must have been made by pair of pinch

MY knowledge, wore glasses, and as
Baudnui was never seen without thcui,
than similarity occurred to me. Next
my glance wandered to his long finger
nails and their grewsome points. and
Bantiuni popped into my head again.
Then what should enter my mind but
that fl was Kola himself who had often
USED that foreign idiom. contained in
the letterto Miss Huntington And now
we know that Kolais a hypnotisto rare

For O moment the young officer hung

with nothing but failure. Mr.. Hen

"Ah that would be too badl" said
Hendricks, with touch of genuine sym
