The very fact that YOU know the
name refers TO you. not someone else,
shows that that blunted memory of
yours has begun to function In some
degree, Now think, What do you
know about Wolf Darby"
Ben tried In vain TO find an answer.
A whole world of meaning fingered
just beyond the reach OF his CROPPING
mind; but always II euded him.
Forest suddenly spoke to old Ezra
Melville; and the latter put small,
cardboard box into his hands,

your own possessions once--you sent
them yourself TO Abner Darby, your
late father--and | want you TO see II
you remember them"
Evidently this was the climax In the
examination. Forest opened the box,
taking therefrom roll Of white cot
ton. This he slowly unrolled, reveal
ing two small, ribboned ornaments OF
gold or bronze.
Ben's starting eyes fastened on
them. No doubt he recognized them.

said slowly. brokenly. II won it,

wheels of His memory, starting into

Again the great darkness dropped
over him. Yet to Forest the expert

claimed. He turned to Mcnamara,
the Governor. His brain Is just as

right environment, the right treat
