Dawson took letter from envelop and read:

unusual quality; but we hope to have the necklace

"There!" he said, laid victim out
on the floor tied hand and foot and as powerless to
speak as though he had been born deaf and dumb.
"WeH just rifle your chest Cato, and stow you
away in the bath-tub with sofa cushion under
your head to make you comfortable, and bid you
farewellnot re1Oir, Cato but just plain farewell
forever"
The words were hardly spoken before the deed
was accomplished. Tearing aside poor Cato's vest
and shirtfront, Dawson placed himself in possession
of the treasure from Bar, LIE Clerc & Co. after

That's it, said Dawson. Its a
necklace that Mr.. Cato is bringing up
to Sir Henry Darlington, and once in
his possession it's Sir Henry for some
place on one of these folders"
Why don't they send it directly
here?" inquired
1t is better for Darlington to en-

Co, and not to bank too much on the
Hotel Powhatan, that's why" said
Dawson. What's the good of having
bankers like that back of you if you
don't underscore their Endorsement?
