was farther away from me. But
yet | was aware of the sense of
crawling, half sliding toward the
mar in the chair. And then ! saw
an irregular gray patch Of shadow
that was not quite so dark as the
shadow around ia patch which
seemed to be moving. And all at
once it halted.
The Tiger of Southley Downs had
come again. The candlelight was
ineffective and dim, yet it showed
the outline plain. Even then l
tried to tell myself it was some
mental fallacy, a mirage or delusion
that could not possibly be true. /
tried to say it was the effect of light
and shadow; but the lie died before
it came to my thought. 1t wasn't
any use to try to deny the real thing.
There was the tawny hide, darkened
of course, by the shadows, the low
hung head, the great black stripes.
The details we're obscured; but my
eyes didn't need them to recognize
the creature. 1t seemed to be lying
close to the floor, in the position a
tiger takes just before it springs.
And | couldn't say it wasn't true.
1t would not have been so convinc-

And / knew by the suppressed gasp
of the great detective beside me that
his eyes were also resting on the
thing. / think that he started to
whisper some messages of wonder.
But | didn't hear him. All heard
was Villas scream.
He backed up against the wall, his
fingers at his throat. There was no
record left in my brain Of the
sounds he made and the words he
said. Ahmad Das had returned just
as he had promised, to get the ans
wer to his questions. The transform
