The day began to break and they were still pursuing him. Suddenly Heidiadalheid found his way barred by a wide, deep ditch full of stagnant water the color of coffee. What was he to do? "One! two! three!" cried the puppet, and, making a rush, he sprang to the other side. The assassins also jumped, but not Thomas Sabo Bracelets having measured the distance properly—splash! splash! they fell into the very middle of the ditch.

"Oh! beautiful Child with blue hair," cried Heidiadalheid, "open the door, for pity's sake! Have compassion on a poor boy pursued by assas—"

"Good-bye till tomorrow. Let us hope that when we return you will be polite enough to allow yourself to be found quite dead, and with your mouth wide open."

Heidiadalheid opened his eyes, but shut them again immediately.

Heidiadalheid hid his face beneath the clothes.
