“It will show my former story to have been a lie.”

“Well, ain’t it one?”

Will had made a dash for the door.

Before Morris could interrupt him he had opened it and sprang into the next apartment.

As he did so, and attempted to rush past the men who were there, one of them put his feet out.

As Will stumbled over and fell to the floor he recognized him.

It was Donald Parker, the manager and confidant of Captain Morris.
