Meanwhile there was another ele- ment in the situation which Alt Singh had no knowledge of. By car and motorboat the forces of the State were hurrying to that dreary marsh. Police Capt.

Running along fearlessly, he came to All Singh's room, whence an open door ied Into the torture cham- ber. Bronson and Kemp were close nind, and the ghastly apartment s soon filled with amazed and hor- rifled men. They examined the rack and the motor, and Manning picked up a woman's comb from the plat- form. On such frail foundations did the two friends bulld a new edifice of hope. And the search of that marvel- ous underground residence was re- sumed, There were evidenc in plenty of recent habitation; but, other than the gagged and bound Capt Downtng, no living soul, elther man or woman, could be found, In the back part of the upper house a detective had discovered the broken wire and the rope of sheets by which May Manning escaped. None knew that an accident so terrifying at the time was providential in its effect, be- cause the dynamo once more ceased to work, and Hong Kong Harry was saved, temporarily at any rate, from the retribution planned by All Singh, Another man, stamping upon some boards at the ond of a passage, found that they emitted a hollow sound, Tearing them aside the police peered down into a tunnel, Manning was advised immediately, Scenario ahd N “It was I, dear one, who snatched you fron the rack,"’ he vowed p: ‘You must see now that I an your slave I risked death for your sake.
