and lealized them by the aid of mem

He found himself lying on a pallet,
near a window. through which he had
a glimpse of foliage and of a strip
of indigo sky.
Tears gathered IN his eyes, and
rolled down his wasted cheeks.
Steps were softly approaching his
bedside Some one was leaning over
him. He turned his head oonce more
and looked up. And then a great fear
took possession of him, so that for
moment his heart seemed to contract.

apparition.

He saw the paLng stars above and
was able at last to breathe freely
and without effort. But the burden
which he had succeeded in thrusting
from his head, now lay across his
breast, and the weight of it was
troublesome and painful. He put forth
a hand, and realizing by the sense of
touch that what he grasped was

Eliciting no response, he began to

across his eyes from the flaming
head of the torch which had been
thrust upward. The cart had come
to a standstill. and above the tall
sides of il, rising into his field of
vision, came the two horrible figures
of the carriers. whom the sound Of
his voice had brought to mount the
wheels Of the vehicle.
In plaiHtive Impotence came the
nasal voice of one of those ghouls.
I told We the genTy-cove was

Aye, Well? And what now" quoth
the other ENORMOUSLY
Why. fling him out, O. course"
But Holes was no longer in need
Of their assistance. Their words and
what he saw ot that grim load OF
which he was a part made him real
ize at last his CHASTITY situation. He
heaved himself clear. and struggled,
gasping, to his knees. Thence he
gripped the side of the cart, pulled
himself to his feet, flung a leg over
and leapt down. stumbling as he did
so. and sprawling full length upon
the ground.
BY the time he had gathered him
self up. the cart was already trun-
ding on again, and the peals Of
hCarse, obscene laughter from the
carriers were ringing hideoUsly through
the silent street.
Mechanically he trudged on and on.
aimlessly now, a man walking in a
nightmare.
At last he paused. without knowl-
edge or care of where he was: utter
ly bereft of strength. he sank pres
emily into the shelter Of the doorway
Of a deserted house, and there fell
asleep.
When next he awakened, he was
lying in the full glare Of sun that
was already high in the heavens. He
looked about him. and found himself
in surroundings that were utterly
strange to him, so that he could form
no notion Of whittier he had strayed.
In mid-street stood a man in a
steeple hat dressed in black. leaning
upon a red wand and regarding him
attentively.
What ails your" the man asked
him. seeing him awake and conscious.
DisgrUntled, Holes glared at him.
THE sight of you" he snapped. and
struggled stiffly cup. 'Naught else"
Yet, even as he gained his feet, a
giddiness assailed him. He steadied
himself a moment against the door
post; then reeled and sank down
again upon the step that had been his
couch For some few seconds he sat
there bemused, marveling at his CON
dition. Then. acting on a sudden
thought, he tore open the breast of
his shirt.
81 nedr' he shouted wildly. When
next he looked up. he was laughing,
a ringing. exultant laugh. II lied!
There is something else. Look" And
he pulled his shirt wider apart, so
that the man might see what he had
found. And that was the last thing
that he remembered.
On his breast the flower Of the
plague had blossomed while he slept.
