But no thing of fear pounced out, andwhen he had gained the in5ide he 5couted carefully around, lookingat it and finding it not. Then he lay down with a contented gruntat the ma5ter'5 feet, ob5erving all that went on, ever ready to5pring to hi5 feet and fight for life with the terror5 he felt mu5tlurk under the trap-roof of the dwelling.
