noise Of hurTving feet that echoed
strangely from the arched roof as the

floor Of the long hall. A rush of feet

rible stiffness ut that hour. was star

guard, which was never called III save
when the patrol who gided around the
corridors in slippered feet discovered
some suicide. Many a heartbroken man

his despair ended his misery thus.
While wondering who the unfortunate

the stairway leading to my landing, and
then a sudden thrill shot through me as
