Without a sound Lancaster leaped
at him.
Joan saw the secretary snatch up
the lamp and hold it on high. She
heard his screaming, terrified voice
above the uproar. He stood like some
squat statue illuminating the space
above the dark in which Lancaster
and Lawson sprawled, clutching at
each other like two primeval cave
men.
It was grotesque, for it wTas like a
man lighting with himself; and, in
fact, It might have been Lancaster
fighting with his evil angel. He was
no match for Lawson, but at first his
pent-up fury, at last unleashed,
matched the two equally. Then Law-
son flung his adversary from him and
struggled to ids knees. As Lancaster
grasped him and tried to rise lie flung
him down again.
Lancaster’s head
6truck the corner of tlie iron bedstead.
His hands unclosed; he sighed and lay
perfectly still. Joan saw the look of
malignant rage upon Lawson’s face,
saw him raise his heel above the face
i of the unconscious man. He would
j have ground out Lancaster’s life, hut
that Joan pulled the revolver from
i her pocket and thrust it into his face
for the second time.
Lawson staggered backward, rage
and terror depicted upon his features
In the light of the swaying oil lamp.
At that moment Myers was crouching
near her.
He set the lamp down.
Joan felt a sharp pain In the upper
part of her arm. She saw the secre
tary putting something into his pocket.
He dodged the wavering revolver and
backed toward the door, pulling Law-
son with him.
" I’m going to finish this!” yelled
Lnwsoo.
Myers clutched at him and pulled
him into the hall. Joan heard Myers’
eager whispers, and Lawson’s strug
gles and angry muttering gradually
subside.
Then she heard them enter the sec
retary’s room, and, forgetting them
Instantly, she bent over Lancaster and
raised his head upon her knee.
He was breathing heavily.
The
blow had only stunned him. Joan
tried to lift him upon the bed, but he
was too heavy for her. As she was
attempting to do
however, thevdoor
opened and Mrs. Fraser came in.
“ I found a key,” she whispered,
trembling.
"I heard them fighting.
Heaven help me, what lias that devil
done to the doctor?”
"H e isn’t badly hurt.” said Joan.
“ Help me get him upon the bed.”
Mrs. Fraser and Joan succeeded.
Lancaster lay there, still unconscious.
The matron clung heavily to the bed
stead, looking at Joan piteously.
” 1 know’ It all now,” she muttered.
“ I should have known before If I’d
listened to the Millville gossip. That
devil Is his brother.”
•
“ Yes,” said Joan shortly. "What
are you going to do, Mrs. Fraser?’’
" I ’m going to stand by the doctor,”
the woman answered. "I stood by him
year after year when I thought he
| was possessed by an evil spirit.
Wouldn't I stand by him now?”
"Good.” said Joan.
"And I, too.
Tomorrow we’ll make short work of
those men."
"Heaven save you, you don't know
that man. Miss Wentworth,” muttered
the matron. "H e ’s a devil. He lias
no pity. And lie lias a devil ten times
worse than himself.”
"Myers? Who is he?”
"H e was Ids assistant here, lie was
tried once, they tell me, for poisoning
his sweetheart. He sent her candy—
but they couldn't find any poison in
her body. It was his master made the
unal.vsis, and he lied to get Myers free
and have Ids hold on him. it's all
plain to me now. Miss Wentworth.”
" I f you knew this,” said Joan, "you
should have told me; you should have
told the police, told anyone rulher
than let him drug Doctor Lancaster
day after day.”
“ I thought It was I he doctor who
was in league with him.” the matron
muttered.
"Mies

I’m
timid. I’m easily frightened, hut not

morrow—”
"Yes. tomorrow." said Joan. “ You’d
better go to bed now. Mrs. Fraser, i’ll

and tomorrow we’ll end these years

Think of him as » free man.
The past is all behind us.”
The matron slipped mu ay stealthily
ro her room. Joan took her seat be
side Lancaster, listening to the inco
herent muttering« which had begun.
Presently bis eyes opened. He stared
at her for some minutes until recog
nition came into them.
"Joan!” he whispered, stretching
out Ills ha mi to hers.
She let him take and hold it. and
sat beside him. while he began mut
tering again
Gradually he begun to
realize where he was and to re-
memlier.
"It Is all true. then. Joan.” he said.

