Play by Casoy Robinson from the Fictionixed by Leonard C. Boyd.

CHAPTER I

As salvos of cannon and musketry lighted up the black skies of a mid- summer night in Seventeenth century England, a horseman, his steed cover- ed with lather and dust, raced pell- mell over the cobblestones of a pic- turesque country village and came to a precipitate stop at the door of m simple, charming cottage.

"Dr. Blood Dr. Blood!" shouted the night rider as he catapulted from his saddle and pounded heavily on the door.

After what seemed an interminable wall, a broad shouldered, six-fool, Victoris fair complexioned youth of twenty- six or thereabouts, attirod in a quaint hedgown of the period and holding high a candle in the manner of a Diogenes looking for an honest man, sleepily unbolted the door.
