There were murmurs OF sympathy
from the four young men, who each In
his own fashion appeared to derive
consolation from Sir Tlmothy's frank
and somewhat caustic statement. Fran

He seemed TO have relapsed into a

Sidney voss. who was up for the
Sheridan club and had once been there,
glanced respectfully across at Francis.
"You ought to know something about
crime and criminals. Mr.. Ledsam," he
said. "Have you any theory about the

Francis set down the glass from
which he had been drinking. and, fold
ing up the evening paper, laid it by
the side of him.
