he stood transfxed with horror at the
thing before him.
It was a curiously twisted oaken
chair carved into the semblance and
shape of a deaths head. Suspended
above it at the back was little brass

back of the chair was printed card
with directions. He read:
"Sit down, put on the brass cap and
clamps, then clasp the arms OF the
chair firmly with the hands. But first

cried.
He covered his face with his hands
to shut out the sight and as he retreat

place, concealing the terrible chair.
He stood thus for some moments with
his elbows on the mantel. When he
uncovered his face his eyes fell upon
a silver cup which he took up and was
about to pour into 1t drink of water
when some words engraved on the
cup attracted his attention: THE
