heard it and understood its portent.
He turned his head for view of
rhe man to whom he had dealt a
death blow, but he did not go 10
him.
His unfortunate victim lay back
on his pillow, staring in a fixed,
unseeing way straight ahead. No
revulsion of feeling, no mercy, came
Ito the watcher as he saw the hand
OF death laid upon the aged and
pallid brow of Cyril Cunningham
1t was all over in a few minutes.
The dying man moved his eyes to-
ward the end and fastened them
upon Brent. The latter could see
that he was striving with his last
strength to speak. But the words
would not come.
Then. suddenly, he raised himself
in a convulsive, painful manner,
flung a hand outward and in an
instant sank back inert.
Brent waited, made sure that he
was gone, and then calmly put his
own clothing in order, smoothed his
hair and went downstairs.
He met Marks in the lower hall
on his way to Mr.. Cunningham S
room. Brent detained him with
questions about what had been done
in regard to his car. Marks told
him that he had sent the gardener
and his son to get it to Bramble-
wood.
Brent thanked him and started

newspaper while he waited Tor the
result of Marks discovery that MI.
Cunningham was dead.
It was not long in coming. Brent
could hear him coming down the
stairs calling out something that his
excitement made almost unintelli-

door.
