"I haw with my own e)on that two went down tho pntli and none returned." "It enmo about in this way. The In Ftant thnt the professor hud disap peared It atruek me what a really ex traordinarily lucky ehauci) fate had placed In my yeay. I knew that Mml arty waa not the only man who had worn my death. There were at least ihroo other whoso desire for eiu;e anco uiion mo .would only he Inei eased by the death of Uiclr leader. They were all moat dangerous men. One or other would certainly Ret me.

Then It would he tlmo for mo to announce that I was atilr In tho land of the living.

On tho whole, then, It was beat Unit 1 should risk tho climb. It wuh not n pleasant business, Watson. Tho fall roared beneath me. I am not a fanciful person, but I give you my word thnt I Hcoined to bear Morlarty't voice screaming at me out of the abyss A mistake would have been fatal Mnro than ouco us tufts of grass came nut lu my hand or my foot slipped In tho wet notches of the rock I thought that I waa gone. Hut I struggled up want, and at last I reached a ledge several feet deep and covered with aoft green moss, where I could Ho un seen lu tho iniwt peiTect comfort 'Micro I waa stretched when )ou, my dear Watson, and all your following were Investigating In the most sympathetic and lueflleleut manner the elrcutn ktancfH of my death.

A huge rock, fulling from above, booitinl past me, struck the path and I mil nihil over Into the chasm. For an Instant I thought thnt It was an accident, hut a moment later, looking up, I saw a man's head against the darkening sUy, and another stone struck the very lodge iiM)ii which 1 was stretched within n foot of my bead Of course Bio meaning of this was obvious, Mo rlarty bad not been alone. A coufeder ate and even that one glance had told mo how dangerous a man that eon fed crate waa -had kept guard while the professor had attacked me. I'rom a distance, uuieen by me, be bad been a witness of hla friend's death nnd of my escape. Ho had watted, and then, making Ida way around to tho top of the cliff, bo bad endeavored to succeed where hla comrade had failed. MI did not take long to tbluk about it, WaUon. Again I aaw that grim faco look over the cliff, and I knew that It waa the preeunror of another atone. I scrambled dowa on to the path. I don't UilnK I could have done it In cold blood.
