There was no sound in the Master's room, and no light except the flicker of the Jogs smoldering in the fireplace. The thin line of it appeared faintly along the sill of the door.” He paused. “The fireplace, Excellency, is at the end of the great room, directly op- posite this door into the hall, before which 1 always sat when the Master was within. The fireplace is of black marble with an immense black-marble hearth. And the gift which I had brought the Master stands on one side of the fire, on this marble hearth, as ghough it were.a single andiron.” The man turned back into the heart of his story. “I knew by the vague sense of pres- sure that the devocations of the thing svere again on the way. And I began to suffer in the spirit for the Master’s safety. Interference, both by act and'} by the will, were denied me. But there is an anxiety of spirit, Excel- lency, that the uncertainty of an issue | makes intolerable.” The man paused, A “The pressure continued—and the silence. 1t was nearly midnight. 1 eould not distinguish any act or mo tion of the Master, and in fear I crept over to the door and looked in through the crevice along the thresh- “eld. : “The ter sat by his table; he was straining forward, his hands gripping the arms of his chair. His eyes and every tense instinct of the man were concentrated on the fire- place, The red light of the embers was in the room. I could see him glearly, and the table beyond him with the calculations; but the fire- place semed strangely out of perspec- | tiye—it extended above me. “My giit to the Master, not mor than four hand-breaths in length, in cluding the base, stood now like an immence bronze on an extended marble besi gigantic fire- place. This effect of extension put | the top of the fireplace and the en- Jarged andiron, above its pedestal, out of my line of vision. Everything else in the chamber, holding its nor- mal dimensions, was visible to me. “I have said, Excellency, that my angle of vision along the crevice of the doorsill was sharply cut midway | ‘of this now enlarged fireplace. From the direction and lift of the Master's face, he was watclgng something above this line and directly over the " pedestal of the andiron. I watched, also, flattening my face against the sill, for the thing to appear. “And it did appear. “A naked foot became slowly | visible, as though someone were dec- scending with extreme care from the elevation of the anidron to the great marble hearth, under this strange en- largement, now some distance below."” The big Oriental paused, and looked down at me. “T knew then, llency, that the Master was lost!
