Fraeulein Anna and find a doctor.

"No--no." She grasped him with all her remaining strength; "stay with
me."

They entered the little room, which seemed to be in a glory of light,
for the sun striking across the low roof of the inn had caught the foamy
water-fall beyond, and the reflection of it on the white walls and
ceiling was dazzling.

Beside the bed she swayed and nearly fell.

"I won't undress," she murmured--"I'll just lie down."

She lay down with his help, turning her face to make a fond, hardly
articulate sound, and press her cheek against his. In a few minutes it
seemed to him that she was sleeping again. He softly went out of the
room and down-stairs. There, early as it was, he found Fraeulein Anna,
who looked at him with amazement.

"Where can I find a doctor?" he asked her; and they talked for a few
minutes, after which she went up-stairs beside him, trembling and
flushed.

They found Kitty lying on her side, her face hidden entirely in the
curls which had fallen across it, and one arm hanging. There was that in
her aspect which made them both recoil. Then Ashe rushed to her with a
cry, and as he passionately kissed her cold cheek he heard the clamor of
the frightened girl behind him. "Ach, Gott!--Ach Gott!"--and the voices
of others, men and women, who began to crowd into the narrow room.
