but at a hotel, and as soon as possible
settled all the affairs of the estate which
needed his presence, and returned to
London. He listened to all the theories
as to the preparation Of the crime with
deep attention, and only made one re-
mark. When the circumstances Of there
having been found the marks of two
knees and ten toes, and Of only one hand,
young Hunston said:
"Islt not just possible that those marks
were made by my father himself? He
might have fallen, for you know he was
fond of going among the fower-beds
and examining leaves and beetles and
worms and such like
This set Lawyer Terwhit thinking.
The doctor was a proverbially careless
man in his attire, and if he had fallen on
the damp soil, as suggested, his clothes
would show it. They were examined

-, WATCHED.
When young Hunston Quilted Wisbeach
he went to Peterboro to await the London
coach, for the time, he it remembered,
was before railroads. The morning fol-
lowing the coach started, with Hunston
on the box seat near the driver. On one
OF the rear seats set a Well-to-do farmer
comfortably but plainly dressed When
the coach reached London this farmer
hurried away, but not for far. Once out
side the precincts OF the old Bull and
Mouth, On the Holburn, where the coach
stopped, he turned and posted himself in
a doorway. Soon young Hunston came
out and was seen to enter cab which had
been called for him. Suddenly a thought
seemed to stir the farmer, and he moved
toward the cab into which Hunston was
in the act of stepping.
In those days the number was placed
conspicuously on the outside, with the
licence, and the farmer had no difficulty
in ascertaining it. Then he inquired
OF the people in the hotel where the cab
| was, usually found, and later in the day
| sought the stand. The drivers mem
ory beng aided by a donation, he told
the farmer whittier he had driven Hun
sten.
"Drive me there too," the farmer said.
and in a moment Re was on his way to
the famous hostelry, the Golden Cross, at
Charing Cross.
A CONVERSATION.
Once lodged there, the farm er seemed
to be comfortable. He made the &C
qualntance of the landlady in her quiet

"Where does he keep his horses?" the
farmer inquired.
"Horses," the landlady replied; new

ooh! I thought you sailor itmight
have been somebody else-that he fell
from his horse and sprained or broke his
wrist" the farmer said.
"That is the first word I have heard
about it," the landlady answered. 'Still
it may be SO, for he was absent for a day
or two. and returned with his hand in d
sling as you see.''
'It must be painful and awkward for
young fellow like that to have to go
around in that way" the farmer re-

the landlady replied; Sat one time DR..
