the body Of Freneau and dragged 1t
back Of the monument. A policeman
went by yawning and noticed nothing.
l dragged the body down the steep
steps and along the winding pathways,
down to the railroad tracks, and
across them to an old dock.

There was a splash and then turned

and said that had wakened her from

She said that she had taken him 20
the train. The next day learned that
he had come back. saying that he
found the journey unnecessary.
II lived In agony for week. Then
Freneau's body was found In the lower
bay. where the current had taken It.
The papers said he had committed sui

David with Lois. Her heart quivered
at the thought Of exposing him to pub

She put on the decision till she could

was to drive from this paradise the
evil woman Lois. who poisoned the

She saw q servant approach David

happy. She had been wicked and e.
