CHAPTER IX— Continued —l3— “You mean” —Laurie was staring at him incredulously—"you mean you don't Intend to let me leave here?” Shaw shrugged deprecating shoulders. “Oh. surely! But not immediately.” His guwt turned and addressed the fire. “I never listened to such nonsense In my life." he gravely assured IL Shaw nodded. “It does seem a little melodramatic.” he conceded. ”1 tried to think of something better, something less brusque, as it were. But the time was so short; I really had no choice.” “What do you mean) by that?” Laurie had again turned to face film. "Exactly what I say. Think It over. Then let me have your decision." Laurie moved closer to-him. “Get up.” he commanded. Shaw looked surprised. "I Am very comfortable here." “Get up!" The words came out between the young matfs clenched teeth. Shaw again shrugged deprecating shoulders. Then, with another of his sharp-toothed grins, he rose and faced his visitor. At the desk across the room the big blond secretary rose, also and fixed his pale blue eyes on his employer. [ . ■ ' said Laurie, “tell me what the devil you afe driving at. and what all this mystery meatis.” “What an Impulsive, high-strung chap you are!” Shaw was still grinning his wide grin. i “You won't tell me?" "Os course I won’ll! Tve told you enough now to satisfy any reasonable pors<<n. Resides, yolu said you had something to say to me." He was deliberately goading the younger man. and Ldurip saw it. He saw, too, over Shavr's shoulder, the tense, waiting figure of the secretary. Il* advanced andthe’ step. “Yea,” he said. "I’ve got three things to say to you. <»ne Is that you’re a contemptible. low-lived, blackmailing hound, i The second is that before I get through, with you I’m going to choke the truth out of your fat throat. And the third is that I’ll see you in h—l before I give you any such promise a* you ask. Now, I’m going.” He walked over th the couch and picked up his hat and coat. The secretary unostentatiously -insinuated -himself into the cenjter of the room. Shaw alone remained immovable and unmoved. Even a$ Laurfe turned with the garments in| his hands, Shaw smiled bls wide sir he andj encircled the room with a sweeping gesture of one arm. I “Go. then, by all fneans. my young ’friend.” he cried jovially, “but how?”

Laurie’s eyes followed the gesture, lie had already observed the absence of windows. Sow. for the first/time, wish ft sudden intake of brerfth. he discovered a second pack. Seemingly, there was no exit from the room. Os course there was a ! door somewhere, but it was cleverly Concealed. perhaps behind some revolving pleCe of furniture; or jiossihly it [was opened by a hidden spring. Wherever it was. Jt could be found. In (the meantime, his maneuver had gh*«in hitn what he wanted—more space in which to fight two men. With a Sudden movement Shaw picked up the sllver-framed photograph and ostentatiously blew the dust off it. This d <ne. he held Jt out and looked at it admiringly. “You will stay here, but you will not be alone,” he promised, with his wide, sharp-toothed grin. -This will keep you company. See how the charming lady smiles at the prospect—” He dropped the picture, which fell wlthi a crash on the tiled flooring around the flreplace. The glass broke and t splintered. Shaw gasped and gurgled under the strangling hold of powerful fingers on his throat. Lamp and table were overturned In the struggle that carried the three men half a dozen times a'cross the room and back. Laurie, fighting two opponents with desperate fury, could still see their forms and Shaw’s bulging eyes In the firelight Then he himself gasped and choked. Something wet and sweet was pressed against his face. He heard an excited whisper: . “Hold on! Be careful there. Not too much of that I” A moment more and he had slipped over the edge of the world and was dropping through black space. CHAPTER X A Bit of Bright Ribbon. When ijtnrie opened his eyes blackness was still around him. a blackness without a point of light. But as his mind slowly cleared, the picture he saw in his last conscious moment flashed across bls mental vision—the dim. firelit room, the struggling, straining figures of Shaw and the blond secretary. He heard again the hissed caution. “Not too much of that!" He sat up dizzily. There had been “too much of that.” He felt faint and mildly nauseated. His hands, groping in the darkness, came in contact with a brick, floor; or was It the tiling around the fireplace? He did not know. He decided to sit quite still for a moment, until he could pell himself together. His body felt stiff and sore. There must have been a dandy fight in that dingy old room, he reflected with satisfaction. Perhaps the other two men were lying somewhere near him in the darkness. Perhaps . they. too. were knocked out He hoped they were. But no. of course not. Again be remembered the hurried caution. “Not too much of that.” He decided to light a match and see where he was, and he fumbled In his

