Fairchfld, seeking to still the hor-

the sound of a kiss and then the clat-

crazed mind was following the In
structions Of the man who knew how
to lead the lunatic intellect into the
channels he desired; she was digging,
digging a grave for some one, a grave
to be lined with quicklime!
Upstairs was some one who had
been found by this oma In an IN

that condition through the potations
Of the ugly poison-iaden drugs she
doomed to die and to lie in a quick

he made for the rickety stairs, stop

eovefy from below. But it did not
come, the insane woman was chanting
louder than even now. Fairchild went
on.
