hair was stiff. very abundant, and dark
brown, with dashes of iron-gray. His
face was of the round German type;
his eyes were steely gray, and shot with
strange spots of brown, which, with
his long lashes, gave a peculiar effect to
his glance. He wore heavy beard

'You have guessed it," faltered
WILDLY.
"You think Mr.. Strong was hypno-

YES"
"That you may have been hypnotized
and made the murderer's tool for per-
forming the act?"
"Yes."
