N the way to St. Win
ifred’s? with Brenda
Mr. Barnes and Mr.
Haggerty exerted
tbem.selves to be en
tertaining. By way
of a <onv , er *
vition and showing
that i-r-o::a! interest which lady al
ways aj.pre' iates Mr. Barnes mention
ed the singular circumstance tLat he
happene<l to know a mao who had seen
Mir- Madam* that afternoon. He won
dered whether Miss Mac-lane could
guess where it was that this man had
s. n her. Upon Brenda’s aeknowledg
is g that she was unable to solve this
riddle Mr. Barnes kindly gave her a
clew.
"If you could remember where you
were at precisely ten minutes to 3,” be
said, "why, that would settle it.”
Brenda smiled at the great astute
ness of Mr. Barn.-s, hut she declined to
be led into a review of her movements
that afternoon. Mr. Haggerty then
struck into the conversation with the
remark that it was curious how people
could forget where they had been, and
he instanced the case of a young lady
who had lost an excellent alibi in a
criminal affair through the error of not
taking ’he police into her confidence
at an early stage of the proceedings,
while the facts were fresh in her mind.
Brenda suggested that perhaps the
lady did not fully trust the police,
whereupon Mr. Barnes asserted warm
ly that that was the greatest mistake
possible to a human being.
“Always trust the jfolice,” he said.
“Guilty or innocent, it’s the only thing
to do.”
At the hospital it became immedi
ately evident that Barnes and Hagger
ty Lad encountered a mysterious and
formidable obstacle. They were about
to accompany Brenda into the recep
tion room, and she bad begun to fear
that they might never leave her while
she remained in the building, but for
some lnscrntable reason they vanished,
aud Brenda's last glimpse showed
them obviously crestfallen.
She had leou somewhat lightened in
spirits bv the absurd comedy played
by these dull wilted men. It had end
ed, however, and the real significance
of the drama again asserted itself.
The reception room of St. Winifred’s
is lofty and hare, and there was a chill
air in It even oq that sultry June even
ing. Brenda observed that the place

with a visible trembling, and the stal

"She i-an never rememlter w*iat she

may be that she neither saw nor heard
the &ssas;n. As to the wound. I hard
ly know- what to say. The knife enter
ed between the first and second ribs
and passed downward very close to the
bc-dy wall. Ordinarily it would be al
most impossible to inflict such a
wound. The assassin must have been
singularly ignorant of anatomy to
strike downward at suc-b a spot, for the
chances were a thousand to one that
the bony structure would protect the
vital parts. The knife should have
cleared the first rib and hit fairly
against the second. But it happens that
Miss Miller received an injury on this
precise spot years ago, as a result of
which the first rib is somewhat de
pressed. Thus the murderer was favor
ed by an extraordinary chance. His
idea was. first, to escape being seen by
her. and. second, to strike at the front
of the body while standing behind in
order to av. id the blood that must fol
low the blow. Hating struck, be un
doubtedly supposed that he had reach
ed the heart, and only a miracle pre
vented. Our ambulance surgeon believ
ed that the wall of the heart was punc
tured and that a clot of blood was stop
ping the wound, as happens once in a
million times. That is not the case. Not
only did the knife miss the heart, but
It missed the arteries in a way that on
ly divine Providence can account for.
So the tir-t effusion of blood was not
followed by the fatal drain that might
have been expected. Do 1 make myself
clear':”
"I understand enough.” said Brenda.
*T know that site may recover, and 1
thank God with all my soul.”
There was a pause, during which
Kendall’s embarrassment, that had
l>een less noticeable while his mind was
bent upon a description of Elsie’s in
jury. once more asserted itself. Brenda
observed that his face was flushed and
his forehead moist, and she was puz
zled.
"Have you told her that I am here?”
she asked. “Does she wish to see me?”
“We have not mentioned it.” he re
plied, "but you need have no hesita
tion. We have given her a very nice
room,” he hurried on. •■You'll find
that everything in the world is being
done for her. Shall we go in?”
The other physician then came for
ward. and Brenda gave him her hand,
though Kendall, in the extremity of his
embarrassment, forgot to utter the
form of presentation.
A straight and long corridor, the
longest, as it seemed to Brenda, that
mortal architect had ever designed, led
rearward to the part of the building in
wbicb Miss Miller had been sequester
ed. Kendall led the way. aud his col
league walked behind. For the third
time that day Brenda experienced the
sensation of surrendering her volition.
The hospital became a prison: site was
being marched to some deep cell be
yond the reach of rescue or the light of
day. Then, in a moment, she saw Dr.
Kendal! open a door and step back that
she might pass l>efore him.
Brenda’s first glance happened to fall
directly upon the face of the patient,
and she cannot truly be said to have
seen anything else in the room. The
bod was only an indistinct splash of
white. The bare walls, the plainly
curtained window, the nurse in profile,
motionless as a figure on tapestry, en
tered into the feeling, but not Into the
view of the scene. She beheld only
that sweet and sad little face, so pret
ty. so maidenly and tender. And the
real essence of this despicable crime,
the Inconceivable inhumanity of it,
seemed to speak stra ; ght to Brenda’s
heart in that language of nature which
is without words.
Elsie’s brown eyes opened wide.
They had been half closed, and she
had been looking at heaven knows
what: nothing in that room surely,
notuing tuai ever had been anywhere
perhaps. They turned to Brenda with
utter surprise.
“Miss Madaue!” she cried in a weak
voice, but distinct as the tone of a little
silver bell. “You have come to see
me! How kiud of you!” Ttaen sudden
! ly. "Why did you do it?”
Brenda sank upon her knees beside
the bed and took Elsie’s band.
“It was an impulse—a mere Impulse,”
, she said: “but I am very glad I came.
