just said to her
There was something more to be
said, though 1t was hard.
"JacQueline, whO-was-thatY"
"Who?" she inquired. looking at me
with the same patient. wistful gaze.
THAT man, Jacqueline. That dead
man."
"What dead man. PauI9"
She was staring straight at the
body, and at that moment I realized
that she not only did not remember,
but did not even see It.
The shock which she had received.
supervening upon the nervous state
IN which she had been when en-
countered her, had produced one Of
those mental inhibitions in which the
mind, to save the reason, obliterates
temporarily not only all memory OF
the past but also all present sights
and sounds which may serve to re-
call It,

There was fire escape run4inw
up to the floor of that rodm On the
outside of the house. l saw that II
would be possible by standing on a
chair to swing myself up to the hole
In the wall and reach down to the iron
stairs up which, l assumed, the dead
man had crept after l had given him
the hint of Jacqueline's abode bv

awaken, but she slept in heavy peace.

the sagging floor beneath its double
burden. put the fur cap on the gro

foot, mounted 1t and managed with a
great effort to squeeze through the
hole, pulling up the body with me as
did so.
Then l felt with my foot for the
little platform at the top of the iron
stairs outside, found 1t. and dropped.

l carried the dead man all the wov
down the fire escape, clinging and
straining against the rotting, rusting
bars.
At the back of the house was a little
vacant space, filled with heaps Of de-
bris from the demolished portions OF
the building and with refuse which
had been dumped there by tenants
who had left, and had never been re-
moved. This yard was separated only
by a rotting fence with single wood
en- rail from small blind alley.
l took up my burden and placed It
at the end of the alley, covering 1t
roughly with some old burlap bags
which lay there. l thought it safe to
assume that the police would look
upon the dead man as the victim of
some footpad.

to press on my Imagination. The tale
