window in dismay.
"I>id it take him down with it?"
asked liickey, voicing the fears of
the rest.
"No!" cried Wili ams, in sudden
comprehension, "but it's knock' d
him on tin* head into kingdom

in a minute!'’ Tin* others stood
appalled. Then* was no way to
gel across that yawning space. To
seek a way through the rooms
would take too much time.
"K«*cp your stream under that
