But just now he wishes to leave, and I cannot allow it. Salwick He won't leave, Miss,” Sambo said. “Red” Riley felt his feet leave the floor, and realized that the g‘ant Sambo had liftea him bodily. Though still weak from his battle in the alley, “Red”. Riley was not the man to submit without opposition in such an emergency. He attempted to kick and strike, and merely sne-| ceeded in exhausting himself. Sambo grinned again, and then laughed aloud, and held the squirming, kick- ing “Red” Riley to one side, out of reach of the blows of his fists and feet. . Without further remark, the giant negro carried “Red” Riley speedily along the hall, up another flight of | stairs, and opened a door.
