"That's net true," she cried out
fharply. "Hawkins hasn't touched a.

"All right!" snnppcd Dr. Crang.
"Have it that way, then ! Ilelng In his
dotage, he makes n geed blind, even
sober. And se jeu went for a little ride
with Mr. .Tehn Bruce tonight?"
Claire Vcniza was wringing her hands
as she glanced In an agony of appre

fleer.
"res," she said; "bnt but won't

"And where did you first meet Mr.
Jehn Bruce, and hew long age?" he
Jerked out.

he wasn't Tn the car tcu minutes. Haw

and went uptown te get father. I I

Dr. Crang was gritting his teeth te

tinging his cheeks. He moved a little
closer te the girl.
"I'm gliid te hear you never saw Mu
Bruce, before," he said cunningly. "Yeu
must huve traveled fast then meta

eh? A cooing exchange of confidences
or was it all en one side? Yeu told him
who you were, and where you lived,

"I did nothing of the kind!" Claire
Vcniza interrupted angrily. "I did net

"Just strictly business then, of

nearer te the girl. "In that case lie

With i midden cry she shrank back

"Then de something!" she Implored
wildly. "If you can save him, de It!
Yeu must! Yeu shall!"
"Why should I?" he demanded. His

He had caught her fn his arms,
his lips were upon here. Bite strug
gled like a tigress
trembling with passion. "Won't I?
By Ged, I will I The one thing In life
I will hnve some wny or another! Yeu

I would let him stand in the way? Yeu

"Step!" she was en her feet and
in nn Instnnt had reached him, and
with her hnnds upon his shoulders was
shaking him fiercely with all her
strength, "t hated you, despised you,
loathed you before, but with that uinn
dying here, you murderer. I "
Her volce trailed off, strangled,
choked. He had caught her In his
arms, his lips were upon her. She
struggled like a tigress. And as they
lurched about the room he laughed in
mad abandon. She wrenched herself
free nt last, and (dipped and fell upon
the fleer.
"De you believe me new?" he
panted. "I will have you! Neither
this man nor any ether will live te get
you. His life is a snap of my fingers
se is any ether life. It's jeu 1 want,
anil jeu 1 will have. And I'll tame
jeu ! Then I'll show you what love is."
She was meaning new a little le her
self. She crept te Jehn Uruce and
stared Inte his face. Dying! Thcv
were letting this mnn die. She trleil
te readjust the cloths upon the wound.

Pleading would net touch, steed cal

triumph in his diseased mind. And
then suddenly s,e seemed se tired and
weary. And she tried te prav te Ged.
And tears came, and en her knees she
turned and flung out her arms im

expression changed and cunning was
In his eyes.
"What would jeu give?" he purred.
'Give?" She did net leek up. She
felt a sudden surge of relief. It de

would supply that. She hnd enlv te

she naked eagerly.

and with n sudden cry of fear turned
away hcr head.
"Sly myself!" Her lips scarcely
moved.
"Yes, my dear! Yourself Claire I"
Docter Crang shrugged his shoulders.
"Kdlnburgh, Londen, Vienna, Paris.
ilegreeJYem everywhere im, ha ! am
I a high-priced man? Well, then, why
don't you dismiss me? Yeu called me
In ! That Is my price or shall we call
it fee? Premise te marry me, Clulre,
and I'll save that man."
Her fare had Install vestige of color.
She steed and looked at him, hut .it
did net seem ns though she any longer
had control ever her limbs. She did
net seem able le move them. ' They
were numbed; her brnlu was mercifully
numbed there was only n sense nf
Impending horror, without that horror
taking concrete form. A voice came
te her as though from some great dis
tance ;
"Don't lake tee long te nittke up your
nind. There Isn't much time. It's
nbeut touch and go with him new."
The words, the tone, the volce reused
her. Realization, understanding swept
upon her. A fnintness enme. She closed
her eyes, swayed unsteadily, but re
covered herself. Something made hcr
leek nt .the upturned face en the fleer.
She did net knew this man. He was
nothing te her. Whv was he nleadlnir
"with her te pawn herself for him? What
right find lie te ask for worse than
death from her thnt he might live? Hcr
soul turned sick within her. If she re
fused, this mnn would die. Death! IF
was a very little thing compared with
days and months nnd j-ears linked, fet
tered, bound te a drug fiend, a coward,
a feut thing, a potential murderer, u
man only In the sense of physical form
who had abused every ether Ged -given
attrlbute until it had retted away ! Her
hands pressed te hcr temples fiercely, in
torment. Was this man te live or die?
In her hands was balanced n human
life. It seemed as though the must
scream out in her anguish of soul ; and
then it seemed as though she must fling
herself upon the drug-crazctl being who
lind forced this torture iipenlicr. fling
lierse.f upon him te batter and pemmc
ice lilt
at Tic
in hideous contentment at Tier. What
was she te de? The choice was hers.
Te let this mnn here die, or te accept a
living death for herself no, worse than
that something that was abominable,
revolting, thnt profaned She
drew her breath in sharply. She was
staring at the man en the fleer. His
ejeluls fluttered nnd opened. Gray eyes
were fixed upon her, eyes thnt did net
seem te see, for there wa n vacant stare
in them nnd then suddenly recognition
crept into them nnd they lighted up,
full of a strnngc, glad wonder. He made
an effort te speak, an effort, mere
feeble still, te reach out his hnnd te
lier nnd then the ejes had closed and
lie was unconscious again.
She turned slowly nnd faced Docter
Crane.
"Yeu de net knew what j'eu nre do
ing." She formed the words with a great
effort.
"Oh, yes. I de! he nnswered with
i mocking deliberation. "I knew that it
1 1 can't get out ene way, I can an-
ethei and the way deesn t matter.
"Ged forgive you. then," she said in
a dead voice, "for I never can or will!
I I agree."
He took a step toward hcr.
"You'll marry mc?" Ills face was
lired with passion.
She retreated a step.
"Yes," she said.
He reached out for her with savage
eagerness.
"Clnlrc!" he cried. "Claire!"
Siie pushed him back with both
hands.
Net yet!" she said, and tried te

mere is another side

life. If lie lives I will marry you. and
in thnt case, as you well knew, I can
say nothing of what you have, done to
night; but if he dies, I am net only
free, but I will de my utmost te make
veu criminally responsible for his
i!cnth."
"Ah!" Docter Crang stared at her.
His hands, still reaching out te touch
her. trembled ; his fuec was hectic ; his
ejes were alight again with feverish
hunger nnil then suddenly the man
seemed transformed into another being.
He was en his knees beslde Jehn
Hruce, and had opened ills handbag in
nn instant, nnd In another lie had
forced something from n vial between
Jehn Hruce's lips; then nn instrument
