think his pet Illusion is that he is Sir
Harry Grahame, the hero of the In
dian mutiny-"
..Ah, how sad; but / have met with
hundreds of such cases"
Yes, sad indeed, for the poor fellow
is still in the prime of life. And now,
let nc warn You. We humor these
little tricks Of the imagination"
"Of course understand"
$50 that it would be kind of you to
carry on the deception"
Certainly. I viii be discreet
Occasionally he breaks ont, ia
which case 7 have n reserve of brute
force in the shape OF 81 stout English
man, once q trooper in my regiment,
who has strength enough to manage
. him"
You did not tell me the name of your
invalid, Capt. Archer"
NO. And for family reasons do
I not care to do so. With MS he goes by
the name OF the particular hero with
whom he for the time being is identify
ing himself"
AS Sir Harry Grahame, for instauce2"
.'ExactIv. Now let mo introduce You.
BY what name, by the bye?"
/ Arthur Dunbar dashed boldly at
/ pseudonym-
''Arthur-JOhu Arthur % he said, with
/ out blush.
''One of the Arthurs Of Derbyshire?"
/ EXACTLY"
Then, by Jove, I know one of your
/ Izinsmen-Piers Calverly Arthur, of the
/ Queens Buys-as gay a lad as ever
crossed a horse or threw main of
/ dice"
"Ah, poor Tiers." Dunbar sighed,
. hypocri-ically-
''Nes, poor bc gar, he went to the
. dors-Ioc3s, stock and barrel, but he
was q good sort before nc got into the
hands OF the jews"
Then followed the introduction tothe
/ baronct, who acknowledged the cere-
/ mouy with q vacant stare, and betoolS
/ himself again to strolzinT the dogs head,
which the loving creature had rested on
his knee, his brown eyes pecring into
his masters face with an intensity
which was almost human in its mute
expression.
uubar gladly accepted Capt. Archer
invitation to spend few days under his
hospitaJlc roof, his host assuring him
that there was an abundance of game
in the n1i-lborhoOd, and that hG would
eventually send him on his way towards
Colombo. To tell the truth, Capt.
Archer was rather glad of the youna
. mans visit; first because it relieved
the mOuotony OF the dull life Inc led
and secondly because it would be q
good card to play to send young man
of high family back to civilization with
the report that the European gentle,
man assuming to be Sir Harry GruhumC
was merely . harmless luuatic Uudel

% Dunbar that he was o villain of tho
, lowest type of human degradation
