Bertio was strong and desperate; the

-and shivered beneath the blows of the
heavy piece of timber which he used as
it battering ram, and presently tne
briekwork gave way,
Ile had only just time to drop the
timber and drag Joan out of the way
when a portion of the wall fell in, a
cloud of dust mingling with the smoke
which wae now rendering their place of

"Where does this lead? It is a kind of

the noise of falling beams and the rear-

of upturned faces which shown fitfully
in the red •and yellow glare.
As they earne to the window the
rowel caught sight of them, and a roar,
which nettled to shake the tottering
theatre, rose from thousands of throats,
as hands were raised ad ponited to the
two figures at the window.
"They see us!" said Bertie.
"Meek God!" murmured dome "They
will put the escape tip! Ali, it is
none too soon," and she laughed
hysterically tend put her hend to her
throat, as she felt eltokina, with the in-
