"He fell back with a cry."—P. 266.
[Description: 513EAF. Frontispiece. Image of a man climbing into a window as the man inside shoots him with a revolver. The image takes place at night, as the man whose home is being invaded is wearing a long nightshirt and moonlight is streaming through the window. The man inside is leaning one hand against a table, which holds some books, while the other hand holds a gun that he is firing at the intruder. The intruder has one leg through the window but he is falling back out. He clutches one hand against his chest, where he has been shot, the other hand is clutching towards the sill. Below his hand is a knife that has fallen out of his hand.]
