the appearance of Trask, the unexpect-
ed coming of Dick Freneau, his pause
to light his cigarette while Gloria from
afar helplessly watched the assassin
creep up on him and throttle him to
death.
Trask vanished and the skulker came
by again, stumbled over Dicks body,
knelt, listened to his heartbeat, then,
satisfied of his death, ghoulishly rifed
his pockets and took from them this
very envelope that had come back into
her hands so curiously through the
prank of a mischievOus child.
Into the vivid tableau of that men,
DRY the kneeling figure of Doctor Royce
fitted to perfection. Gloria had a sud-
den intuition that she understood the
truth at last. Decor Royce had told
her that her vision was dellrium be-
cause it was himself that she had seen.
All his devotion now took on a new
and hideOuS look. He had not cared
for her. He had meant only to blind
her and divert her from her revenge.
He had nearly succeeded. She had
fritted away her time. She had be-
lieved the Indian chief who said that
1t was Royce and not Freneau who bat
tied for her and saved her. She had
allowed herself to think dislOyally of
her dead lover. She would exact dou-
bic vengeance for that
She advanced at once on the kaeel-

too foolish to suspect you"

asked hOarsely.

murder of my poor lover. You hired
that beast Trask and you went there
to make sure he did his work we'll"
Gloria, Gloria !" Royce sighed, so
deep and honest sorrow in his face
that Gloria was staggered. But only
for moment. Her wrath carried her
on:
You made a fool of me for a long
time, bat you were too clever too long,
and now l know know a little at
least, and I'm going to know more.
Why did you kill my Dick.?"

have given my life to keep you from
pain, then as now. You've got to be-
lieve me-"
Believe you? When you told me
that all l saw was dairium? When
you drugged me that night in the hope
that 1 would forget? When you dragged
his body away and threw it in the
river? Ugh, the horrible brutality of
it,"
That's too false even for you to be-
lieve, Gloria" Royce protested. 81 did
not drag his body away, and you know
it."
Il know nothing of the sort.
tainted as you stole this envelope
from his body. Do you deny that you
did that?"
Royce stood trembling with confu-
sion. Gloria took his silence for a
confession. She QuiYered before the
confirmation of her charge From her
weak hand the envelope slipped. AS
