silently and he saw an apparition.
Standing in the doorway and
cropping with her hands held out
before her, as If she were blind,
was a woman. Her gown was the
tawdry half-dress of the dance
halls. One glance at the eyes, fix
ed and staring, assured Ligerwood
that he had to do with
one who was either drink-mad-
dened or demented.
where Is he?" the intruder
asked, in a throaty whisper, star
ing, not at him, as Lidgerwood
was quick to observe. but straight
ahead. And then: II told you
would come Rankin; I've been
watching years and years for your
car to come In. Look-I.want you

you and that other man."
Lidgerwood sat perfectly still. It
was quite evident that the woman
did not see him. But his thoughts
were busy. Tho it was by little
more than chance, he knew that
Hallock's Christian name was
Rankin, and instantly he recalled
all that McClosky had told him
about the chief clerks marital
troubles. Was this poor painted
wreck the woman who was, or
who had been Hallock's wife?
The question had scarcely fomu-
lated itself before she began
again.
why don't you answer me-?
Where are you? she demanded, in
the same husky whisper; you
needn't hide know you are
here. What have you done to
that man? You said you would
kill him; you promised me that
Rankin; have you done it?"

Better trot away and go to bed,

her face. Then she turned and

said.
Whom is she trying to find?"
asked Lidgerwod, wishing to have
his suspicion either denied or
confirmed.
Didn't she call him by name?
she usually does. It's your
