mother to life. He could never rehab-
ilitate himself among decent men and
women. The world had suddenly be-
come too small for him. He must go,
and quickly.
lingering the pistol nervously, he
sat before the mirror and placed 1t
against his temple. The cold steel
gave him a sudden shock. He won
dered If 1t would hurt, and If there
would be instant oblivion. The glare
of the electric light in the room dis
concerted him. 1t occurred to him
that 1t would be easier in the dark.
Reaching out his arm, he turned the
electric button, and the room was i'm
mediately plunged into darkness, ex-
cept for the moonlight which entered
through the windows, imparting a
ghostly aspect to the scene. On the
other side of the room, behind the
screen, red glow from the open fire
fell on the sleeping form of Howard
Jeffries.
Slowly, deliberately, Underwood
raised the pistol to his temple and
fired.

five o'clock in the morning 1t was
evident that Underwood had never
gone to bed. The shooting had &C.
CURED either while the angry dispute
was going on or after the unknown
visitor had departed. The barrel of
the revolver was still warm, showing
that it could only have been dis
charged few moments before Sud-
denly 1t flashed upon him that Under
wood might have committed suicide.
But 1t was useless to stand there
theorizing. Something must be done.
He must alarm the hotel people or
call the police. He felt himself turn
hot and cold by turn as he realized
the serious predicament in which he
himself was placed. If he aroused
the hotel people they would find him
here alone with a dead man. Suspi-
cion would at once be directed at him,
and it might be very difficult for him
to establish his innocence. Who would
believe that he could have fallen
asleep in a bed while a man killed
himself in the same room? 1t sounded
preposterous. The wisest course for
him would be to get away before any
body came.
Quickly he picked up his hat and
made for the door. Just as he was
about to lay hand on the handle there
was the click of a latchkey. Thus
headed off. and not knowing what to
do. he halted in painful suspense.
The door opened and man entered.
He looked as surprised to see How
ard as the latter was to see him. He
was clean-shaven and neatly dressed,
yet did not look the gentleman. His
appearance was rather that of a serv-
ant. All these details flashed before

The man looked astonished at the
question and eyed his interlocutor
closely, as if in doubt as to his identi-

loftily:
II am Ferris, Mr.. Underwood's man,

you a friend of Mr.. Underwood's, sir?"