pockets with the first instinct of panic he had known. If those brutes had taken his matchbox* But they hadn't. He opened it carefully, still with a linsuggestion of the panic. If he had been a hero of romance, he reasoned. with a dawning grin, that box would have held exactly one match; and he would have had to light that one very slowly and carefully. Then, at the last instant, the feeble flicker would have gone out, leaving It up to him to Invent some method of manu - facturing light. As it was. however, his fat matchbox was comfortably filled, and his cigarette case, which he eagerlyopened and examined by touch, held three, no. four cigarettes. That was luck 1 His spirits rose, singing. Now for a' light! He lit a match, held It up, looked around him. and felt himself grow suddenly limp with surprise. He had expected, of course, to find himself In Shaw's room. Instead, he was tn a cellar, which resembled that room only In the Interesting detail that it appeared to have no exit. With this discovery, his match went out. He lit .another, and examined his new environment as carefully as he could - In the brief interval of Illumination it afforded. The cellar was a perfectly good one, as cellars go. It was a small, square, hollow cube in the earth, not damp, not especially cold, and not evilsmelling. Its walls were brick. So was the floor, which was covered with clean straw, a discovery that made its present occupant suddenly cautious in handling his matches. He had no wish to be burned alive in this underground trap. The place»was apparently used as a sort of storeroom. There was an old trunk Ui it. and some broken-down pieces of furniture. The second match burned out. Affluent though he was in matches, it was no part of the young man's plan to burn his entire supply at one sitting, as it were. For half an hour lie crouched in the darkness, pondering. Then, as an answer to certain persistent questions that came up in his mind, he lit a third match. He greatly desired to know where lay the outlet- to that cellar, and in this third illumination he decided that he had found it. There must be some sort of a trap-door at the top, through which he had been dropped or lowered. Those wide seams in the whitewashed ceiling must mean the cracks due to a set-in door. Undoubtedly that door had been bolted. Also, even assuming that it was not fastened, the ceiling was fully eight feet above him. There was no ladder, there were no stairs. His third match burned out. In the instant of its last flicker he saw something white lying on the straw beside him. He promptly lit another match, and with rising excitement picked up the sheet of paper and read the three-line communication scrawled in pencil upon it: “Out tomorrow. Flashlight, candles, cigarettes and matches in box at your left. Blankets in corner. Be good." The recipient of this interesting document read it twice, Then, having secured the box at his left—a discarded collar box. judging by its shape and labels—he drew forth the flashlight, the cigarettes, the matches .and the candles it contained. Lighting one of the candles, be stuck it securely on a projecting ledge of the walk By its wan light, aided by the electric flash, be took a full though still dazed inventory of his surroundings. The ophidian Shaw had puzzled him again. He had handled Shaw very roughly for a time. He could still feel—and he recalled the sensation with great pleasure—the thick, slippery neck of the creature, and the way It had squirmed when he got his fingers into it. Yet the serpent evidently bore no malice. Or —a gearing thought struck Laurie —having things his own way, he could afford to be generous. In other words, be was now perfecting i his plans, while he. Laurie, was out of the way. The promise of release tomorrow ■ could mean, of course, only one thing —that those plans, whatever they ; were, would be carried out by' then. . And yet—and yet— The boy put his | head between his hands and groaned. What was happening to Doris? Surely nothing could happen that night! Or could it? And what would it be? Only a fool would doubt Shaw's power and venom after 5 such an experience as Laurie had Just had. and yet— Even now the skeptical interrogation point reared itself In the young man’s mind. One fact alone was clear. He must get out of this. But how? Flashlight in hand, he made the short tour of the cellar, examining and tapping every inch of the wail, the masonry and the floor-work. Could be pile up the furniture and so reach tbe door tn the celling? He could not. The articles consisted of the small, battered trunk, a legless, broken-springed cot and s dock whose internal organs bad been removed. Piled one on the other, they would not have borne a child's weight. Laurie decided that be was directly under Shaw's room. Perhaps the creature was there now. Perhaps he would consent tea parley. But shouts and whistles, and a rain of small objects thrown up against the trapdoor produced do response. He began to experience the sensations of a trapped animal. So vivid were these. and so overpowering, as be measured bls helplessness against the girt's possible need of him, that he used all Ms will power irf overcoming them. Resolutely be reminded himself that he must keep cool and steady. Be would leave nothing undone that could be done. He would shout at Intervals. Perhaps sooner or later some night watchman would hear him. He would reach that trapdoor if the achievement were humaniy

