CHAPTER III.
THE MYSTERY OF THE DEATH WOUND.
“I woke up with the feeling that somebody had called to me, and I started to a sitting posture on the couch before I was aware where I was. Then, of course, a glance told me my surroundings.”
“And you still had the impression that somebody had called to you?”
“Yes.”
“Called your name?”
“Yes; and by my middle name, which is never used outside my immediate family. My father, mother and sister always call me Meadow, or Med.”
