"Could he have gone home any other

"Not nearer than Balota." said the

count would scarcely have done that"
Ny friend, as chief officer upon the rail

of his Office, cherished an obvious scorn
for the old fashioned method Of travel

"Still, +" I said, ''if he was in a great

suggestion Of any person Of light and
