unreal. That creature with dis

not have been the dignified, self-con-

ing room. AS he advanced the sput-
ter of flames and kissing thud of a
falling log came to his ears and then
the dull clank of metal.
Carefully he drew aside a fold OF
the heavy curtains which draped the
doorway and peered in. There was
no light save that from the tiny
blaze burning itself out in the fire

outlined a huddled, shapeless figure
in loose robe kneeling before the

tongue of flame leaped up, glistening
on heavy coil of silvery hair which
hung to the floor. IL was Miss

silently inch by inch Miles slipped
through the curtains and into the
shadow behind a tall cabinet, from
around the farther side OF which
he could gain a more direct view

and for a moment the woman
seemed on the verge of collapse.
Then catching up a small object

her and Miles saw that the object
she carried was an electric torch, it's

the wisps of gray hair falling about
it, into the semblance of the veriest
witch.
He shrank back fearful lest she
discover his presence, but Miss
Jerusha stared straight before her
with the wild blank gaze of one who
looks upon the hideous visions of a
mind distraught and slowly, CROP
