der medium height, slender and un.

himself with certain quiet assurance
that commanded attention. He was
as gray as a badger, and his lean,
smooth-shaven face resembled fooled

There was a conspicuously alert
look about his steady gray eyes, Van
Vechten also noted, which presently
disclosed habit Of narrowing and re-

corners. This single change of facial

indicating one of two moods-concen-

else a smiling humor that made one

his visitor would be chary of speech,
but that whatever he might say would
be well worth hardening to.

queried the newcomer in tone that

Instantly the steady eyes contracted
and wrinkled at the corners. The
young man all at once discovered that
his irritation was evaporating, and
that he could smile in sympathy with
his visitor.

The steady, smiling regard still met
the young mans.
I'll demonstrate Just how simple a
matter it is-if you have pardoned this
intrusion?"
The listener nodded. His attention
was already won.
Have you any idea how the poor
chan met his death?" he queried.
