went on speaking as though she had
arrived outside the snack.

him plainer-it is-it is--Abner Cam
pion."
Myra felt her fingers clasped closer in
Arthur's hand. He put his lips close
to her ear
1--WE may learn netting"
Mrs. Farnham was not disturbed by
the new figures which came into her
procession of tableaus.
Il see Benjamin laughing at Abner-
Abner is afraid-Benjamin invites him
into the shanty-now they go in. y
Il see the room again-Benjamin is
asking a question: see Abner point
back into the woods see Benjamin
start to so out-Abner calls him back
they whisper together-Abner looks
around the room-Abner asks questions
he takes up one of the little statues.
Benjamin explains it. Abner has soiled
his hands-he wipes them In the cloths
tiles and the statues in the oven-he
closes it up-he points out of the door
again-I see Abner shake his head.
Il see Abner take a bottle out of his
pocket flat bottle-it is flask
Benjamin slaps Abner on the back and
lauGhs-he gets glass and drinks.
Il see them talking together again
now Abner pours out another drink for
benjamin. see Benjamin take this
head falls on his arms on the tablet
see Benjamin struggle to his feet-he
glares at Abner-now l see him sink
into the chain-his head falls on his

The vision beholding woman had
hardly moved up to this time except
when her hands closed tightly on Mil
licent's cold fingers as she was sent
back to the shack. Now, however, sud
den little tremers passed over her body.
She shook slightly from head to foot.
There were signs OF a repulsion about
her as though she anticipated her next
picture and dread the sight. Her voice
had quick futterings, her fingers opened
and closed on the dead hands.
Il see Abner stand up-he empties the
bottle on the hoor-the liquid makes a
dark stain-he shakes Benjamin-he
raises Bei jamins head-Benjamin seems
unconscious see Abner push up Ben
Jamin's eyelids and peer into his eyes
there Is no wakefulness in them.
Il see Abuer unlock a door-he brings
out great quantities OF the white sheets
like oiIcloth-he takes Benjamin out of
the charlie puts Benjamin on the
hoor-he is covering him with the white
sheets-he covers the whole body with
them-he piles the sheets--he goes to
the door and looks out--I see him put
the chairs and the table close by Ben
Jamin on the floor.
Il see Abuer-"
A CONFUSION went through her body
Her lips parted and her eyes fixed as they
were before on the dead woman's face
now rolled in their sockets with agita-
ion. Her words came in spasmodie
gasps
II see Abner put the lamp on the floor
II see him Hight a mRtch--he puts Il to
paper and shavings-he pushes the table
over on the lamp--it bursts into
aamces--I see Abner dee into the woods
II see great blaze-it is hre-fre-
6re---"
Her voice reached n cry Of alarm.
The shack with the living man inside
must have famed up in her sight. Then
the vision must have been shut out into
darkness. She collapsed. Her head fell
forward on Millicent's still breast and
the quick and the dead lay motionless
toget her.
