Neither spoke till they reached the threshold; then Frank said: "Inez, does Manuel know you came for me ?" "Yes; he objected at first, but as the pain grew more acute, he begged us to do something for him.

I told him there was none to help save you.

He frowned a little, but nodded his head, and then I lost no time." They entered the apartment of the sufferer, and Inez started at the change which had taken place during her temporary absence.

Manuel feebly turned his head as the door opened, and his eyes brightened as they rested on Inez.
