Philip. leaning back TO laugh. for

the queer trick that even the events
in the life of an individual have Of re-
peating themselves.
In one day. after an interval OF many
years. he had been suddenly confront

Did he but know how far the his
torical parallel had gone that day-how
Jocky Mason had waited for hours out
side his residence in the hope OF seeing
him and becoming acquainted with his
appearance-he might have been sur
prised. but he would never have guess
ed the evil that this man would accom-
plish, and in some measure accomplish
unconsclously.
