When did you hear Of it?' said
Cazalet.
1T was on the tape at the Savoy

Kingston Court on my way to call
upon Miss Blanche. You see, was
kind of interested in all you'd told me
about the case"
"Wen?'
We'll, that was my end of the situa-
ton. AS luck and management would
have it between them, was in time to

Not my man, please! You thought
Of him yourself" said Cazaiet sharply.
We'll, anyway, was in time to hear
the proceedings opened against him.
They were all over in about minute.
He was remanded till next week"
How did he look?" and, "Had he a
beard?" demanded Cazalet and
Blanche simultaneously.
HE looked like a sick man" said
Toye, with something more than his
usual deliberation in answering or
asking questions. "Yes, Miss Blanche,
he had a beard worthy of free citi-
zen."

piled Toye, with unhesitating candor.
THE worst evidence in the world, in
my opinion, and I've given the matter
some thought, is the evidence of iden-
tity." He turned to Cazalet, who had
betrayed quickened interest in his
views. Shall tell you why? Think
how often you're not SO sure if you
have seen man before or if you never
have! You kind of shrink from nod
. ding, or else you nod wrong; if you
didn't ever have that feeling, then
you're not like any other man know"
Il have!" cried Cazalet. 'I've had
it all my life, even in the wilds; but
never thought Of it before"
Think of it now" said Toye, "and
you'n see there may be flaws in the
best evidence of identity that money
can buy. But circumstantial evidence
can't lie, Miss Blanche, if you get
enough of it. If the links fit in, to
prove that certain person was in a
certain place at certain time, guess
that's worth all the oaths of all the
eye-witnesses that ever saw daylight"
Cazalet laughed harshly. as for no
apparent reason he led the way into

Stains on the hands may be re-

If grease is spilled on the floor, dash
