At the first collar he lighted n mulch, ‘bul lh-a unknown had nh-cady pas.th through the archway. n..- a rustling sound warncd him. At. tho second m‘l- lar the same thing occunvd again: "M a'. tho third. However qull‘lly llvl'xl‘ill Inevod. his matches took Sfllllb lluu- to light and to throw thcir light. around. and although he. seveml times almost caught sight of the figuro hc pursuml. either his vcsta went out in the swift rush he made, or the efforts he used to melt ll alight caused him tr. be too filmy to gain on his active quarry. "This won’t. do," thought the horn of Bolliville, with a grim smile, “1 must try something a little slhnmer than this. That follow simply watches for lllt‘ to light up and then disappears" He considered for u muncut. and then look half a dozen matches from his pockot. llo could hear a heavy lit-cath- ing from the next collar, and award almost to fool the tension of his hiddcn quarry‘s muscles. as he stood lherc in th: darkness. blowing quickly, but probably on tipâ€"loo to spring away at lhr first faint glimmer of Gordon's match. George made his way into the furlhrst corner at the side of the archway, and placed the six matches in a chain on the ground. hood and tail togetlicr. 'i‘hnn lie took off his boots and buttoned up his coat. For one moment. he listened again; but it was evident that his quarry had not moved. and was waiting ox- actly around the corner at the opposite “lie won’t be able to see me.” thought Gor- don. “but he‘ll see lhe flame." He struck a light. and put it lo the head of the first match of tho chain. There was no drought in the cellar, and it was morally certain thatth chain would burn itself out. and give Gordon lime to carry out his plan. Then. softly and silently he stole from the cellar, back the. way he had come, creeping along by the wall out of sight of thc unknown. and leaving the light burning calmly behind him. “If i am not mislakcn, he‘ll watch that light until I get round the other way," thought Gordon. rubbing his hands as he got safely through the ncxt archway, “and than there’ll be a tusnlc." lie was right. He crept sony on his way back around through tho baso~ monl. until at. last a glin‘nncr of light in the distance warned him that he was getting “warm.” as the children say. Creeping gently on. holding his breath. and with a skill horn of long,r practice, George passed through tho lust archway into the cellar whch the un~ known watched. Before him, in the light. cf his little chain of matches. which still burned brightly. he saw the archway around the corner of which he had taken off his boots. and near him. in the dark- est shadow. yet still plainly visible now that he was between George and the light. crouched the mysterious inhabi- tant of the house. George braced his musclcs for the spring. yet even while. hc. did so. he could not help ousting a rather anxious glance at his future advcxsary‘s figure. Even in the darkness of the cellar he could see that the man was huge and burly. a fellow, probably of six feel one or two. and broad in proportion; and as ho crouched there in Sllt‘llCL‘. motion- less. but so evidently ready for a sur- prise. George felt that the struggle wuuld be no child‘s play. and that it was quite possible that in the cud the ftshcrnwn might turn out lo be the fished. He stole forward another step or two and then. even while a sudden start on the. \vnlchcr‘s part told him that he was heard. he sprang upcn him and seized him by the throat. Gordon was. as we have said. paw ticularly strong, but he was nolhing like the weight or size of the man he al~ fucked. and for a moment he found him- self being; flung about the collar an; a bull dog: in lhe old days might have been flung about gripping the “050 of a par~ ticulurly ferocious hull; but like the bull dog. ho had no idea of letting go, and a very good idea of what to do when his Chance came; and after a short time I.thi; aspect of the struggle conuucnccd to alter.
