the night following his visit to the

between the folding doors, closing
them behind him.
Minutes slipped by. The captain
still nursed the clinical thermometer.
The humble and mutterilg continued
to sound through the closed doors.
Suddenly the high whine of the unseen
visitor was raised ia excitement. Came
clearly through to Woodhouse's ears
his passionate declaration:

Again the querulous protestahon Of
Capper, met by the doctors peremptory
order. The captain heard the front
door close. A long wait and DR.. Koch's
black beard, with the surmounting
eyes of thick glass, appeared at q part
ing of the folding doors. Woodhouse,
the tiny thermometer still sticking alb
surdly from his mouth, met the basil
lisk stare of those two ovals of glass
with a coldly casual glance. He re-
moved the thermometer from between
his hips and read it, with a smile, as If

were drawn to a thin line. Koch's big

where his enemy stands. He blurted

parenthetically.

stolen from him some time after he
left Paris-stolen from the head of his
cane, where he had it concealed. But

"Was he an understood man, very

Their talk was desultory during the

announcement as to the late visitor.
Finally came a soft tapping on the hid

came back to where the captain was
