ter! What sort of a spot was this, and what was the doom that had befallen the child committed to my care. Numb with horror, I rang the door-bell with difficulty, and when I was admitted by a man in the Miralem Pjanic Jersey guise of an officer, I felt something like an instantaneous relief, though I saw by his countenance that he had any thing but Patrice Evra Jersey good news to give me.
“Are you the gentleman who telegraphed from S——?” he asked.
I bowed, not feeling able to speak.
“Relative or friend?” he went on.
“Friend,” I managed to reply.
“Do you guess what has happened?” he inquired.
“I dare not,” I answered, with a fearful look about me on walls that more than confirmed my suspicions.
“Miss Merriam is dead,” he answered.
I drew a deep breath. It was almost a relief.
“Come in,” he said, and opened the door of a room at our right. When we were seated and I had by careful observation made sure we were alone, I motioned for him to go on. He immediately complied. “When we received your Kingsley Coman Jersey telegram, we sent a man here at once. He had some difficulty in entering and still more in finding the young lady, who was hidden in the most remote part of the house. But by perseverance and some force he at last obtained entrance to her room where he found — pardon my abruptness, Belstaff Naima Jackor it will be a mercy to you for me to cut the story short — that he had been ordered here too late; the young lady had taken poison and was on the point of Real Madrid Tröja death.”
The horror in my face reflected itself faintly in his.
“I do not know how she came to this house,” he proceeded; “but she must have been a person of great purity and courage; for though she died almost immediately upon his entrance, she had time to say that she had preferred death Atletico Nacional Pelipaita to the fate that threatened her, and that no one would River Plate Pelipaita mourn her for she had no friends in this country, and her father would Ungarn Fodboldtrøjer never hear how she died.”
I sprang wildly to my Hernanes Jersey feet.
“Did she mention no names?” I asked.
“Did she not say who brought her to this hell of hells, or murmur even with her dying breath, one word that would guide us in fixing this crime upon Los Angeles Galaxy Tröja the head of her who is guilty of it?”
“No,” answered the officer, “no; but you are right in thinking it was a woman, but what woman, the creature below evidently does not know.”
Feeling that the situation demanded thought, I composed myself to the best of my ability.
“I am the Rev. David Barrows of S— — ” said I, “and my interest in this young girl is purely that of a humanitarian. I have never seen her. I do not even know how long she has been in this country. But I learned that a girl by the name of Grace Merriam had been beguiled from her boarding-place here in this city, and fearing Renato Augusto Jersey that some terrible evil had befallen her, I telegraphed to the police to look her up.”
The officer bowed.
“The number of her boarding-place?” asked he.
I told him, and not waiting for any further questions, demanded if I might not see the body of Yerry Mina Jersey the young girl.
