The Wrong Twin by Mary E. Ropes

BUT in wrenching himself free in his effort to escape, the man threw / Mr. Ellis down, and the latter, in falling, struck his head violently / against the sharp corner of a carved chiffonier, and lay where he fell, / without sound or motion.

By this time the whole household was roused, and Miss Burnard at once / took the direction of affairs. The master of the house was carried / to his bed, and a messenger was despatched for the surgeon. In the / confusion no one noticed that Dina had vanished, so that wholly / unobserved she crept into the jungle walk, and in a moment came upon / the tall burglar leaning up against a tree and panting heavily.
