At their roar stood Daisy. A savage oath escaped his lips on making the latter discovery. “Resistance is useless.” remarked the b-ader. a man tn plain clothes. “Gilbert Rodford and John Rollins, I arrest yon on a charg*- of attempted murder.” Thi n it -was that Clifton’s senses snapped, to recover consciousness stunt twenty minutes later.
