sentenced for holding up that night club with those other men. They never got the other two?" she suddenly asked.