possible. But first, last and all the time he would keep cool. When he had exhausted every resource his imagination suggested, he sat in the straw, smoking and brooding. his mind Incessantly seeking some way out of his plight At intervals he shouted, pounded and whistled. He walked the floor, and re-examined it and tbe cellar walls. He looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the morning. He was exhausted and hi* , body still ached rackingly. Very slowly he resigned htmself to ! the inevitable. Morning would soon ' come. He must sleep til! then, so be in condition for the day. He found Shaw’s blankets, threw himself on the ! straw, land fell Into a slumber. fuH of disturbing dreams. In the most vivid of these he was a little boy. at school; I and on the desk before him a coiled boa constrictor, with Shaw's wide and sharp-toothed grin, ordered him to copy on his slate an excellent photo- I graph of Doris. He awoke with a start, and tn the next instant was on his feet. He had heard a sound, and now he saw a light falling from above. He looked up, A generous square opening appeared in the ceiling, and leading down from it was the gratifying vision of a small ladder. Up the ladder Laurie sprang with the, swiftness of light Itself. Subconsciously he realized that if he was to catch the person who bad opened that door and dropped that ladder, he must be exceedingly brisk about it. But. quick as he was, he was still too slow. With a grip on each side of the opening, and a strong swing, he'lifted himself Into, the room above. As he expected, it held no occupant. What he had pot expected, and what held him staring now. wait .that it held not one stick of furniture. Bare as a bone, bleak as a skeleton. It had the effect of grinning at him with Shaw's wide white grin. His first conscious reflection was the natural one that it was not Shaw's room. He had been carried to another building. This room had a window, which, of course, might have been concealed behind the letter files. Yet, bare as it was, it familiar. There was the fireplace, with its charred logs. There, yes. there were the splinters of the glass that had protected Doris’ photograph. And, final convincing evidence, there, forgotten in a corner, was the worn bedroom slipper he had noticed under the couch the night before. With eyes still bewildered, still Incredulous. he stared around the empty room. Before him yawned an open door, showing an uninviting vista of dingy hall. He stepped across its threshold and looked down the winding passage of the night before. Bui why hadn’t he seen the door? He moved back into the empty room. A glance explained the little mystery. The room had been freshly papered, door and all. The surface of the door had been made level with the wall. When it was closed there was no apparent break in the pattern of the wall paper. If there had been a chair In the room, young Mr. Devon would have sat down at this point. His body wanted to sit down. In fact. It almost insisted upon doing so. But just as he was relaxing in utter bewilderment, he received another gentle shock. Above the old-fashioned mantel was a narrow, set-in mirror, and In this mirror Laurie caught a glimpse of the features of a disheveled young ruffian, staring fixedly at him. He had time to stiffen perceptibly over this vision before he realized that the disheveled ruffian was himself, a coatless, collarless self, with shirt torn open, cuffs torn off. hair on end. features battered and dirty, and bits of straw clinging to what was left of his clothing. For a long moment Laurie gazed at the figure in the glass, and as he gazed his mi hr led emotions shook down Into connected thought. Yes. there had been a dandy fight tn this room last night, and he had the satisfaction of knowing that his two opponents must have come out of it as disheveled as himself. He had “had them going." Beyond doubt he could have handled them both but for their infernal chloroform. Again he recalled. with pleasure, the feeling of Shaw's thick, slippery neck as It choked and writhed under the grip of his fingers. Incidentally he had landed two blows on the secretary's Jaw. wending him first into a corner and the next time to tbe floor. It was soon after the second blow that the

episode of the chloroform occurred. Straightening up. he begun the hurried «Dd elemental toilet which was all the conditions permitted. He removed the pieces of straw from his clothing, smoothed bis hair, straightened his garments to conceal as much of the damage to them as possible, and gratefully put on his coat, which lay neatly folded on the floor, with his silk hat resting snugly upon it. It required some courage to go out into the dear light of a January morning in patent-leather pumps and wearing a silk hat He would And some one around tbe place from whom he could borrow a hat and get the information he needed about the late tenants of this extraordinary office. It was halfpast seven. He had slept later than he realized. He had slept while Doris was in peril. Tbe reminder both appalled and steadied him. With a last look around the dismantled room, he closed its door behind him and went out into the winding hail- He hurried up and down its length, poking his head into empty storerooms and dusty offices, but finding no sign of life. <TO BE CONffINVKD.)
