"If I had secured him myself we should have found him where we left him." •• How about jrocr own handiwork, then?" retorted Steve, pointing to Mam. "She didn't gat away, did aho?

Black Steve scratched his bead disconsolately. bnt tho operation did not to brighten his idea*.

She sprung to her feet as though a serpent hod bitten her. the moment Steve touched her shoulder. "Are you men of monsters," slio exclaimed, turning suddenly, and facing her two tormentors, "that you talk - of torturing a poor heljiiess woman thus?
