The Bride of Death
Time had long ceased te have any
slgnlflcance for Malsln White. There
wan davlieht nnd nlsht llcht. Hhe
seemed te remember that she had made
a great fight en the ilny she arrived
nt this strange house when the hard
fnced nurses had strapped her te the
bed, nnd nn old man, with trembling
fingers, had pushed a needle Inte her
arm. Hhe remembered It hurt, and
then she remembered very little else.
Hhe viewed life with n dull apathy
nnd without much understanding. Hhe
ceased te resent tne presence 01 tne
women who came and went, and even
the uncleanly old doctor no longer filled
nor with a sense or revulsion.
Hhe Just wanted te be left alone te
sleep, te dream the strangest dreams
that any girl had ever had. Sim did
net knew that this was the action of
a drug, consistently ndmlnistered In
every drink she took, In every morsel
of feed she nte. Bromide In bread, In
coffee, In mashed potatoes, in rice, In
nil the vehicles by which the drug could
be administered,
Sometimes by reason of her sheer
vitality she flung off the effects of the
dope, nnd was keenly conscious of her
surroundings. Thcre was one girl,
who enme nnd went, a pretty girl with
fluffy golden hair, who looked nt her
dispassionately nnd made no reply t
the questions with which Malzlc piled
her. And once she had seen Pinte
and would have screamed, but they
stepped her In tlm And then a dark
man had come, n llttle man with long
curling mustaches, who had looked down
and showed his even white teeth In a
smile.
One night the old doctor had come
into the room very drunk. He was
crying and menning In n maudlin fashion
about mm mysterious position which
he had lest, nnd he had sat en the
bed and cursed his pnBslen for strong
drink with such vehemence that she.
in her half-dazed state of mind, had
found herself interested against her will.
In one of her lucid Intervals she had
realized a vital fart, that she was under
the Influence of n drug, nnd Instinc
tively knew that she was becoming mere
and mere Immune te its notion. Hhe
formed n vngue plan, which she had
almost forgotten the next morning, Hhe
must always be sleepy, almost dazed;
she must never show signs of return
ing consciousness. Hhe hnd been a neck
in the "nursing home" before she made
this plan. She could lie new with her
eyes shut, picking 'up the threads. Hhe
heard somebody talk of n ship and of
a passport, and learned that she was
te be removed In another week. She
could net find where, but It was some
where en a ship. 'She tried once, when
the nurses were out of the room, te
get out of bed -and walk te the window.
Her legs gave way beneath her. nnd it
wnn with the greatest dlUteulty that
bhe managed te crawl back te, bed.
There was no escape that way. There
was no help either from the n"""
who were net nurses at nil, nor irem
the maudlin little doctor, nor from tM
pretty girl who came sometime nxiu
i,a ;L,n n he with undisguised
contempt or was It pity? Then one
night she woke In a fright.
Twe people were talking. She Ji
turned her head nnd saw that Pinte

before, but new his rsge was directed
at somebody else, and with ft start
she recognized the pretty girl that the
nursee called I.ellle.
"You're net In this. LelHe," eaid
the man, nnd she laughed.
"That's just where you're wrong,
Hllva," she replied; "I'm very much
in it. What happens te this girl when
she leaves here. I don't knew I RUcm
It's up te the colonel. But while, she s

"Yeu are, are you?" hn said between
his teeth. "Well, new you can go

said. He walked ever te her and glow
ered down at the girl, nnd she puffed

Pinte. "New, just come outside; I've
n few words te say te yen."
Thev pnsed through the deer Inte
a smaller room where the night watchers
sat. lyellie made as though te sit
at the table when he gripped her arm
nnd wrung her round. Hhe put her
bands te defend herself, but she was
thrown against the wall and his grip
was en her frost.
"De you knew what III de te you?"
he threatened.
"I don't care what yen de," she
said. She was en the verge of tent.
"you're net going Inte that roem't"'
She sprang nt him with a snari
like a wild beast, he turned nnd
struck nt her, and she fell against the
wall.
New ret nut" he pointed te the
deer "get out nnd don't show your
face here again or 111 mark it ter
you."
She slunk from the room, sick nt
heart, nnd he locked the deer behind
her.
All that was worst In him was nllve
and artlve this night. Here was n girl
who had rejected him, who bad pored
contempt upon offers which he honestly
believed morn generous. Pinte Hllva
was nine-tenths brute. He bad neither
conscience nor pity, and he went back
te the room where the girl lay. rl"

he should obtain n divorce.
JIc knelt down beside the bed.
"Covered your head with n blanket,
my pretty, eh?" he said with a sneer.
"Pinte must see that pretty face, and

He laid held of the blanket's edge
and pulled It down. He wanted te Ree
the eyes panic-stricken, and the drawn
mouth that he had glimpsed In that
second before Lellle Marsh had In
truded upon his plan of levenge.
But the blankets would net come
away. They were being clutched tightly.
The resistance inflamed him.
Willi n lerk he wrenched them down,
then stumbled backward te the fleer,
a grotesque nnd ludicrous figure, for
