He dropped her hand and started to move away, evidently realizing his danger.
Rose crept swiftly into the building and watched the moving form of her lover through the window.
"Halt!"
She heard the cry, and saw a police baton uplifted over the head of the man who had just left her side.

Presently there came a bright flash and sharp report. Rose was petrified with horror as she gazed.
The policeman sank in a heap to the walk, while a voice outside shouted:
"Murder!"
