You've done enough mischief. You're

why this animus against me, my

Quest felt in his overcoat pocket
and drew out the small, hard pellet.
He gripped it in his fingers, stood
as nearly as possible underneath the
spot from which he had been project
ed, coolly swung his arm back, and
flung the black pebble against the

Ella glanced over her shoulder at
the two servants who were standing
dlscreetly In the background. Her

last few years had enjoyed her IA
theirs confidence
For a moment queer sense of ap-
pre- -ension troubled her. Was it true,
she wondered, that she did not like the
man? She banished the thought al
most as soon as it>was conceived.

sighed.

He leaned forward With long, capa-

Together they carried the sleeping
girl out of the room into larger
apartment. A single electric light was
burning on the top of square mirror
fixed upon an easel. Towards this
they carried the girl and laid her in an
easy chair almost opposite to it.
The battery is just on the left"
Laura whispered.
Quest nodded.
Give me the band"
She turned away for moment and
disappeared in the shadows. When
she returned, she carried a curved
band of flexible steel. Quest took it
from her, attached it by means of a
coil of wire to the battery, and with
firm, soft fingers slipped it on to
Lenora's forehead. Then he stepped
back.

They watched Lenora intently.
Lenora," Quest said, slowly and
firmly, your mind is full of one sub.

chair by the fireside. She is toying

the room, Lenora? Look! Look!
Gaze into that mirror. What do you

The girls eyes had opened. They
were fixed now upon the mirrOr-dis-

his own breath laboring. ct is there
in your brain! Look!"
For a single second the smooth sur
face of the mirror was obscured. A
room crept dimly like picture into
being, fire upon the hearth, a girl
leaning back in her chair. A door
in the background opened. A man
stole out. He crept nearer to the girl
his eyes fixed upon the diamonds, a
thin, silken cord twisted round his
wrist. Suddenly she saw him-too
late! His hand was upon her lips,
his face seemed to start almost from
the mirror-then blackness!
Lenora opened her eyes. She was
still in the easy-chair before the fire.

He looked up from some letters
which he had been studying.

CHAPTER Ill.

The streets of New York were cav
cred with thin, powdery snow as the
very luxurious car of Mrs. Delarey
drew up outside the front of the Le-
land hotel, a little after midnight Ella
leaned over and kissed her hostess.
Thank you, dear, ever so much,
for YOUR delightful dinner" she ex-
claimed, "and for bringing me home
AS for the music, we'll, I can't talk
about it. I am just going upstairs
into my room to sit and think"
The car rolled off. Ella, large
umbrella held over her head by the
doorkeeper, stepped up the little strip
of drugget which led into the softly
warmed hall of the Leland. Behind
