Kate stood an instant under the light, studying the situation.

The dark eyes in the narrow face looked appealingly at her.

The woman tried to speak, but gasped for breath.
Kate saw that she had heart trouble.
"The remedy! Where is it ?" she cried.
The woman pointed to a purse on the dresser.

Kate opened it, took out a small bottle, and read the directions.

In a second, she was holding a glass to the woman's lips; soon she was better.
