I had locked the door befure going into bed, and now fastened it; but on attempting to open it, found that I could not do so. It was evidently fastened outside; but for what purpose ? Had it beea done to prevent me trom going to the assistance of the pedlar ? That cry,that pisto!-shot—poor Jacoby must have been murdered in his bed, and it would doubtiess be my turn next!
