When the first Pickering CLEAN Of
Consciousness returned to him, Alec
Tilton gradually became aware that
somebody vas making dabs at his face
with a wet cloth. By-and-by, he Ian
guidly opened his eyes. and as the
mist cleared away a little, he saw, BY
the light of the full moon, which was
now well up, that the same somebody
was looking down at him with a white,
scared face. Then a prodigious men
tai effort enabled him to realize that
his head was lying in somebody's lap.
"Er-what are you doing2" he asked
as a small and particularly pretty
hand lifted a moistened handkerchief
from his forehead.

after a short walk he saw the object
