Unconsciously one of the groping hands had come in contact with the soft leather cover of a book which lay on the table.,Was he to die, trapped like a rat? Was this the end of his adventure? It looked very much like it. But something would not let him give up. He would make one more attempt for his life and liberty.,Fer our reapin’ bye ’n’ bye.”,“Yes, far out against the sky.”，"Well, but is that altogether a falsehood?
