s she had done on
the first occasion of her visiting the Baths.
"Are you going?" she called out. "How is it I never saw you pass
through the room?"
There was no answer--only the deep, wonderful eyes looked mournfully
back at her, and, even as she met the gaze, the form seemed to fade
away--the archway was vacant.
With a faint cry, Mrs Jefferson sprang to her feet, and rushed into the
inner room. The intense heat stifled, and drove her back; but not
before she saw the Princess lying on the couch, where she had left
her... lying with closed eyes and folded hands; while on her pale, sad
lips a faint smile seemed still to shed its lingering life.
The frantic calls of the terrified woman summoned the attendants. In a
moment, that motionless figure was lifted and carried into the adjoining
chamber.
But human science and human aid were powerless before a greater Mystery
than the Princess Zairoff had embodied. The "Mystery of Death!"
