CHAPTER VIII.
Finqer-Prlnts.

Hilton Toye was the kind OF Ameri-
can who knew London as we'll 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 IL 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; it was no morbid
taste in Hilton Toye, but a scientific
hobby that appealed to his mental
subtlety. And subtle he was. vet
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 to
such soul needs no analysis She
had struck through all complexities to
the core, such as 1t was or as she
might make It, AS yet she could only
admire the character the man had
shown, though it had upset her none
the less At Engelberg he had pro-
posed to her inside of two weeks"
as he had admitted without compunc-
ton at the time. 1t had taken him.
he said. about two minutes to make
up his mind; but the following sum-
mer he had laid more deliberate siege.
in accordance with some old idea that
she had let fall to soften her first re-
fusal The result had been the same.

had denied him the least particle of
hope, and he had warned her that she
had not heard the last of him by any
means, and never would till she mar
ried another man. This had incensed
her at the time, but a great deal less
on subsequent reflection; and such
was the position between that pair
when Toye and Cazalet landed in Eng
land from the same steamer.
On this second day ashore. as GAIA
let sat over a late breakfast in Jer-
myn street, Toye sent in his card and
was permitted to follow II, rather to
his surprise He found his man frank
ly divided between kidneys-and-bacon
and the morning paper. but in hearty
mood Indicative OF amends for his
great heat in yesterdays argument
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1916-04-21
palmer indication was the down.

A palmer Indication was the down
right yet sunny manner in which GAIA
let at once returned to the contentious
topic
Well, my dear Toye, what do you
think OF 1t now?"
Il was going to ask you what you
thought, but ! guess | can see from
your face"
Il think the police are rotters for
not setting him free last night"
"Scruton?"
Yes. OF course, the casell break
down when 1t comes on next week. but
they oughtn't to wait for that. They've
no right to detan a man in custody
when the bottoms out of their case
already"
"But-but the papers claim they've
found the very things they were
searching for" Toye looked non
plused. as well he might, by an appar-
emily perverse jubilation over such in
telligence
They haven't found the missing
capt." crowed Cazalet What they
have found is Craven's watch and
keys, and the silver-mounted trun-
cheon that killed him But they found
them in place where they couldn't
possibly have been put by the man
identified as Scruton!"
Say. where was that?" asked Toye
with great interest. my paper only
says the things were found. not
where"
mo more does mine. but can tell
you, because | helped to find EN-"

ued Cazalet. I'm the foundations I'M

Details followed in all fullness; the
listener might have had a part in the
Uplands act of yesterdays drama
might have played in the library scene
with his adored Miss Blanche. so viz
idly was every minute of that crowd
ed hour brought home to him. He was
not so sure that he had any very def
mite conception of the foundations oil
an English house
ours were like ever so many little
tiny rooms" said Cazalet, where
couldn't stand nearly upright even a.
a small boy without giving my head {
crack against the ground floors. They
led into one another by a lot of little
manholes-tight fits even for a boy
