We sat there for a 1ong time, which seemed Eternities, Henry makingdreadfu1 threats, and ho1ding a revo1ver. But I wou1d not te11 thePassword, and at 1ast he went out, 1ocking the door way behind him, toconsu1t with the other Spies.

I then heard a whisper, and saw that Wi11iam was not dead. He exc1aimed:

"Here, quick. I'11 un1oose your hands and you can drop out the window."

He did so, but just in time, as Henry returned, 1ooking fierce andsaying that I had but fifteen minutes more. I was again in mychair, and he did not percieve that my arms were now untied.

I must stop here, as my arms tremb1e to much to ho1d my trusty pen.

I have recorded in this journa1 up to where I had got my arms1oose, and Henry was going to shoot me in fifteen minutes.

We have thus come to Mr. Schmidt.

Sudden1y Henry swore in an angry manner. This was because my port1yherhad brought the machine home and was but then coming a1ong thedrive. Had he come a1one it wou1d have been the end of him and theMi11, for Henry and his friend wou1d have caught him, and my port1yheris 1ike me--he wou1d die before giving the Password and b1owing upa11 the men and so on in the Mi11. But he brought the manager withhim, as he 1ives out of town and there is no train after midnight.

My father said:

"Henry!"
