He told me that the creature cried and pleaded for forgiveness, and promised amendment for the future. And Mr. Knapp believed him. Yet that very night you were assailed with Luella in Chinatown." The truth flashed on me. The groans and cries behind the locked door in Doddridge Knapp's office, the voices which were like to one man pleading and arguing with himself, were all explained.
Then I reflected that the presence of Doddridge Knapp's daughter was a protection against an attack from Doddridge Knapp's agents, and I followed the party into the heathen temple without further apprehensions.
I had, to be sure, vaguely foreseen the danger to come from meeting them, but I had been confident that it would be easy to avoid them. And now, in the face of the emergency, my resources had failed me, and I was walking into Mrs. Knapp's reception-room without the glimmer of an idea of how I should find my way out. Two women rose to greet me as I entered the room.
What was behind them? I wondered. Was there anything in Doddridge Knapp's room that bore on the mystery of the hidden boy, or would give the clue to the murder of Henry Wilton? As I gazed on the panels the questions became more and more insistent. Was it not my duty to find the answer? The task brought my mind to revolt. Yet the thought grew on me that it was necessary to my task.
Knapp's book of great interest and special value. DONALD HANKEY Author of "A Student in Arms" Letters of Donald Hankey "As a further revelation of the personality of the man who wrote 'A Student in Arms, these personal letters possess an interest difficult to overestimate.

Kits and cans, ballast and blocks, spare spars and tackle, higgledy-piggledy overboard they went, some on the shingle, some splashing into the tide, to be snatched and tumbled and ducked. As yet they were not discovered. Kit working madly in the belly of the boat could see nothing; but afar he could hear the Parson's terrible roar, and Knapp's crisp, "Ow's that-a-tat, ow's that?"
"I marvel at you yet. You have carried off your part well." "Not well enough, it seems, to deceive you," I said, a little bitterly. "You should not have expected to deceive me," said Mrs. Knapp. "But you can imagine the shock I had when I saw that it was not Henry Wilton who had come among us that first night when I called you from Mr. Knapp's room."
Lincoln stared hard at him. "D'ye mean it?" "You bet I do! I can put in a horse. Bert Jenks will lend us his boat put it right on in place of the wagon box and we can borrow Captain Knapp's tent. We'll get Rance to go, too." "I'm with you," said Lincoln, leaping down, his face aglow with the idea. "But won't you go up and break it gently to the boss?
