Then the hysterical woman began
again:
al couldn't hear what she was saying.
But the other person, whoever it was
and l never heard any voice like that be-
fore,-just kept saying, "See!- See!-
See" to raise your hair. And after that,

Doctor cried Bishop again, 4for
Gods sake! Never mind the lights. Never
mind anything else. Get those boys up
here and help me force door,"
"We're comm, boss; we'll be right
there!"
And soon, stumbling and jostling one
another, half dozen West Indian hall
men and elevator-boys were putting them
selves against all the doors.
They moved them no more than had
the Judge himself.
al guess we sure got to have some tools
for it, boss" one of them gasped. "Its
job for the superintendent or the engineer"
@Get them then,' cried the Judge.
"Get Mem!"
In his turn, the Doctor began to call:
"Mrs. Fisher! Mrs. Fisher!'
But they had given up hope of getting
any answer.
OUTSIDE, another elevator was stop
ping. And this time came new
voice, painting and anxious:
"Why, l was here only an hour ago.
And I've just found that an envelop-
some money she'd left for me, for our Set
tlement-had been tempered with. But
I'd made up my mind-Td come back,
anyway. Something was queer when l
was here. Only wouldn't let myself
believe it. never saw her And just
when l was leaving"
The Doctor turned in amazement,
stirred by certain familiarity in the
voice. In the thick gloom he made out
a white, firm face. The newcomer who
was protesting so earnestly that he had
left Mrs. Fishers apartment only an hour
before was Walter Vikings.
The minutes seemed to the Judge like
hours. How inefficient humanity is when
those doors might be happening God
only knew what, and they were forced to
stand there outside
@How long, how long!" he muttered.
"How long?'
And in his nervousness he went to the
head of the stairs.

there-will you please be quiet for mo-

Can you hear anything in there now?"
All fell unbreathingly to silence. And
then, hating them where they stood,
from far within. and as if given by the
muffled. bony hand of death itself, an un-
accountable knocking could be heard.
A sound of somebody, or something,
that moved stealthily. and of door that
opened. Then, sounding nearer, that
hand knocked a second time.
Rdp-rdp-rdp-
A third time, still nearer, it sounded.
And then from behind that locked door,
hollowly, sighingly, moaningly,-one
would have said soul being led already
to everlasting torture,-there breathed
out to them:
"Oh, God-oh, my God, my God!"
AT the foot of the stairs the woman in

But it was concealed wiring, and it kept
its secret.
"Bother it," cried the judge and, half

There was no answer. And, still CROP
ing, he laid his hand upon the nearest
door.
Even as he touched the door, from then-
side it was quietly and deliberately locked.
