I'll smash their faces, though--and if I ever catch...." Breaking the thought off abruptly, he passed down the dim hallway to the door of the club-rooms.

He raised the axe and was about to smash the lock when he espied a key in the keyhole.

The door was not locked.
Lane set down the axe and noiselessly turned the knob and peeped in.
The first room was dark, but the door on the opposite side was ajar, and through it Lane saw the larger lighted room and the shiny floor.
Moving figures crossed the space.

Removing the key, Lane slipped inside the room and locked the door.

Then he tip-toed to the opposite door.
Thesel and Lorna were now so close that Lane could hear them.
"But I thought I had a date with Dick," protested Lorna.
