Chapter XXIX
A NEW METHOD OF OPERATIONS The fall of the two ruffians evidently created a panic among the robbers, for they all retreated from the head of the staircase. They could not see the person who had fired the shots. Fronklyn had used the heavy revolver of the trooper, reserving his carbine for more difficult practice. There was a pause, for no more victims were in sight. "You are in a dangerous position, Lieutenant Lyon," said the sergeant, as soon as Deck rushed into the hall.
