Public Administrator found an envel-

sheets Of tough parchment, with writ

Lowing entry, in Vizeen's stubby back
hand:
'Dr. Hamilton will rank as the
worlds greatest anatomist, scientist
and genius. He has successfully chang

In my old hand, and he believed 1 had
killed myself. 1t is great fun, and
sweet revenge for his old brutality"
The last entry ran thus, bearing a
date shortly after Signett's death:
II did not mean to kill Signett when
1 appeared before him on that fatal
day; but when 1 spoke to him in vi
zeen's old tenor voice, with the light
hair and eyes of my former self in
