She looked exhausted and in her face one read the tragedy of failure. Go On With the Story CHAPTER 11. Meanwhile, the doctor after a word of direction, left <ie woman at the second floor, and she entered her apartment with the maid. She took oft her hat, went over to the window ‘ and sat down. She leaned on her elbows, looking out, her face in her Bands, her heavy hair falling over Rer thin blue-veined fingers. The mald came with esiited re- X Madame must go at onoe to bed.

Suddenly, far ‘off in the border of the garden of the Esbekiya a gaunt ' figure arose from among these ghast- s Jy groups, as in & garden of the dead matted noose.. He axtended his arm, and his volce drifted with the vague wind morthward as from the desert.

I will give it to you. . . g will give it to you. And may it sruclty your soul!” The volce trailed in a thin, indis- #inguishable whine, and the ema- . clated creature sank down under his burnoose. The man looked up and about him fike one who hears a whispering in the sky. Then he .turned his horse and rode on slowly in the wake of the * procession. He followed it east into the Rue Muski. The herse picked its way along, careful to avoid the exhausted mad- men who lay everywhere. He rode with the reins slack in his fingers.
