THE VENGEANCE

My eccentric friend, Stanhope
Heo, made this remark as we set

smoking-room of the dining-car al
Albany. He spoke inditferently,
almost languidly, as was his way.
The man to whom be referred

Indeed, had almost knocked
against him, upon which he had
apologized profusely. He was

of dandified appearance, precise
in dress and manner. His hands
were elegantly gloved, and ths del

perfume enveloped him.

in the street. 1t was found at the
post mortem that he had died
from the effects of poison, pre-.
