Beyond the turning of the lane into
the highway Edgar Van Wyck kept on
with slow and painful steps.
1t was remembered afterward by two
acquaintances that they met him, one
walking and one riding. They said he
looked dazed and walked as though he
were sick. Each accosted him, but he
said nothing and made no sign to show
that he recognized them.
When there was no living thing in
sight he cast himself down under a
ieafy tree by the roadside, and for an
hour he lay there as if dead.
The sun was almost at meridian when
he awoke. His temples throbbed, his
throat was parched, his syeballs seemed
bursting from his head: but the phys
