but farther back there was always
more shadow. and farther back still
more.
The man was sitting cross legged on
a low divan. his hands crossed in front
of him and hanging Imply between
his knees. His clothing l could see but
vaguely, for it was merged into the
darkness about him, but his hands
stood GU white against it. He was
staring straight at the crystal, with

stone. The glow from the sphere

the strong. curved nose, the full lips

to me that it returned my stare with
malignant eyes screened by a pair of

To and fro it swung. to and fro, its
staring eyes fixed upon the sphere, its

The very soul within me trembled
as l gaZed at those unwinking eyes.
What did they see in the sphere? What
was passing in that inscrutable brain?
Could it. too, reconstruct the past. read
the mysteries of the future.
Some awful power. greater than my

from the darkness: l felt them drag

ing stronger and stronger.
With something very like a Shrek
of terror, ! tore myself away, out of

and down them into the lighted room
below.
And as l stood there, gasping for
breath, Godfrey followed me, and
saw that his face. too, was livid.

Miss Vauhan's condition. Her eyes

a severe nervous tremor. Godfrey's
face was very grave as he looked at
her.

doned because of a bar at Atlantic
