"John," he said, tremulously, "I want you to swear to me by the
Sign that you will not touch my body -- nor anything on my body --
till the Arch-Councillor comes! Swear, as you hope for your own
happiness!" A wild illumination spread over his face; the
unpleasant fanatical light showed again in his eyes. For a moment
John looked at him; then stirred by his own emotions, by the new
pang of self-reproach and gratitude towards this half-crazy man so
near his end, he went forward and touched the small octagonal
symbol that gleamed in the light.
"I swear -- by the Sign!" he said, in a low, level voice. And
almost as the words escaped him, the chain slipped from old
Henderson's fingers, his jaw dropped, and his head fell forward on
his chest.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Two incidents, widely different in
character yet bound together by results, marked the night of
January the twenty-third. On that night the blackest fog within a
four years' memory fell upon certain portions of London, and also
on that night came the first announcement of the border risings
against the Persian government in the province of Khorasan the
announcement that, speculated upon, even smiled at, at the time,
assumed such significance in the light of after events. At eight
o'clock the news spread through the House of Commons; but at nine
men in the inner lobbies were gossiping, not so much upon how far
Russia, while ostensibly upholding the Shah, had pulled the strings
by which the insurgents danced, as upon the manner in which the
'St. Geotge's Gazette', the Tory evening newspaper, had seized upon
the incident and shaken it in the faces of the government.
