"In a carriage?" promptly suggested
Miss Thorne.

Mr.. Grimm moved toward the door

there was only a narrowing of his
eyes at the abruptness and clatter of |
it all And then the electric lights |
in the hall flashed up.
Before Mr.. Grimm stood a man,
framed by the doorway. staring unsee- /

face was haggasd and white as death: 1
his mouth agape as II from exertion,
and the lips bloodless; his eyes were
