"Come across.

What's your name and where do you come from?
As you didn't get anything out of there, maybe we'll be easy with you if you talk quick." "Let me suggest, if I may," said the man in a strangely quiet and restrained tone, "that you get off my stomach.

This conversation can just as well be conducted under more comfortable conditions." Perry blinked and Wink viewed the captive doubtfully.
"Promise not to try to run ?" demanded Perry.
"I have no intention of running, thanks." The robber carefully dusted his clothes as he arose and then felt anxiously of a bruised elbow.
"Now, if you will inform me what this--this murderous assault means I shall be greatly obliged to you." "Suppose you tell us what you were doing at that safe ?" said Perry sternly.
"Is that any of your business ?" asked the other.

It was evident that he was losing his temper again, and Wink drew a step nearer.

"I presume I have a perfect right to open my own safe! What I wish to know--" "Your own safe!" gasped Perry.
