was winter -time and the rain was
mg drearily and heavily. The Professor Was
seated i
by the fire,„ smoking and at
the pattern on the wall. : He heard: -a: key .
funible at lock of the door outside and
then a tap at the door of the roem-in-which.•
he -sat, "'' •
"Come in,"- said the 'Professor • and the

not hear it. He sat.staritig at the pattern '
on the wall, and thinking, thinking. -Sleep-
less nights and feverish days, and paisionate
love, half Stifled by passionate study, had
worn hini to a shadow. He found his mem-
ory fail him strangelyat tinies„ so that What
was said done a week ago seemed to have

tiring' it with extreme care' and, having 're-
placed the phial,' he teasedoff the contents

on her lover. , That genial youngster: took -
