would you like to see it go little
further?" asked Zeno, laughing. He slip
ped his hand to his mouth, Frost heard
a slight clicking sound, and there was
his companion grinning at him with a
horrible gap-toothed laugh, which startled
him SO that he recoiled pace OF two.
Zeno laughed triumphantly and noisily.
"And now" he said, when his laugh was
over, will you introduce me to Dob
roski?" His voice had undergone great
change, and Kissed and whistled through
the gaps in his teeth like that of an old

Frost stared at him still, as if he were
fascinated. This gets me down." he
said. This gets me down, and kicks
me while I'm down. Wait a Bit" he said,
somewhat recovering from his surprise ;

open a small drawer, and taking from it a
photograph Of considerable size, threw it
on the table. Zeno took it, and after the

expression of amazement almost as com

show it to you to warn you off. There
isn't man in the neighborhood here that
hasn't seen it and studied it. There
isn't one os any note among them that
hasn't got Il copy of it."

AT that instant there came LOUD
