Blenkiron's instructions were that we two should live humbly and keep our eyes and ears open, for we were outside suspicion the cantankerous lame Boer and his loutish servant from Arosa. Somewhere in the place was a rendezvous of our enemies, and thither came Chelius on his dark errands. Peter nodded his head sagely, 'I think I have guessed the place.
His principal lieutenant and Adlatus in the management of this association, which is in every sense of the word a court institution, is Major von Chelius, who holds a commission in the kaiser's own body regiment of Hussars of the Guard.
We want to know the character which is behind all the personalities. Above all we want to know its foibles. If we had only a hint of some weakness we might make a plan. 'Well, let's set down all we know, I cried, for the more I argued the keener I grew. I told them in some detail the story of the night in the Coolin and what I had heard there. 'There's the two names Chelius and Bommaerts.
Halpersohn approved of the invention of homoeopathy, more on account of its therapeutics than for its medical system; he was corresponding at this time with Hedenius of Dresden, Chelius of Heidelburg, and the celebrated German doctors, all the while holding his hand closed, though it was full of discoveries. He wished for no pupils.
But Ivery did not rise to the fly, and though he had a dozen agents working for him on the quiet he could never hear of the name Chelius. That was, he reckoned, a very private and particular name among the Wild Birds. However, he got to know a good deal about the Swiss end of the 'Deep-breathing' business. That took some doing and cost a lot of money.
It came inside a parcel of warm socks that arrived from my kind aunt. But the letter for me was not from her. It was in Blenkiron's large sprawling hand and the style of it was all his own. He told me that he had about finished his job. He had got his line on Chelius, who was the bird he expected, and that bird would soon wing its way southward across the mountains for the reason I knew of.
'You know your duty best, he said gravely. 'But you must help me. I must catch him at Santa Chiara, for it is a business of life and death. Is there a car to be had? 'There is mine. But there is no chauffeur. Chelius took him. 'I can drive myself and I know the road. But I have no pass to cross the frontier. 'That is easily supplied, he said, smiling.
'Mr Blenkiron he's in Paris too wouldn't hear of it. He hasn't just figured the thing out yet, he says. We've identified one of your names, but we're still in doubt about Chelius. 'Ah, Chelius! Yes, I see. We must get the whole business complete before we strike. Has old Blenkiron had any luck? 'Your guess about the "Deep-breathing" advertisement was very clever, Dick.
As quoted by Chelius, both Hennen and Cline relate cases in which men have been shot through the skirts of the jacket, the ball penetrating the abdomen above the tuberosity of the ischium, and entering the bladder, and the men have afterward urinated pieces of clothing, threads, etc., taken in by the ball.
But who were Chelius and Bommaerts, and what in the name of goodness were the Wild Birds and the Cage Birds? Twice in the past three years I had had two such riddles to solve Scudder's scribble in his pocket-book, and Harry Bullivant's three words.
