sire to shrek aloud. Every succeeding
wave of thought overwhelmed me with
new terrOr-for alas! understood too
we'll that to think, in my condition, was

steps. I bounded like a madman
through the crowded lIoroughfares.
But now the populace took alarm and
pursued. Then-then I felt the consum-
nation Of my Fate. Could | have torn
out my tongue would have done it.
But rough voice from some member of
the crowd now resounded in my ears,

arm. I turned-I gasped for breath,
for moment 1 experienced all the
pangs of suffocation-I became blind
and deaf and giddy and at this instant
il was no mortal hand, l knew, that
struck me violently, with broad and
massive palm, upon the back. At that
blow the long-imprisoned secret burst
forth from my soul.

enunciation, but with emphasis and
passionate hurry, as if in dread of inter-
ruption before concluding the brief but
pregnant sentences that consigned me to
