A week passed and she returned, broken in spirit and body. Later, when her baby was born, she died. One night, while playing chess, old Sloane learns of the return to America of this man Watson and resolves to be revenged. Accordingly, it is arranged to have Watson come to the old man's house. Realizing that his perfidy is known, Watson tries to subject Sloane to his hypnotic will, but by his superior will-power Sloane subjects Watson, bringing to his mind a vision of the girl he wronged. Coming out of the trance, Watson is told that every night at 11 o'clock the same vision will appear to him. It so transpires, and later, driven to despair by the awful apparition, he takes an overdose of drugs and dies. Thus the Professor feels that his revenge is complete.
