The professor drew a@ little breath. He sat back in his chair. His face became atill, his lips were drawn closely together. Lenora wheeled up the machine and with deft fingers ad- justed the fittings on one side. Quest ‘himself connected it up on the other, The professor sat here like a figure of stone, The stlence in the room was #0 intense that the ticking of the small clock upon the mantelpiece was clearly audible. The very atmosphere seemed charged with the thrill and wonder of it. Never before had Quest met with resistance so complete and immovable, For the first time the thought of failure oppressed him. Even thar slight slackening of his rigid concentration brought relief to the professor, Without any knowl- edge as to the source of their convic- tion, the two girls who watched felt that the professor was becoming dom- inant. And then there came a ‘sud- den queer change. The intangible triumph of the professor’ stony poise seemed to fade away. His eyes had sought the corner of thy his ps quivered.

He leaned a little farther forward, Stern- ly he concentrated the whole of his will power upon his task. Almost at once there was 4 chango, The pro- fessor fell back in the chair.

One was the professor, clearly recognizable under his white sun helmet; the other a stranger to all of them. Suddenly thep stopped. The latter had crept & yard or so ahead, his gun raised to his shoulder, his eyes fixed upon some possible object of pursuit, There was a sudden change in the professor. They saw him seize his gun by the barrel and whirl it above his head. He seemed suddenly to lose his wholo indentity. He crouched on his haunches, almost like an animal, and sprang at the other's throat. They could almost hear the snarl from his lips as the two men went down t gether into the undergrowth. The ploture faded away. rill!’ Lenora faltered not wild beasts which Almost immediately figures again appeared in the mirror, This time they saw the professor in bed in a tent, Craig sitting by him, a violin in hie hand. A native servant en- tered with food, which he placed by the bedside with a low obeisance. Slowly the professor raised himself in bed, His face was distorted, his mouth curved into strange tines. With a sudden spring he seized the native servant by the throat and bore him back upon the floor, Craig passed his arm through his master’s and, exerting all his strength, dragged | him away. .

The hands were there, stretching and reaching, a paper-weight gripped in the right-hand fingers, They saw it raised above the secretary's head, they saw the other hand take the girl by the throat and push her to- ward the table, A wild scream broke from Lenora’s lips.
