Gentle saw before him burly man
of sixty, gray haired. with bristling
gray mustache waxed at the ends, a
man dressed with unobtrusive taste.
But it was the face that commanded
his attention. The steely eyes had
held him from the first. He now noted
the stern brow, with the fold between
the eyebrows; the iron jaw, the lines
at the corners Of the grim mouth. the
straight. short nose, which suggested
Kitchener.
But the old diver, accustomed to
picking strong, healthy men for the
dangerous work of which he had
charge, saw something else which the
cartoonists failed to suggest in their
drawings. He saw as plainly as John
Us famous physician that the million
aire was not a we'll man. The pallor
of his face, the color of his eyeballs
the wrinkled circles beneath them, the
momentary scantness of breath, al
