CHAPTER XI.
ED STILL ON THE JOB.
Tom Quee seemed as much concerned over the sudden knocking on the door as Ed was himself.
"Who can it be?" he breathed.
As Ed did not know he suggested that it might be a good scheme to answer the knock and find out.
"I shall have to do it," whispered Tom Quee as the knocking continued, "but first to get you out of sight. It won't do to have you seen."
Tom Quee opened the door of a closet and pushed Ed inside.
"Don't make a sound if you value your life," he whispered as he closed the door upon him.
An unpleasant half hour followed.
