Kenneth Greenwood sa,t staring at Tulking in horrified ei'enoe. The signi&cance of what he had heard was so overwhelming that he could not grasp it all a.t once. Presently his lungs nlled with a g'asp, and then stifling into a. moan ths impulse to shriek out his despair, he ran out of th.3 hou&e and rushed ewiftiy away in the darkness, an unmanned, hope. less, wreck—neeing from the unknowable and unseen.

They commenced to qua?Tel with her Proe'ecutnx, seei'ng tha,t the men were the worse for drink, ordered them out of the hoaae. She asked two men who were in the back sitting-room to hold her huBba,nd bo.ck, while she pushed Rosario into the street, and the two other men fol- lowed. Rosario then wae a.!]&ged to have tarned round and struck her in the face wiih a knife. She banged the door.
