Stelnmetz was riding stubbornly

OF somewhat Germanic satisfaction.

embroidery as is done in St. Peters

"Ach!' exclaimed Steinmetz shortly
"Something told me that that was he.''
He turned the little piece of cambria
over and over, examining it slowly with
heavy Gernanic cunning. He had
taken this handkerchief from the body
of the nameless rider who was now w.

away.
Then he went toward the large black
stove which stands in the railway res

with the point of his boot The wood
was roaring and cracking within. He
threw the handkerchief in and closed
