forty-four years of age. middle sized,
broad shouldered, with crisp. curling
black hair. and a short, stubby beard.
He was dressed in a heavy broad
cloth frock-coat and walstcoat, with
light-colored trousers and Immaculate
collar and cuffs. A top-hat, well
brushed and trim. was placed upon the
floor beside him. His hands were
clinohed and his arms thrown abroad.

as though his death-struggle had been
a grievous one, On his rigid face there
stood an expression of horror and, as
it seemed TO me, OF hatred, such as I

eruption of sickly plants separated each
of these houses from the street, and
was traversed by a narrow pathway,
yellowish In color, and consisting APP
parently of a mixture of clay and
gravel. The whole place was very
sloppy from the rain which had fallen
through the night. The garden was
bounded by a threc-foot brick wall with
a fringe of WOOD rails upon the top,
and against this wall was leaning a
stalwart police constable, surrounded
by a small lot of ~loafers, who craned
their necks and strained their eyes in
the vain hope of catching some glimpse
of the proceedings within.

would at once have hurried into the
house and plunged into a study of the

slowly down the path, or, rather, down

path, keeping his eyes rivcted upon the

an exclamation of satisfaction. There
were many marks of footsteps upon the
