on her way uptown.
Meanwhile Godowski himself had
arrived at our apartment, much to the
relief of our friend Johnson, and was
unpacking his instruments.
Quickly he improvised two operat-
ing tables and placed one of us on
each. Then, with his assistant, he put
on his white robe, mask, gloves and
other precautions for asepsis, setting
out the apparatus for the intravenous
administration of the drug that would
kill the spirillum.
They had finished their preparations

A few moments later the door of
the apartment opened. His face showed
his disappointment. 1t was a stranger.
Miss Septix is ILL.," she introduced.
"and sent me to take her place."
The doctor looked about. Very
well, then" he said briskly, seeing his
preparations. Are you ready to 60
ahead?"
She nodded and threw off the coat
that covered her immaculate white
uniform.
The specialist plunged whole-heart-
eddy into his work of saving us now.
Hand me that needle, please" he
directed the false nurse.
She moved over to the table near
by and took 1t up, pausing only long
enough to dip it secretly into vial

She turned from the table and hand
ed it to him. He adjusted it and al
ready held it poised for the thrust
which was not to cure but to poison
us further.
"Weepy Mary!" cried frightened
voice at our door.
Elaine had been deeply alarmed by
the sudden illness of Kennedy and the
message from Jameson. No sooner
had Kennedy gone than it flashed over
her that WI Fang had predicted some
thing like this.
The threat" she exclaimed, seek
ing her cousin. Mary, must go to
the city-right away"
On the next train, then, she had
been speeding back to New York.
One glance at the improvised hos
pital was enough to alarm her. But
the sight that had transfixed her was
of woman whose face she remem-
bered WELL though Kennedy and 1 had
never seen her

The game was up. Weepy Mary

had soaked in the solution from the
vial which WI had given her and bolt

So sudden was her fight that no

The excitement, more than ever.

Elaine had thrown off her coat and
lat. Her sleeves were up in mo-
1ent, and before the doctor knew what
he was about she was scrubbing her
ands in the antiseptic wash.
"Only-show me-what to do" she
ried. Il will be the nurse!"
Several days later, when he had re-
overed sufficiently from the diaboli-
al attack that had been made upon
s, Kennedy was again at work in
ne laboratory, while was writing.
Our speaking tube sounded, and
new that it was Elaine and Aunt Jo-

"Fine!' he exaggerated, brightly.
"Really?2 she repeated anxiously.
