Kuih. on the other end of the wire, turned u whito face toward her father. "It's huppened," she said dully. Gordon's eyelids flickered. He blinked snasmndicallV In the bright shire of the light.

There was a great lump there, and something wet. Carlotta smiled, then, tenderly and brushed her lips against his bead where it throbbed. "Uarllng," she breathed, "you are all right.'" "I I don't know," said Gordon shakily. "My head" Then he saw the others grouped buck of Carlotta; his young daugh ter Helene, pule and trembling; Iorls, while-faced hut controlled; Johnson the seivant; Nelson the squat, broad-shouldered Swede In charge of the night outposts; and his son David, who now pushed closer and bent over htm. "You must have struck your head on the edge of that table," David said. He indicated an over turned table beBlde the bed. It i was the heavy, square bed bide ta ble on which the reudlug-tump had stood. The broken lamp lay beside it. "But there there was a shot," Gordon said, his mind cleuriug. Ilo sat bolt upright quickly, ignoring j farlotta's hands, glunciug quickly, at Nelson. "Nelson!" he suid. "You caught the fellow?" Nelson shook his head, puzzled. "None of the boys saw a soul,", he said. . Carlotta gently but insistently I forced Gordon back onto the pil low.

"The phone," he said harshly. "The phone. Was It off the hook?" "Why I don't know," said Da vid. "Johnson got here first. Did you notice, Johnson?" "Yes sir," said Johnson. "It was off the hook." "Now, Paul, you lie back and rest," Carlotta Interposed. "What has the phone got to do " "Was anyone on the wire?" Gor don Interrupted, addressing his son. "Dad, I I don't know," David confessed.
