His ugly features twisted in a ferocious scowl. He braced himself, setting bis feet firmly against the sides of the ladder, took a deep breath, and flung » piorself back wards, tugging the lock with all his immense strength. There was a sharp. splintering crack of woodwork and a heavy crash as the Irishman fell bodily from the ladder to the floor below. But in his hand he held the padlock, still securely locked. Mahony pushed the door open and | mounted to the roof; the [rishman made haste to follow him. From D Ir | i collided with a chimney stack, and | came to rest. Immediately after him came the Irishman. He, too, :leared the dis- j tance, but only just: had not Ma-| hony grabbed him, he would have slipped back and fallen. And then, | with a defiant yell, the foremnst of | the pursuing policemen essayed the jump. It was a plucky effort, but it did | not succeed. As Mahony and the irishman turned to run. the police man struck the edge of the roof with his knee, grabbed frantically at the | hard stonework to try to save him | self, and then fell with a heavy thud to the ground thirty feet below | The other policemen hesitated. j Handicapped as they were by ueavy boots and uniform, they did no: feel inclined to risk their comrade’s fate.

They began to make their way quickly along the roofs away from thé trapdoor. The police were not far behind them;.as they were crossing th2 roof of the house next door the foremost emerged from the trapdoor. “There they go,” he shouted, and started in pursuit. Three other po- licemen came hard on his heels. From the street below came a con. tinued sound of excited shouting; poli-e whistles were blowing shrilly They crossed about stx roofs at top speed, gaining slightly on the pur- suing policemen. Then Mahony stopped suddenly, and the Irishman gave a shout of dismay. In the darkness of the housetops, it was not possible to see far anead But even in that darkness their eye sight carried far enough to show them that a couple of roofs farther on the line of houses finished with the end of the street. With the police behind them, and a drop of thirty feet to the ground about twenty yards atead of ‘hem. | it seemed that their escape was en tirely cut off. NE chance of escape Mahony saw —a slim chance. At the end of} the line of roofs along which they | were running, and at right angles to it, was another line of roofs covering the houses in ancther street. Be tween the end roof of the row on} which they stood, and the nearest | roof in the row running at rignt an gles to it, was a wide gap. Mabony turned to the Irishman “Are you game to take a chance “OH it?™ he asked. | The Lrishman nodded. | “I'm game,” he answered. From behind came an exultant shout: the pursuing police had seen | the predicament in which they stood Mahony taughed; he buried himself forward at top speed. reached the ex treme edge of the roof. and,jumped for his life.

There was no suit on the housetups now, though the street below was in a tumult; from every house people had rushed out to see what was happening. The Irishman started to the side of the roof to look over, but Mahony laid a restraining hand on his arm. “Don't let yourself be seen from the street,” he said. “l.isten, no one can see us at the-moment; beyond knowing that we're somewhere on these housetops, no one can e cuite sure exactly where we are. If we can only get down into one of the houses without being seen, and then get out of the front door and mingle with the crowd in the street. we stand some chance of slipping away in the confusion.” “There's sense to that,” said the Irishman. “What we have to do is to tind a trapdoor that we can break open from the outside pretty easily.” went on Mahony. “Come on, and keep your eyes open.” Luck was with them; the next house they came to had better than a trapdoor leading to the roof; it had a skylight. The frishman put one massive foot down hard on it twice; with a sharp tinkle the glass caved inwards, falling down into the house. Mahony and the trishman dropped through the ovening to the landing at the top of the house. Swiftly. but cautiously they made their way down a dark. narrow stair case towards the ground floor.
