a stifled »cream, a cry for help. Draco

them with a pistol and a second robber
demanded their valuables.
Now Drace played hla part right
gallantly, rushing upon the robbers
with uplifted cane. The follow with
the pistol Bred once—then a blow on
the wrist from Draco's stick sent the
weapon flying. The pain of the blow
enraged the fellow, however, and as
