The immediate effect of that indi-

thrilling. Before anyone could lift a
hand to interfere the unknown leaped
at Rawlings and the two went to the
floor in fighting, snarling heap. They
thrashed about SO furiously that it was
impossible, until some seconds had
elapsed, for any of the several po-

Hazard and Miss Berte1 returned to

known. For upwards of an hour the
detective tried to assist the young
man to penetrate the veil that hung
over his past, but all to no purpose.

Miss Bertel, he repeated numerous
times all the names that must have
been familiar to anyone having con-
nection with the firms under consid-
Grafton, or any association with the
huge enterprise that was of such mo-
ment to his supposed confreres. The
unknown sat shaking his head and re-
peating: cit is all strange to me- or

silent but interested spectator, was

Without demur the young man seat

a hand and CROPPED for something he
could not find.
Next instant he started to his feet.
The pencil dropped from his fingers,
and like a man suddenly reused from

the girl.

He suddenly broke off and shouted:
