Priscilla could hear no sound but the
amending mutter Of surf breaking on
the Southampton shore.
She lay on chaisc-l0ngue, INDECENT
" watching the sea, just as she had
watched it daily from her window, for
hours on end, through weeks that ran
into months without her heed. Upon
her lap rested an open book. upon the
hook a hand as white as the fair mar
gins of It's pages But 1t was not
more colorless than Der face. In her
l,ok there was hint of resignation,
of patjent WEAKNESS. :.
She had been a long time Ill, with
nm Illness which Aunt Esther persisted
in calling brain fever, though DIR.
Philip Fosdick had for 1t a name less
picturesque.
And for longer time she had been
IN state that was by courtesy termed
convalescence though II she were
making any real progress toward com
nlete recovery it was imperceptible to

standing position, The table rocked
slightly and scraped the floor. A
whisky bottle fell on Its side.
The man turned like a hunted an
imal, snarling saw the woman stand
ing there, In her torn frock, water
dripping from her hair and clothing,
and screamed with terror like a
trapped wolf.
His arm flew up and his pistol spat
five shots In less than as many sec
onds. He fired point blank, at dis
lance of not more than five feet Yet
when the fifth shot had been fred the
girl was still standing, unframed,
staring blankly at him.
Then he went utterly insane with
fear. One word-"Leonora was
his shrieked valediction to the world.
His pistol held a sixth cartridge. He
thrust the muzzle between his teeth
and pulled the trigger.
As Carnehan fell, Fosdlck with the
detective Andrews and the man Mario
broke into the shanty.
