were never awkward or ill-timed;

looked into the rose-pink room and
saw Lame Delorne,- In a negligee

more sheer, kneeling and clawing at
her throat, round which a heavy silk
handkerchief was slowly tightening;
her face already purple with strangu-

sockets. her tongue protruding be-
tween swollen lips.
A thick knee was planted between
her shoulder-blades. The ends of
the handkerchief were in the slnewy
