Gordon took his decision. lie would lzunt Usher down now, and he would never rest until he had him in the hands of justice. ‘ine man was a nuu‘dcrer. and he had attempted Gordon‘s own life; but more than that was in it. The vilâ€" lain had tried to kill Vivienne Gaunt, and for that. Gordon was determined he should pay dearly. _ Without waiting for Slcrrcll‘s Iii-1p, or fir anyone to accompany him. he hur- ried from the house: He know, thanks to the “Stout's” intelligent son, where the gambler was milking for. and, con- fluent in his ability to hold his own in a struggle with him, he set out in DUI" SUI . liiorhuiutcly, he had not far to go be- fore he met with an unoccupied han- som, and, springing into it, ordered the -, driver to take him back to St. George‘s Road. , It was probable, Of course, that the gnmblé‘r would not intend to pay a long Itlr Gaunt, but Gordon had started very quickly on his track; the cab he had hired was well horscd, and with any luck at all Gordon felt that he should arrive at his destination almost as soon as the man he pursued. As the cabman made his way city- , wards through the crowded streets, Gor- ‘ don had time to think over the events of the‘past few hours. and to congratulate himself upon his meeting with the ex- corporal. It was to him that he owed all the success which he had met with up -to nowâ€"his discovery oer.

Should the boy have [made a mistake, or Usher have changed his plans, the position would become 'a serious one for the (taunts. For their safety it was absolutely .necessary that ' Usher should be cap- - timed; and-Gordon felt, as he drcwncar to. his destination, how much depended on, the next step and his own ability to carry the affair through. He stopped the cab and dismissed it at some distance from the door of the warehouse. He did not think it would br advisable to bring the cabman into an affair like this and enlist. his ser- vices; he felt he would prefer to take the risk of acting by himself; and for the present he had no immediate plan of, actions There was no one to be seen near the warehouse doors or in the entrance, as Cordon cautiously approached; and he _ fade his way inside, wondering who- t or be was too late, and if the gain- ble ‘ had already been and gone. B t at the foot of the stairs he stop- ped, arrested by the sight of one or two drops of blood which stained the wood- work,iand had evidently but freshly fallen there. He remembered that Usher had been wounded by St/errett's shot, and that, in all probability, he had not yet. time to attend to the wound. Those bloodstains must. mean that the gam- .lcr had reached the place, and was rare in the rooms above. Gordon listened a moment, and then ca tiously mounted the stairs. A‘ he climbed, the noises of the ani- mal. came down to him and the strong scent‘ of them asailed his nostrils. Reaching the door he stopped and peered through the cracked panels. The room beyond was, as it had been before. i almost in darkness, but to his relief he could see Iisher'scatcd on the floor not i far from him; and for a second he stood and watched him. The gambler was engaged in winding a strip of linen around his leg, from I which he had raised the trousers, and \‘ Gordon could see, from the expr£&ion of his face, that the operation was a painful one. [to was sigh'mg heavily, nd every now and then he. would cease its work to wipe his forehead with his ‘ i ‘andkerchicf. “There ’s not much fight let in him now," Gordon thought. “The bit to! he has got a worse wound than he ave her." And taming the handle, he entered the room. Usher bad evidently not in the least anticipated the arrival of anyone thore, fir he started violently as the door opened, and half rose to his feet. Then, on recognizing Gordon. hc sank back again with his llxcd white face and cold green eyes upon him.

A contemptuous laugh from the dark ct‘irncr by the tiger‘s cage answcrcd him, and he could hear the gambler moving stealthily, but he could not. make out. what he was doing. This cautious movement, how-ever, aroused his sus- picion: and he stepped forward. And then Usher‘s laugh was explained, for, to his (liSmay, Gordon saw that he was almost. in safety. lly the side of the tiger‘s cage. between the side and the wall of the room, was a narrow passage. At the corner of the cage at the beginning of this passage was the gate which led into the animal's den. While Gordon had been hesitating, fisher had opened this gate and swung it round to meet a post in the opposite entrance to the passage; and was safe. For he stood now in the narrow alley with the shut gate betvvecn him and Gor- don. To get to the gate Gordon musto pass before the open door of the tigers cage, and at the end of the alley In which disher stood, was a door with which the gambler was already fum- bling, and which instinctively Gordon felt led out of the building. lie looked at the tiger. The brute, dis- turbed by the stealthy opening of its door, had risen, and with its head low- ered was peering out. from imder its flat forehead at Gordon, who stared back, startled and paralyzed. For a second‘ the situation lasted: and then Gordon pulled himself together. In another moment Usher would have succeeded in opening the door, and would be gone. This brute, kept in that dark and narrow cage, must be cowcd and half tame, he might get by in safe. ty; at all events, he decided to risk it, and,» keeping his eye upon , the still motionless animal, be commenced to move forward. All might have gone. well, for he was already almost past. the door, when sudâ€" denly his foot caught in the rough un- even planks of the flooring, and he stumbled forward, nearly touching the cage in his efforts to save himself. The noise he made and his wild Gluten attire air, roused the tiger, and, bound- ing forward. it stood ‘for a Second at. the door of the cage, swishing its great fall furiously and glaring. Then, as Gordon drew himself quickly to his feet, it leaped down to the floor of the room and sprang at him. With the quickness of lightning, Gor- don darted aside and evaded the first spring. He hurled himself at the gate which Usher had fastened, but it did not give; and the next. second, vilh a laugh of triumph, the gambler had opened the door he was struggling with and had vanished. Gordon had scarcely time to turn again before the tiger struck at him furiously as he darted aside again. and this time the huge claws caught his coat and rip- pec‘ it frOm top to bottom. leaving the. garment in shreds and blood dripping from the lacerated flesh. The next spring _ would be the last, Gordon knew, but even as he dimest abandoned hope, his eye was caught by the now wide open entrance to the tigcr’s cage.

There. was no gate to slam behind him there, but without hesitating, he darted towards the narrow grille which separated the ea e be was in from the next one. ‘ If there is nothing there, I am saved," he thought; and flying up the grille, ho liurled himself through it, and dashed it down behind him. “Thank God," he cried, sinking on the floor breathless; for the cage was. empty. And then, to his relief, he heard men's voicos at the door of the room. The door opened and Someone looked in; shutting it. again suddenly after him. “Good Gord, Bill, the tigers got out." a voice said, and thm came a moment‘s silence.

Then the voice spoke again : "Where‘s the tiger?" Gordon peered out through the bars of the cage. “Over in the corner opl‘iosite the door," he said.

Gordon lifted the piece of rugged flesh which was under a sack in the corner of the cage, and turned. to the little grille by which he had entered. “Hang it down," called out the first man, warningly. “Let her see it. There ain‘t no more if that's wasted." Gordon complied with the directions g‘ven him. The noise of the opening grille had already attracted the tigcr‘o attention, and as Gordon's hand passed through it, she sprang fonvard. lie threw the meat down fairly into the cen- t:c of the cage, and drew his hand back quickly. For a second the tiger remained mo- tionless, and then with a bowl she darted into the cage, and seizing the meat strode furiously up and down.

There is a close similarity between cage where the tiger was, the huge brute stopped, and with the meat still in its mouth, look-ed at him, growling fur- iously. Gordon who could see the scene from where he crouched, held his breath in anxiety. He had remembered that the man could not know the gate was re versed, and locked new against the wall. He had probably planned to seize ii. and stain it to. This was now impos- sible. for it must be unlocked first. Would the man have time to do it be- fore the tiger sprang upon him; or would he lose his head and rush back to the door, pursqu by the beast?
