Sing!" he shouted. "Answer me. Where are Virginia and Dr. von Horn?"

receded, leaving him as ashen as death. His great hand gripped the stock of the
bull whip. A single blow was all that would have been needed to silence Professor
Maxon forever. There was murder in the wounded heart. The man took a step
forward into the room, and then something drew his eyes to a spot upon the wall
just above Professor Maxon's shoulder--it was a photograph of Virginia Maxon.
Without a word Number Thirteen turned upon his heel and passed out into the
storm.
