But you mustn't talk that way, soothed his

After moment or two Of dead silence, she
turned to note the effect OF her admOnitlon. and
found the small boy in the crib at her side in what
appeared to be a violent CONFUSION. His face
was distorted the most hideous fashion. and his
features relaxed only to assume still more horr-
ole form. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, ana
his tongue from time to time shot snake-like out
of his mouth.
