She lay back upon the straw, tnfinitely relieved The vesper service drew to a close the church was empty once more. Dusk began to fall. and now the thought of a long night alone in the church brought fresh qualms. How long would this imprisonment last? It occurred to her that it might be well to find out all that was possible before darkness overtook her. and moving cautiously she explored her small quarters, finding 2 small door in_the grated walls.

No scream! make you safe!” Strong arms lifted her, and so, para- Iyzed by a fright that admitted of no sound or resistance, she felt herself being carried through the trap in the floor, down some 6tairs and deposited upon the ground in the darkness. A moment she was released, while her captor closed the trap above him. Then once more she was being car- ried, dragged along a low passage, e - while the man spoke to her in low, rapid tones, foreign tones— “Missy, no frighten, no hurt, much- v at_home soon, no speak!” No need to warn her into silence.
