 That was the narrative which I read that night to young Trevor, and think, Watson, that under the cir cumstances 1t was a dramatic one.

As to the sailor and Beddoes, neither of them was ever heard Of again after that day on which the let ter of warning was written. They both disappeared utterly and com pleteiy. No complaint had been lodged with the police, so that Bed does had mistaken a threat for a deed. Hudson had been seen lurking about, and it was believed by the police that he had done away with Beddoes and had fled. For myself. I believe that the truth was exactly the opposite. I think that 1t Is most probable that Beddoes, pushed to desperation and believing himself to have been already betrayed. had re- venged himself upon Hudson, and had fled from the country with as much money as he could lay his hands on Those are the facts of the case, Doctor, and if they are of any use to yot1r collection am sure that they are very heartily at your ser vice"
