convey anything to your mind?"
Doctor McMurdoch's eyebrows
shot upward most amazingly. "I
won't insult you by surprising that
you have chosen such a time for
Joking" he said, dourly.
Harley's manner was almost
fierce. when 1 tell you why I ask

merely increased by the death of
Miss Abingdon's natural protector.
1 regret, Sir, that I approached you
for information, since you have mis-
judged my motive"
"Oh," said Doctor McMurdoch,
gloomily. I'm afraid I've offended
you. But I meant well, Mr.. Har-
ley" A faint trace of human emo
ton showed Itself in his deep voice.
Charley Abingdon and / were stu
dents together in Edinburgh" he
explained. II was mayhap q little
strange"
His apology was so evidently sim
cere that Haley relented at once.
"Please say no more, Doctor Nc
Murdoch" re responded. IT fully
appreciate your feeling in the mat
ter. At such a time a stranger can
only be an intruder; but'-he fixed
his keen eyes upon the physician
there is more underlying all this
than You suspect or could readily
believe. You will live to know That
have spoken the truth"
"Go ahead" said Doctor McMur-
doch, and, tuning to the side table,
he poured out two liberal portions of
whisky. IF there's anything l can
do to help, count me at your serv-
ice. You tell me he had fears about
little Phil?"
"He had" answered Harley, land
it is maddening to think that he died
before he could acquaint me with
their nature. But I have hopes that
you q help me in this. For in-
stance"-again he fixed his gaze
upon the gloomy face of the physi-
cian-"who is the distinguished
Oriental gentleman with whom Sir
Charles had recently become ac-
quainted?
Doctor McMurdoch's expression
remained utterly blank, and he slow
ly shook his head. II haven't an
idea in the world" he declared. "A
patient, perhaps?"
Possibly" said Harley, conscious
OF some disappointment; yet from
the way he spoke of him I scarcely
think that he was a patient. Surely
Sir Charles, having resided SO long
in India, numbered several Orientals
among his acquaintance If not
among his friends?"
"None ever came to his home"
replied Doctor McMurdoch. HE had
all the Anglo-Indian's prejudices
against men of color" He rested his
massive chin in his hand and stared
down r~eflectively at the carpet.
Again Harley found himself at a
deadlock, and it was with scanty
hope of success that he put his next
question to the gloomy Scot. WAS
Sir Charles a friend of Mr.. Nicol
Brinn?" he asked.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-19

in a new light. Nicol Brinn' and
Fire Tongue were the last words
which Sir Charles Abingdon uttered"
A short silence ensued, during
which Doctor McMurdoch sat star
ing modify down at the carpet and
Harley slowly paced up and down
the room; then:
"In view of the fact" he said
suddenly. that Sir Charles clearly
apprehended an attempt upon his
life, are you satisfied professionally
that death was due to natural
eauses?"
Perfectly satisfied" replied the
physician, looking up with a start:
perfectly satisfied. 1t was unex-
pected, of course, but such cases are
by no means unusual. He was for
merly a keen athlete, remember. IT'S
often so. Surely you don't suspect
foul play? 1 understood you to mean
that his apprehensions were on be-
half of Phil"
Paul Harley stood still, staring
meditatively in the others direction.
There is not a scrap of evidence
to support such a theory" he ad-
