He ran again into the house and
bundled himself up the stairs and in
to his room. At his bureau he took
a drawer and wrenched it open so
that it came out in his hand, swung
on the sockets of it's handle, and
scattered its contents upon the floor.

jammed the revolver in his jacket

down the stairs, and as he scrambled
down he cried, 'I'll cram the letter

latch. Immediately, and enormously,
so that for a moment he was forced
to pause, the pulse broke out anew
IN his head. Knock, knock, knock.

frightful knocking continued it would
beat its way out Something would
give way He was the father Of

got it. He remembered that he had
started for Brighton without it, dis
covered there that he had left it. He
remembered a previous occasion of
searching for it like this. When?
All, when Effie had told him she had
found it lying about and had put it
of all absurd places for a cigaret case
in the back of the clock. Effie !
He went quickly to the clock and
opened it. Good! 1t was there. He
snatched it up. Something else
there. "A. folded paper. His name
penciled on it Mr.. Sabre.
She had left message for him !!
That cigaret case business had been
deliberately done!

his eyes. Pitiful, oh, pitiful. He turn

The knocking suddenly ceased. He
threw up his hand. He gave very
loud cry. A single note. A note of ex-
