Neither lock nor bolt nor even human life must stand in the way of our search now that we have begun it!" He heard them coming towards the door. Instinctively he shrank back, and his heart stood still as he thought of what would happen if the man chanced to turn the little ray of his lamp on him. NEITHER LOCK NOR BOLT NOR EVEN HUMAN LIFE MUST STAND IN THE WAY OF OUR SEARCH NOW THAT WE HAVE BEGUN IT HE HEARD THEM COMING BACK TOWARDS THE DOOR INSTINCTIVELY HE SHRANK BACK AND HIS HEART STOOD STILL AS HE THOUGHT OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE MAN CHANCED TO TURN THE LITTLE RAY OF HIS LAMP ON HIM

He felt his way silently and softly along the wall, and as he did so his hand touched the electric switch. Should he turn the light on and alarm the house? Whoever was there had "broken and entered" after midnight, and was therefore outside the law. No, he would not do that. If what he had seen was true, the intruders believed that their mission was a sacred one. No doubt the man was armed, and perhaps the woman also, and what would a knife-stab mean to them on such a desperate quest?

The man had a little electric lamp in his hand and was flashing the slender rays all over the room. He drew his head back quickly as he heard him say: "There is nothing here, Anat. Come, let us try the next room.
