Come to sum them up, they fitted as.
toundingly well. Grandfather Jasper
had always been exceedingly close
mouthed when speaking Of his invest

the last man In the world to have con-
fessed that he had been bitten, even in

too, the course he had pursued with

just like him; he would have wanted
year in which to think 1t over-or may
Ire longer. Also, 1t was like him to
keep all the identifying marks as
carefully hidden as nut meat in its
shell.
T At this point began to think about
getting action. One word from Bull

was, would settle the identities beyond
question, and that word was his "old
gentleman's" name. He hadn't men,

just happen-so. But, by heavens, I'd
make him mention it.!

connected with it might not have list

Bullerton's usual address, when he
was in Colorado and not in Denver,
was In care of a certain bank in Grip

way it had been before he went to
South America.