“ Why, John?”
“ Because I could not have Imagined

"Those are the w’ords of a sick
man," said Joan. “ Tomorrow you will

be strong. Why, hardly a man on
earth could do what you have done
with the morphine.”
"I suppose 1 shall carry on my
fight,” lie answered wearily.
"But
victory will mean nothing to me."
"I shall stand by your side until I
have seen you conquer, and until I
have seen you happy in your success.”
"And then, Joan?”
“ Then?
Then I shall go some
where, I suppose.”
"Go away? From me? Is It be

"Because of her, John.’*
"But she Is nothing to me. She

“ One can t

"You do not love me. Joan.”
She turned her face away; t**are
that filled her eyes came from the
depths of her being. Lancaster took
both her hands In Ids.
"You love me. .loan?”
" T o o well to wrong you and my
self.' she answered.
"Too well to

So well that I would rather let the

Ho drew her toward him. and she
remained v ith her cheek re sling
against his. with his arms about her.
She could not stir A strange physical
lethargy seemed to hold her limbs, hut
her will was unshaken.
“ Your last word, Joan?" whispered
Lancaster.
“ No. dear.” she answered.
The hum*irons look that came at
such odd momtr.ta Info Lancaster’s
eyes flickered there now. "Your very
last?" lie asked.
"O. don’t ask me to deny my rewo-
^Ution.,’ »he sold.
She released herself and stood be
side him. As she «lid so she had a
sensation as If her feet rested on a
cushion of air. Her physical weak
ness was matched by her •*n»e of in
stability; she longed with all her
heart to leun within the arms out
stretched toward her; she knew that,
if she had given Lancaster life, he
could give her the strength of life ;
he was of her own people, and all that
was chivalric and dear in the lund
she had loved seemed embodied In
him. And before her she saw the
closing hospital walls of some far dis
tant c ity : she must exile herself from
everything that she had known.
"You little stubborn thing, Joan!”
said Lancaster tenderly. "But I shall
go on loving you.”
“ I shall love you John.”
" I shall hear from you sometimes?”
"Yes. And I shall remain in Avon-
mouth until your battle is won. But
there will he no battle. They know’
that they aro beaten. You will never
he weak again.”
“ No,” said Lancaster. “ But, O Joan,
If you had said 'yes’ to me it would
have been so easy.”
With tlie maternal feeling that 1»
part of every woman’s love for the
man she loves, she stooped and kissed
his forehead.
“ You must try to sleep now,” she
said.
" I shall leave the revolver
with you, and you shall lock your
door.”
“ I am not afraid of them,” he an
swered. "They can do nothing, Joan.
Keep it to assure you of your own
safety.”
That seemed the better way. There
was nothing that the pair could do
to Lancaster. If they aimed at any
one it would be she. She suw’ that,
and she went out without speaking to
Lancaster again.
In the hall she
breathed more freely. It was ended
now, and she knew that she had done
the right thing, the only possible
tiling.
But Lancaster had not sur
mised the terrific woman's battle
which she had fought during those
last fewT minutes.
She stood in tlie hall for a few mo
ments in uncertainty.
She did not
mean to sleep, hut to lie awake with
her door open, resting, and listening
for any movements in the house. But.
though her brain was awake, she was
more tired than she had ever been
in her life. She could hardly drag
her limlw upstairs, and again she had
that sense of walking on air. Under
the little burning lamp she stopped
again to gather strength to go to her
room. The ticking of the clock in
the hall below was tlie only sound in
the house. She strained her ears to
catch the sound of voices from Myers’
room, but she could hear nothing.
Yet tlie men could not be asleep.
They must he planning together.
Tlie silence in the ramshackle old
building was a ghastly one. It seemed
to hide innumerable thoughts, as if
those o f all who had ever lived within
its walls survived, breaking upon her
brain in Invisible waves. She felt en
meshed in a web, as the dreamer who
struggles to wake into free life from
the horrors of nightmare. The wind
had gone down, und tlie raindrops
drip(M*d rhythmically from the eaves.
Joan had an Intense inclination to
surrender, to run back into Lancas
ter’» room, cry to him to help her. to
let her fight beside him as long as
they lived. And the si*« nee, which
was becoming more terrific every mo
ment, was unmistakably malevolent.
She reached her room and tried to
<liake away her fears. She went to
tlie window and leaned out. The night
was clearing, and a delicious air blew
in from the hills. Not a 1‘glit was to
he seen In Millville or Lancaster. And
she wept again, heartbroken. It w’as
all ended, that peace which had begun
to Inclose her, and all her hopes, and
all that love within was bourn] up so
intimately with the Idea of home.
