DR.. Baldwin looked away, as
he replied:
"It seems to be heart trou-

It was like a nightmare in
which the same horrible things
were being done over and over
again. But, thank God, there

located the dreadful sound-it
came from Lola's boudoir.
But before Colt reached the
door, it opened and the mother
tumbled out. Her eyes were
rolling. Her mouth was opened,
but she could not utter a
sound. She tottered toward
us, then pitched and tumbled
in an unconscious heap on the
floor. After her rushed the
faithful Dorothy Lox, who had
been in the room with the old
woman.
Colt was at the door; he
looked in and his tanned face
seemed drained of all blood
and life. A look Of incredulity
and horror seemed to magnify
the Commissioners sombre eyes.
We clustered behind the chief,
seeing now for ourselves what
had shocked him so.
On the floor lay the body Of
a woman. We did not need to
be told that she was dead. We
had seen these symptoms be-
fore-the rigid and twisted
body, the tortured face, the
fleck Of foam and blood between
the lips.

mercifully over Mrs. Carewe.
For about half an hour she had
slept peacefully in her own
room. Then she woke up fret
fully and insisted on going into
her daughters room. Miss Lox
had agreed to this whim. The
old woman had gone to the
door, accompanied by Miss Lox.
Together they had entered the

on the floor.
