Things turned out as the doctor had

That night. as Sir John lay awake
thinking about his patient. the most dar-
Ing scheme he had ever thought OF flashed
through his mind. The audacity of the
thing frightened him. and yet 1t fascinat-
cd him. as dld It's amazing possibilities.
Could he do It? He realized that. should
he attempt to plunge. he must rely solely
upon his ready wit TO carry him through

sent the housekeeper out to buy Daily

principal items was vivid account OF
the disappea rance from the Hotel Cecil of
the well-known American millionaire. Mr..
Henry Meadows. From published inter-

Robert Paul, Sir John gathered that Mr..
Paul had last seen his employer about
5 80, after dinner, when. the work OF the
day being over, he had been dismissed.

actually seen the millionaire leave. One

the hotel when questioned, corroborated
this by saying that. while he did not
know Mr.. Meadows personally, he had
certainly been sitting at the table indi-

who said he belonged to Chicago until
the time mentioned. That created the
alibi Sir John wanted for he had dread

man at the Albany. That occurrence
took place at o'clock. Here was prlnla
facie evidence that Mr. Meadows was
still at the Hotel Cecil at 1890,

pleased with the marked improvement in
