ward as far as the remaining chain would permit, and
extending the other arm, to which dangled the end of the chain which
he had broken, he drew it back and then switched the dangling links
viciously towards Mr. Barnes, narrowly missing him. As he saw that
even now he could not reach the detective, he uttered a cry of rage,
and again and again endeavored to strike him with the dangling chain.
But it was useless. Mr. Barnes was beyond his reach. Finally, with a
cry of despair, the Doctor threw himself in a heap upon the floor, now
weeping, now laughing, and shrieking madly:

"They say I am a Wizard! Ha! Ha! Ha! A Wizard! I a Wizard, and I
cannot kill a man! Such a simple thing, and yet I cannot do it! A
Wizard! I a Wizard! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

His Sanatoxine experiment had proven successful. Dr. Emanuel Medjora
was a maniac!

THE END.
