But as my old grandfather, who aas

say: When a woman will. she will, aad
when she won't she won'(--and there's

but you can't have all your own way. You
have 10 compromise. SO Polly is going TO
have one year-that's enough.
During that year, Raymond, I'm going
TO put her in your care You are older and
more prudent than either Polly or Harry
and Will see that she comes 10 no harm.
Take her anywhere ehe wants to go

Mr. Marvin looked at Gwen, who &C

order TO post q letter. Polly also con-
scented after a moments hesitation. Harry
alone protested and argued. 1t was q
hopeless case and he yielded to over
whelming odds.
This matter settled, Mr. Marvin's mind
returned 10 the mummy ard his curious
delusion that 1t had come to life, While
Owen perused Pauline's story and that
wilful young woman herself tried to cheer
up her disconsolate lover, the old man re-
turned to the mummy. He had searched
for the bracelet on the right wrist. but
after ALL perhaps the Egyptian might have
slipped II onto her left wrist in her hurry
to get back.
"Hnere It IS" he shouted suddenly:
"tbere Il is-the bracelet. She wore II on
her wrizt and he told her to give 1t to
Polly"
Mr. Marvin held in his hand bracelet
OF gcarabs linked together, II looked to
him to be the very one the reincarnated
mummy had worn. Harry md Pauline In
wonder came to him, and 1t was we'll they
did. The excitement and exertion mad
again overstralned his falling energies
He tottered, and they were just IN time TO
save him from a fail.
II was another OF his fainting spells,
ana they lowered him gently into his
chair, But the old man was not uncon'
scous yet. Feebly he repeated TO Paul
line. Wear this bracelot-wear it always
promise
Pauline promised, and slipped It on Ter
wrist without more than glancing at IL
The old mans eyes cltsed and 1t was
clear that this faint was more herious
than his others. Harry. about TO tele'
phone for Dr. Stevens again, was greatly
relieved TO see the physician stride into
the room. There was hardly need OF the
stethescope to tell him the end was near.
A sort Of telepathic signal warned every
one In that mansion that something mao
happened TO the master. When he was
carried upstairs TO his bedroom 1t was
under the eye Of all servants
Even before he was undressed and IN
bed Dr. Stevens had prepared and admin
istered A hypodermic. The patients eye
lids fiuttered and DR. Stevens listened to
the family moving lips.
