I felt as though I had returned from the dead, the nervous reaction so great that I lay for a mdment on the floor whiMi"I had fallen, unable to move, J View I was alone, the space untewirfed, the walls as bare as la that oithel room from which I bad fled. 1 knar this, and in* my exhaustion cared to know no more. Then I staggered to my knees, and. with opened eyed stared curiously about, gathering my wits together. The.'S n* nothing to see but the four walls. I tried the door, and It opened silently, permitting me to glance out into a narrow dark hallway. oncarpeted. 1 could? dlinly discern the top of a flight of stairs leading down to the story below. I sUpp?Hl out, and closed the door softly behind me. being plunged Instantly Into funereal blackness. 1 groped a way forward toward the stairs, guided by a hand against the wall, until the touch of the upper rail assured me of my position. A narrow strip of carpeting?rag I took It to be from the feeling?extended down the ceuter of the stairs, sufficient to muffle any footsteps, and I paused -a moment listening for the slightest noise amid the darkness beneath. All remained still and mysterious; so that I drew forth my shoes from a coat pocket and slipped them on. Twice the hoards creaked ominously under my tread, sounding terrlllc In chat silence, and causing me to hang In suspense over the banister rail, holding my breath In fear of discovery. At last I attained the wider spuce at the bottom, and sought blindly to.explore my surroundings. l>ut for the carpet underfoot, and a small sofa encountered in a recess, I would have believed myself in a deserted bouse. I knew 1 was on the third floor, yet there was no curve In the banisters, showing a way to the next flight of stairs, nor could 1 locate them by any effort. As tbe result of blindly groping aliout. I lost all sense of direction ami must have wandered into a side room through an uudmjwd recess, for 1 suddenly brought up against u table littered with papers and books. Startled by this encounter into a realization that I wad lost In a Strang* house at uu unholy hour of the morn ing, and that the slightest misstep lr. that darkness might result In an utnrrr to awaken every sleeper, for ri few minutes T did not venture to move It any direction. Yet manifestly I couk not remain there Indefinitely, and so blindly choosing a course, I set forth feeling a way cautiously forward unti I first ran into a chair, and then struct one hand against a side wall. I fol lowed this latter- as best I ceuld Inspired by the thonf)ht that If I con tlnued this course long enough I mue attain the opening through which ! had' entered the room. Oo the my hands felt the dhtllnes of a closet door, and, In aimlessly groping aboat encountered a key In the lock. T whs so Inserted as to be extracte< at the touch of my Angers nnd instant l.v a tiny c?y of light shot fort! througli the vacated hole. It was sucl a relief In the heart of that darknesi as to cause me to qulekly bend dowi and endeavor to view the scene within It was evidently a chamber of soini size, and well furnlRhed. rather dlml; Illuminated by a single shaded eleetrl glohe. a handsome green rug on th< floor, and numerous pictures hum about the walls, I could perceive tin outlines of a bed at one side, barel; within the range of the vision, am opposite this an ornate dresser, wltl three mirrors. But what nay eye , rested upon with greater Interest wa a luxurious leather couch beside th further wall on which a woman rested with some sort of covering drepc about her. She lay with face towan the wall, motionless, and to all appeal ances sound asleep. To arouse her was the last, thlm I desired, and I would have slipped th key hack Into the lock, and stolei silently along In the darkness, had sh not suddenly stirred, flinging out on hand as though In fear of some dreatr and turned partially, so that her fac 1 became clearly visible. The aleepe was MHrle (Jessler! For a moment could scarcely credit the discovery, yet there could be no mistake. I r? memhered too well every character ' istlc of the girl, to he deceived. Yet what house was this that sh, 1 should he here? How did It liappei , that we were at the same place? Ha< l slie come voluntarily; or a prisoner ; Had she been tricked Into coming? o brought by force? and was she heh j here helpless to escape? I tried tin i.iloor softly?It was locked. This I coupled with the fact that the key wa ! upon the outside, served to answe the main question. However sin came, she was now being held i prisoner. We must both he in tin same hands, ? In the unscrupuloui grasp of this desperate gang of crlin innls. determined to gain from us a ''arty- tho secret we were suppose* "to share' - r hesitated, hut for only i mm. ?f debating with myself the hes course to pursue, Should I endenvoi U escape from the bouse alone, ant i then letiirn to her rescue with helpl or face the greater danger of attempting to take her with me? The former move Involved expneure of ber whole connection with the 'affair, and 1 wai afraid to take upon myself the responsibility. I knew not who she was, or why she had become Involved in this tnesh oi crime. 1 feared Harris' knowledge, the evidence he might disclose, and what his passion for revenge might drive him to do, If he once found his game decisively blocked. It would be better for me to tell her all i first and then act at her direction. I 1 reinserted the key In the lock , noiselessly, shot beck the bolt and tq*ned ' the ' door.7 stepping s quickly wlthlh to Instantly shut oat the glare of light.

They endeavored ftrst to put roe through the third degree, and wh?n I refused to squeal?aa you knew simply because I possessed no. knowledge to communicate?they resorted to force, and here I am."
