The man picked himself up, and the

and firmness were making them ashamed
of themelves.
Gaunt deliberately shot the bolt in
the door; and leaned against it.
"Look to the ladies!" he said to the
men. "'The trouble may be over in a few.

,"There's not much use in crying, is there?
And it'svery likely that we shall all be

The veseel still rooked in the same curi-

Gaunt what had happened.

Ages seemed to pass while he stood
there, holding the crowd by the power of
