This was q challenge that
Brierhalter had no way of meet
ing except by acquiescence. So
forceful was the sudden flaming
thrust Of Joslyn's aroused spirit
that he actually fell back step
= propelled by some unseen physi-
cal impact.

said. "I'll have all the papers in
the city brought up II 1t will sat

II don't want him and I won't
have him." she declared with q
firmness in her voice that had q
touch Of the old.time ring.
What can q doctor do in case
like this?"
PERHAPS" he admitted, you're
right. / think I can have you the
latest edition Of all the papers

Miss Law returned to the room
as soon as Brierhalter left. Now

professional manner, III you will
just lie back on the pillow"
But Joslyn already had her feet
on the floor, was standing up
shakily, but grimly. The nurse,
her face aghast, backed away
from the cold intensity Of her
patients eyes.

closet-the clothes I had on when

In the whole Of Joslyn's being
there was nothing that had
power except her mind, but that
was alive, humming, like an en-
CINE that was laboring success
fully with a heavy load. Her
body, In so far as she was aware
of it, was still the trembling, tor.
tured structure of clay that had
enslaved her for SO many days
of torture; it creaked, complained
and whined, but like some ser.
vile underling it obeyed the com,
mands OF an imperious master.
Under her own power she
crossed the room to the closet,
had pulled open the door before

immobility, came to help her.
