nance that looked out at him from the
mirror when he turned the gas up in
his room. Even the lips were bloodless
and the eyes dilated, as if by horror.

raised his hand to throw back the hair

to his brow. There was blood upon the
palm.
He staggered backward and sat down,
faint, shuddering, covering The feel
ing still haunted him that there was an
invisible presence just behind his shout

that he could sit with his back squarely
against the wall, he cast fearsome
glance about him. He was alone. The

down, the gas burning brightly-what

He did not at once give way to the
temptation. Not until afternoon had he
fully made up his mind to yield to it.

TO act.
That was the purpose he had in view
when he entered Johns room after Ad-

await Lottie's leaving him there alone
