Some OF the words could not be deci-

wearing high silk hat and wrapped in
81 heavy storm coat. This must be the
person who wished TO speak to him. The
man lounged about In an attitude of ex:
peotancy. as If he We're awaiting the

stranger on the arm. The man looked
down at him with surprise.

confidently.

held in his mouth.

When the chief reached the wharf
