He paused for a moment to listen. Yes, there were people present. There were sounds--Lord, it sounded like a fight! Transley rushed in. A man and a woman were reeling in each| other's arms. "I hate you! I »" e hate you!" the woman was cry- ing. "You coward! You cow- ard!" The woman was his wife. The man was--not Dennison Grant. Although Transley had a revol- ver in his pocket it was not his customary weapon, and his thought did not turn naturally to it. In this tremendous moment he forgot it altogether. He rush- ed in upon his wife's assailant, clutching at his throat. With the strength of a madman Drazk flung Zen to the ground, where she fell unconscious at his feet. Then he tore himself free from Transley's grip about his throat. The next moment the two men were swaying about ina struggle of death.
