When he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Preston staring at the door as if entranced, her face marble with horror. "I gave him a hypodermic injection. He will sleep a few hours," Sommers muttered, throwing himself into a chair. Mrs. Preston sat down at the table and folded her arms about her face. Her figure shook with her silent sobs.
"Why wouldn't you write to me oftener?" "I don't like to write letters. Mine to Mary were scarcely more than notes. Ask her. Are you satisfied now? Am I a sphinx a conundrum any longer?" "No; and at last I am more than content that you are not little Madge." "Why, this is famous, as Dr. Sommers says. When was a man ever known to change his mind before?"
He seemed to forget his pain, his fears and his suspicions as he listened, and when Sommers had concluded he laughed heartily, then he added, hurriedly: "You must get an axe also, and bury that with the clothes; that was " He stopped abruptly, as though afraid of saying too much, and Sommers looked inquiringly into his face.
"I should like to talk that over with you some other day," Sommers interposed positively, "when I have more time. I am sorry that I shall have to leave at once." After a moment, he added, "And if you have any one in mind for my place, don't bother " Lindsay waved his hand. "We never have to 'bother' about any member of our force." "Oh! very well.

Mr Talbot had still charge of the prize, and having Sommers as his lieutenant, with Dickey Snookes and me, he was ordered to carry her back to Sierra Leone. We flattered ourselves that both My Lord and Polly looked at us with a considerable amount of envy as we wished them farewell. Once more we were at sea.
The young men belonged to the "nicer" people, who knew each other in a friendly, well-bred way. It was a comfortable, social kind of picnic of the better classes. Most of the younger men, and Sommers with them, got into the omnibus waiting at the Lake Forest station, and proceeded at once to the club.
His eyes were suspiciously reddened under the lids, and his cheeks had rather more bloat than the doctor remembered. He was dead, sure enough, at peace at last, and the special cause for the ending was of little importance. Sommers proceeded to make an examination, however; he would have to sign a certificate for the health officers.
