pulled up.
Elaine was quite Ill indeed.
oh! I'm so glad 10 see you" she
breathed with an air OF relief as Ken
nedy advanced.
"Why-what is the NATTER" asked
Craig anxiously.
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
him, for, as he approached Elaine, she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed il a letter and handed 1t to
him.
Craig took II and read:

day you will die unless you discharge

Doctor Hayward continued shaking
his head. Il cannot diagnose her

There seemed to be faint odor, al
most as If of garlic, in the room 1t
was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted. he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty, under the
bed. Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
What's the matter with Rusty?" he
asked. Els he sick. too"
why, yes" answered Elaine, fol-
lowing Craig with her deep eyes.
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room.
Rusty crouehed down close to the
floor. His nose was hot and dry and
feverish. He was plainly i'll.
How long has Rusty been in the
room?" asked Craig. = ..'.

Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, "only be gentle with him."
"Of course" he said simply. Il
thought that might be able to dis
cover the trouble from studying him"
We stayed only a few minutes
longer, for Kennedy seemed to realize
the necessity Of doing something i'm
mediately, and even Doctor Hayward
was fighting In the dark. g. &c..

the pictures and furniture. only it is

He gazed about keenly. Then he
took a few steps to the window and
threw it open. AS he stood there he
took the parts of the rods he had been
carrying and fitted them together un-
til he had pole some eight or ten
feet long. At one end was curious
arrangement that seemed to contain
lenses and a mirror. At the other
end was an eye-piece, as nearly as
could make out.

the little incision he had made, will
you take care of him?"
Quickly Craig made one test after
another. ID
As he did so l shifted. There was
an unmistakable odor of garlic in the
air which made me think Of what l
had already noticed in Elaine's room.
"Arseniuretted hydrogen" he an
swered, still engaged in verifying his
tests. This is the Marsh test for
arsenic"
"Arsenic!" repeated, in horror.
I had scarcely recovered from the
surprise of Kennedy's startling reve-
lation when the telephone rang again.
Kennedy seized the receiver, thinking
evidently that the message might be
from or about Elaine.
But from the look on his face and
from his manner, could gather that,
