CHAPTER ~.
AN INQUIRY.

AN 1NlSlItS1,
"Am r running Strangers Rest
here ?" Francis Sedgwick asked him
self when he emerged upon his porch
the morning after kent's visit.
The occasion of this query was a
man stretched fiat on the lawn, with
his feet propped up comfortably
against the stone wall. In this recum-
bent position he was achieving the
somewhat delicate feat OF smoking
a long, thin clay pipe. Except for this
plebeian touch he was of the most
elegance. His white
serge suit was freshly pressed. His
lavender silk hose. descending with

white hat covered his eyes against

ribbon. also pure white. depending
from his lapel buttonhole. suggested

after delivering his manuscript at
Kent's hotel, regarded this sartoriai
marvel with a doubt as 10 whether
il might not be a figment of latent
dreams Making a detour across the
grass, he attained to a side view of
the interioper's face. 1t repaid the

but the central parts of the face
were bronzed The jaw was long, lean
and bony. The cheek-bones were high; .
the mouth was large, fne-cut, and
firm: the nose. solid, set like rock.
At the sound OF footstep, the man
rushed his hat downward. revealing
