 A letter to say that the men whom he had wronged had been set free."
 "Or had escaped That is much more likely, for he would have known what their term of imprisonment was. It would not have been n surprise to him. What does he do thcnH He guards himself against a wooden legged mana white man, mark ycu-for he mistakes a white tradesman for him, and actually fires a pistol at him. Now, only one white mans name is on the chart. The others are Hin. doos or Mohammedans. There Is no other white man. Therefore we may say with confidence that the wooden legged man is identical with Jonathan Small. Does the reasoning strike you as being faulty'"
 No; it is clear and concise"
 Well. now, let us put ourselves in the place of Jonathan Small. Let us look at it from his point of view. He comes to
  what he would consider to be his rights and of having his revenge upon the man who had wrongcd him. He found out where Sholto lived, and very possibly he established communication with some ono inside the house. There is this butler Lal Rao, whom we have not secn Mrs Bernstone gives him far from n good char acter. Small could not find out, however where the treasure was hid, for no one ever knew save the major and one faithful servant who had died. Suddenly Small learns that the major is on his deathbed In frenzy, lest the secret Of the treasure die with him, he runs the gantlet of the guards, makes his way to the dying mans window and is only deterred from enter, ing by the Tr,Srncc of his two sons Mad with hate, however against tho dead man, he cnter> ths' room that night, searches his private papers in the hope of discovering some memorandum relating to the treas ure and finally leaves a memento of his visit in the short inscription upon the card He had doubtless planned before hand that should he slay the major he would leave some such record upon the body as &s Il that 1t was not Q common murder, but !GOm the point ot view cs the four associates something in tkc nature of ar oot of justice Whimsical and Ei. zarre concctts of this kind are common enough in the annals of crime and usually afford valuable indications as to the crim inal.

 Very clearly.'
 Now, what could Jonathan Small dol He could only continue to keep a secret watch upon the efforts made to find the treasure, Possibly he leaves England and only comes back at intervals Then comes a of hn nl ha Sa sr stantly informed of it. We again trace the presence of tome confederate in the household. Jonathan, with his wooden leg is utterly unable to reach the lofty room of Bartholomew Sholto He takes with him, however, a very curious asso- ciate, who gets over this difficulty, but dips his naked foot into creosote, whence come Toby and six mile limp for half pay officer with damaged Achillis ten. do
 But it was the associate and not Jon athan who committed the crime"
 Quite so, and rather to Jonathans dis gust, to judge by the way he stamped when he got into tho room Hc boro no grudge against Bartholomew Sholto and would have preferred if ho could havo been sim ply bound and gagged Hc did not wish to put his head in d halter. There was no
 
 stincts of his companion had broken out and tho poison had done its work. so Jon. athan Small left his record, lowered the treasure box to the ground and followed it himself That was the train of events as far as can dccipher thom. Of course, as to his personal appearance, he must be middle aged and must be sunburnod after serving his time in such an oven as the Andamans His height is readily calcu. lated from the length of his stride, and we knew that he was bearded. His hairincss was the one point which impressed itself upon Thaddcus Sholto when hs saw him at the window l {, ..i :,.,"w that there Is anything cls"."

 That was like following the brook to the parent lake. He makes one curious but profound remark. It Is that tho chief proof of mans real greatness lies in his perception of his own smnllness, To argues. you sec. power of comparison and of appreciation which Is in itself a proof of nobility.

 We had during this time been following the guidance of Toby down the half rural, villa lined roads which lend to the me tropolis. Now, however, we were begin ming to come among continuous streets, whore laborers and dockmen wero already astir, and slatternly women weio taking down shutters and brushing doorsteps At the square topped corner public houses business was just beginning, and rough looking mon wcre emerging, rubbing their | sleeves across their boards after their morning wet. Strange dogs sauntcrcd up and stared wonderingly at us as we passed, but our inimitabie Toby looked neither to the right nor to the loft. but trotted on- ward with his nose to tho ground and an occasional eager whine, which spoke of . hot scent
