And the woman who ran gereaming from the inner room? You faced her like a man, or vather a gunman, and shot her in the chest and face. The child that came after her? You shot that child of seven—in self-defense, t00? . . . Children are rather a special- ty of yours, aren't they, Gryde?” John Waye's eyes blazed as he added softly, “No, you won't get cff, Gunman Gryde. . . “And you, Manoel.

The door opened, and the Doc- tor's secretary entered. “Did you ring for me, Sir?" ask- ed the girl. “Kindly ask Dr. Studley if he'd be good enough to step this way, if PAW'S A POOR PRUNE'S LIABLE T'HIT THE HIGHWAY IN HIS NIGHTIE! “Most certainly not,” “Would you s i the technical normal and of unhealthy mi “I would not,” was the immed: ate reply. “Quite the contrary.” “Thank you, Doctor.

The pale girl retired. John Waye broke the tense silence. “So, on the whole, Doctor, per- haps you'll all decide to be deaf to conscience,” he observed in ‘a cenversational bantering tone. “For you are a lying dog, Doctor,” con- you, Manoel, are a smaller, mean- er, more cowardly hound.

There was a knock at the inner door, an instant silence fell as it opened and Dr. Studley entered. “You sent for me, Chief?” he Isaid glancing round. “Yes, Studley. Our wayward hu- morist, here, won't be happy un- til you have joined the circle upon which he has intruded. Now, Mr. Waye, we are busy people.” “Good morning, Dr. Studley,” said John Waye. “What 1 wanted to ask you, is whether you con- sidet me to be insane in the ordi- nary lay sense of the word?" Dr. Studley glanced at the ex- pressionless face of Dr. Charters. Since the Chief had sent for him, without other message, presumably it was his intention that this queer found out that our Matron was Frisco Fanny herself, and heard chap should be given a straight- forward answer, tinued Mr. Waye pleasantly. “And!{ — i city.
