called to her.

Mulholland, who had left the

He could hear the butler moving

Mulholland on the telephone; it
was answered by the young foot

urgent call that he thought he
had better disregard orders. He
tapped softly on the writing-room

There was. no answer.
He opened the door very gently
and looked in. What he saw sent
him, with very white face, in

exclamation that made Morrisey
turn to him.
Found anything?"
The doctor had emptied a tiny
blue bottle, very thin and fiat,
upon the table. It's contents
were eight white tablets; three Of
them he had cut through with a
sharp knife. Again the scent Of
crushed laurel leaves arose.
