Innes retiring, there presently en-| tered a distinguished-looking, elderly gentleman upon whose florid facn Tested an expression not unlike that of embarrassment. | “Mr. Harley,” he began, “T feel) somewlat ill at ease in encroaching | upon your time, for I am by no means sure that my case comes with- tn your particular prevince.” “Sit down, Sir Charles,"* sald Har. ley with quiet geniality, “Officially, my working day !s ended; but if noth- ing comes of your visit beyond a chat} tt will have been very welcome. Cal. cutta, was it not, where we last met?” “It was,” replied Sir Charles, plac- Ing his hat and cane upon the tabie| and sitting down rather wearily tn} & dig leather armchair which Harley had pushed forward. Sir Chartes evidently was oppress- by some secret trouble, thus Har- &: mused silently, as, taking out a of tobacco from a cabinet beside him, he began in leisurely manner | to load a briar, j Sir Charles slowly nodded his head, | and seemed tn some measure to re- cover confidence. “Briefly, then,” he ald, “I Relieve | my life is In danger.” } “Hi'm,” said Harley, replacing the | tin in the cupboard and striking a! match. “You are naturally anxious for the particulars,” Sir Charles presently resumed. “They bear, I regret to say, a close resemblance to the aymp- | toms of a well-known form of hal-| tueination. In short, with one excep- | tion, they may practically all be| clasapd under the head of survell-/ iance.” “Surveillance,” said Paul Harley. | “You mean that you are more or less | sonstantly followed?” “I do.” “Anything else?” “One very notable thing, Mr. Har- ley. I was actually assaulted less than a week ago within sight of my ran house.” “Indeed!
