come mere. 1 WOFK Tor my master,
Mr.. Pelly. He trusts me. He tells
me the secret that he has come here
to hide. He shows me the mine that
he has found. And for years we work
it together, taking out the gold. He
want me to take a share, but gold is
revenge in my heart. 1t shall be all
for him and Mam'zelle Joyce some
day.

and 1t will be his own.
"And so a policeman comes here
that was during the war. But my
master could not be found, for he was
dead already. You see, Messieurs,
Railway thought perhaps he would
not be hung after all, since it was so
long since my master killed his enemy,
and so the mine would not be his and
