I ex- amined carefully the few persons standing and talking in the corridors, but I did not see any one who looked at all like any of the members of Tou- teu's gang whom I knew. I was returning and had reached the rear end of our car when I heard a scream Just behind me and a door crashed open. I turned involuntarily. A woman in black, with a veil flying around her pale face, ran into the corridor, resitated and then seized my arm, "Oh, Monsieur: My husband! He is so ill," she cried in Freneh, "He dies at this moment, I pray ycu, have you a flask?" I slipped past her into the compart- ment, flask in hand. One of the elec- trics was on, and by its light I discern- ed the body of a man huddled face down on the floor in the midst of a lifter of baggage and wraps. I dropped the flask on one of the seats, and lean- ed over to hoist the pian up. The roan was breathing, stertor- eusly, long, labored gasps. - I started to lift him—and my wrists were caught in a human vice.

"But what else was there to do? Could you keep them away from her?" "No, Marilyn was' a baby, and Han- nah had full charge of Richard all the morning, even taking him up when he •awoke.
