Promptly at eight o'clock Walpole had arrived, and gone straight to the room where Peter Ordway sat propped up on a sofa.

He had barely stepped into the hallway when there came a reverberating crash as of a revolver shot from the room where Peter Ordway and his secretary were.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
