Thoroughly aroused, he rose to his feet and reached the figure on the fioor just in time to hear an agonized gasp, the word two-forty-eight mut- tered, a throaty gurgle, - and then that awful stillness again. Terrified, the assistant bent over and gazed fearfully at the body. Searching intently, his eyes caught the gleam of silver. Looking more closely, he saw a hilt of a knife inlaid in silver resting between the shoulder blades. Trembling, but not daring to resist the impelling force, he turned the figure again on its back.

Having previously made up his mind that the number 6248 referred to a page in the book, he eagerly opened the book to that page. To his great delight he found some Words written in a foreign language on the margin of the page. Run- ning upstairs, he grasped a foreign dic-
