USING back the ciftains so that the light from the lamp fell upon the edge of the bedetead, I assured -. . myself that the missing knife was not where I had Jeft it. It must have slipped through—or been drawn out. The latter supposition explained the sound and movement -T had heard and seen. Yet it might have made that sound {n elipping through—its fall upon the floor deadened by the earpet, on its point sticking in the boards; but I fancled the Qorn-handie was too wide to allow of Its slipping through. To satisfy myself at once upon this point, I leaped out of bed, resolved to strike a match and look under the valance. I stood for a moment stupeiicd: the box of matohes was fone from the table where I was certain I had laid them. ‘They must have been taken while I lay screened by the ed-curtaing, I glanced over my shoulder, ‘The folds of the curtain against the bed were not the @eme as when I pushed them back to the wall; one fold stood out at an angle; and as, slowly turning round, I looked moro closely, I saw against the dark oak panel of the wall, sout the mid-height of a man, and protruding but an inch of 80 from the edge of the curtain, the bright point of a knife-blade. Now, Indeed, there was no longer any doubt. The man Who had come to rob was there to murder me. Had I stopped but another moment on the bed he might have lenifed me. What was I to do? I had him standing there behind the ourtain at a certain advantage. Should I epring upon him and strangle aim against the wall fm the folds of the curtain? C= (m the end be fatal. The thick stuff would prevent my getting @ firm grip of him, and his right hand, the one that held the knife, was free. My ohance was too small, the danger too great to justify that attack, though the muscles of my arms and fingers were strung up to make the tempting effort. Keeping my eye upon the curtain I drew back to the foot of the bed. To get to the door I must cross the room, and inevitably be seen by the murderous rascal as he stood there @m the inner side of the bed-curtain; and arrived at the oor I must turn the kep twice, and the handle as well, before the overtook me. On the other hand he had to dis- sengage himself trom the folds of the curtain and recover the @tart I had on him. The chances were pretty equal, and I determined to save myeelt by flight rather than risk the fatal result of the un- equal encounter. I made my way nolselessly in a straight line down the feom until I got opposite the door, chen I made a rush for {t @eross the open space. I got to the door, and with furtous haste groped about for the key—it was gone! I grasped the handle, in the hope that I might be able to tear the lock off; the screw had been taken out, and this knob slid off the spindle in my hand. [ was lost. It astonishes me now to think with what celerity and @drottness these precautions against my escape had been made. The man had not rushed after me; there was no desperate Pursuit of that kind; he knew I was trapped. Only as I turned my eyes back to the place where the stood, I perceived that the Nght was dying out, There was but a narrow row of blue flame above the wick; it faded away, and all was dark. There are degrees of darkness; this seemed to me the last degree, I felt as if I was sunk ina lake of pitch. It I called for help It was not certain that the heavy- sleeping Judge would hear me. Possibly Sir Sdmund was yet awake, but I thought of Edith, and besldes I knew that before assistance could come, detore the door could be Durst, all would be over, Probably my foe was already approaching me; my cry Would be the signal for him to spring upon me. No, my only chance cf escape was in maintaining silence, tnd keeping in Ignorance of my position. If accident brought us 4; contact, I trusted to my physical strength and good luck to be a match for him and his knife in the subsequent struggle, The diamond buckled to my wrist might serve me In the fight; I might stun the fellow with it if fortune only favored my arm. It was a duel between us, and any way, I would sell my life dearly. With this resolve I drew away from the door toward that part of the room where, as I fanoled, the carved press atood. I kept my arms free, my body crouched together, and every muscle tense and ready. I backed a few feet from the door, and then I stopped, as the reflection crossed my mind that I might be backing toward my adversary! Then I regretted ‘that I had left the door, where at least I might have stood safe from a rear attack, I knew. by the ticking of my watch thet the bed was Somewhere behind me, and that I ought to be facing the orle’. window; and as I strained my eyes to catch any rays of llpht that, might exist, I fancied I detected a dim gray geam in theiblackness before nre—poseibly the curtains mask- ing the orlét-were slightly parted, As I continued to etare in that direction, I became con- vinced that this was the fact, and slight though the assur- ance was, it gave ma some feeling of security; in that al- fection I might know of my foe's approach. And, sure enough, at that very moment the gray seam was blocked out, Ho was there, between me and the orfel. My first Im. Dulse was to end the terrible suspense, and spring forward Wpon him; but prudence checked me, He might be close to me, or the might be close to the orlel it was impossible for me to te.l merely by the absence of @ faint light. Suddenly I saw the gray seam of ght again. Gone to the right or left? I knew not.

I am not a coward, yet I own that the terror of the fol- fowing minutes thrills me now as I look back upon It. I calculated that two minutes had passed, when I fancted T heard the bed oreak behind me. Was this one of the false impressions I had promised myself to guard.against, or was the sound caused by the man mounting upon the bed be- hind me? I drew a deep inspiration, resolved to shout my loudest to Brace, who I could hear snoring in the next room, but before the sound had passed my lps a towel was drawn tight upon my face, and my head jerked back against the post behind me. A fold of the towel gagged me completely; it was with diMculty I breathed. I struggled, but in vain, to wrengh myself away; a quick and sure hand had knotted the towel. I threw up my hands to tear the thing off; tn an instant they were enveloped in the thick ourtains, and though the fellow had not sufficient strength to tle them down to my side, he at least baffled my attempts to free my head. r} As I could not release my head, I got my arms down, and tried to seize the rascal's feet, but he kept them beyond my reach; yet I got something ‘by the attempt, for, in groping about; I lald my hand upon the knife which he had thrust in the bed, to have free use of his ‘hands, the better to overcome the resistance of my arms. I felt, by the horn handle, that it was the one Van Hoeck had given him. I shut it up and slipped tt into my pocket. ow," thought I, “If only thews and sinews are con- cerned, we will see who can get the best of it.” And, with redoubled efforts, I struggled to tear down the ‘ded-curtain that-hampered my movements; and, maddened by the diMcuity of respiration, I threw auch force into my efforts that the pole upon which they hung crunched under the rings, and finally came rattling down about us. Would that the lamp had been near, to be smashed by the fall! The noise was too sight to be heard at a distance. My left hand being free, I felt again for the knot of the towel that bound me to the post. A bony hand grasped my wrist, and dragged it over my shoulder, and the next moment I felt something pressed under my nose, and a Nquid trickling through my mustache on to my Ips. It had a sweet taste, and a strong smell of apples, that mount- ed at once to my brain. I seemed to be no longer touching the ground, but whirling round and round through space; my arms dropped by my side, I knew that I was powerless, yet I retained a certain kind of consciousness. I was sensible that the di Mculty of breathing no longer troubled me, I knew that the man was | binding my arms to the post, and I remember thigking, in Tt was not @ sure victory for me, and a partial one might | the bemused manner of a half-intoxicated person, what a fool he must be to bind me when I could no longer make resistance. And when I was safely pinioned, he unbuckled the strap that bound the Great Hesper to my wrist, with- out having to seek for the tongue of the strap, as I myself might have had to do. The fellow actually seemed to seo in the dark, “Well, that's gone,” I sald to myself, the diamond, he will go too.” But he had not yet finished. And after a brief interval, during which he might have been buckling the Great Hesper upon his own wrist, I heard a sound that I knew only too well, Click! It was the spring that locked tHe lon; knife when it was opened. That sound warned me that the end was near.
