moment, then with quiet dignity drew
from his pocket and handed me his
card, which read simply:

Del Mar had scarcely registered at

Back again in the Prince Henry

His door was now locked. He did
not have to deny himself to visitors

First of all he tied handkerchief

With an exclamation of satisfaction

city, Del Mar threw OF his heavy coat.
The valet hastened to assist him in
removing the clothes, still wet and

Scarcely had Del Mar changed his
clothes than he received two visitors.

The fight was short and sharp, with
every evidence of being genuine. One
of the men managed to break away
and jump the garden wall, with Del
Mar and one of the policemen after
him, while the other only reached the
wall to be dragged down by the other
policeman.
