CHAPTER XXVI.
BULL BLAIR’S ESCAPE.
Bull Blair’s attack was so sudden and unexpected that Frank Hare found himself stretched on the floor before he well knew what had happened.
“Curse you, you shall never leave this room alive.”
Blair produced an ugly-looking knife.
“You thought you had me nice,” he added; “and so you did at first.”
The brute fell on one knee. At that moment he found himself covered by the detective’s revolver.
“Drop that knife or I will send you to the devil, your master.”
Bull arose hastily to his feet.
Hare did likewise.
“Are you going to drop that knife?” said Frank sternly.
