CHAPTER VII.
The FACE Appears AGAIN.

"1 acc appears again.
Since late Tuesday night, Rudolph
Van Vechten's apartments in the Ken
more mad reeked with iodoform, and in
various other ways their presentment
was not dissimilar to a hospital ward
The one Earring note was BarnicIe,
whose righteousness was become SO
accentuated that he might have per
sonified Death-or, at least. the un-
dertaker-waiting only until doctor
and nurse were through, to perform
his OWE peculiar and melancholy Of
hces Barnicle never would have been
tolerated about hospital.
Early Thursday morning Van vech-
ten had insisted to such good purpose
that he was able to rise, don his
clothes and be shaved. that at eight
o'clock he was reclining upon the dav-
export in his livingroom, and the
nurse was out taking a much needed
airing. Such portions of his bandaged
features as were visible were discol-
ored. and cloth saturated with some
soothing lotion hid his swollen eyes.
All the hideous details OF the cpl
sode in the Silent House remained in
his memory like the aftermath of a
terrifying nightmare How. late at
night. his senses had returned to him:
how he had contrived to drag his bat
tered body down the stairs. fainting
more than once with pain and weak
ness; how he had been found upon
the walk by passing policeman, who,
recognizing him, was persuaded to
keep his mouth shut and convey him
TO his rooms-each revolving particu
lar stuck persistently in his mind.
By which it might be inferred that
not the least of his present suffering
might be ascrlbed to nervous shock
At the hour mentioned, he was
sleeping fitfully after a restless night
He frequently started broad awake,
when memory invaded his slumbers.
During the period since Tuesday
Barnicle had continued in a state of
perturbation; for he had been strictly
charged to inform all callers that his
employer was not in town, and there
had been numerous urgent telephone
calls for the young man. The bells were
now muffied, and Barnicie was required
to lend the instrument a constant at
tentive ear, since only faint buzz
announced a signal
The young mans uncle, Mr.. Theo-
dore Van Vechten-for whom Barnicle
entertained sentiments only of the
highest esteem and respect-had been
particularly insistent for definite in
to the extreme of threatening to come
up and wiring Barnicle's neck; which
had further depressing effect upon
the excellent Wallets spirits.
