Let me, who have not any child to die,

But, ahi SO sadder than yourselves am

Despite his efforts, the proprietor
could not get rid of the sense of loneli-
ness and danger which possessed him.
The clock had stopped, and the only
sound audible was the swapping of the
cxtinguished Goals in the CRATE. He
crossed over TO the mantelpiece, and,
taking oat his watch, wound the clock
up. Then he heard something else.
With great care he laid the key softly
on the mantelshelf, and listened in
tently. The clock was now aggressive
ly audible, so that he opened the case
again. and putting his finger against the
pendulum, stopped it. Then he drew
his revolver and cooked il, and, with
his set face turned toward the door and
his lips parted. waited.

voice.
Then he stepped back into the room
and lit the lamp. "Tll get TO bed," he
said. grimly: "I've got the horrors"
He left the gas burning. and with the
lamp in his left hand and the pistol in
his right slowly assembled tho stairs.
