Swept ON by fervor of anxiety on

quickly about the study to assure HIM

most searching inspection revealed
nothing amiss. He moved on to the

notable discoveries For he was quick
TO note the fact that one of the dead
mans hands was tightly clenched,
while the other lay half-open and
limp. The former was closed upon a
leather thong so stout as to resist any
attempt to break it by main strength,

found it necessary to sever it with
a knife. The knife itself was there,
for proof of this; the sheen of light
