CHAPTER ~.
The Sleeping Beauties.

TAWO long rows OF heads fioated
upon a canal OF blue ooze. Be
tween the rows ran wide
plank walk, and nailed to the
edge OF this, m front Of each head, was
q waist high pole bearing a pastehoard
tablet, upon which were ruled lines and
1gures and writing. A weird light
elanted down from the blue glass, OF
which the low roof and south wall were
composed. A bell rang, Every head
turned with sudden expression of
blue tinted hatred toward a door at the
upper end OF the plank wnlk.
The door opened, and through It came

mustache and beard and stomach all
projected so violently forward that to
support them he was compelled to walk

"If you can't speak, show it to me.
Here" He produced a bill from his
pocket.
Onion Jones looked at the bill for
long time: then he slowly took it, and
with many stops and hesitations led
the way out of the study, across the
rear hall and into the wing OF the rear
building. He opened the door cautious
ly. then told Rockwell to follow.
The room was fitted like hospital
ward. In the center was an operating
table, on which was still form COW
cred with white sheet. Over the face
was mask.
"Dead?" whispered Rockwell.
NO" whispered Onion. "They laid
her out last night and doped her, and l
heard 'em say she's going out tomor-

Onion had approached the operating
table. and now he stealthily lifted the

Looking out through the glass panel
they saw Fannie Warden come In,
trim and pretty in her stiff white uni
form and white cap. With business.
like promptness the nurse lowered a
white silk cage from the ceiling, which
covered the operating table completely.
She turned button and there was the
whirr OF a motor for about two min
utes; then she lifted the cage to the
ceiling, and, suppressing her giggle over
the whimsical mummery on which
Blackie Daw had insisted. she walked
sedately out of the room.

Jones, the next morning, led Cornelius

time il was Cornelius who stepped
back with an exclamation of astonish-
