IN A LION'S DEN Upon one side of the lane which the fugitives had entered ran a high wall.

Upon the other was a very large mansion.

Its lower windows were five feet from the ground.

As the lads ran they saw an open window.
Without a moment's hesitation they placed their hands on the sill, threw themselves into it, and flung down the window.

There was a scream as they entered, followed by an exclamation in English.
