the door and opened it. Her face was
flushed.
There's that other man and a po-
liceman outside" she said. Shall 1
let them in?"
"Outside?" questioned DR.. Furnivall,
releasing Won Castle from his gaze and
arching his eyebrows a trife humor-
ously.
Yes, sir, if you please, sir. outside.

he added to Won Castle, who was at
the moment looking dazedly around.
/ Instantly he arose.
Not while Miss Englishs fate is I'M

movement he turned the key in the
doorlock and with another he pulled

chair and laughed. His laugh was
wholesome and free, and the young
man regarded him in some surprise.
But he cooked his revolver at the same
time.

Furniyall. That sort of thing may do
in German universities, among your
light-headed students, but not here.

happened to her, I will shoot you like

His voice trailed away to silence.
His eyes took on a deeply retrospective
expression, the hand that held the re-
VOlVer dropped to his side. He stood
like a tree, firm rooted, strong, hand
some, but helpless. His gaze seemed to
turn in upon itself a. the leaves of the
tree curl inward blindly.

He complied at once, feeling uner-
