DR.. Fitzgerald, despite his eloquent

Z the officers proceeded to make investi-

The footman ran off for the doctor
and the others busted themselves over
Brett. They tried to stop the flow of
blood with bandages, and loosened the
clothes round his neck. Then they could
only wait for the arrival Of the doctor.

after rapid examination, he shook his
head. It was bad case, he said, if not

sick at heart to realize the horror of the
situation-too dazed to suffer much.
She passed restless night, and it was
in the early hours of the morning be
fore nature asserted herself and she fell
into deep sleep.
She awoke clearly and acutely living
in the present, with sharp conscious
ness that was agony. There was no
gradual piecing together of events, but
there came the sudden, vivid recollec-

previous day.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the
entrance of Sally with meal. The old
bag vouchsafed no remark as she placed
l5it on the table, but at once departed,
and the door was instantly locked be-
hind her. Mabel forced herself to eat.
Ehen she investigated the resources of
her prison.
The window was boarded up over the
lower hall, and the upper portion show
ed that it was barred behind. There
was small fireplace with narrow
mantelpiece adorned with gaudy orna-
ments. There were two chairs with
stumbled antimacassars, the very sight
of which made her shudder, recalling
as they did the struggle Of the previous
day. The only other furniture in the
room were the horsehair sofa on which
she had spent the night and table COW
eyed with a dirty red cloth. A pile Of
boxes and an empty hamper were push

All the way home that horrible cry

was shouted out, and at every corner
