The doctor was sent for to inspect

So you think this meat isn't fit for
a man in your position to eat?" said
he. ALLOW me to tell you that greater
men than ever you will be have eaten
it. Even the commander in chief
wasn't above eating it in the Crimea,
and made many hearty meal of it."
"Oh, did 'e?" said our over-nice re-

Yes, he did," replied the surgeon.
"Oh, WELL" retorted the. man, 1T

Then Cazalet introduced himself to
the old gardener whom he had known
all his life; and by rights the man

wise humor. But old Savage hailed

had belied his surname, but never the
alliterative libel on his native county

Are you sure that you saw him ?"
asked Blanche, already under GAIA

Savage looked cautiously toward
the house before replying; then he
lowered his voice dramatically. Sure,
Miss Blanche. Why, | see him that
night as plain as fare to see Mus

Il should have thought it was too
dark to see anybody properly" said
Blanche, and Cazalet nodded vigorous

Dark, Miss Blanche? Why, there
was broad daylight, and if that wasn't
there were the lodge lights on to see
him by!" His stage voice fell a sepul-

Savage said this with pleased and
yacuous grin, looking Cazalet full in
the face; his rheumy eyes were red
as the sunset they faced; and Cazalet
drew a deep breath as Blanche and he
turned back toward the river.

have found is Craven's watch and
keys. and the silver-mounted trun-

them in a place where they couldn't

CHAPTER Viii.
Finger-Prlnts.


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 were also those of the lis
tener-and not always then-half his
acquaintance had no idea how he
made his money, and the other half
wondered how he spent his time. OF
his mere interests, which were many
Toye made no such secret; but it was
quite impossible to deduce a main in.
dustry from the by-products of his
level-headed versatility.
Criminology, for example, was an
obvious by-product; 1t was no morbid
taste in Hilton Toye, but a scientific
hobby that appealed to his mental
subtlety. And subtle he was, YET
with strange simplicities; grave and
dignifed, yet addicted to the express
siVe phraseology of his less enlight
ened countrymen; naturally sincere
and yet always capable of some in
genuous duplicity.
The appeal of Blanche Macnair tc
such a soul needs no analysis. She
had struck through all complexities tC
the core, such as it was or as she
might make it. AS yet she could only
admire the character the man hat
shown, though it had upset her none
the less. At Engelberg he had pro
posed to her inside of two weeks.

ton at the time. 1t had taken him

hope, and he had warned her that sh

her at the time, but a great deal les
on subsequent reflection; and sucl
was the position between that PAL
when Toye and Cazalet landed in Ems
land from the same steamer.
On this second day ashore, as Cas-
let sat over late breakfast in Je,

Three or four compartments from

Cazalet.
Did you find them?"
We'll, kicked against the trun-
cheon, but Drinkwater dug it up. The
watch and keys were with it,
Say, were they buried?"
"Only in the loose rubble and brick
dusty stuff that you get in founda-

must have known something, or else
it's a bully fiuke in his favor"
Il don't follow you, Toye."
I'm thinking Of flnger-prints. II
he'd just've laid those things right
down, he'd have left the print of his
hand as large as life for Scotland

"The devil he would" exclaimed
Cazalet. 81 wish you'd explain" he
added; remember I'm a wild man

Cazalet looked at him a moment
before complying; then his fine, shape

he might take it up OF course there
was no mark whatever. and Cazalet
laughed.
