Evidently Hickey picked a pair OF

causes some regret that Detroit did
not make a fight for Koob when the

CHAPTER VIZ.

Hilton Toye was the kind of Ameri.
can who knew London as well as most
Londoners, and some other capitals a
good deal better than their respective
citizens of corresponding intelligence
His travels were mysteriously but en-.
viably interviewer with business; he
had an air of enjoying himself, and at
the same time making money to pay
for his enjoyment, wherever he went.
His hotel days were much the same all
over Europe: many appointments, but
abundant leisure AS, however, he
never spoke about his own affairs un-
less they we're also those OF the lis
tener-and not always then-half his
acquaintances had no idea how he
made his money, and the other half
wondered how he spent his time. OF
his mere interests, which we're many,
Toye made no such secret; but II was

dustry from the by-produets Of his
leVel-headed versatility
Criminology, for example, was an
obvious by-product; ii was no morbid
taste In Hilton Toye, but scientific
hobby that appealed to his mental
subtlety, And subtle he was. yet
with strange simplicities; grave and
dignifed, yet addicted to the exp es
sive phraseology of his less enlight.
ened countrymen; naturally sincere
and yet always capable of some in.
genuous duplicity.
The appeal OF Blanche Macnair to
such soul needs no analysis She
had struck through all complexities to
the core, such as 1t was or as she
might make ii. AS yet she could only
admire the character the man had
shown. though 1t had upset her none
the less At Engelberg he had pro
posed to her inside of two weeks :"

In accordance with some old idea that
she had let fall to soften her first re

had not heard the last Of him by any
means. and never would till she mar

her at the time, but great deal less
on subsequent reflection; and such
was the position between that pair
