TAKA

he followed, closing the door. For the moment, as is sometimes the case under the pressure of real danger, all fear left her, and she stood with her back to him, removing her hat and arranging her hair before the mirror. Then, through the glass, she caught sight of him advancing upon her, and over his face played a smilethe most hideous she had ever seen. It was the smile of a man who had gambled and lost and was making one last effort in desperation to regain his treasure. The last desperate effort consisted of a small two-edged dagger, the point of which meant death. As he advanced behind her, trembling all over, she managed to snatch open a drawer of her writing desk and pulled out a small revolver. Aiming it at him, she pulled the trigger-but Taka had been previously circumspect. He had unloaded it. For the moment she lost command of her voice and the next instant she was powerless to call for help, for with great exactness he had grasped her throat firmly in his left hand in such a way as to prevent her screaming. With his right he raised the dagger to plunge it into her heart with one stroke and in just the right spot.

Taka stumbled and released her, and after a quick glance into Robinson's face, which was no longer appraising, a wave of desperation swept over him, and he plunged the dagger into his own heart. Abandoned by Robinson, nothing was left for him.

"Poor fellow," was all Robinson said as he stepped across the prostrate body and took Miriam in his arms. but she was quick to note the flash of grief that passed over his face even as he held her and calmed her with his wellcontrolled voice.

"You must get away from this. little girl," he said, and led her across the hall, but even as he soothed her she knew the devotion had not been one-sided and that in one corner of his heart would remain the scar which had been made by the dagger of Taka.
