 A month passed. and tho excitement over the mystery was subsiding when Stranger received another letter. This time the postmaster reported that the recipient had left the room before open ing his letter, so that it was impossible to tell how. whatever intelligence 1t contained. it affected him.

 Gradually persons began to walk down the road. halting here and there where they could get a good view of Stranger, who was sitting on a stump.
