peace descended over Judge Charters.
He nodded his head and dozed, his re-
pose deepened, soothed by the good
whisky with which his friend Hop
kins had supplied him. When he
awakened, he had1refiected, he would
be speeding through the desert, miles
from Nokomis. Had he not better I'M

Behind the train. so close that it

mind: 1t hummed as merrily as his

with its monotOnous murmuring. All
the while the snow fell steadily. But
the automobile ran through it snugly
and comfortably; there was rot the
slightest jar or vibration. When the
train quickened it's speed the vehicle

think we'll make our preparations"
Theobald shivered and rose, grasp
ing his instrument case. At that mo-
ment he felt like man bewitched,
helpless, hypnotized by the power Of
his terrible master.
Haynes slowed down to twenty
miles, leaped the machine from the
rail to the roadbed, and, putting on
speed again, caught up with the van
ishing train. Throwing back the
hood Of the runabout, he stood upon
the step moment in the pelting snow,
ran alongside Of the train, and fling
ing a rope moose, one end of which
was fixed to his steering wheel, made
the runabout fast. He leaped aboard
the train, and standing on the back
platform, he strained at the rope,
working it until the runabout shifted
her course, caught the rail again and
ran on smoothly behind. Then, at his

signal his companion leaped aboard,
instrument case in hand.
TO force the door of the car was the
work of few moments. Then the
two men crept cautiously inside. Judge
Charters was sleeping profoundly in
his chair, his drained glass by his side,
his hands folded across his abdomen
and smile of perfect happiness upon
his face. He did not stir as they ap-
preached, but snored in drunken slum-
Der.
Haynes took the cigar box from the
table, selected perfecto, lit it, and
began to smoke. The doctor shook his
head nervously when his companion
offered him one. He was agog to fin
ish his work and be gone. Haynes
smiled indulgently, and seeing that
Theobald was almost overcome by the
tension, opened his case and drew out
the bottle Of chloroform. He crumpled
up his handkerchief, saturated it, and
clapped it over the Judges face.
A sigh, a STRAND then the
Judges breathing deepened and be-
came stertorous and slow A deathly
pallor began to overspread his face.
When Haynes removed the handker-
chief at last he lay profoundly still
"How long win it last?" asked John
Haynes coolly.
Fifteen minutes" said Theobald,
wringing his hands.
'That will be time enough"

'eThen get to work"
He turned aside and seating him
self In the chair, took upNa magazine
and read. Inside he saw picture of
his gyroscope attached to an invalid
chair. "The devil-chair," the editors
had captioned it, and Haynes read the
article with a quiet chuckle. It was
right in its statements, embodying as
it did the principle Of the gyroscope
correctly. But it did not mention the

it to the gasoline engine which con-
trolled it; nor had the author the
least conception of the personality Of

depicted him. Haynes was glad Of
these things, for as long as the ma

thought-and smiled. He did not
turn his head. He was a judge of
men.

minutes later, and Haynes arose. At
the first sight he started back in
sheer amazement; then laughed up
] roariously at the grim humor of the
situation For Theobald had done his
work too well. The sight of the face
Of his old enemy had filled Haynes
with scarcely controllable anger. but
now-it was a different man. For
Theobald had almost bloodlessly made
deft little cuts in certain facial mus
cles which made the cheeks hang
habby and loose; he had touched tiny
muscles about the eyes and eyelids
which had altered the whole aspect
of the judges face, he had filed in
the sagging flesh under the eyes with
parafin, even now hardening and not
distinguishable from healthy tissue;
he had given an upward turn to the
eyebrows and scowling droop to
the mouth; and lastly he had shipped
| one infinitely small muscle in the
sclerotic membrane of the eye which
made Charters eyes, when the lids
were lifted, diverge extravagantly.

mud-caked painters brush, which he
moistened in the snow outside the car.
They stripped Judge Charters Of his
clothes, which they threw into the
runabout, and attired him in the bun

and hands with mud from the brush,

tramp that ever begged for aims.
Outside q flash OF lights lit up the
gloom and disappeared behind them.
The train ran through the station
and began to ascend a grade.
THAT must be the Blue River" said
Haynes, pointing out into the dark
ness. "This is the steepest grade of
the line. At the top we uncouple her.
Wake him, Theobald."
The doctor shook the sleeping man.
