a crash, and I was alone. The dun¬

barred window near tho roof. The
only piece of furniture in the room
was a small stone bench, upon which
I seated myself to think over the

placed me in this strange and un¬
pleasant position.

seen In fact, the ceil was bare of
everything which except the bench on
I sat, and that was merely a
projection from the stone wall. I
had always been accustomed to have
good things to eat when I wanted
them, and the thought of being
without food for any length of time
was not very pleasant. In fact, I
had never been without my regu¬

There seemed no posable way
of escape, and all I could hope for
was from the duf<e. I
thought he would hardly dare kill
me in his own house. He might per

hands and shut my teeth firmly to¬

a blaze of white light. There was
