fiuenzs. hay fever, diphtheritis, catsrrh-
ical affections Of the mucous membrane,

During my stay in Australia, where the
use of pure volatile eucalyptus extract

quite familiar. took particular interest
in its manufacture. The article there
universally in favor is manufactured at
Ssndhurst, Victoria, and exported to all

To the conditions on which the letter
insisted there is no need to allude. They
had been complied with when the discoy-
cries were made at the back of the mile
stone, and between the pages of Gibbons
History. Sir Giles had already arrived at
the conclusion that q conspiracy was in
progress to assassinate Kim, and perhaps
to rob the bank The wiser head clerk
pointed TO the perforated paper and the in
comprehensive writing received that
morning. IF we can find out what these
mean," he said, you may be better able.

And who is to do THAR" the banker
asked
II can but try, SIR" was the modest re-
ply, '.if you see no objection to my making
the attempt"
Sir Giles approved of the proposed ex-
pertinent, silently and satirically, by .
bend of his head.
Too discreet a man to make suspi-
ciously ready use of the information which
he had privately obtained, Dennis took
care that his first attempt should not be
successful After modestly asking per-
mission to try again, he ventured on the
second occasion to arrive at a happy dis
covery. Lifting the perforated paper. he
placed it delicately over the page which
contained the unintelligible writing:
Words and sentences now appeared
Through the holes in the paper in their
right spelling and arrangement, and ad-
dressed Sir Giles in these terms:
Il beg to thank you, sir, for complying
with my conditions. You have satisfied
me of your good faith. At the same time
1t is possible that you may hesitate to trust
a man who is not yet able to admit you to
his confidence. The perilous position in
which l stand obliges me to ask for two or
three days more Of delay, before can
safely make an appointment with you.
Pray be patient-and ON no account apply
for advice or protection to the policer"
"Those last words" Sir Giles declared,
''are conclusive. The sooner l am under
the care of the law the better Take my
card to the police office"

me?"

On ordinary occasions, the head clerk
was not a man accustomed to insist on
what was due to his dignity. At the
same time he was a sensible human being,
conscious Of the consideration to which
his responsible place in the Office entitled
him. Sir Giles irritating reserve, not
even excused by a word of apology. reach

Dennis rebuked, made his bow in sill
ence, and withdrew.
Did these acts of humility mean that he
submitted. They meant exactly the con-
trary. He had made up his mind that Sir
Giles Mountjoy's motives should, sooner
Or later, cease to be mysteries to Sir Giles

Carefully following his instructions. he
consulted the third volume of Gibbons
great History, and found, between the
Beventy-eighth and seventy-ninth pages,
something remarkable this time.
It was a sheet of delicately made paper,
pierced with a number of little holes, in
nnitely varied in size ana cut with the
smoothest precision. Having secured this
.AurlOus object, while the librarians back
was turned, Dennis Howmore reflected.
A page of paper. unintelligibly perfor-
ated for some purpose unknown, was in
itself suspicious thing. And what did
suspicion suggest to the inquiring mind
in Southwestern Ireland before the sup
preston of the Land League! UnQues-
6onably-Police!
On the way back to his employer the
bankers clerk paid a visit to an old friend
"A journalist by profession, and man OF
varied learning and experience as well.

still preserving the appearance of hui
