When Lorelei awoke on the follow
ing afternoon her first inquiry was for
jim; but he had not come home, and
her mother knew nothing of his where
abouts. Lorelei ate her breakfast in
silence; then, in reply to question,
accounted for the lateness Of her ar
rival by saying that she had dined with
Mr.. Merkle.
At the name Mrs. Knight pricked IN
her ears; she undertook to pick out Of
her daughter all that had occurred,
down to the most insignificant detail.
Lorelei had always made a cOntidante
OF her mother I'm such cases; but this
time the latter's inquisltiveness graf
ed on her, and she answered the ques-
tions put to her grudgingly. She could
not help Ilening her mother to mag
pie although the thought shocked her.
There was the same sly angle Of coun-
tenancc, similar furtiyeness of pur-
pose; the very expression Of MIRA
knights keen, hard eyes was ike
nothing so much as that Of the pry-
ing birds. Displeased at her own irri--
tation. LoreIei made the excuse Of a
shopping trip to escape from the house.
At the nearest news stand she
bought the afternoon papers, and was
relieved to find no mention Of the in
cidents Of the night before. 1t APP
peared that Harmon and Merkle had
succeeded In their attempt to suppress
the story-f, indeed, there had ever
been any Intention OF making it public.

tails of the kind of dirty work

stage the same problem that forms the
basis for the picture is evident.

with the penance inflicted upon a

penance is so personified that the re-

This is obtained by the use of some
extraordinary Photographic effects,
which show the dead man returning
to haunt the living murderer, who i'm
